CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application is a continuation of International Application PCT/EP2004/005018 which was filed on May 11, 2004, now PCT Publication No. WO 2005/004658 and claims priority from Italian Patent Application No. TV2003 A 000095 filed Jul. 14, 2003, the contents of which are herein wholly incorporated by reference.
It is known that persons practicing sport or undertaking excursions on rough ground require a shoe with special characteristics. Said shoe must not only protect the foot from any knocks or deformations, for which reason it must have a rigid structure, but it must also have a system which allows one to walk or run comfortably, namely a system for absorbing the stresses acting on the foot. Equally importantly, again in order to ensure greater comfort and avoid fatigue, the shoe must be able to adapt its shape to that of the foot of the person using it, whence the use of soft and deformable materials.
