Abstract: In general, one or more aspects of the disclosure relates to an athletic shoe comprising an upper and a sole. The sole further comprises an upper midsole, a lower midsole and a plate disposed between the upper midsole and the lower midsole. The plate comprises a toe region having a planar shape. The toe region is encapsulated between the upper midsole and the lower midsole. The plate additionally comprises a heel region having a contoured incurvature. The heel region protrudes externally from between the upper midsole and the lower midsole to form a sidewall that encompasses a heel region of the upper midsole. The unique combination of the two shapes of the plate provides comfort and stability as well as enhanced energy return in the heel with less force upon the heel of the wearer and with the sidewalls provides stability and then the planar forefoot shape placed between the two midsoles offers propulsion, at the metatarsal flex and toe area during the gait cycle.

Abstract: Tissue contact information indicating degrees of tissue contact between various transducers of a transducer-based device and a tissue surface may be received. A group of at least some of such transducers may be machine-selected as having each transducer in the group meeting or exceeding a threshold degree of tissue contact as indicated by an analysis of the tissue contact information. User input may be received that indicates one or more transducers to be added to or removed from the machine-selected group of transducers, resulting in a modified selected set of one or more transducers. The modified selected set of one or more transducers may then be activated.
