a pad protruding from the base; and
a protrusion for protruding from the pad and for supporting a foot.
The protrusion may include a tear-drop shaped dome. The protrusion may rearwardly taper. The protrusion may be located in register with a fixed end of a central ray of the foot. In one embodiment, the protrusion may be located in register with three central rays of the foot. The protrusion may be located so as to raise the fore-foot in the footwear. The protrusion may support a transverse metatarsal arch of the foot. The pad may support three central rays of the foot. The pad may be located between the outer rays of the foot. The pad may be located behind the metatarsal heads with a front portion of the base located in register with the metatarsal heads.
The base may taper rearwardly to facilitate insertion into high heel footwear. The base may define a convex portion to suit flat soled footwear.
The base may include adhesive for adhering the base to the insole.
The cushion may further includes pebbles extending from a front portion of the base to facilitate gripping with the foot.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Preferred features, embodiments and variations of the invention may be discerned from the following Detailed Description which provides sufficient information for those skilled in the art to perform the invention. The Detailed Description is not to be regarded as limiting the scope of the preceding Summary of the Invention in any way. The Detailed Description will make reference to a number of drawings as follows:
Figure 1a is a plan view of a footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention,
Figure 1 b is a side view of the footwear cushion of Figure 1 a;
Figure 2a is a plan view showing a footwear cushion, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, aligned with a foot within footwear; Figure 2b is a side view showing the footwear cushion of Figure 2a aligned with a foot;
Figure 3 is a plan view of a footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention; and
Figure 4 is a plan view of a dimensioned footwear cushion in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a footwear cushion 2 as shown in Figure 1. The cushion 2 includes a base 4 for locating over an insole of footwear and a protrusion 6 protruding from the base 4. The protrusion 6 supports a transverse metatarsal arch of a foot 12 as shown in Figure 2. The footwear cushion 2 is described in detail below.
Returning to Figure 1a, the protrusion 6 is in the form of a tear-drop shaped dome, and rearwardly tapers to an apex 8. As can best be seen in Figure 2a, the protrusion 6 is located in register with a fixed end of a central ray 10c of the foot 12. Furthermore, the protrusion 6 is located in register with ray 10d of the foot 12 and raises the fore-foot in the footwear.
Returning to Figure 1a, the cushion 2 further includes a sulcus pad 14 protruding from the base 4 and from which the protrusion 6 protrudes. As can best be seen in Figure 2, the pad 14 supports the three central rays 10b, 10c, 10d of the foot 12, and is located between the outer rays 10a, 10e of the foot 12 which are instead able to move more freely. The pad 14 is located behind the metatarsal heads 16 with a front portion of the base 4 located in register with the metatarsal heads 16.
As can best be seen in Figure 1a, the base 4 defines a convex portion 18 proximal its rear apex to suit cushion insertion into flat soled footwear. In contrast, Figure 3 shows a base 4 which tapers rearwardly to facilitate insertion into high heel footwear and which defines a concave portion 20 proximal its rear apex. The. cushion 2 of Figure 3 does not include a sulcus pad 14. The base 4 includes adhesive for adhering the base 4 to the insole of the footwear. As can best be seen in Figures 1 b and 4, the cushion 2 further includes rows of pebbles 22 extending from a front portion of the base 4 to facilitate gripping with the foot 12. The cushion 2 is molded and integrally formed from homogeneous resilient material such as plastics or rubber material.
The foregoing preferred embodiments of the present invention provide a footwear cushion 2 that supports the foot 12 in problem areas to alleviate pain.
A person skilled in the art will appreciate that many embodiments and variations can be made without departing from the ambit of the present invention. In one embodiment, the protrusion 6 is located in register with the three central rays 10b, 10c, 10d of the foot 12.
The dimensions shown in Figure 4 are in millimeters, and are by way of example only.
In compliance with the statute, the invention has been described in language more or less specific to structural or methodical features. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to specific features shown or described since the means herein described comprises preferred forms of putting the invention into effect. The invention is, therefore, claimed in any of its forms or modifications within the proper scope of the appended claims appropriately interpreted by those skilled in the art.
