Abstract: A laminated insole for a skate boot is disclosed. The insole includes a base layer moulded in a relatively rigid plastic material and an inner layer of a relatively resilient material laminated to the base layer. The base layer has a raised central portion in its outer surface which provides a strengthening spine for the insole and which is surrounded by a relatively flat peripheral surface portion onto which the margin of a lasted upper can be secured in constructing a boot. The raised central portion has a thickness corresponding generally to the thickness of the margin of the upper so that the bottom surface of the upper/insole combination is generally flat.
