Abstract: A sole for a sport shoe, especially of the type used for running over great distances, and having a one or multilayered midsole made of soft, elastic, shock-absorbing material disposed between an insole and an outer sole of abrasion resistent material, the midsole being provided with vertically oriented damping members possessing harder resiliency characteristics than the material of the midsole. For the purpose of improving the mounting of the damping members and for enlarging the degree to which the damping characteristics can be adjusted, the damping members are formed as damping discs (6) that are exchangeably insertable in cylinders (5). A piston (8) is received in each cylinder for pressing against the damping discs (6).
