A shoe sole made of recycled shoes is provided, which uses recycled used shoes as a primary constituent of the raw material thereof; wherein general waste shoes or used shoes are recycled completely regardless the materials they have. After being processed to remove metal accessories, the recycled shoes are pulverized to form particles recycled raw material, which is then subjected to high temperature deodorization and drying. The materials of the whole shoes that are recycled is applied, at a percentage of 20-80%, depending upon the desired property of the shoe sole to be made, and added with 5-50% of natural and synthetic rubber material and a proper amount of curing additives, activation prompting agents, and filling agents, followed by uniformly mixing to make a shoe outsole having the desired property. As such, the used shoes can be totally recycled and reused.
