Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR): TPR is the most dominant type of sole material used today. TPR soles are light-weight, durable, flexible and slip resistant. TPR soles have very good esthetics and can be made to look like leather. TPR soles are used on casual shoes for men and women, kid's shoes and light-weight work oxfords.

Crepe: Crepe is a member of the rubber family and can be either natural or man made. It is heavy, loses color and can be hot in warm weather. It's use is limited to some sport and casual shoes.
