Abstract (en)
There is described a shoe sole product (1), which may be a sole, an insole or a midsole. The shoe sole product is formed from elastomeric material of a predetermined hardness, and at the heel part has a central region (5) formed from relatively softer material, the central region being surrounded by a ring (6) of material whose hardness is intermediate the hardness of the sole product and the central region. The forepart of the sole product may also have a region (7) of softer material inset into the relatively harder material of the sole product, so as to underlie the ball of the foot of a user. The region of softer material may have a forward extension (58a) to underlie the user's big toe, or a separate toe region may be provided.
