Shoe with lateral support member

A shoe comprising:

• a sole having an outsole and a midsole with at least a portion of the midsole overlying at least a portion of the outsole, the outsole having top and bottom surfaces;
• an upper secured to the sole;
• and
• a support member having a transverse portion and an upstanding portion extending up from the transverse portion, the transverse portion being positioned generally between the midsole and outsole and extending laterally relative to the midsole from a first side of the midsole toward an opposite second side of the midsole, the upstanding portion extending up from the transverse portion adjacent the first side of the midsole and overlapping a portion of the upper, the transverse portion being adapted so that an inner section of the transverse portion is moveable between an up position spaced a first vertical distance from the bottom surface of the outsole and a down position spaced a second vertical distance from the bottom surface of the outsole, the second vertical distance being shorter than the first vertical distance, the upstanding portion having a top section moveable between an out position spaced a first lateral distance from the second side of the midsole and an in position spaced a second lateral distance from the second side of the midsole, the second lateral distance being shorter than the first lateral distance, the transverse portion and the upstanding portion being configured so that movement of the inner section of the transverse portion from its up position to its down position induces movement of the top section of the upstanding portion from its out position to its in position to thereby provide lateral support to a wearer's foot, the inner section of the transverse portion being spaced laterally from the upstanding portion, the transverse Portion including a ramped section between the upstanding portion and the inner section, the ramped section inclining upwardly toward the inner section.
