PURPOSE: To provide an insole for shoes in which the elasticity in the toe part to which a load is most applied at wearing is never deteriorated even by a long-term use, and the touch laid along the foot bottom is soft.

CONSTITUTION: This insole is formed by sticking a moisture absorbing cover material 2 onto the upper surface of an elastic insole body 1 in which a peripheral part 6 is formed thick extending from the shank part 4 to the heel part 5, and the outer periphery is set high to provide a recessed part 7 on the upper surface of the heel part 5. The bottom form of the foot extending from the toe part 3 to the heel part 4 of the insole body 1 is formed by natural rubber sponge and/or synthetic rubber sponge. The peripheral part 6 extending from the shank part 4 to the heel part 5 is formed thick by a thermoplastic resin foamed body having flexible elasticity, and the outer periphery 6a is set high.
