>calling them “gum soles” is a misnomer since the implication is that they are made from "natural gum" (a particular treatment of rubber). Most of these gum soles are actually made from polybutadiene, which is a product that comes out of processing oil. “Polybutadiene is one of the synthetics that most closely comes to the natural Isoprene rubber,” explains Jim Sears, but it is a very, very different material, and being a derivative of plastic, it’s certainly not natural in the same way rubber is.
