For this study, three-dimensional models of the soles of work shoes of different thicknesses and consisting of different materials were created. These models were analyzed to obtain the distribution of stress and strain on their surfaces. To build the model, we used experimental data on the shape and size of the sole, as well as the properties of specific materials used in the manufacture of soles for work shoes used in agriculture. The goal was to determine the most suitable material, that is, which of the materials has the most suitable characteristics for the sole, has the best wear resistance when used in agriculture. We noticed a significant reduction in deformations on the surface of the sole with an increase in the thickness of the sole, as well as when using two-component casting of the sole from a combination of materials: low-density EVA and flexible PU, medium-density EVA and soft PVC. This indicates their advantages and maximum suitability.

Modern polymer sole materials used in the molding of the sole in the production of shoes are considered. A qualitative analysis of the composition of the compositions used was carried out. The positive and negative characteristics of the resulting products are revealed. In the course of the analysis, a table was created comparing the characteristics of the materials considered for the optimal and effective choice of production material in the shoe industry.
