ABSTRACT:
A sole having the ability to provide both stability and cushioning includes at least one stabilizer positioned at selected locations around the perimeter of the sole. Stabilizers are positioned at perimeter locations where sudden impacts are unlikely and greater resistance to compression is needed to stabilize the running motion. The perimeter areas of the sole most likely to experience sudden impacts during running and like activities remain unencumbered of the stabilizers.
