Abstract: A high heel shoe pertains to a folding heel which folds resiliently when the heel tip contacts a surface and absorbs impact transferred from the heel of a wearer's foot to relieve fatigue while walking. The high heel shoe having a foldable heel includes: a sole (110) having a bottom portion (111) contacting the ground, and a tilt portion (112) tilted upwardly from the bottom portion (111); a heel (130) having a front top (131) hinged to the intermediate portion of the lower surface of the tilt portion (112); and a resilient member (140) of which both ends are fixed at a rear lower surface (112a) of the tilt portion (112) and at a top (132) of the heel (130), respectively. The heel (130) also has an unfolded state in which the elastic force of the resilient member (140) is released.

Abstract: A functional shoe pertains to a cushioning function and an air circulation function, which integrally performs the cushioning function and the air circulation function. The functional shoe includes: an insole (110) and a midsole (120) having a tunnel portion (122). The tunnel portion (122) has a lower surface (122a) and an upper surface (122b) having a predetermined angle (?) with the lower surface (122a); an outsole (130) having an anti-slip tread (132); a foldable resilient member (140) having a support portion (142) for supporting the lower surface (122a) of the tunnel portion (122), and a rotating portion (144). The rotating portion (144) is resiliently folded by the load being applied thereto; a sealing member (150); and an air channel (160) having one end communicated to the closed tunnel (122) and the other end located at the front end of the insole (110).
