Provided is a shoe including an upper composed of a fiber sheet, the fiber sheet including: a base sheet including yarns having heat shrinkability; and a plurality of chip members, each of which is a sheet having an area smaller than that of the base sheet, the base sheet and the plurality of chip members being layered and joined together.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth, a multilayered cloth, and a textile product, which have flame retardancy and heat insulation and develop a relief structure when exposed to flame or heat. As a means for resolution, a cloth characterized in that a yarn A having a high thermal shrinkage rate and a yarn B having a low thermal shrinkage rate are alternately arranged in the warp direction or weft direction is obtained, then, as necessary, a multilayered cloth is obtained using the cloth as an intermediate layer, and further, as necessary, a textile product is formed using the multilayered cloth.

A label is provided that includes layers; a base film, a thermal layer, and a heat-shrinkable layer. This label is adhered to the top seal of a container. When this label-adhered container is heated in a microwave oven, the thermal layer generates heat through microwave absorption, and heat thus generated serves to heat and soften the base film, heat-shrinkable film and top seal. The heat-shrinkable film shrinks under heat, opening notches penetrating through the label. The top seal thus affected by heating is further subject to a stress applied in response to the notches being opened, and a heated and softened portion of the top seal is also affected by an increasingly higher internal pressure. As a result, holes are formed in the top seal.

A self-adhesive label includes a bilayer having at least one layer of paper coupled to at least one polymeric film, wherein the polymeric film is coated, on the surface opposite to the surface of coupling to the at least one paper layer, with a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA). The adhesive has wash-off properties such as to cause the label to peel off from a surface by washing with a 1.0%-2.0% NaOH solution at 65-75? C. Alternatively, the adhesive has a force lower than the shrink force of the polymeric film. The label also includes an intermediate layer placed between the polymeric film and the PSA adhesive, capable of promoting the adhesion of the PSA adhesive to the polymeric film, and/or the polymeric film is treated with a corona, flame treatment or plasma treatment.
