The first region is preferably a second layer and the second region is preferably a first layer. The first layer is generally shoe-shaped and has a first hardness. The second layer has a second hardness and is designed to underlie the periphery of the forefoot, the periphery of the rearfoot, and the centroid region of the foot and said second layer having means defining a first opening designed to underlie the calcaneal region and means defining a second opening designed to underlie the metatarsal or transverse arch.
