To easily set a width of a sliding contact surface by controlling a width of a quenching part; and to reduce a danger of seizure when bearing pressure becomes high by narrowing the width of the sliding contact surface.

This hemispherical shoe has the sliding contact surface 6 formed in a substantially hemispherical shape by a convex hemispherical surface 2 and a flat end surface 3 and slidingly contacting with a hemispherical recessed part on a hemispherical surface, and unsliding contact surfaces 7 and 8 without slidingly contacting with the recessed part. When manufacturing this hemispherical shoe, first of all, after molding a hemispherical raw material having a hemispherical surface following after the recessed part, a surface of a part for forming the sliding contact surface in this hemispherical surface is quenched. The quenching part is swollen more than a surface of the original hemispherical surface, and a sliding surface is molded on a surface of this swelling part, and the hemispherical surface of the other part is formed as the unsliding contact surface.
