Abstract
Disclosed is a shoe sole comprising an outer sole F, B, a midsole and a reinforcement device made of a resin plate. The reinforcement device is firmly secured to the underside of an arch portion M of the midsole . At a medial side and a lateral side of the foot, the reinforcement device is shaped like an arch between separated outer sole parts F and B. A medial foot portion of the reinforcement device is formed to have a higher hardness than a lateral foot portion of the reinforcement device . This allows the reinforcement device to have a greater flexural rigidity in its medial foot portion than in its lateral foot portion
