ABSTRACT:
Footwear having an upper and a bottom, the bottom having an inwardly curved mid region, a protuberance is formed at the mid region which extends medially from the mid region beyond an imaginary line drawn from the widest part of the toe section of the footwear to the widest section of the heel of the footwear. In its preferred embodiments, the protuberance is convex in top plan view and convex in transverse sections starting from the widest area at the bottom of the protuberance and narrowing towards the top and in top plan view starting from a narrow front end of the protuberance being widest at midlength and then narrowing again at the end of the protuberance. Preferably, the protuberance is a medial extension of the longitudinal medial arch support of the footwear and has its vertical center line slightly rearward of the vertical center line of the longitudinal medial arch support.
