Abstract: Footwear with a sole formed from an elastomeric material whose grip is improved on ground where the interface may include an intermediate foreign substance, this sole comprising lugs (31) separated from each other by grooves (35). The walls of the grooves (35) are cut into the thickness of the elastomeric material and delimit patterns with sharp angles in the profile of said lugs (31) which can pierce said foreign substance to establish direct dry contact between the two surfaces. Each lug (31) forms a star-shaped pattern having at least five arms in the form of stems (32) distributed over its, profile and each stem (32) is orientated radially towards the outside of the pattern and terminates in an end. Each stem (32) is separated from its neighbor by a recess (38) in the profile of the lug. Finally, each lug (31) has a stem (32) engaged in a space of the adjacent groove (35) which is delimited by a recess (38) between two neighboring stems in the profile of a second lug neighboring the first lug.
