Why do the soles of our shoes wear out?

Open in App

Solution

The friction effect causes the soles of shoes to wear out. The friction between the shoe and the floor is increased by the soles of shoes. The soles make the shoes' surface rough. When we walk on the road, contact between the soles of our shoes and the road occurs to prevent slipping. As a result of the friction, the road wears out the soles.
