What is Lactae Hevea?

[Roger]

A pair of shoes on eBay are described as having lactae hevea soles. I gather that it's a sort of rubber sole. Can anyone describe it in a little more detail? How does it differ from the usual rubber sole? Is it more like crepe?

Thanks for that. Wow, had never heard of this. The shoes are Aldens by the way, but the picture doesn't show the soles.
