What is EVA sole?
This is one of the most popular soles that you will find in the market. In fact, many work boots come with these types of soles.
Most of the time, we just want to find out whether the footwear we are buying comes with a leather, rubber or synthetic sole.
But hold that thought ….
Have you ever thought about the sole of your shoe? Come to think of it, when shopping for shoes, people concentrate mostly on how good a shoe looks on the outside rather than its characteristics.
So, what is an Eva Sole? It’s a plastic sole made from EVA (Ethylene-vinyl acetate) material and foam to form rubber-like soles that are flexible, responsive to your foot bends and movements. They are also soft. This is a type of plastic but it has the flexibility, comfort and durability of rubber.
Because of the combination of materials used to make these soles, they are flexible, long-lasting and they resist UV rays and radiation. Keep reading to see more benefits of wearing shoes with EVA soles.
Which is a better sole material: EVA or rubber?
This is one of the most contentious issues out there. Some people swear by EVA soles and others swear by rubber soles. However, as it turns out, these are two different specimen altogether and so they come with distinctive benefits and some similarities.
EVA soles
The EVA sole is very responsive, light in weight and responds very well to your foot needs. It bends when you need it to bend. It rolls when your foot rolls. Basically, what we are saying is that it supports the natural motion of your feet.
And that is not all! You see, since this is a lightweight sole, it is great on casual, home wear shoes. It is also good for walking and running shoes.
If the weather is cold, these soles will help to keep your feet warm.
Rubber Soles
Rubber is definitely the king when it comes to all types ofwork boots, casual shoes and even sandals and slippers.
You see, it is as responsive as the EVA material. In addition, it offers great traction on different surfaces. Like the EVA soles, rubber is also responsive to the foot movements and it supports the natural motion of your feet as you stand, walk or run.
