The sole (1A) also comprises an intermediate vaporization chamber (15) disposed between the principal vaporization chamber (6) and the distribution chamber (7) and extending adjacent the injection opening (9) of the water. Intermediate vaporization chamber (15) is a closed space delimited by a counter-partition (16) arranged between the injection opening (9) and the partition (8) and extending from the sole (1A) to the cover (2).
