Abstract
A shoe basically includes an upper and a sole. The sole is attached to the upper. The sole includes an outsole and a first midsole. The first midsole has a fore part, a first heel part, a second heel part and a boundary part. The first heel part is at least partly disposed along a longitudinal centerline of the shoe and configured to support a center part of a heel. The second heel part is disposed laterally outward of the longitudinal centerline of the shoe and configured to support an outer part of the heel. The boundary part is provided between the first heel part and the second heel part such that the first heel part and the second heel part are movable relative to one another.

A shoe comprising:
- an upper;

- a sole attached to the upper, the sole including an outsole and a first midsole, the first midsole having
- a fore part,
- a first heel part at least partly disposed along a longitudinal centerline of the shoe and configured to support a center part of a heel,
- a second heel part disposed laterally outward of the longitudinal centerline of the shoe and configured to support an outer part of the heel, and
- a boundary part includes a slit disposed between the first heel part and the second heel part such that the first heel part and the second heel part are movable relative to one another, the second heel part extending from the boundary part towards a peripheral edge of the sole as a planar surface, the boundary part having a first end and a second end, the first end extending closer to the fore part than the second end extends to the fore part.
A shoe comprising:
- an upper;
- and
- a sole attached to the upper, the sole including an outsole and a first midsole, the first midsole at least overlying from a mid part of the outsole to a heel part of the outsole, the first midsole having
- a fore part,
- a first heel part connected to the fore part, and
- a second heel part connected to the fore part, and
- a boundary part includes a slit disposed between the first heel part and the second heel part, the boundary part having a first end and a second end, the first end extending closer to the fore part than the second end extends to the fore part,
- the first heel part being more rigid than the second heel part, the second heel part extending from the boundary part towards a peripheral edge of the sole as a planar surface.
