Gait modification apparatuses, systems and methods

A gait modification apparatus, comprising:

• a sculpted sole configured for use on an underside of a shoe, the sculpted sole comprising a plantar projection that projects downwardly from the underside of the shoe, the plantar projection comprising a bottom side that comprises:
• a planar ground engagement surface that extends from a hindfoot portion of the sculpted sole to into a forefoot portion of the sculpted sole;
• and
• a plurality of upwardly inclined relief surfaces that extend upwardly as the plurality of upwardly inclined relief surfaces extend contiguously from end edges of the planar ground engagement surface toward a periphery of the sculpted sole, the plurality of upwardly inclined relief surfaces comprising:
• a posterior relief surface portion extending upwardly from a rear edge end of the planar ground engagement surface as the posterior relief surface portion extends rearwardly from the rear edge end toward a rear portion of the periphery of the sculpted sole;
• a medial relief surface portion extending upwardly from an inner side edge end of the planar ground engagement surface as the medial relief surface portion extends from the inner side edge end toward an inner side portion of the periphery of the sculpted sole;
• a planar lateral relief surface that is inclined upwardly and forwardly as the planar lateral relief surface extends from a first portion of a front edge end of the planar ground engagement surface toward an outer front portion of the periphery of the sculpted sole;
• and
• a planar anterior relief surface that is inclined upwardly and forwardly as the planar anterior relief surface extends from a second portion of the front edge end of the planar ground engagement surface toward an inner front portion of the periphery of the sculpted sole.
