A laminate having upper and lower strata is provided for incorporation into a shoe as an integral part thereof. The lower stratum includes a tab portion having flocking on one face for cushionable engagement with the heel of a person's foot and a glazelike surface on the opposite face for slidable engagement with the counter of the shoe. The profiles of the rearward edge of the lower stratum with the exception of the tab portion and the rearward edge of the upper stratum substantially conform to the profile of the rearward edge of the shoe sock lining. The upper stratum and lower stratum are bonded together, the rearward edges being in registration. The laminate is bonded to the shoe in such a way that the tab portion and the upper and lower strata are adapted to be pulled up for engagement with the heel of the person's foot as it is about to be placed within the shoe and are adapted to slide downwardly with the foot as it is inserted into the shoe.
