Abstract (en)
Footwear includes an upper leather member and a shoe sole bonded at an upper portion thereof to the upper leather member. The upper leather member is shaped to enclose the instep of a foot, and has a bottom opening rim closely corresponding to the outer shape of the sole of the foot. An insole is bonded to the front portion of the bottom opening rim of the upper leather member. The front portion of the upper leather member is configured in the shape of a bag to enclose a toe. In the insole, a shock absorber including a gel is provided. Thus, the shock absorber is stably located at the toe during walking. Therefore, the shock absorber absorbs a large impact on the toe, thus greatly reduces fatigue, pains, and other stresses of the foot. Moreover, by forming the shock absorber using the gel, the fit when a wearer wears the footwear for the first time can be maintained permanently and absorption of an impact on the toe is performed permanently.
