Well, I wanted your opinions...rubber soles are much more comfortable than leather...Originally Posted by harryx2
More comfortable?! Wouldn't agree on that.
My only reason to wear rubber soles is bad weather. As for dress shoes particularly, since I wear them extremely rarely, I think leather soles is the way to go. Without doubt.

Strange. I consider leather soles to be balsam whenever I wear it... which isn't too often, sadly.
Anyway, as long as you have dress shoes with thin rubber soles, they can still look nice.

I prefer leather, and find my leather-soled shoes to be very comfortable all day. I do have a few pairs with rubber soles for bad weather days.

I have a few pairs of Eccos with rubber soles and they are useful in the really sloppy winter weather, when I'm OK with sacrificing style for practicality. And honestly, I've walked MILES in them on a daily basis (summer vacations in Paris = tons of walking) and they remain comfortable all day.
But when I'm dressing for success, my shoes are leather soled.

if you're doing anything other going from your house to a car to a carpeted building without any real distance of walking, rubber.
if you dont actually have to walk anywhere in them, leather. which makes a much nicer footstep sound.

My leather soled shoes are very comfortable (after breaking them in, of course). I dislike rubber soled shoes. I have overshoes for bad weather.
