Outer sole

Abstract

The present invention provides a footwear sole comprising a first layer adjacent to the inner sole formed of rubber; a second layer adjacent to the first layer formed of fabric, and a third layer adjacent to the second layer for engaging a walking surface formed of a non-slip material. The first layer may be formed of recycled rubber. The second fabric layer may be formed of nylon, polyester, acrylic, polyolefin, spandex, or any other synthetic material. The non-slip material of the third layer may be in the form of beads or dots. This non-slip material may be formed of dycem, plastics, rubber or other non-slip materials.

1 . Footwear having an inner sole and an outer sole, comprising: 
 a) a first layer adjacent to the bottom surface of the inner sole formed of recycled rubber;    b) a second layer adjacent to the bottom surface of said first layer formed of polyester fabric;    c) a third layer formed of dycem adjacent to the bottom surface of said second layer for engaging a walking surface formed of a non-slip material;    d) said non-slip material covering the entire area of said third layer; and    e) said non-slip material is in the form of beads or dots.
