Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9214373A1] A shoe sole comprising a sole portion (1) with a forward or toe end (2) and a rear or heel end (3), an inner medial side (1a) and an outer lateral side (1b). Blade-like projections (5) extend downwardly from the sole portion (1) and are angled relative to a generally longitudinal line (4) from the toe end (2) to the rear end (3) of the sole portion (1). The angled projections provide increased grip for the outside foot of a wearer during turning movement. The heights of the projections (20) progressively reduce from the rear end (13) of the sole portion towards the toe end (12). The projections (5) are arranged in rows extending crosswise of the sole portion (1) from the medial side (1a) to the lateral side (1b) thereof. The sole portion includes at least one transverse flexing zone at or in the vicinity of the location of the ball of the foot of the wearer and a longitudinal flexing zone extending along the general centre line (4) of the sole portion (1) from the toe end (2) to the rear end (3).
