Sole for footwear, curved into the overall shape of a foot or intended to be adapted to the particular shape of a foot, of the type comprising a surface essentially corresponding to that of the bottom of the item of footwear and capable of being fitted with at least one of localized support and shock-absorbing elements, the sole comprising:
- a strengthener in the form of a closed loop which surrounds a zone on which the heel rests and is extended forward in the form of two branches extending along two edges of the sole at least as far as a zone of first and fifth metatarsal heads, wherein the strengthener is made from an elongate single piece bent to form a loop and having ends which form two longitudinal branches after crossing in a crossing zone located forward of the heel.
