Abstract
Abstract
This review covers the various polymeric materials now used to produce outsoles and midsoles for footwear. Thermoset rubbers are considered to be the best material in terms of performance, but many new materials are challenging in the marketplace, due to their ease of production and lighter weight. While the focus of this review is on improvements made in the last 15 years, the history of footwear and footwear materials is discussed to provide a background for the development of the various alternatives to thermoset rubber.
