Claim 5:

wherein a height of the curve is adjustable by a relative movement between a first portion of the arch portion and a second portion of the arch portion to increase or decrease the height of the arch portion,
wherein the footbed comprises an elongated element,
a first end of the elongated element being coupled to an anchor point at the first portion,
a segment of the elongated element extending beneath the arch portion, and a second end of the elongated element extending through a channel having a channel opening at the second portion, wherein a pulling force applied to the second end of the elongated element against the anchor point brings the first portion of the arch portion and the second portion of the arch portion closer to one another, and

wherein the second end of the elongated element is threaded through the article of footwear to a point where it can be accessed by a user to cause the relative movement between the first portion of the arch portion and the second portion of the arch portion such that the user can adjust the arch portion without removing the article of footwear.
