A crawler shoe used in an endless track vehicle having metal shoes made of iron or the like. The metal shoe has two integral projections projecting toward the ground contact side of the shoe. An elastic shoe made of rubber or the like is integrally molded and fixed to the metal shoe around the projections. The elastic shoe is provided with tapered surfaces, stepped portions, or transverse grooves in areas opposite from the projections to reduce shearing stresses exerted on the end portions of the elastic shoe.
