soft soles

Noiseless shoe bottoms

Soft soles are the flexible, pliable bottoms of shoes—typically found on infant footwear, moccasins, or slippers.

The term often appears in discussions of baby shoes, where soft soles allow natural foot development: She prefers soft soles for the baby until he's walking steadily.

Soft-soled shoes make little noise on hard floors.
