The projections can each comprise an exterior protrusion extending from the exterior surface of the padding element and disposed within one of the openings in the rigid cage. The projections can each comprise an interior protrusion extending from an interior surface of the padding element. In some embodiments, the size and shape of the interior and/or exterior protrusions can be based on data from a foot scan map.
