Abstract

An article of footwear has an upper and a compressible structure secured to the upper. The compressible structure can include one or more materials with physical properties that singly or in vertical aggregate, generally conform to those of a spring, following Hooke's Law, F=-kx, whereby the ratio of k/kideal approaches a value of 1.0, wherein the ideal k value is defined as kideal=Fimpulse/xs-max, for a compressible structure region located adjacent to the corresponding region of the foot that generates the force impulse.
