Abstract

An athletic shoe sole and a method of making the same which includes a pre-formed structure (20) having a plurality of dividers (22) that define a plurality of cells (24), the cells having therein an expanded, resilient material (40) such that the re­ silient material and therefore the sole has a varied hardness, the hardness being greater in zones (42) closer to the dividers than the hardness of zones (44) removed from the dividers. The pre­ formed size and shape of the cells may vary throughout the ex­ tent of the sole, resulting in a gradually-varying average hard­ ness. At least part of the compression properties may result from the mechanical properties of the dividers (22) them­ selves.
