  Midsole assembly for an athletic shoe - Patent 4561195
A midsole assembly for an athletic shoe in which a corrugated sheet is integrally arranged in the midsole thereof.
When shoes are used for training in many fields of athletics, they are usually subjected to repeated shocks and impacts from contact with the ground and the shock is transmitted through the foot, knee and upper body of the wearer, and to his head.
According to the present invention, it is possible to partially vary the cushioning property of the midsole 1 from the toe region 3 to the heel region 4 thereof by properly changing the pitch and the height of the corrugation of the sheet 2.

 Tips On Athletic Shoe Selection - by Dr. Stephen Pribut
The shoe should flex at the point where the toes join the foot, which also happens to be the widest part of the shoe.
Plantar Fasciitis Shoes that are too flexible in the midsole or that flex before the point at which the toes join the foot result in forces that can both directly cause a stretch in the plantar fascia and contibute to excess pronation in the foot (subtalar joint).
The lack of stability that exists in a shoe with this characteristic occurs not just at the transverse plane of the shoe where the shoe actually flexes, but also in a longitudinal plane, reducing the effectiveness of the shoe in controlling pronation.

 Comment 635 - New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc.
New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc. ("New Balance") hereby submits the following comments in response to the request by the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") for public comments on the Proposed Guides for the Use of U.S. Origin Claims.
Instead, what has led to the challenge of the "all or virtually all" standard is the increasingly difficult effort to keep and expand U.S. manufacturing facilities in the face of competition from cheap imports, and the impossibility of obtaining needed components within the United States.
The 650 manufacturing workers at New Balance's four U.S. plants are not less deserving of putting a "Made in USA" label on the shoes they make here just because economic forces completely out of their control have forced most of the domestic shoe industry and its infrastructure offshore.
