ABSTRACT:
An exemplary shoe support system is provided to facilitate a support of an ankle of a foot. The support system can include a sole inliner, a coupling, a back inliner, and an upper. The coupling allows movement between the sole inliner to the back inliner, while the upper adjustably secures the sole inliner and back inliner to the foot. The upper, the sole inliner, the coupling, and the back inliner are operable to resist lateral movement of the ankle while permitting dorsiflexion and plantar flexion movement in the foot, and can be configured for integration within a shoe or serve as the shoe. In another configuration, the support system can include a cover, which surrounds the upper, the sole inliner, the coupling, and the back inliner. Additionally, a biasing member can be incorporated with the coupling to urge a predetermined angle between the sole inliner and back inliner.
