There is provided a vibration insulator mounted between a cartridge and a wheel-side housing, in which the cartridge includes a rotor having a wheel and a rotational shaft and a bearing housing accommodating a bearing rotatably supporting the rotor, and the wheel-side housing is to be pressed to the bearing housing in an axial direction. The vibration insulator includes an annular outer ring portion having a wheel-side contact surface configured to come into contact with the wheel-side housing, an annular inner ring portion disposed inside the outer ring portion with a clearance from the outer ring portion and having a bearing-side contact surface configured to come into contact with the bearing housing, and a flexible support portion interposed between the outer ring portion and the inner ring portion and connecting the outer ring portion and the inner ring portion, the flexible support portion being elastically deformable.

A device for use in a shoe includes a first foot, a second foot, a third foot, a fourth foot, a first flexible leg, a second flexible leg, a third flexible leg, and a fourth flexible leg. The first flexible leg extends from the first foot and is curved. The second flexible leg extends from the second foot and is curved. The third flexible leg extends from the third foot and is curved. The fourth flexible leg extends from the fourth foot and is curved. The first flexible leg, second flexible leg, third flexible leg, and fourth flexible leg are joined together with each other at a common area. The first flexible leg, second flexible leg, third flexible leg, and fourth flexible leg are configured to store energy when a force is applied to the common area, and to return energy when the force is removed from the common area.

An antivibration unit attachment structure according to the present aspect includes: a vibration absorption part having a first elastic member which is elastically deformable in a first direction and which is connected to a vibration generation part; and a second elastic member which supports the vibration absorption part and which is connected to a vibration reception part. The second elastic member includes a movable part that extends from the vibration absorption part to both sides in a second direction and that is supported by the vibration reception part. The second elastic member is elastically deformable in the first direction and has an elastic coefficient different from that of the first elastic member. The vibration reception part includes a regulation member that comes into contact with at least one of the vibration absorption part and the second elastic member and that limits displacement of the second elastic member to the first direction.
