ABSTRACT:
A shoe construction is described for improving the posture of the wearer, as well as reducing the wear on the rearward edge of the heel, without substantially changing the exterior appearance from conventional shoes. This is accomplished by hollowing out a portion of the top of the sole portion, particularly in the heel region, so that the sole of the wearer is inclined upwardly toward the toe portion of the sole at an angle of about 2.degree.-10.degree.. The shoe upper is substantially conventional; however, to comfortably accommodate the ankle of the wearer, due to the lowered heel, the rearward edge of the shoe upper is lowered an equivalent amount. The development is illustrated for shoes having a separate heel portion as well as for wedge-type shoes.
