The forward portion of the outsole can have five discrete toe traction zones each being configured to be positioned below a respective one of a person'"'"'s toes. The toe box region can be sufficiently wide to allow a wearer'"'"'s toes to have a full anatomical range of motion in medial and lateral directions.
