A sole structure of a shoe, e.g. a sport shoe, comprising an outer wearing sole, an inner or intermediate layer, and additionally a cushioning and supporting structure between the sole and layer. The cushioning and supporting structure has a flexible toe portion extending substantially from a tip of the shoe to a ball area of a foot in the shoe, a resilient heel portion tapering in a wedge-like manner from a rear edge of the shoe towards the forward tip of the shoe, and extending at least over a heel area of the shoe, and additionally a body piece fitted above the heel portion and substantially extending from the rear edge of the shoe to the ball area of the foot, over a zone adapted to fit against the heel of the arch of the foot. The body piece is substantially stiffer and harder than the heel portion and the toe portion. The body portion is preferably fixed to the inner or intermediate layer along the entire length of the upper surface of the body portion, or at the location fitting against the heel and the arch of the foot. The body portion is also preferably fixed to the heel portion and to the toe portion along a lower surface of the body portion, or along principally downwardly extending surfaces of the body portion.
