Abstract

The invention relates to a shoe, in particular a sports shoe, comprising an upper part (1) and a sole (2). Said sole (2) comprises a support or inner part (2') which is joined to the upper part (1), an intermediate sole (2'') which is joined to the support or upper part (2') and an outer sole (2''') which is joined to the intermediate sole (2''). According to the invention, the intermediate sole (2'') is embodied at least over one part of the base outlet surface as a damping element in order to maintain the simple production possibilities of the spring and dampening ratio of the shoe, said damping element comprising a plurality of first elements (3) which are arranged next to each other and which extend, essentially, in a load direction (R) over a pre-determined height (H) in the unloaded state of the damping element, and is embodied as a hollow body defining a receiving area (4) in which an associated second element (5) with a smaller cross-section then the first element (3) can at least partially penetrate. The second element (5) extends essentially in the load direction (R) over a pre-determined height (h) in the unloaded state of the damping element (1), and is arranged in a coaxial manner in relation to the first element (3).
