CONSTITUTION:The shoes are formed integrally by arranging a light emission diode 5 in one end, soldering directly a lead wire 5a of the light emission diode to each electrode surface 4a, and resin-hardening the part of piezoelectric ceramics 3, the electrode face 4a and the lead wire 5a by a flexible, comparatively hard resin except the head part of the light emission diode. By pressing and bending the center of the piezoelectric ceramics 3 in such a state supported as a projecting part 14 of an insole 8 is supported in both ends by a resin piece 13 inserted into a mid-sole 7, bending stress is generated repeatedly in the piezoelectric ceramics 3. Whenever it is generated, electromotive force is generated and the light emission diode 5 connected thereto emits light, and its light is confirmed through a transparent resin 16 from the rear. Accordingly, at night, it can be observed visually and safety is enhanced, and also, this shoes can be provided as fashionable shoes.
