ABSTRACT:
An article of footwear including a shell that provides stability. The shell can include a heel cup and a wall extending forward of the heel cup and around the periphery of the forefoot, returning to the heel cup. The shell can also define a hole in the forefoot region. A cushion in the form of a midsole can be secured in the shell, with a portion extending at least partially through the shell hole. An upper can be secured to the shell with stitching passing through the upper and the shell wall in at least the forefoot region; and rearward of the stitching, the upper can be secured with cement and/or adhesives to the shell and/or the midsole. The footwear provides comfort and stability, for example toe-to-heel and lateral stability, especially during toe-off, i.e., the propulsion portion of a gait.
