The present invention addresses a problem to develop a novel shock absorbing structure which exhibits high shock absorbing performance peculiar to a soft material and a repulsion characteristic compatibly while exposing a most of an outer periphery of the soft material to outside when the shock absorbing structure is incorporated into a sole of a shoe, for example, and a shoe to which the shock absorbing structure is applied. [Solution] A shock absorbing structure of the present invention is formed by including a column member, a ring member that is provided by being fitted onto the column member and has elasticity, a first pressure receiving portion that is connected to an upper end of the column member, and a second pressure receiving portion that is connected to a lower end of the column member, wherein the column member tilts with respect to at least one of the first and second pressure receiving portions with pressure reception, and is restored with decompression, and the ring member is caused to undergo bulging deformation to an outer circumferential side direction from an inner circumferential side by tilting of the column member. |
