Abstract
The present invention is directed to a sandal with a sole. The sole has an upper surface and an opposite lower surface. The upper surface is formed from objects, such as hemispheres and/or spheres that each has a curved surface forming at least a portion of the upper surface. The lower surface is also formed from objects, which may be the same as those that form the upper surface. Additionally, the sole is formed with voids extending from the upper surface to the lower surface. The voids are defined, in part, by the objects near the upper surface and the objects near the lower surface.
