Method of manufacturing a shoe having a transversal air passageway comprising a shoe sole and an upper and a lower pliable parts for enclosing a foot of the user of the shoe, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of:

• providing the shoe with a peripheral band formed in the shape of a closed line and formed in a resilient material,
• attaching the upper and lower parts by their outer edges to opposing faces of said peripheral band along its length, and
• attaching the lower part to the shoe sole in both the front and back parts of the shoe, but not in a part between the front and back parts of the shoe, such that a transversal air passageway is formed from the medial part to the lateral part of the shoe, between the front and the back parts of the shoe, and between the shoe sole and the lower part.
