Oops, forgot to mention, the result was that you are better of with
rubber soles on the whole.
This may be a non-issue these days, but in the early 70s when your
sole wore out the cobbler gave you a choice - was it to be resoled
with rubber (new stuff) or
leather (traditional stuff).
After doing the experiments, my choice was clear. Maybe I saved
myself breaking a leg by not slipping, over the ensuing years!
Cheers,
