Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0471447A1] A footwear sole incorporates a cruciate tension member (1) located predominantly between the forefoot and rearfoot portions of the sole, the general directions of the linear elements (2,3) of the cruciform being oblique in relation to the longitudinal axis of the sole, and the position at which the linear elements of the cruciform intersect being substantially in the shank portion of the sole. The tension member provides a restraining force on the twisting of the sole which frequently tends to occur in use, especially in sports and play usage, without detriment to the longitudinal flexibility/stiffness of the sole. <IMAGE>
