What is the difference between rubber sole and plastic sole? Which is better?

Answer:

They are: Rubber each one has his good points is a very traditional old shoe, but the wear resistance, high temperature performance is excellent. And plastic is a new type of material, light and easy to shape.
Plastic soles, originated in Germany during World War II, the plastic is environmental protection material, easy to hydrolysis, but in normal dry environment were very good, it is easy to light first, spray foam molding, can do a variety of colors, wear-resistant folding, compared to do sandal bottom, bottom sole and leisure beach. As the general PU anti low temperature and anti slip performance slightly almost, so a lot of PU bottom shoes bottom, with TPR or PVC tendon tendon. It is obvious that the safety sole made of plastic material is very light, so the safety sole made by the customer can definitely satisfy the light requirement. But a lot of time, because this safety shoes is a kind of special product, a lot of time will make steel plate in the head and safety shoes above, so that the safety requirements of portable shoes market is very large.
Rubber soled shoes: rubber is a natural material. It is a material from nature, so it has a green effect, so it is often used on the bottom of safety shoes.

However, in many cases, this type of safety shoes will be chosen, because it has the effect of wear-resistant and anti-skid.
