The invention concerns an article of footwear comprising a footwear upper attached to a footwear base, said footwear base comprising a sole part and a heel part, said heel part having an upper surface on which the weight of a person's foot will press and a lower surface adapted to contact the ground, the area of the lower surface being greater than the area of the upper surface, said lower surface extending outside vertical planes passing through the upper surface at the periphery of the upper surface on both sides of the heel part and behind the heel part, and a peripheral ridge extending upwardly from the surface on which the weight of a person's foot will press, said peripheral ridge flaring outwardly on both sides of the heel part and behind the heel part. The flaring occurs from the top of the ridge to the lower surface of the heel part. The upper inner surface of the heel part is attached to the footwear upper.
