A device and method is provided for an insert and shoe systems that includes systems where a custom insert attaches to a high heel shoe comprising a material having various densities arranged in an aesthetically pleasing manner providing support to multiple areas of the foot. The insert and shoe may include an auxiliary support area covered by a thin material and located around the back heel portion and above the toe area.

A sole structure includes a midsole component including a midsole body, a plurality of traction members, and a securing layer. The midsole body defines an outer midsole surface and an inner midsole surface opposite the outsole midsole surface. The traction members are coupled to the midsole body. Each of the traction members includes a base and a traction body protruding from the base away from the inner midsole surface. The traction body extends through the midsole body, and the base abuts the inner midsole surface. As such, that the traction members are movable relative to the midsole body. The securing layer is disposed over the base, and is coupled to the inner midsole surface to hold the plurality of traction members in contact with the midsole component.

A padded foot support with a ball of foot depression is a shoe insole designed to alleviate pressure from the second and third metatarsals of a foot by redistributing pressure to the first, fourth and fifth metatarsals. A forefoot depression traverses into the top surface of a pad body made of an elastically compressible material in the second and third metatarsal region, slightly forward and inside of center on the forefoot portion of the pad body.

A shoe insert assembly includes a panel that is selectively positioned in a shoe. The panel has an opening therein and the opening is aligned with a heel when the shoe is worn thereby facilitating pressure to be relieved from the heel. A cushion is positioned within the panel and the cushion absorbs pressure exerted by a foot onto the shoe thereby enhancing comfort of the shoe. A pad is coupled to the panel and the pad is aligned with an arch in the foot when the shoe is worn thereby enhancing comfort of the shoe.

An article of footwear may include a sole structure fixedly attached to an upper defining an internal cavity configured to receive a foot of a wearer. The sole structure may include an exposed outer member configured to contact the ground, the exposed outer member including a first aperture, and a sensory feedback member disposed at least partially within the first aperture in the outer member, the sensory feedback member including a first end and a second end. The first end of the sensory feedback member may include a projection extending through the first aperture and configured to contact the ground. In addition, the second end of the sensory feedback member may include a plurality of flexible bristles extending through a portion of the sole structure and exposed to the internal cavity.

An support insole includes a middle medium sandwiched between flexible upper and lower layers, wherein upper layer has a forefoot region with a metatarse protrusion that projects upward from an upper surface of the upper layer to a certain height, a midfoot region with inner and outer arch sides, wherein the inner arch side has an inner arch protrusion that projects upwardly from the upper surface to a certain height and wherein the outer arch side has a plurality of outer arch protrusions that project upwardly from the upper surface to a certain height, a hindfoot region with a heel support protrusion that projects upwardly from the upper surface to a certain height, wherein the top face is dented inwardly so as to form a concave recess such that the support insole is ergonomically designed to provide comfort for a wearer.

A plurality of orthotic systems are provided. One bi-layer system is constructed from a single sheet of fabric that is molded into two layers. One tri-layer system includes a base layer; a mid-layer; and an upper layer. The upper layer is joined to the mid-layer and the mid-layer is joined to the base layer. The coupling of the base layer, the mid-layer and the upper layer create a rear spring section, a mid-spring section and a front spring section in which the upper layer is suspended over the mid-layer and the heel portion is suspended on the proximal heel end of the base layer.

A sole structure for an article of footwear includes a first midsole body and a second midsole body. The first midsole body defines a ground-facing surface and a foot-facing surface opposite the ground-facing surface and includes a first midsole material, which has a first hardness. The second midsole body extends through the first midsole body. As such, the second midsole body extends beyond the ground-facing surface of the first midsole body. The second midsole body includes a second midsole material, which has a second hardness, and the first hardness is greater than the second hardness.

An article of footwear includes an upper member and a sole structure, with a sensor system connected to the sole structure. The sensor system includes a plurality of sensors that are configured for detecting forces exerted by a user's foot on the sensor. The sensor system also includes a port that is configured to receive a module to place the module in communication with the sensors. The port includes a housing with a chamber configured to receive the module and an interface engaged with the housing and having at least one electrical contact exposed to the chamber. Additional retaining structure and interface structure may be included.
