A shoe includes a sole for cushioning a heelstrike. The sole includes a
midsole, an optional outsole, and a resilient cushioning device. The
resilient cushioning device includes a bottom component, a top component
sealingly attached to the bottom component, wherein the top component
includes a corrugated sidewall. The resilient cushioning device is a
closed system that contains a fluid, such as a gas either at atmospheric
pressure or pressurized. The resilient cushioning device may have only
one interior compartment or a series of compartments fluidly connected to
one another. The resilient cushioning device is partially embedded within
the midsole in a heel region of the sole, although at least a portion of
the sidewall of the resilient cushioning device remains visible from the
exterior of a shoe sole.
