A setup portion (S) or a knitting end portion is formed at a heel side end of the footwear (), and such setup portion (S) or the knitting end portion is extended in a height direction of the footwear () and also connected to the heel portion (). The heel portion () is formed by a knitting of stacking a stitch row for plural tiers in a wale direction, and gradually differing the number of stitches in a knitting width direction of the stitch row when stacking tiers of the stitch row. The heel portion () is formed to a tongue shape in which a width gradually becomes narrower toward a heel side of the footwear () according to the change in the number of stitches.
