A plate to be used for a sole forming a part of a shoe, the plate comprising: a front support portion that is formed at a position overlapping, in a thickness direction of the sole, MP joints of a wearer of the shoe, and supports a forefoot portion of the wearer; and a center support portion that has a shape extending rearward from the front support portion, is formed at a position overlapping, in the thickness direction of the sole, metatarsal bones of the wearer of the shoe, and supports at least a midfoot portion of the wearer, wherein the front support portion is formed in a flat shape or a curved shape with a single downward protrusion in a cross section in a foot width direction, when the sole is placed on a flat plane, and the center support portion has a shape with an upward protrusion and a downward protrusion arranged alternately in the foot width direction in a cross section in the foot width direction, when the sole is placed on the flat plane, wherein the upward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude upward and the downward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude downward, wherein the center support portion comprises a center projection formed centrally in the foot width direction by the upward protrusion; an inner projection formed inward of the center projection and contiguously to the center projection in the foot width direction by the downward protrusion; and an outer projection formed outward of the center projection and contiguously to the center projection in the foot width direction by the downward protrusion; characterized in that an apex of the center projection is shifted away from the heel center toward the lateral foot side or toward the medial foot side, wherein a length from an upper end of the center projection to a lower end of the outer projection is largest in a center portion of the center support portion in a foot length direction, and decreases gradually in the midfoot region from the center portion toward the front support portion or a rear support portion. a front support portion that is formed at a position overlapping, in a thickness direction of the sole, MP joints of a wearer of the shoe, and supports a forefoot portion of the wearer; and a center support portion that has a shape extending rearward from the front support portion, is formed at a position overlapping, in the thickness direction of the sole, metatarsal bones of the wearer of the shoe, and supports at least a midfoot portion of the wearer, wherein the front support portion is formed in a flat shape or a curved shape with a single downward protrusion in a cross section in a foot width direction, when the sole is placed on a flat plane, and the center support portion has a shape with an upward protrusion and a downward protrusion arranged alternately in the foot width direction in a cross section in the foot width direction, when the sole is placed on the flat plane, wherein the upward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude upward and the downward protrusion has a shape curved to protrude downward, wherein the center support portion comprises a center projection formed centrally in the foot width direction by the upward protrusion; an inner projection formed inward of the center projection and contiguously to the center projection in the foot width direction by the downward protrusion; and an outer projection formed outward of the center projection and contiguously to the center projection in the foot width direction by the downward protrusion; characterized in that an apex of the center projection is shifted away from the heel center toward the lateral foot side or toward the medial foot side, wherein a length from an upper end of the center projection to a lower end of the outer projection is largest in a center portion of the center support portion in a foot length direction, and decreases gradually in the midfoot region from the center portion toward the front support portion or a rear support portion.
