Stability sole assembly for footwear

A footwear construction configured to reduce a rate of pronation of a user, the footwear construction comprising:

• an upper;
• a midsole body joined with the upper, the midsole body extending longitudinally from a heel region, through an arch region to a forefoot region, the midsole body including a longitudinal axis disposed between a lateral side and a medial side, the midsole body defining a midsole body recess that extends from the lateral side to the medial side;
• a stability platform extending within the midsole body recess from the heel region toward the arch region, the stability platform having a lateral wing disposed in the midsole body recess on the lateral side, and a medial wing extending in the midsole body recess on the medial side, the stability platform including a transition portion joining the lateral wing and the medial wing across the longitudinal axis;
• and
• a stability frame having an upwardly arching shape joined with the stability platform and joined with the midsole body, the stability frame extending within the heel region and the arch region, the stability frame at least partially sandwiched between the stability platform and the midsole body;
• wherein the stability frame includes a first flange that transitions to a second flange that is transverse to the first flange;
• wherein the second flange extends inwardly toward the longitudinal axis and terminates on the medial side of the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the second flange is sandwiched between the midsole body and the medial wing;
• and
• wherein the first flange includes an interior surface joined with the midsole body and an exterior surface extending upwardly above the medial wing and is exposed to a viewer of the medial side of the midsole body,
• whereby the stability frame and the stability platform on the medial side are operatively configured to reduce a rate of pronation of a user of the footwear construction during a gait cycle of the user.

• and
• a stability frame disposed entirely on the medial side of the longitudinal axis, the stability frame joined with the stability platform and joined with the midsole body only on the medial side of the longitudinal axis, the stability frame extending within the heel region, the stability frame comprising a flange at least partially sandwiched between the stability platform and the midsole body, the flange extending inwardly toward the longitudinal axis and terminating on the medial side of the longitudinal axis,
