PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shoe which allows the user to safely walk on a stain-proof paint surface without damaging the stain-proof paint surface, facilitates exchange of a sole portion thereof, and eliminates degradation of non-skid performance of the sole portion due to its abrasion, by exchanging the sole portion. SOLUTION: In this shoe, an almost belt-shaped exchange assisting means 4 is interposed between a shoe body 2 and the sole portion 3 formed of an elastic porous material. The exchange assisting means 4 has a surface for disengageably engaging with a bottom surface of the shoe body 2 and/or an upper surface of the sole portion 3. During application of the shoe 1, one end of the exchange assisting means 4 is hooked to a heel rear portion of the shoe main body 2. When the worn sole portion 3 is exchanged, the one end of the exchange assisting means 4 is unhooked from the heel rear portion of the shoe body 2, and then the exchange assisting means 4 is separated from the shoe body 2 with the one end thereof being initially separated from the shoe body 2, which leads to cancellation of the engagement of the sole portion 3 with the shoe body 2, to thereby detach the sole portion 3 from the shoe body 2. In this manner, exchange of the sole portion 3 is easily carried out without strong force, to thereby improve the exchanging efficiency of the sole portion 3.
