A shoe in a swash plate type compressor has a spherical engaging surface that engages with a piston, and a plane engaging surface that is substantially a plane and engages with a swash plate. The plane engaging surface includes a substantially planar sliding surface, a substantially radially extending peripheral surface and a connecting surface. The sliding surface is formed near a center of the plane engaging surface and slides over the swash plate. The peripheral surface is formed near a periphery of the plane engaging surface, is formed at a distance from the sliding surface away from the surface of the swash plate so as to form an inwardly-directed step in the plane engaging surface, and is connected to the spherical engaging surface at its outer periphery. The connecting surface connects the sliding surface to the peripheral surface.
