Definitions

  • FIG. 6 is a cross-section of the shoe sole of FIG. 1 taken along line 6 - 6 in FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 15 is a bottom plan view of the shoe sole of FIG. 14 ;
  • the heel cushioning element 136 is disposed within the heel region 110 of the sole 100 and vertically between the forefoot cushioning element 132 and the outsole 126 . Moreover, the heel cushioning element 136 is disposed vertically between the midfoot cushioning element 134 and the outsole 126 . The heel cushioning element 136 adjoins each of the forefoot cushioning element 132 and the outsole 126 in the heel region 110 of the sole 100 .
  • the forefoot cushioning element 132 , the heel cushioning element 136 , and the midfoot cushioning element 134 have different hardness values such that the forefoot region 114 of the sole 100 has a first hardness, the heel region 110 has a second hardness less than the first hardness, and the midfoot region 112 has a third hardness that is less than both the first hardness and the second hardness.
  • Embodiments of the shoe soles described are particularly well suited for running, and provide several advantages over known running shoe soles.
  • embodiments of the shoes soles described herein have a bottom profile that is contoured and shaped to promote an impact or strike point along the midfoot region of the sole, rather than the heel region.
  • the shoe soles described herein are generally convex, and curve upward from the midfoot region to each of the heel and forefoot regions. The shoe soles thereby promote a dynamic, rolling action during running as a user's weight shifts from the heel region to the forefoot region.
