Abstract: An ironing shoe (202) comprising a laminate (204) having at least one laminate opening (215) and a laminate periphery similar to a sole periphery of a sole plate (203) of an iron (201), the sole plate having a sole plate surface (210), the laminate comprising a heat insulating layer (205) having a sole contact surface (206) for making contact with the sole plate surface of the iron and a heat transfer layer (207) having a garment contact surface (208) for ironing. After mounting the ironing shoe according to the invention to the iron, the sole contact surface of the heat insulating layer is in contact with the sole plate surface of the iron. The sole contact surface and the garment contact surface of the heat transfer layer are turned away from each other. During mounting and unmounting of the shoe, as well as during ironing, the garment contact surface of the heat transfer layer is not in direct contact with the sole plate.
