Abstract (en)
The present invention provides footwear for use in training a person to use a desired part of the foot to engage the ground when running or walking, which footwear comprises a sole (12) having a ground engaging part for engaging the ground during walking or running. The ground engaging part of the sole (12) includes a base (26) and at least one wear layer (24, 24') of different visual appearance (for example a different colour) to material underlying it. The wear layer(s) are preferentially worn away during walking or running in the places where the sole engages the ground to expose the visually different underlying material, which can be used to analyse the gait of the walker or runner. Inserts (28) can also be included in the top of the sole in places where the user wants to train to use or train to avoid to give the user sensory feedback as to whether he is using those places.
