Should I choose TPR soles or rubber soles?

The fit of shoes is related to the health of the feet, and also affects the comfort when walking, when choosing shoes, the material of the sole is a quite important point of consideration, the most common sole material is TPR and rubber, the following comparison of these two materials, to help you make a better choice.

1. TPR sole

TPR sole is a thermoplastic rubber material, with wear-resistant, good elasticity, easy to process and other advantages, and the weight of TPR sole will be about 30% lighter than the traditional rubber sole, light and comfortable to wear, which can reduce the burden of walking, and its elastic molecular structure can also alleviate more than 70% of the impact. However, there are some shortcomings of this material, it is easy to become hard in the low temperature environment, and the elasticity will be reduced after wearing for a long time, and the gripping force will be reduced.

2. Rubber soles

Rubber soles, whether natural rubber or synthetic rubber, have good wear resistance and anti-slip, especially charcoal rubber, hard rubber, etc. in the wear-resistant performance is even better, through the surface texture design to enhance the grip, even in the slippery road can maintain a stable anti-slip effect. However, these soles are prone to cracking and hardening, are heavier and less soft than TPR soles, and are less breathable, making them boring to wear for a long time.

In short, whether it is TPR soles or rubber soles have their own advantages and disadvantages, if you want a pair of soft and comfortable shoes, TPR soles are the first choice, if your demand is a pair of wear-resistant and non-slip shoes, it is recommended that you choose rubber soles.
