crepe sole

Textured shoe base

A crepe sole is a shoe sole made from natural rubber with a distinctive soft, textured surface.

The material provides cushioning and grip but wears down faster than synthetic alternatives.

Crepe soles are traditional on desert boots and casual footwear: The crepe soles on his Clarks were starting to show their age.
