Which sole material is better

Nowadays, when people buy shoes, they will choose some shoes that are good quality and comfortable, because after all, they are worn on the feet. If you walk for a long time, if the shoes are uncomfortable, it will make the human body feel very tired. Moreover, the comfort level of the shoes is also related to the material of the soles. So which material of the soles is better? Let me introduce it to you below!

Generally speaking, the common characteristics of sole materials should be wear resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, heat resistance, pressure resistance, impact resistance, good elasticity, easy to adapt to the foot shape, not easy to deform after shaping, heat preservation, and easy to absorb moisture.

The sole material can be divided into rubber sole, tendon sole, melaleuca sole, foam sole, composite sole, leather sole, etc. according to the different shoes.

(1) Rubber sole: The advantage of rubber sole is that it is very soft and elastic, and can be adapted to various sports events. Indoor sports shoes are mostly made of rubber soles; however, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, it is not wear-resistant.

(2) Cowhide sole: light yellow, translucent sole, beautiful appearance, good elasticity and wear resistance, comfortable to wear. The tendon sole can be made of rubber, plastic, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPR).

(3) Thousand-layer sole: Thousand-layer sole is made of white cloth, which is stacked up in multiple layers. It is comfortable to wear, light and non-slip. It keeps you warm in winter and is breathable and sweat-absorbent in summer.

Thousand-layer soles are used to make cloth shoes.

(4) Foam soles: Shoes made of foam soles are very light and comfortable to wear. However, because foam sole shoes are too light, if the texture of the foam sole shoes is not non-slip, it is easy to fall on rainy days or when the ground is wet. Therefore, when choosing foam sole shoes, you should choose better quality ones with non-slip texture. Poor foam sole shoes will make the soles of your feet uncomfortable and feel stuffy.

(5) Composite bottom: It is composed of two layers that can be freely put in and taken out of the living body. The composite surface of the upper and lower bottom layers is a geometric shape with regular arrangement of concave and convex shapes. The upper bottom layer is covered with micropores, and the edge of the lower bottom layer has geometric holes, so that an interconnected space layer is formed between the upper and lower bottom layers. The pressure caused by people walking changes the volume of the space layer, and gas exchange is automatically carried out, thereby achieving the purpose of ventilation and dehumidification.

(6) Leather sole: A leather sole is a sole that can breathe automatically and drive the feet to breathe. It can automatically release absorbed sweat to keep the feet dry. Its main features: ① Good thermal insulation to ensure the foot keeps a suitable temperature inside the shoe. ②Light weight, ensuring the shoes are in a comfortable state. ③Unique three-dimensional fiber structure, the sole does not break when bent 180 degrees. It can quickly adapt to the shape of the foot, effectively support the impact of the ground, and protect the foot more effectively than soles of other materials of the same thickness.
