Some early climbing boots were nothing but alpineering boots with the soles replaced with smooth tread-less rubber. Later advances in material science has resulted in a variety of so-called sticky rubbers developed specifically for climbing.

I have heard that the original source was rubber designed for race cars, but I havent confirm this. Modern climbing rubber can now dramatically outperform even bare feet on average-textured rock.

Modern shoes also feature thinner rand rubber to protect the heel, toe, and sides. This not only protects the shoe from abrasion, but also aids in climbing cracks and in techniques such as toe-hooking and heel-hooking.

The margin around the bottom sole is ground down to a very precise edge. This edge is an extremely important property.

Softer rubber, while giving greater friction, suffers in the rigidity and precision of the edge, making soft rubber better for some types of climbing than others, and vice versa. Climbing rubber is ing increasingly popular on non-climbing shoes.

So-called approach shoes are hybrids between light-weight hiking shoes and climbing-shoes. They fortable enough to wear for long distances, yet also have sufficient traction on rock to make third-class scrambling on the approach to the foot of the crag easier.

Many kinds of river shoes also use sticky rubber due to its ability to retain traction even on wet rocks. The rubber is attached to the leather using barge cement.

This cement has the rare ability to bond to both rubber and leather very well. Some other glues are also capable of bonding to both materials, such as Shoe Goo, but these apparently dont work nearly as well.

Both surfaces are cleaned thoroughly with a solvent such as lacquer thinner or denatured alcohol. A very thin film is applied to both surfaces.

Note, it is important for the cement to be sufficiently liquid to penetrate the pores of the leather deeply. After the cement has been allowed to dry fully i.e.
