         3 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ball rocker spacing is an average of at least 2 mm, preferably at least 3 mm, more preferably at least 5 mm, or at least 0.5%, preferably at least 1%, more preferably at least 1.5% of the length of a sole. 
     
     
         4 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the ball rocker ( 38 ) runs at least in sections along a predetermined diagonal in relation to a longitudinal central axis ( 40 ), following in particular, the course of the balls.

         6 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized by a midsole ( 16 ), in particular made of ethylene vinyl acetate and/or polyurethane, wherein a midsole ball rocker ( 22 ) of the midsole ( 16 ) is disposed at a predetermined midsole ball rocker spacing behind the ball line ( 37 ). 
     
     
         7 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized by a pronation support ( 21 ) in a region of the arch of the foot ( 23 ). 
     
     
         8 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized by at least one forefoot cushioning element ( 20 ) within a forefoot region ( 25 ) and/or at least one heel cushioning element ( 18 ) in a tarsal zone ( 28 ) and/or at least one torsion stabilizer ( 17 ) in a metatarsal zone ( 29 ). 
     
     
         9 . The sole ( 10 ) according to  claim 1 , characterized by a heel bevel ( 44 ), wherein one of the border lines ( 43 ) of the heel bevel which is lying nearest to the forefoot region, is displaced rearwards at its inner end.
