Forefoot and arch cushion

A forefoot and arch cushion for use with a heeled shoe, the forefoot and arch cushion comprising:

• an integrally formed contoured arch support and forefoot cushion configured to support a forefoot and a longitudinal arch of a foot,
• wherein the forefoot and arch cushion comprises a medial side and a lateral side, and wherein a height of the forefoot and arch cushion increases from the lateral side to the medial side such that the forefoot and arch cushion is substantially wedged to bias cushioning underneath the medial side of the foot,
• wherein the forefoot and arch cushion is configured to bias cushioning of a 1st metatarsal head of the foot relative to one or more of a 2nd metatarsal head, a 3rd metatarsal head, a 4th metatarsal head, and a 5th metatarsal head of the foot, and
• wherein the medial side of the forefoot and arch cushion is configured to compress, such that the forefoot and arch cushion maintains an even and flat underfoot feel in use and mitigates any wedging effect on the forefoot.
