<p>A shoe press belt capable of preventing occurrence and growth of cracks is provided. The shoe press belt is used for a paper-making press apparatus including a press roll (1), a belt (2), and a pressure shoe (3) for pressing a material web (5). The shoe press belt includes a reinforcing layer (6), a first elastic material layer (7), and a second elastic material layer (8). A number of grooves are formed at an exterior peripheral surface region of the first elastic material layer (7). A bottom of the groove (9a) at an axial end region (S3) of the belt corresponding to at least one of an end-proximate region (S2) in an axial direction of the pressure shoe (3) and an end-proximate region (S1) in an axial direction of the press roll (1) is protruding toward the reinforcing layer (6) relative to a bottom of a groove (9b) at a region other than the end region (S3). <IMAGE></p> |
