Abstract

Flexible material is placed inside the shoe sole below the toes of the foot above or in line with the midsole so that the wearer's toes rest along the flexible material when the wearer's foot is placed in the shoe. The flexible material also extends to the area at the base of the big toe and behind the ball of the foot behind the big toe under the first metatarso-phalangeal joint base of the big toe. All five toes as well as the ball of the foot rest on the flexible material and this material permits the toes to curl downward when walking. The flexible material can be any type of gel, deformable liquid or gel containing pack, polyurethane gel, silicone, soft rubber, foam, memory soft material, neoprene, polyvinyl, polyethylene, polyurethane and any type of natural or synthetic soft flexible material to simulate walking on sand.
