First Claim
1. A combined resilient sole of a shoe comprising:
- a sole body defining a cavity at a heel position thereof;
a retaining bracket mounted within the cavity, the retaining bracket defining a recess at a center thereof and a plurality of blind holes in an upper surface of the recess;
a plurality of springs respectively and vertically disposed in the blind holes; and
a footstock having a dimension the same as that of the upper surface of the recess and being disposed over a setting sheet, said footstock having a plurality of bosses extending from an undersurface thereof and each boss respectively retained within an upper end of the springs, thereby compressing the springs between the retaining bracket and the footstock.

Abstract
A combined resilient sole of a shoe comprises a sole body defining a cavity at a heel position thereof. A retaining bracket is mounted within the cavity and a number of blind holes in a surface defining the recess. A number of springs are disposed in the blind holes. A footstock is disposed over the retaining bracket. The footstock has a number of bosses extending from an undersurface thereof so that the springs may be compressed between the retaining bracket and the footstock. In a preferred embodiment, a setting sheet is disposed in the recess, and has a same dimension as that of the surface defining the recess. The setting sheet is disposed in the recess and defines a plurality of holes therein aligning with the blind holes of the recess, through which the springs may extend. In such an embodiment, a layer of sponge is covered on a top periphery of the retaining bracket to provide a resilient effect, the layer of sponge being configured as a frame.
