The heel section has a first height along a rear edge of the sole from an inner edge to an outer edge and has a first slope from the rear edge to an abutment with the angled support platform. The angled support platform has a first angle along the outer edge from the heel section to a front edge of the sole, a second angle along a front edge to the toe section, and a third angle along the inner edge from the heel section to the toe section, wherein the first angle is less than the third angle. The toe area section has a surface for supporting an inner ball of foot and/or a big toe.
