Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2014071977A1] A footwear sole (1) is described for correcting or controlling pronation of a wearer's foot during walking or running. The sole (1) includes a longitudinal pronation guiding element (2) of harder material than the surrounding midsole body (3). The longitudinal pronation guiding element (2) serves to provide a predetermined line of increased hardness which can be sensed by the wearer's foot while walking or running, and which gives the wearer a sensory indication of the correctness, or otherwise, of pronation during each step. A medial pronation control element (4) is provided for correcting overpronation during the initial ground-contact phase of each step, and a lateral pronation control element (5) is provided for correcting underpronation during the mid-forefoot phase of each step.
