The midsole support cradle element (3) is preferably constructed from a first density ethylvinylacetate (EVA) foam, spreading practically over the total length and width of the foot. The heel rocker element (2) is preferably constructed from a second density EVA foam wherein the second density EVA foam is firmer than the first density EVA foam. The outsole of the sole assembly may include a rubber lateral wall element (5) and a toe lift (6). A midsole support structure is provided, wherein first density support cradle element (3) and the second density heel rocker element (2) are positioned in a way to form a continuous bridge from heel to forefoot region in order to provide an appropriate resilient support and take control over foot twist movements.
