Shoe with rigid device with heel cup and anatomically shaped arch appliance, for torsional stability and shoe structure integrity

摘要

A shoe construction consists of a rigid molded device (116) comprising a heel cup (118) and an anatomically shaped arch appliance (120) extending forwardly from the heel cup to just proximal to the metatarsal heads. It is stated that this causes the foot of the wearer to assume an anatomically correct position in the shoe, provides torsional stability and contributes to shoe structure integrity.
