Abstract: An outer sole for footware, having a rounded outer circumference and a plurality of concentric separate zones that are separated from one another by lanes which are incised into the sole. The lanes are incised from one side only and the side of the sole opposite that one side is covered with an adhesive layer for adhesion to the underside of footwear. The adhesive layer is covered by a protective foil adapted to be peeled off before the sole is applied to footwear.
