FIELD: personal use articles.

SUBSTANCE: shoes include a shoe upper, which is fixed to external parts of a sole, comprising an upper end part and a lower end part. The external parts of the sole have at least two support elements (41, 42, 43) at the heel level made of a cushioning material and arranged accordingly at the side edge and at the middle edge of the shoe sole. Each element (41, 42, 43) stretches in vertical direction substantially from the end upper part to substantially the lower end part of the sole. The support elements (41, 42, 43) are made with the possibility of deformation substantially independently on each other. The external parts of the sole also comprise an elastically deformed element (30). The latter includes the upper part, which stretches in transverse direction of the sole and covers the upper end of each support element (41, 42, 43), and at least two grips (34, 35, 36). Grips stretch at the side and in the middle of the sole and cover each support element from the outside (41, 42, 43) substantially along their full height.

EFFECT: provision of shoe sole cushioning along three different directions, simultaneously in horizontal plane and in vertical direction.
