Abstract

An outsole for a sports shoe which enables it to be used for a wider range of different types of ground than is possible with the known outsoles. The sole is provided with profile projections which are each formed by at least two elongated profile bodies which are close together or joined at one end and diverge towards the other end to radiate on one side only of the projection. The projections when stressed counter to the direction of divergence of the profile bodies provide increased support, but provide less support when stressed in the opposite direction. This is particularly true if the profile bodies are constructed of a springily resilient material. By appropriately arranging the profile bodies on the outsole, controlled account can be taken of the requirements in respect of safety against slipping and the sliding characteristics, of the sport shoe.
