The upper portion has compartments comprising an outer layer of material (15) and an inner layer of material (14), and containing a granular temperature retentive material (23). Preferably, the sole is void of granular temperature retentive material. Alternatively, a pouch contains temperature-retentive granular material and is disposed within a corresponding compartment of the upper portion.
