An article of footwear is disclosed having an upper, a foot-supporting member,
and a sole structure. The foot-supporting member includes a heel region located
at a greater elevation than a forefoot region, thereby defining a recess under
the heel region. The sole structure includes a midsole that forms a protrusion
on the interior of the footwear. The protrusion mates with the recess to provide
support for the heel region. The foot-supporting member may also incorporate pronation
control characteristics, including a downward cant from a medial to a lateral side
of the foot-supporting member and a region of reduced support generally underlying
the first metatarsal. To further reduce the rate of pronation, the sole structure
includes a region in the rear-lateral corner that is more compressible than other
areas of the sole structure.
