15. The footbed system of claim 11 , wherein the heel pad has a substantially tri-oval shape.

16. The footbed system of claim 11 , wherein the midsole mechanism comprises a flexible elongated pad.

17. The footbed system of claim 14 , further comprising an outsole mechanism positioned under the midsole mechanism, wherein the outsole mechanism comprises an opening for exposing said arcuate gait line groove in the midsole mechanism, and wherein said opening terminates prior to an edge of said outsole mechanism.

18. The footbed of claim 17 , wherein:

at least a portion of the outsole mechanism comprises harder material relative to at least a portion of the midsole mechanism in the area of the arcuate gait line groove where at least a portion of the midsole mechanism is exposed.

19. The footbed of claim 18 , wherein the density of at least a portion of the midsole mechanism is less relative to the at least a portion of the outsole mechanism where the outsole mechanism is not layered to the midsole mechanism.

20. The footbed system of claim 11 , wherein at least a portion of the forefoot pad is exposed through an opening in the footbed insole between the toe area and the arch area.

21. A footbed system for footwear, the footbed system comprising:

a sole portion;

an arcuate gait line grove in the sole portion of the footbed system, wherein the gait line groove extends from a lateral side of a heel area of the footwear toward a medial side of the heel area and back toward the lateral side of the heel area proximate an arch area of the footwear, wherein the gait line groove further extends along the lateral side of the arch area toward the medial side of a toe area of the footwear, and wherein a curvature of the arcuate gait line groove changes from convex in reference to the lateral side of the sole portion to concave in reference to the lateral side of the sole portion in a forefoot area located forward of the thinnest width of the sole portion lengthwise.
