BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a shoe cushion, and more particularly to a shoe cushion for safety shoes. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional shoe cushion 20 in accordance with the prior art shown in FIG. 1 is used for one of a pair of safety shoes comprising a shoe body 10 and a shoe sole 15. The shoe cushion 20 is mounted on the top face of the shoe sole 15 of the shoe body 10. The shoe cushion 20 is made of hard metallic material to provide a protection effect to a user, thereby preventing the user's one foot from being hurt by a sharp object, such as a nail or the like. However, the shape of the shoe cushion 20 is fixed and cannot be changed to correspond to the profile of the shoe sole of the shoe body and the profile of a user's one foot, thereby easily causing an uncomfortable sensation to the user when wearing the shoe. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] The present invention is to mitigate and/or obviate the disadvantage of the conventional shoe cushion. [0006] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a shoe cushion that has excellent mobility and provides a comfortable sensation to the user. [0007] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a shoe cushion, wherein the combination pieces can be pivoted relative to each other so that the shape of the shoe cushion is changed freely so as to conform to the profile of the shoe sole of the shoe body and the profile of the user's one foot, thereby providing a comfortable sensation to the user wearing the shoe. [0008] A further objective of the present invention is to provide a shoe cushion, wherein the shape of the shoe cushion is changed freely in one-dimensional or two-dimensional direction, so that the shoe cushion is bent freely to facilitate motion of the user's one foot. [0009] In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a shoe cushion, comprising a plurality of combination pieces pivotally connected with each other, wherein each of the combination pieces has a first side formed with a pivot shaft and a second side formed with a pivot groove. [0010] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.
