Active material particles, a conductive material, a binder, and a solvent are mixed to prepare composite particles. The composite particles are mixed with metal short fibers to make the metal short fibers adhere to surfaces of the composite particles. After the adhesion of the metal short fibers, the composite particles are brought together and compacted to produce an electrode for electric storage devices. Each of the composite particles contains at least the active material particles, the conductive material, and the binder. The total content of the metal short fibers in the electrode for electric storage devices is not lower than 15 mass % and not higher than 35 mass %.
