EVA shoe soles
Enter a shoe store and take a look around. You can be sure that more than 70% of the shoes you see are made of EVA soles. EVA outsole is widely used in the production of shoes.

So it should come as no surprise that EVA outsoles are also used to make most sneakers. Due to the extremely soft EVA outsole, it is usually combined with rubber and TPU to make it heat resistant and not deform. Therefore, if rubber and TPU are not used in the manufacture of EVA shoe soles, there is a possibility that the shoes will slip on slippery and wet surfaces. Note that EVA outsole is not only soft, but also used in making comfortable shoes. Men’s classic shoes 3926, which are available in the new leather online store, use EVA outsoles.
