Abstract (en)

A grid for selecting an appropriate embodiment of an athletic shoe (10) having an upper (11) and a multiple part sole (12) forming an interior volume for receiving an individual's foot. The multiple part sole comprises an inner sole (16) for engaging the plantar surface of the foot, a midsole (17) attached to the exterior of the inner sole and substantially coextensive with the inner sole, and an outer sole (20) attached to the midsole. The outer sole has a first portion (21) extending from the toe of the shoe to a position beneath the foot selected according to the intended use of the shoe, and has a second contiguous portion (28) extending from the selected position to the heel of the shoe, the first portion providing a landing surface for the shoe and the second portion being relatively thin as compared to the first portion thereby promoting proper posture and gait of the wearer.
