Abstract

There is provided an insert for an article of footwear including: a compressible core; said compressible core having a top surface, a bottom surface and a peripheral surface; and a casing for surrounding said compressible core, said casing fitting snuggly adjacent said top surface and said bottom surface and being spaced from at least a portion of said peripheral surface; said casing having a first compressibility when fitting snuggly adjacent said top and bottom surfaces and a second compressibility when spaced from said peripheral surface, said second compressibility being greater than said first compressibility. So constructed, when portions of the insert is exposed along the sides of the article of footwear, the insert meets the 'thumb test' of pliability.
