A shoe for enhancing human physical performance by establishing an
electrical conduit between the body and the ground includes a shoe
outsole formed of a conductive rubber material. A resilient conductive
element is integral with the outsole and extends along a heel of the shoe
upper along its outer surface. The tape extends into the interior of the
shoe and contacts a conductive sock liner. Thus the foot is in constant
electrical connection with the outsole. A conductive sock may be employed
to provide a more reliable electrical path to the sock liner and thereby
to the ground.
