The invention provides a running shoe 1 comprising a sole 2, a foot retaining upper 6 joined to the sole 2, and at least one resilient member 8 which extends below the ground engaging lower surface 4 of the sole 2 when the resilient member is not compressed, and which compresses under the wearer's weight in use so as to not extend beyond the ground engaging lower surface 4 of the sole 2. The resilient members 8 typically have a higher energy return than the sole 2 of the shoe 1 and may be made from foam or a gas encased in a plastics material. The resilient members 8 may extend through a bore or aperture in the sole 2 to contact the wearer's heel. One or more of the resilient members 8 may be removable and may be located at the heel area of the shoe or under the ball of the foot. The shoe 1 may be made from a kit. |
