However, leather is still used in many ‘dress-shoes' as they are considered classy. Some shoe-soles are also made up of rubber or polyurethane (PU) soles or sometimes a mix of leather and rubber. Now that you know the history of outsoles, let us compare the properties of leather to rubber soles. Leather sole vs. Rubber sole 1.Comfort: Leather Sole Pros: Leather soles are frequently thought of as this hard material that doesn't take comfort into account. The issue with this line of reasoning is that it really doesn't consider that while leather was made to be hard, one must not overlook that it is still skin and can form and shape to your foot, permitting it to develop a familiar shape when treated and used correctly. • Ribbon Flexi Rose Gold (PREORDER) Flat

Subsequently, you generally don't feel so hardened when a shoe is made of a rubber sole, thus giving you the cushiony effect with every stride. • Rubber Sole Cons: Rubbers don't mould and take the shape of your feet, unlike leather, but the depending on how you walk, your feet can feel slightly tired after long walks.

For instance, a 3-layered leather sole can last quite long. So, the more layers it has, the more durable it is. So be careful to check on this, as not all leather outsoles are made equal. • Leather Cons: The demerit is just the opposite of its merits, i.e., the number of layers. If a leather sole has fewer layers, it'd become more fragile and definitely not durable nor practical. • Rubber Pros: Due to the nature of rubber, it can be very durable. A good quality natural rubber sole is almost unbeatable. Due to the water-resistance nature, you don't need to fear at all when it gets wet. It can last long and is more practical for different types of weather. • Rubber Cons: The only demerit of rubber sole is if it somehow cracks, then it's gone. Although, you can easily go to the cobbler to get it replaced. But if without cracks, it can last very long! • T-shaped Heel Grip and Cushion

They are pliable and offers reliable traction in both warm and cool weather conditions. High-quality natural rubber is also able to provide grip when exposed to oil and water.
