A shoe outsole has a heel post extending outwardly therefrom. An outer
heel cover has a hole for receiving the heel post in an assembled
position. The heel post thus acts as a convenient positioning guide for
the heel cover. A plurality of fluid-filled heel cushioning members at
least partly surrounds the heel post between the outsole and the cover in
the assembled position, for cushioning heel impacts during use of the
footwear. A plurality of dividers on the outsole extend radially of the
heel post, and position each cushioning member between a pair of the
dividers. The dividers thus act as convenient positioning guides for the
cushioning members. The cushioning members have different resistances to
compression for adjustably cushioning heel impacts during use of the
footwear.
