A shoe includes a sole with a midsole, and an upper portion joined to the sole. The midsole includes a cut having a linear shape, and a depth from a first height position to a second height position in a thickness direction. The cut is configured such that a part of the cut has no contact point with an other part of the cut, and the cut forms a V shape at the deepest part on a cross section when opposite inner walls of the cut are spaced from each other.
