A shoe provides a suspended orthotic system that includes at least a
contoured, three-dimensional chassis configured with a heel cup. The
chassis provides the primary support and determines the shape and form of
the shoe. The chassis receives a footbed, which includes a first material
integrally formed with a second material, both materials operating to
provide an orthotic benefit. A shoe sole includes a number of pods that
are selectively arranged and coupled to the chassis to actively suspend
the chassis and the footbed. The shoe can further include a dynamic arch
support system that manually or automatically adjusts the arch region of
the shoe. The shoe may be more comfortable, provide biomechanical
advantages, be lighter, and be more stylish than traditional shoes.
