<p>A footwear item (1) for tilting a wearer's foot to address bio-mechanical problems. The item comprises a foot receiving component (2) for receiving all or part of a wearer's foot. The item also comprises a first and second wedge components (4, 5), each having first and second respectively inclined surfaces (4a, 4b, 5a, 5b), the first surface (4a) of the first wedge component being mountable against a lower surface of the foot receiving component, and the first surface (5a) of the second wedge component being mountable against the second surface (5b) of the first wedge component. The mounted position of the second wedge component on the first wedge component is rotationally adjustable about an axis perpendicular to the second surface of the first wedge component, for altering the angle of inclination of the second surface (5b) of the second wedge component with respect to the first surface (4a) of the first wedge component, to thereby apply an adjustable tilt to the foot receiving component.</p> |
