Patent Abstract
A shoe having a adjustable cushion
sole with fluid bladders disposed therein. Each fluid bladders has an associated
pressure sensing device which measures the pressure exerted by the user's
foot on the fluid bladder. As the pressure increases over a threshold,
a control system partially opens a fluid valve to allow fluid to escape
from the fluid bladder. The release of fluid from the fluid bladders reduces
the impact of the user's foot with the traveling surface.
