Abstract

A shoe includes an outsole including a ground contact surface, a midsole fixed onto the outsole, and an upper portion joined to the midsole along a circumferential edge of the midsole. The midsole includes a bulging part at a position corresponding to a medial side of a rearfoot portion. The bulging part has a bulge length that is measured, in a top view, as a horizontal distance from a joint part between the upper portion and the midsole to an outer edge of the ground contact surface. The bulge length is longer than a horizontal length from the joint part between the upper portion and the midsole to an outer edge of the midsole at the rearmost end.

         10 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein a hardness of the bulging part is higher than a hardness of a portion other than the bulging part in the midsole. 
     
     
         11 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the bulging part is formed from a joining surface of the midsole and the outsole to a midway point in a height direction of the midsole. 
     
     
         12 . The shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein the bulging part is formed from a joining surface of the midsole and the outsole to a midway point in a height direction of the midsole. 
     
     
         13 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein a side surface on the medial side of the bulging part has a shape that extends away from the joint part toward the ground contact surface. 
     
     
         14 . The shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein a side surface on the medial side of the bulging part has a shape that extends away from the joint part toward the ground contact surface. 
     
     
         15 . The shoe according to  claim 4 , wherein a side surface on the medial side of the bulging part has a shape that extends away from the joint part toward the ground contact surface. 
     
     
         16 . The shoe according to  claim 2 , wherein the bulging part is formed only in the medial side of the rearfoot portion. 
     
     
         17 . The shoe according to  claim 3 , wherein the bulging part is formed only in the medial side of the rearfoot portion. 
     
     
         18 . The shoe according to  claim 4 , wherein the bulging part is formed only in the medial side of the rearfoot portion.
