Abstract
A foot or fifth toe support for any shoe but primarily for running and jogging shoes, consisting of a flat, flexible and resilient member located below the fifth proximal phalanx from the metatarsal-phalanx joint to the proximal phalanx neck. This support lies independently on the upper surface of a conventional shoe sole or it may be an extension of a semi-rigid orthotic device contoured and dimensioned to cradle the sole and heel to a line across the foot near the distal ends of the metatarsal bones.
