Abstract: An insole for a shoe is made of a resin having elasticity. The thickness of the insole increases gradually from the portion corresponding to the arch of the foot toward the heel portion to give a slope on the insole. In the bottom of the insole, corresponding to the slope, a recess is provided and ventilation holes are pierced between the recess and the upper surface of the insole. Other ventilation holes are provided through the insole in the area from a toetip to the arch of the foot portion and are connected to the recess through grooves provided in the bottom surface of the insole.

Abstract: An insole for a shoe made of foam resin containing fine bubbles, the thickness of which increases from the portion corresponding to the arch of the foot to the trailing end of the heel to give a slope on said insole, the bottom edge or corner of the heel is cut to provide cavities between the cut surface of the insole and the inner surface of the shoe to allow the insole to be deformed into said cavity due to the load on the insole for guarantee of cushion.
