The outsole is the part of the shoe that comes into contact with the ground
Glued outsole: This type of outsole is not common.
material
Simply put, the material for the outsole is natural rubber or synthetic rubber.
(1) Natural rubber: The advantage of natural rubber is that it is very soft and has excellent elasticity, making it suitable for various sports. However, the disadvantage is also very obvious, which is that it is not very wear-resistant. Indoor sports shoes often use natural rubber.
Artificial synthetic rubber
Artificial synthetic rubber is divided into wear-resistant rubber, environmentally friendly rubber, air rubber, viscous rubber, hard rubber, and carbon rubber.
(1) Wear resistant rubber: Wear resistant rubber has excellent wear resistance and toughness, making it very durable. This rubber material is generally used on the outsole of tennis shoes.
(2) Environmentally friendly rubber: also known as recycled rubber, this rubber outsole contains up to 10% recycled rubber, mainly for the purpose of environmental protection.
(3) Air rubber: Rubber contains air and has a certain shock-absorbing function, but it is not very wear-resistant and has limited applications.
(4) Viscous rubber: Viscous rubber is characterized by good flexibility and excellent slip resistance, and is generally used on indoor sports shoes.
(5) Hard rubber: Hard rubber is the most comprehensive rubber material in the outsole rubber material, which is tough, anti slip, and wear-resistant, making it widely used. Multi functional shoes and basketball shoes mostly use this type of rubber for the outsole.
(6) Carbon rubber: Carbon elements are added to ordinary rubber materials to make the rubber more tough and wear-resistant. Most running shoes use this type of rubber, and the letters BRS are left on the back of the sole to indicate that carbon rubber is used on the outsole.
Glue the outsole
Glued outsole: This type of outsole is not common. The raw material for this outsole is industrial glue, which is stirred by a blender and then heated into a mold to form a soft and very slip resistant outsole.
