Description of the Related Art Golf shoes are made of leather or synthetic leather, and in both spike shoes and spikeless shoes, a plurality of metal spikes, rubber protrusions and other protrusions are provided on the back surface of the sole. In this way, the locking force with the ground is increased to ensure a secure footing when hitting the ball. Then, during the swing, first, the batter addresses the golf club to the ball and takes a swing start posture. Next, when the golf club is taken back, the knees of the front foot (the left foot when the batter is a right-handed person, the right foot when the batter is a left-handed person) are moved inward with respect to the direction of the ball. Inclining the shoes inward and supporting the weight with the rear foot (the right foot if the batter is right-handed, the left foot if the batter is left-handed), and keep the weight on the rear foot during the shot. To the front side of the foot and support the whole weight on the front side of the front side of the shoe, while the knees of the rear side of the foot are bent and moved inward to incline the rear side of the shoe and the heel side. The golf club is swung out by turning the thumb inward while raising the shoe to make the shoe stand on the tip of the toe.

At the moment when the weight shifts to support the entire weight of the front foot and impact the ball, the weight of the body is further pushed forward on the back of the shoe sole or the waist leather portion of the shoe. It is extremely important to form a so-called wall on the front side of the body and hit the ball from the viewpoint of flight distance and directionality of the hit ball. However, it is quite difficult to withstand the weight shift to the front side with the shoes at the moment of impact, and as shown in FIG. 8, the inside of the sole 2 of the front shoe floats at the moment of hitting the ball. Many golfers hit the ball in the state. In this way, floating the inside of the shoe sole 2 causes the body to flow to the front side, and the head speed of the golf club swayed out is sufficiently transmitted to the ball, and the flight distance of the ball is sufficiently extended. I can't. Further, the swing of the body axis causes the shot to be misaligned, which causes a problem that the launching direction of the ball cannot be determined.
