A shoe sole includes a sole body, and a reinforcing structure portion made up of a first reinforcing member and a second reinforcing member that are made of different members from each other. The first reinforcing member includes a first bar, and the second reinforcing member includes a second bar. The first bar is located on a medial foot side from the second bar. A portion of the first bar disposed in a midfoot portion extends along an oblique direction crossing both a front-rear direction and a left-right direction, and a portion of the second bar disposed in the midfoot portion extends crossing the left-right direction. The portion of the first bar disposed in the midfoot portion and the portion of the second bar disposed in the midfoot portion are located at least in part with a distance therebetween.

Shoe sole and shoe

A sole includes: a midsole located to continuously extend from a forefoot portion to a rearfoot portion; and a reinforcing member formed of a material higher in rigidity than a material forming the midsole and disposed on a bottom surface of the midsole. The reinforcing member includes: a first bar located to extend at least in the forefoot portion and the midfoot portion and extending along a lateral foot-side end portion of the midsole; and a second bar located in the forefoot portion, having one end connected to the first bar, and extending in an oblique direction to extend rearward toward a medial foot side.

Sole and shoe including the same

A shoeincludes a twist allowance partand a medial reinforcement member(bend restraining part). The twist allowance partis provided in a medial part of a midfoot portion in a shoe soleserving as a bottom portion and allows medial twisting of the heel side with respect to the toe side. The medial reinforcement memberis disposed on the twist allowance partand restrains upward bending of the heel side in the medial part.

Shoe

A shoe sole includes a midsole and an outsole. The midsole has a first protruding portion at a location on a medial foot side and a rear end side of the shoe sole, and the outsole has a first cover portion covering the first protruding portion. The first cover portion includes a first bottom wall portion prescribing a ground contact surface, and a first side wall portion erected from a peripheral edge of the first bottom wall portion on the medial foot side. A first ridgeline that is a boundary between the first bottom wall portion and the first side wall portion is located so as to separate from a first outline of the first cover portion prescribed by the first side wall portion from a front side specific location toward a rear side specific location, in a case when seen along a normal direction of the ground contact surface.
