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 pressurereceiving 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 pressurereceiving 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.
