摘要

910506 In order to achieve optimal adaptation of the particular foot bed (4) directly supporting the foot to the wearer of footwear (9b) and nevertheless to ensure rigid support which relaxes the muscles, a rigid layer (10) of wood or rigid plastic is provided under the foot bed (4). The outsole (11) consists of flexible but hard-wearing material. Apart from an expedient heel height, the entire shoe base (14) is arched upward at the tip (11z) and expediently also at the heel (11f). The rigid layer (10) is preferably recessed and/or bendable in the toe area (11z). (Fig. 5a)
