Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006057978A1] Impact-attenuating elements (100) for footwear or the like may include (a) a first impact-attenuating material (102) (e.g., foam) in a first region; and (b) a second impact-attenuating material in a second region (e.g. foam of a higher density). At least one characteristic of the impact-attenuating characteristics (e.g. support) provided by the impact-attenuating element (100) may be controlled by changing a position or orientation of at least a portion of the impact-attenuating element (100) in the footwear. For example, the "firmness" of the support provided by the impact-attenuating element may be changed by rotating or flipping the impact-attenuating element so that foam of a different density is provided at different areas of the foot.
