Abstract

The shoe has a body, an insole, illuminating device and a shoe-pad. The body is formed as a single piece and has a recess, a heel, and a cavity. The cavity is formed in the body near the heel and communicates with the recess. The insole is mounted in the recess and has a crevice, a containing hole and a fixing hole. The crevice is formed in the bottom of the insole and corresponds to the cavity in the body. The containing hole is formed in the insole and corresponds to the cavity, and the fixing hole is formed in the periphery of the insole. The illuminating device is mounted between the body and the insole and has two wires, a power source, a circuit board, multiple illuminating elements and a switch. The shoe-pad is attached to insole and has a through hole and a cover.
