Shoe

Abstract

A shoe, which is light and capable of improving cushioning properties and a thrust force occurring upon push off without sacrificing comfort to wear, has a simple structure and can be mass-produced. The shoe is provided with: a shoe body into which a foot is inserted; a hard plate which covers a necessary area on a bottom side of the shoe body in a length direction and is fixed to the bottom side of the shoe body only at a necessary location including a position of a front foot part; and cushion materials which are attached to both end parts of a ground contact side of the hard plate in the length direction.
