Abstract: There is provided a user-dedicated last that can be easily manufactured without using large-scale equipment. A last for forming a footwear upper configuring an article of footwear comprises a foot length forming member defining a shape of the last at least in the lengthwise direction of the article of footwear, and a plurality of foot width forming members defining a shape of the last at least in the widthwise direction of the article of footwear and assembled to the foot length forming member.

Abstract: A shoe includes a sole, an upper and a heel member. The upper is fixed to the sole and configured to cover a foot of a wearer, the upper including a wearing opening. The heel member is disposed on a heel side of the wearing opening of the upper. The heel member includes a guiding portion configured to guide a heel of the wearer toward the wearing opening and a holding portion configured to hold the guiding portion with respect to the upper at least in a vertical direction.

Abstract: A laminate of the present invention includes a first member which contains a thermoplastic polymer and through which laser light is transmitted and a second member which contains a thermoplastic polymer and absorbs laser light, wherein the first member is directly bonded to the second member, and A represented by the formula 1: A=?9×D+Wa?45 is more than zero. D represents a distance between a Hansen solubility parameter of the thermoplastic polymer of the first member and a Hansen solubility parameter of the thermoplastic polymer of the second member, and Wa represents work of adhesion calculated from each surface free energy of the first member and the second member. Such a first member and a second member are firmly bonded to each other without using a bonding sheet.

Abstract: A rubber member for laser bonding of the present invention containing a rubber ingredient and silica, wherein the silica has an average particle size of more than 50 nm and 120 nm or less, and the amount of the silica is 10 parts by mass to 50 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the rubber ingredient, the rubber member has a laser light transmittance of 30% or more, provided that the laser light transmittance is a transmittance when the rubber member has a thickness of 2 mm and is irradiated with laser light having a wavelength of 808 nm.

Abstract: A laminate for laser bonding of the present invention contains a bonding sheet that is melted by irradiation of laser light and a first member laminated on one surface of the bonding sheet and formed of a thermoplastic foam. The difference between the melting point of the first member (Mfoam) and the melting point of the bonding sheet (Msheet) (Mfoam?Msheet) is ?50° C. to 20° C. and the difference between the melt viscosity of the first member (Vfoam) and the melt viscosity of the bonding sheet (Vsheet) (Vfoam?Vsheet) is 3.0×105 Pa·s to 8.0×105 Pa·s. Preferably, the laminate for laser bonding contains a second member having transparency to laser light laminated on the other surface of the bonding sheet.
