Abstract: A sole for the foot of an animal, where the sole is constructed such that during use it maintains a stable and unchanged position between the foot and the sole independent of the surface and independent of whether the foot is loaded during the down step or unloaded during the up step, and furthermore where the sole, when in use, forms a natural and dynamic bio-mechanical anatomical chamber which takes up frictional forces that arise between sole and foot in a self-adjusting way in relation to the forces that are applied. The sole has damping and energy control of forces caused by internal and external influencing factors, i.e., the animal's foot and the surface on which the sole is used, respectively.
