An object of the present invention is to provide a shoe having excellent comfort. The present invention provides a shoe including an upper material that is partially or fully formed of a fiber sheet, wherein the fiber sheet exhibits specific tensile characteristics at least in one direction.

Shoe

The present invention relates to a knitted fabric which can be produced at low cost and can exhibit a stable color effect, and a method of knitting such a fabric. A warp-knitted fabric () consists of a base () and ridge portions () formed along a knitting direction, each ridge portion () is composed of a top portion () and two side wall portions () respectively formed at both sides of the top portion (), and the top portion () and the side wall portions () are respectively formed by chain-stitch rows formed by knitting yarns having different colors from one another. The warp-knitted fabric () exhibits a color effect such that the color thereof visually recognized by an observer who looks at the warp-knitted fabric () from a direction intersecting the knitting direction is changed in accordance with the position of the observer.

Knitted fabric and method for knitting same

A laminated body that exhibits heat resistance, chemical resistance, good interfacial adhesion, good varnish-impregnation and also has a three-dimensional formability and results in low variability in the shapes of the products in a forming process and an excellent forming process yield. The laminated body includes a thermoplastic resin sheet layer having a heat of crystallization of 10 J/g or more and a wet-laid nonwoven layer including polyphenylene sulfide fibers and having a heat of crystallization of 10 J/g or more, the wet-laid nonwoven layer being stacked on at least one surface of the thermoplastic resin sheet layer without an adhesive therebetween.

A toner cleaning sheet includes at least one type of fiber selected from among different thermoplastic fibers formed of thermoplastic resin with a melting point of 265&#xb0; C. or more and at least one type of fiber selected from among different cellulose fibers, wherein at least part of the aforementioned thermoplastic fiber is fusion-bonded to neighboring thermoplastic fiber filaments. The toner cleaning sheet can be produced by a method that includes at least one type of fiber selected from among different thermoplastic fibers formed of thermoplastic resin with a melting point of 265&#xb0; C. or more and at least one type of fiber selected from among different cellulose fibers, the method including a bonding step in which at least part of the aforementioned thermoplastic fiber is fusion-bonded to neighboring thermoplastic fiber filaments.

A nonwoven fabric suitable for electrical insulation or as a battery separator is provided. The nonwoven fabric includes a PPS fiber, the nonwoven fabric being obtainable by a process for papermaking and having a front surface with a water contact angle greater than that of a back surface of the nonwoven fabric by 5&#xb0; or more. A suitable method for producing the nonwoven fabric includes dispersing an undrawn polyphenylene sulfide fiber in water, depositing the fiber to form paper, and performing heat and pressure treatment with a calender having two rolls with surface temperatures different by 10&#xb0; C. or more.
