The sole, used previously in Nike running as well as football shoes, functions by cushioning the foot when it makes contact with the ground.
Stilettos are the most painful kind of shoe to wear due to their thin yet high heels. This makes the wearer 'veer forward', placing more pressure on the soles of the feet.
This makes women's muscles ache and renders their feet more prone to blisters.
