The outsole (10) may be further provided with an inserting groove (102); the inserting groove (102) corresponds to a position of the ventilation eyeholes (140). The waterproof breathable element (40) is received and sealed in the inserting groove (102); or the top of the outsole (10)is flat, the waterproof breathable element (40) is engaged with and sealed to the outsole via the connecting ring (440). The waterproof breathable sole further comprises a forced-suction and forced-discharge element (60) correspondingly provided over the waterproof breathable element (40). The provision of the waterproof breathable element (40) with the connecting ring (440) simplifies the provision process of the prior art waterproof breathable membrane and improves the adaptability for the various types of soles; the provision of the forced-suction and forced-discharge element (60) greatly improves the air circulation.
