An article of footwear is provided and includes a sole including a longitudinal axis and a lateral support member, a medial support member and a front support member that are independent from each other and combine to form a triangular contact region on a bottom surface of the sole, where the lateral support member has a front end and a rear end the medial support member has a front end and a rear end, and the lateral support member and the medial support member are entirely spaced apart from each other across the longitudinal axis of the sole.

A sole structure for an article of footwear comprises a midsole body having a proximal surface and a distal surface. Proprioceptive elements may extend in holes in the midsole body. The midsole body has an interior portion having a first density and an outer skin covering the interior portion. The outer skin has a second density that is greater than the first density, extends along each of the holes from the proximal surface to the distal surface, and forms a cylinder around each of the perforated holes. The midsole body has a greater compressive stiffness under loading along each central axis than under loading transverse or oblique to each central axis. A first set of proprioceptive elements have a third density different from a fourth density of a second set.

A running shoe includes a sole, an upper connected to the sole, a foot cavity defined at least in part with the upper, insulation incorporated into the upper adjacent to the foot cavity, and a waterproof fabric distally located with respect to the insulation and forming a protective exterior of the upper.

A shoe includes a sole, an upper, and a welt. The sole and upper define a seam. The welt overlies the seam. The sole includes flex grooves. The upper includes perforations. The welt includes flex slits.

Embodiments are directed toward footwear. The footwear includes an upper and an outsole that has a hindfoot region, a midfoot region, and a forefoot region. In some embodiments, the hindfoot region or the midfoot region has first raised portions that extend along the top side of the outsole in a first pattern. In some embodiments, the first raised portions are configured to provide the hindfoot region or the midfoot region with a first amount of vertical flexibility. In some embodiments, the forefoot region has second raised portions that extend along the top side of the outsole in a second pattern that is different than the first pattern. In some embodiments, the second raised portions are configured to provide the forefoot region with a second amount of vertical flexibility that is greater than the first amount of vertical flexibility.

An article of footwear has a sole structure with multiple components. The sole structure includes a midsole member, an outsole member and an exterior support member. The midsole member and the outsole member have corresponding grooves. The exterior support member provides reinforcement for the midsole member. The outsole member includes a plurality of bristle members.

A high jumping shoe may include a sole structure that includes a base plate and a rim attached to the base plate on a lower surface. Portions of the rim may extend into and fill openings in the base plate. Traction element receptacles may be embedded in those rim portions. The rim and base plate may be formed different materials. The shoe may further include one or more reinforcing straps on a medial side.
