PURPOSE: To efficiently eliminate the static electricity on a human body by machining conductive material such as conductive threads or nonwoven fabric with a specific electric resistance value to be exposed on the upper or sole material surface of the footwear so that its one end is brought into contact with the human body.
CONSTITUTION: A conducting material such as the yarn doubling or knitting yarns (referred to as conducting threads 1) made of a cotton mixing material of fibers containing a metal or a metal compound or containing carbon and using fibers with the electric resistance value of 1×108Ω or below as a base is machined to be exposed on the upper surface or the bottom material surface of the footwear. Its one end is constituted in touch directly with a human body or via another conducting material. When this footwear is worn, the static electricity on the human body can be efficiently removed.
