A cushioning sole (10) for use in contact with a foot, the foot being characterised by a specific shape relief and pressure map. The cushioning structure (10) comprises a central layer (12) of a rubber-like thermoplastic material having an upper surface (14) devised to be in contact with the foot and having a shape relief conforming said specific shape relief of the foot, and a bottom surface (16) opposite said upper surface (14). The cushioning sole (10) further comprises a layout of space-apart anatomical pressure-receiving fingers (20) made integrally with the central layer (12) and protruding from at least one of said upper surface (14) and bottom surface (16). Each of the pressure-receiving fingers (20) has a predetermined height and diameter. The layout, the height and the diameter of the pressure-receiving fingers (20) are determined in function of the physical characteristics of the rubber-like thermoplastic material and the specific pressure map of the foot, whereby the overall pressure-receiving fingers (20) suit the specific pressure map of the foot.
