ABSTRACT:
A shoe construction is provided which conforms to the natural design and movement of a human foot. The shoe includes a bottom and an upper. The bottom is defined by a heel, an arch portion, a hinge portion and a forward portion. The upper is attached to a top surface of the bottom and includes a thinned section overlying the hinge portion. During use, the hinge portion and thinned section act in concert to facilitate a natural walking and/or running motion. In this regard, the hinge portion encourages pivoting of the foot at the ball. Similarly, the thinned section is configured to buckle during a pivoting motion of the foot. Thus, the thinned section provides minimal resistance as the foot maneuvers through a running motion.
