• a sole provided with a heel portion, an arch portion and a forefoot portion;
• an outer absorption member positioned in the heel portion of the sole of the footwear, the outer absorption member having an upper side, a lower side and an outer surface defining a chamber retaining a fluid, the outer surface of the outer absorption member having an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side;
• an inner absorption member having an upper side, a lower side and an outer surface defining a chamber retaining a fluid, the outer surface of the inner absorption member having an outer peripheral side, an inner peripheral side defining an opening adjacent the inner peripheral side such that the opening extends from the upper to the lower side of the inner absorption member, and wherein the outer peripheral side of the inner absorption member is coupled adjacent the inner peripheral side of the outer absorption member;
• and
• an central absorption member constructed of a shock absorbing material having an upper portion extending substantially about the upper sides of the inner and outer absorption members, the central absorption member having a central portion extending from an upper side of the heel portion of the sole to a lower side of the heel portion of the sole through the opening adjacent the inner peripheral side of the inner absorption member.
