Abstract: Described are soles for a shoe with a first sole element, and a second sole element comprising a textile material, wherein the second sole element is coupled to the first sole element and arranged to at least partially cover the first sole element. At least one of the first sole element and the second sole element include protrusions, wherein at least a portion of the second sole element is configured to contact an adjacent surface when the sole is attached to an upper. The portion of the second sole element that contacts the adjacent surface generates an amount of at least one of friction and traction between the sole and the adjacent surface, and the protrusions are configured to increase the amount of the at least one friction and traction generated between the sole and the adjacent surface.
