FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the footwear sole also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 2 is an anterior (front) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 3 is a posterior (rear) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 4 is a lateral view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 5 is a medial view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 6 is a top view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 7 is a bottom view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1;

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 8-8 shown in FIG. 6 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 9-9 shown in FIG. 6 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 1 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 10-10 shown in FIG. 6;

FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the design of the footwear sole also showing the surface pattern. The claim of the footwear sole shown in FIG. 11 is the same in scope and structure as the footwear sole shown in FIGS. 1-10 except that the claimed design of FIG. 11 differs from the claimed design of FIGS. 1-10 in that the unclaimed edges shown in broken line in FIG. 11 are claimed in FIGS. 1-10;

FIG. 12 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the footwear sole also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 13 is an anterior (front) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 14 is a posterior (rear) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 15 is a lateral view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 16 is a medial view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 17 is a top view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 18 is a bottom view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12;

FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 19-19 shown in FIG. 17 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 20-20 shown in FIG. 17 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 12 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 21-21 shown in FIG. 17;

FIG. 22 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of the design of the footwear sole also showing the surface pattern. The claim of the footwear sole shown in FIG. 22 is the same in scope and structure as the footwear sole shown in FIGS. 12-21 except that the claimed design of FIG. 22 differs from the claimed design of FIGS. 12-21 in that the unclaimed edges shown in broken line in FIG. 22 are claimed in FIGS. 12-21;

FIG. 23 is perspective view of the footwear sole of the first embodiment shown with alternate environmental structure and also showing the surface pattern. The footwear sole of FIG. 23 is fitted with a different upper than the footwear sole of FIG. 1. As a result, certain views of the footwear sole of FIGS. 23-32 are different from the corresponding views of the footwear sole of FIGS. 1-11 because certain features of the footwear sole that can be seen in FIGS. 1-11 are obscured from view by the presence of the upper of FIG. 23 when viewed in FIGS. 23-32 (e.g. among others in the top view of FIG. 28);

FIG. 24 is an anterior (front) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 25 is a posterior (rear) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 26 is a lateral view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 27 is a medial view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 28 is a top view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 29 is a bottom view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23;

FIG. 30 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 30-30 shown in FIG. 28 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 31-31 shown in FIG. 28 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 32 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 23 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 32-32 shown in FIG. 28;

FIG. 33 is perspective view of the footwear sole of the third embodiment shown with alternate environmental structure and also showing the surface pattern. The footwear sole of FIG. 33 is fitted with a different upper than the footwear sole of FIG. 12. As a result, certain views of the footwear sole of FIGS. 33-42 are different from the corresponding views of the footwear sole of FIGS. 12-22 because certain features of the footwear sole that can be seen in FIGS. 12-22 are obscured from view by the presence of the upper of FIG. 33 when viewed in FIGS. 33-42 (e.g. among others in the top view of FIG. 38);

FIG. 34 is an anterior (front) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 35 is a posterior (rear) view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 36 is a lateral view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 37 is a medial view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 38 is a top view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 39 is a bottom view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33;

FIG. 40 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 40-40 shown in FIG. 38 and also showing the surface pattern;

FIG. 41 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 41-41 shown in FIG. 38 and also showing the surface pattern; and,

FIG. 42 is a cross-sectional view of the footwear sole of FIG. 33 taken in the direction of the arrows along the line 42-42 shown in FIG. 38.

In FIGS. 1-42, the consistent-length broken lines depict unclaimed environmental structure as well as unclaimed portions of the footwear sole in FIGS. 11 and 22. The alternating-length broken lines seen in FIGS. 8-10, 19-21, 30-32, and 40-42 depict the boundaries of the claimed design. The broken lines and structures they depict form no part of the claimed design. The embodiments of the footwear sole shown in FIGS. 1-42 are for a left foot. Embodiments of the footwear sole for a right foot are mirror images of the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1-42 about a sagittal plane of a human body.
