Rubber shoe soles are incredibly durable, and traction resistant, making them an ideal choice for shoe sole construction. Natural rubber is perfect for casual and work boots due to its elasticity and good grip. Oil and chemical resistant synthetic rubbers like EPDM and thermoplastic rubber (TPR) further augment the synthetic rubber. Rubber soles are molded into a variety of patterns tailored to certain activities, be it athletics or simply walking, providing unmatched traction. These withstand wear and tear, ensuring protection and longevity for the shoes, making rubber the material of choice for soles in footwear manufacturing.
