ABSTRACT:
A shoe pad having massaging effect of the type which is made from resilient and soft plastic material is provided. The shoe pad includes a lower layer and an upper layer. The upper layer is provided with a plurality of bulbs which are evenly distributed over the upper surface of the upper layer. The upper layer further includes a first cell corresponding to the sole of the foot and a second cell corresponding to the heel of the foot. The first and second cells are connected by a connecting passage such that a fluid communication therebetween is established. The upper layer further includes a bulged portion corresponding to the plantar arch of the foot. The lower layer is provided with a planar configuration and is provided with a first and second recesses corresponding to the first and second cells of the upper layer. Wherein when the upper layer is attached to the lower layer, the bulbs can be filled with air and a receiving space can be defined between the cells and the recesses. Wherein the cells can be injected and filled with fluid such that a pressure transferring device is configured. By the provision of the shoe pad, the reactive force toward to the entire foot can be well tenderized. In light of this, the functions of shock-absorbing and fitness can be attained. On the other hand, the reactive force applied to the sole and the heel can be well buffered. A comfort and fitness can therefore be attained.
