ABSTRACT:
A unique shoe is provided to improve a walker's power, posture and speed, such shoe combining the advantages of a forwardly-inclined heel with the advantages of an arcuately tapered toe. The shoe includes an upper which carries the wearer's foot, and a sole which supports the foot from below. The sole is formed with two portions, a generally wedge-shaped rear portion which extends from an area beneath the wearer's heel to an area beneath the ball of the wearer's foot, and an arcuate forward portion which extends forwardly from the area beneath the ball of the wearer's foot to the forward terminus of the shoe. The rear portion increases linearly in thickness in the forward direction, the sole's overall thickness being correspondingly increased. The forward portion is of forwardly decreasing thickness, the sole tapering arcuately to forward termination of the shoe.
