Anatomically fitted shoe

Abstract

A shoe may include a midsole surface located along a bottom of an interior of the shoe, the midsole surface including a peripheral area located towards a front of the shoe. A shoe may include a crescent pad located on the peripheral area of the midsole surface, the crescent pad having a width that tapers from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end. The crescent pad is shaped to conform to a sulcus of a foot of a wearer of a shoe. A shoe may include a wing support shaped to support a navicular bone of a wearer of the shoe at an apex of an arch of a foot. A shoe may include a concave shaped portion located towards a back of the shoe, the concave shaped portion contoured to fit with a calcaneus of a foot of a wearer of the shoe.

         4 . The shoe of  claim 2 , wherein a first side of the crescent pad has a first radius and a second side of the crescent pad has a second radius such that the first radius contours to a portion of the sulcus at distal phalanges of a foot of a wearer while the second radius contours to a portion of the sulcus towards proximal phalanges of a foot of a wearer. 
     
     
         5 . The shoe of  claim 2 , wherein the crescent pad extends across a width of the shoe such that the crescent pad is beneath a foot of a wearer of the shoe when the shoe is worn by the wearer between a second toe and a fifth toe of the foot of the wearer of the shoe. 
     
     
         6 . The shoe of  claim 1 , wherein the crescent pad is embedded within the midsole surface such that the crescent pad creates a bump corresponding to a shape of the crescent pad on an upper surface of the midsole surface. 
     
     
         7 . The shoe of  claim 1 , further comprising a wing support located on the midsole surface of the shoe such that the wing support is shaped to support a navicular bone of a wearer of the shoe at an apex of the arch of the foot. 
     
     
         8 . The shoe of  claim 7 , wherein the wing support extends laterally from an inner side of the midsole surface. 
     
     
         9 . The shoe of  claim 8 , wherein an outer edge of the wing support is rounded to conform to the foot of the wearer of the shoe when the shoe is worn. 
     
     
         10 . The shoe of  claim 7 , wherein the crescent pad and the wing support are integrally formed on the midsole surface. 
     
     
         11 . The shoe of  claim 1 , further comprising a metatarsal bar located on the peripheral area of the midsole surface. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe of  claim 11 , wherein the metatarsal bar has a thickness that is greater towards a front of the metatarsal bar and wherein the thickness tapers to a thinner portion at a back of the metatarsal bar. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe of  claim 11 , the metatarsal bar further comprising an extension portion located towards the front of the metatarsal bar, wherein the extension is located proximate to a first metatarsal head of a foot of a wearer of the shoe when the shoe is worn. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe of  claim 1 , wherein the shoe is one of a running shoe or a flat shoe. 
     
     
         15 . An anatomically fitted shoe comprising:
 a midsole surface located along a bottom of the shoe, the midsole surface including a peripheral area located towards a front of the shoe;   a crescent pad located on the peripheral area of the midsole surface,
 the crescent pad located across the peripheral area of the midsole surface and extending from a first longitudinal end located towards an inner side of the shoe to a second longitudinal end located towards an outer side of the shoe, 
 the crescent pad having a width that tapers from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end, wherein the crescent pad is shaped to conform to a sulcus of a foot of a wearer of a shoe, 
 the crescent pad having a thickness that tapers from a thicker portion at the first longitudinal end of the crescent pad to a thinner portion at the second longitudinal end of the crescent pad, and 
 wherein the crescent pad has a width that tapers from a wider portion at the first longitudinal end to a narrower portion at the second longitudinal end; and 
   a concave shaped portion located towards a back of the shoe, the concave shaped portion contoured to fit with a calcaneus of a foot of a wearer of the shoe.   
     
     
         16 . The shoe of  claim 15 , further comprising a wing support located along a side of the midsole surface, the wing support extending laterally from the midsole surface towards an inside of the shoe, the wing support shaped to support a navicular bone of a wearer of the shoe at an apex of an arch of a foot. 
     
     
         17 . The shoe of  claim 16 , wherein the crescent pad and the wing support are integrally formed on the midsole surface. 
     
     
         18 . An anatomically fitted shoe comprising:
 a midsole surface located along a bottom of the shoe, the midsole surface including a peripheral area located towards a front of the shoe;   a crescent pad located on the peripheral area of the midsole surface,
 the crescent pad located across the peripheral area of the midsole surface and extending from a first longitudinal end located towards an inner side of the shoe to a second longitudinal end located towards an outer side of the shoe,

 the crescent pad having a thickness that tapers from a thicker portion at the first longitudinal end of the crescent pad to a thinner portion at the second longitudinal end of the crescent pad, and 
 wherein the crescent pad has a width that tapers from a wider portion at the first longitudinal end to a narrower portion at the second longitudinal end; 
   a concave shaped portion located towards a back of the shoe, the concave shaped portion contoured to fit with a calcaneus of a foot of a wearer of the shoe; and   a metatarsal bar located on the peripheral area of the midsole surface.   
     
     
         19 . The shoe of  claim 18 , wherein the metatarsal bar has a thickness that is greater towards a front of the metatarsal bar and wherein the thickness tapers to a thinner portion at a back of the metatarsal bar. 
     
     
         20 . The shoe of  claim 19 , the metatarsal bar further comprising an extension portion located towards the front of the metatarsal bar, wherein the extension is located proximate to a first metatarsal head of a foot of a wearer of the shoe when the shoe is worn.
