What are the various elements of a boot sole?
The outsole is the bottom of the boot and comes in direct contact with the ground; it provides a measure of protection, depending upon the material it is constructed out of, and is made out of a variety of materials with different tread designs. The midsole is the middle layer or layers that go on top of the outside; it helps provide strength, durability and comfort to the boot. The insole is the comfort layer that goes on top of the midsole and comes in direct contact with the wearer’s foot.
