Component for a shoe

A component for a shoe, intended to be interposed between a foot and the ground, said component being delimited by an upper surface which, in use, is turned towards the foot, the upper surface comprising a load-bearing region in which at least one recess is made, the at least one recess being configured to receive at least one metatarsal head of the a plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, so that in the load-bearing region a plurality of metatarsal support levels is defined, the plurality of metatarsal support levels being placed at different heights from one another and being intended to support the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, wherein said plurality of metatarsal support levels comprises five metatarsal support levels including:

• a lowest metatarsal support level;
• a further metatarsal support level,
• a third metatarsal support level,
• a fourth metatarsal support level,
• a highest metatarsal support level,
• wherein:
• the further metatarsal support level is a first metatarsal support plane configured to support a first metatarsal head of the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot;
• the lowest metatarsal support level is a second metatarsal support plane configured to support a second metatarsal head of the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, the second metatarsal support plane being adjacent to the first metatarsal support plane and distinct from the first metatarsal support plane;
• the third metatarsal support level is a third metatarsal support plane configured to support a third metatarsal head of the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, the third metatarsal support plane being adjacent to the second metatarsal support plane and distinct from the second metatarsal support plane;
• the fourth metatarsal support level is a fourth metatarsal support plane configured to support a fourth metatarsal head of the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, the fourth metatarsal support plane being adjacent to the third metatarsal support plane and distinct from the third metatarsal support plane;
• the highest metatarsal support level is a fifth metatarsal support plane configured to support a fifth metatarsal head of the plurality of metatarsal heads of the foot, the fifth metatarsal support plane being adjacent to the fourth metatarsal support plane and distinct from the fourth metatarsal support plane.
