Abstract:
A shoe includes a midsole, an outsole, and an upper section. The upper section includes a top cap section, a vamp section, a quarter section, and a metatarsal-phalange joint flex area. The toe cap section covers a toe area of the shoe and is constructed of a first material. The vamp section covers a portion of a midfoot area of the shoe and is constructed of the first material or a second material. The quarter section provides a rear portion of the upper section and is constructed of the first material, the second material, and/or a third material. The metatarsal-phalange joint flex area covers a metatarsal-phalange joint section of the shoe and is constructed of a fourth material. The fourth material is more flexible than both of the first and second materials.
