A shoe (1) consisting of an upper (2), a sole (4), and an articulate collar (6) located on the upper portion at the rear of the shoe. The articulate collar (6) has a plurality of support members (7) which cradle and protect a user's achilles tendon area. The articulate collar resembles a cage-like structure, laterally supports a user's ankle and may provide ventilation. The support members (7) can move in concert with the movement of a user's foot. The invention also relates to a method of constructing a shoe (1) having an articulate collar (6). |
