Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a shoe sole including an outsole, a midsole is positioned on the outsole, and an insole positioned on the midsole. A foot surround is attached to and extends upwardly from the shoe sole. The foot surround includes an upper and a heal counter. The midsole has an upper surface, a lower surface, a front end, and a rear end. The midsole facilitates flexion in a first direction allowing the upper surface to become concavely arcuate along a line extending from the front end to the rear end and resists flexion in a second direction to prevent the upper surface from becoming convexly arcuate along a line extending from the front end to the rear end.
