Claims12
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion,
- an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion,
- said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface,
- said friction member positioned at the great toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby internal rotation is caused at said great toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe inwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
A shoe having an upper and a sole and heel portion,
- an orthopedic friction corrective member attached to said sole portion,
- said sole portion having generally a flat outer surface,
- said friction member positioned at about the lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion to retard the movement of said shoe when said shoe engages the ground under the weight of the wearer of said shoe creating a friction surface at the point of application of said friction member whereby external rotation is caused at said lateral fifth toe side of said sole portion of said shoe turning said shoe outwardly in the direction of the position of said friction member when said friction member engages the ground.
