 a sole; and   a vamp, which is connected to the sole and disposed on the sole, wherein the sole has a support structure and a stepped stopping structure, the support structure supports a user's weight and contacts with water on a ground, and the stopping structure stops water drops, lifted up by the support structure, from splashing toward the vamp.   
     
     
         2 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure is disposed on a front portion of the sole and stops water splashing from being caused when the sole is lifted frontwards. 
     
     
         3 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure comprises a step portion, and the step portion prevents a front portion of the sole from contacting with the ground when the support structure is in flat surface contact with the ground. 
     
     
         4 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein when viewed from a bottom of the sole and the front portion is directed upwards, the step portion has a substantial M shape to prevent the water drops from concentrating on a middle of the front portion of the sole. 
     
     
         5 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure comprises a cavity, the cavity has an inclined surface and a stopping surface, the stopping surface is disposed on a front portion of the sole, and the inclined surface is inclined toward the stopping surface in a direction away from the ground. 
     
     
         6 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein the stopping structure further comprises a horizontal surface connecting the inclined surface to the stopping surface. 
     
     
         7 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein the stopping surface is an inclined stopping surface. 
     
     
         8 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 5 , wherein the inclined surface is directly connected to the stopping surface. 
     
     
         9 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure is disposed on a rear portion of the sole and stops water splashing from being caused when the sole is lifted backwards. 
     
     
         10 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure comprises a step portion, and the step portion prevents a rear portion of the sole from contacting with the ground when the support structure is in flat surface contact with the ground. 
     
     
         11 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 10 , wherein when viewed from a bottom of the sole and the rear portion is directed upwards, the step portion has a substantial M shape to prevent the water drops from concentrating on a middle of the rear portion of the sole. 
     
     
         12 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the stopping structure comprises a cavity, the cavity has an inclined surface and a vertical stopping surface, the vertical stopping surface is disposed on a rear portion of the sole, and the inclined surface is inclined toward the vertical stopping surface in a direction away from the ground. 
     
     
         13 . The anti-splash shoe according to  claim 1 , wherein the step portion has a height difference ranging between 6 mm and 9 mm.
