(54)	Ventilated insole for a footwear and footwear provided therewith

(57) Insole for footwear, comprising an upper layer (1) of soft and porous material; a markedly elastic lower layer made with a thick, close-meshed net-like structure (2), said lower layer being capable of being reduced, when compressed, to a thickness that is by far thinner than the thickness it has under uncompressed conditions; two layers lying on top and at the bottom, respectively, adapted to keep said upper and lower layers in a preestablished position relative to each other. The upper layer is made at least partially of latex, whereas the lower layer with a close-meshed net-like structure is prevailingly made of plastic material. Aeration through-channels are provided orthogonally to said insole layers.
