First Claim
1. A shoe for a foot, comprising:
- a combination reverse wedge and sole for wear directly below the sole of a wearer'"'"'s foot, the combination having a substantially planar upper surface for directly supporting the sole of the wearer'"'"'s foot, a lower surface oppositely disposed to the upper surface and divided into a rear plane and a forward plane, the rear plane increasing in thickness forwardly from a rear peripheral edge of the shoe to a location where the rear plane and the forward plane meet, the forward plane remaining substantially constant in thickness from the location where the rear plane and the forward plane meet to a forward peripheral edge of the shoe, wherein the location where the rear plane and the forward plane meet is substantially halfway with respect to the upper surface;
an upper affixed to the upper surface of the combination.
