Abstract
An arch support for the foot includes a plantar support member having a cavity to removably receive a metatarsal support element; metatarsal support elements of different height can be used depending on the activity engaged in by the wearer; heel wedges of different height may similarly be used; the metatarsal support element has, in particular, an open lattice-like structure which reduces material and weight of the support, improves flexibility and allows better air circulation.

6675502 - Integrated injection forming shoe midsole having a dual-layer pad

An integrated injection forming shoe midsole having a dual-layer pad includes a midsole and a dual-layer pad integrally formed by an injection forming process to form a tightly bonding between the midsole and the dual-layer pad. The dual-layer pad has a softer pliable pad on the upper layer and a harder and resilient cushion pad on the lower layer, and a buffer section corresponding to the heel location. Through the buffer section and the upper and lower-layers which have different material properties, the midsole may provide wearers more comfortable feeling and shock-absorbing bouncing resilience when touching ground surface.

A shoe that reduces the likelihood of stress fractures occurring in the wearer's metatarsals. The shoe includes a midsole made of (i) a stress modulation layer that is made of material of relatively high duromoeter in the region of the first, fourth and fifth metatarsal, and a material of medium durmoeter in the region of the second and third durometer, and (ii) a stress moderation layer made mostly of a material of relatively low durometer.

6041524 - Footwear having recessed heel cup - Owned by Jeffrey S. Brooks, Inc. (Creve Coeur, MO)

Footwear including a sole having a front and a back for supporting a bottom of a foot. A heel cup at the back of the sole receives and supports a heel of the foot. The heel cup has a bottom for further supporting the bottom of the foot and a side wall extending up from the bottom. The side wall has a generally concave rear section for receiving and supporting the back of the heel and opposite side sections extending forward from the rear section. The recess in the rear section of the side wall of the heel cup is offset laterally from a longitudinal central vertical plane of the heel cup. The recess is sized for accommodating the rearwardly protruding lateral posterior portion of the calcaneus of the foot.
