Abstract

A sole for a shoe, comprising: a first portion and a second portion, the first portion configured to support a heel of a foot and the second portion configured to support a sole of the foot; and a bridging portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the bridging portion extends across a base of the sole and extends around an outer surface of the first portion isolating the first portion of the sole from the second portion of the sole, such that the first portion can move independently of the second portion.

Claims (20)

1. A sole for a shoe, comprising: a first portion and a second portion, the first portion configured to support a heel of a foot and the second portion configured to support a sole of the foot; and a bridging portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion, wherein the bridging portion extends across a base of the sole and extends around an outer surface of the first portion isolating the first portion of the sole from the second portion of the sole, such that the first portion can move independently of the second portion.
2. The sole of claim 1 , wherein the bridging portion comprises a rounded channel and a groove, wherein the rounded channel circumvents an outer-facing surface of the first portion, to extend into the groove that traverses the base of the sole.
3. The sole of claim 1 or claim 2, wherein relative translation between the first and second portions of the sole dissipate energy inputted into the sole.
4. The sole of any one of claims 1-3, wherein at least one of the first and second portions of the sole are made from an elastic or elastomeric material.
5. The sole of any one of claims 1-4, wherein the first portion provides a prominently rounded side profile, when viewed from a rear of the sole, that extends from the base towards the rounded channel on the outer-facing surface.
6. The sole of any one of claims 1-5, wherein at least one of the first and the second portion of the sole is subdivided into discrete regions that dissipate energy.
7. The sole of any one of claims 1-6, wherein the first portion and second portion have interlocking cooperating profiles.
8. The sole of any one of claims 1-7, wherein the bridging portion extends around the first potion.
9. The sole of any one of claims 2 and 3-8 when dependent from claim 2, wherein the groove of the bridging portion forms a V-shape interposed between the first and second portions of the sole.
10. The sole of any one of claims 2 and 3-9 when dependent from claim 2, wherein the groove of the bridging portion forms an X-shaped configuration across the sole, the X- shape groove extending into the first portion.
11. The sole of any one of claims 1-10, further comprising a curved longitudinal channel decoupling a medial side of the sole from a lateral side of the sole.
12. The sole of any one of claims 2 and 3-11 when dependent from claim 2, wherein the groove is formed having two opposing side walls.
13. The sole of claim 12, wherein the two opposing side walls converge toward an upper portion of the sole.
14. The sole of claim 12 or claim 13, wherein the side walls define a series of discrete steps that converge upon one another towards the upper boundary of the sole.
15. The sole of any one of claims 2 and 3-14 when dependent from claim 2, wherein the groove extends substantially through the thickness of the sole.
16. The sole of any one of claims 1-15, further comprising a tread that continuously wraps around a side profile of at least one of the first portion and the second portion.
17. The sole of any one of claim 1-16, wherein the first portion is integrally formed with the second portion.
18. The sole of any one of claim 1-17, wherein the first portion and the second portion are made from different materials .
19. A shoe comprising the sole according to any one of claims 1-18.
20. A shoe comprising an upper, an insole and the sole of any one of claims 1-18.
