Abstract
An article of footwear includes a sole structure and an upper. The sole structure includes a zoned plate with stability areas and flexure areas. The sole structure may further include a two-part midsole including a low recovery foam and a high recovery foam. In another embodiment, the sole structure includes reinforcing plate placed at a selected location between the zoned plate and a midsole. With this configuration, the sole structure encourages proper foot placement along the sole structure during a golf swing, thereby increasing shoe contact time with the ground and/or golf swing mechanics.
