Claims17
A shoe sole member comprising:
- a foam comprising a polymer composition, the foam having a lateral surface constituting at least a part of the shoe sole member, and a bottom surface of the shoe sole member extending inward from a lower end of the lateral surface of the foam;
- and
- a non-foamed film continuously extending from the lateral surface to the bottom surface;
- wherein
- the foam has an upwardly extended sidewall portion at an outer peripheral portion of the foam,
- the non-foamed film is provided on an outer surface and an inner surface of the upwardly extended sidewall portion such that the upwardly extended sidewall portion is entirely encapsulated by the non-foamed film,
- the upwardly extended sidewall portion has an upper distal end,
- the upwardly extended sidewall portion of the foam continuously extends from the lateral surface of the foam to the upper distal end of the non-foamed film;
- an entirety of the non-foamed film on the outer surface has a larger thickness than the non-foamed film on the inner surface, and the non-foamed film on the inner surface has a maximum thickness of less than 150 μm;
- and
- the non-foamed film at least partially has a thickness of 50 μm or more.
