The soles of many modern shoes and boots are made of crepe rubber, which is composed of coagulated latex that is pressed into sheets, creating a layered material that is durable yet flexible. Crepe-soled shoes are known for being quiet, as opposed to harder rubber or wooden soles that create clicking sounds when walking.
