A sole for an item of footwear comprises a platform 200 with a recess, and a midsole 100 substantially filling the recess. The midsole 100 is formed from a first material which has a lower compressive resistance than a second material from which the platform 200 is formed. This provides cushioning to the wearer of a shoe to which the sole is fitted. The recess is defined by a wall 250 of the platform which surrounds the midsole. The midsole if preferably a single piece of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and may be tapered from the heel region to the toe region to provide a thicker heel. The platform may comprise ABS, blown polyurethane (BPU) or wood. A ground contacting rubber layer 400 may be provided on the lower face 230 of the platform. |
