Title:
SHOES FOR ATHLETIC SPORTS HAVING BUFFER MEMBER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5722703
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A track shoe is described having a cushion member of resilient elastomer material secured to the bottom surface of its spike plate beneath the metatarsal bones of the wearer's foot. The cushion member is positioned behind and separate from the rearmost spikes on such spike plate. Such cushion member has an average width longitudinally of the shoe greater than its thickness. The cushion member absorbs shock, helps runners stay on their toes by preventing "rock-back" onto the heel of the shoe, and aids in foot stability during landing.
