Abstract (en)

[origin: US2018140044A1] A footwear stabilizing system is provided. The system comprises an upper and a sole attached to the upper. The sole comprises an outsole comprising an inner surface formed in a biomechanically correct shape and an insert attached to the outsole, the insert comprising at least one of single piece of material and a fluid-filled bag. The insert is configured to conform to and stabilize a human foot upon impact. The outsole is configured to match a common curvature of a heel and arch of the foot. The insert is constructed of and/or contains non-Newtonian material. The outsole is configured with a shaped heel cup configured to absorb impact across entire heel. The outsole works in conjunction with the insert to provide foot stabilization and arch support. The insert reacts at each step to foot shape and provides support upon impact.
