What kind of material is the 'TPR sole' mentioned in the loafer's sole description?
The English abbreviation on the sole of casual penny loafers may be unfamiliar, making it difficult to judge whether one can walk stably on wet roads or slippery floors.
It is a synthetic material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the light weight of plastic, and with non-slip treatment added to the bottom, it helps you walk stably.
TPR SOLE was used for the sole of KHIHO's penny loafers[1]. TPR stands for thermoplastic rubber, a synthetic material that combines the elasticity of rubber and the lightness of plastic. Compared to traditional leather soles, it is water-resistant and does not wear down easily, so it is frequently used on the bottoms of everyday dress shoes.
In addition, a rubber sole with anti-slip treatment on the bottom surface has been added[2]. It helps keep your feet from slipping even when walking on slippery road surfaces such as marble corridors or rain-soaked sidewalk blocks. Thanks to the characteristics of the rubber material that absorbs impact from the ground, the fatigue transmitted to the soles of your feet is reduced even when walking for a long time.
hmmm, it is a design that chooses an easy-to-care-for rubber sole instead of a leather sole vulnerable to rain or snow, allowing you to take them out and wear them without worry even in bad weather.
The exact thickness of the outsole or the heel height has not been confirmed yet.
