Abstract: A vulcanized rubber article which comprises a vulcanized rubber layer, and non-porous and homogenized thermoplastic polyurethane layer(s) having an average thickness of 0.02-1.0 mm on at least one surface of the vulcanized rubber layer, said polyurethane layer(s) being integrally fused to the vulcanized rubber and the peeling strength between the rubber layer and the polyurethane layer being at least 1.2 kg/cm, and a process for production thereof. The article simplifies the process for production of shoes and makes the control of the process of production readily, and provide a final production having an excellent flexibility, flexing resistance, friction resistance, oil resistance, cleavage resistance against ozone and the like.
