Abstract

The present invention provides wear which is rich in cushioning property, which prevents or reduces rubbing with a part of the body such as a foot or a hand to avoid the occurrence of a blister or inflammation, and which can be put on smoothly. In the wear, such as footwear including a shoe, shoe insole, slipper, and sandal, a sock, a glove and the like, having a portion to be in surface contact with the surface of the foot or the hand, a part or whole of the surface to be in contact with the sole of the foot or the palm of the hand is covered with a cushioning member (11) made of non-sliding rubber or plastic, and a surface of the cushioning member (11) is further covered with a readily slidable net body (12) in such a way as to constitute a mesh structure.
