<p>A footwear device (2000) comprises a rigid base (2100) for supporting the foot (2001) of a user thereon, a medial forefoot counter (2201) associated with the rigid base (2100) for contact with the foot (2001) of a user medial to the medial aspect of the head of the first metatarsal, a heel counter (2300) on the rigid base (2100) for contact with the foot (2001) posterior to the posterior aspect of the heel and a forefoot/midfoot compression member (2400) for exerting a downwardly and rearwardly directed force on the dorsum of the foot (2001). The medial forefoot counter (2201), the heel counter (2300) and the forefoot/midfoot compression member (2400) cooperate with each other to be in substantially continuous contact with the user's foot (2001) in the above-mentioned areas, while the remainder of the foot is substantially unconstrained to accommodate the changing architecture of the foot (2001) when moving between bipedal and monopedal stances.</p> |
