Abstract
An adhesive composition for use in a shoe outsole assembly, and methods of forming the same are provided. In one aspect, the adhesive composition has a fabric layer with an adhesive applied to a top surface. In another aspect, the adhesive composition has a fabric layer with a barrier layer applied to a top surface, and an adhesive is applied to the barrier layer opposite to the fabric layer. The shoe outsole formed using the adhesive composition has the fabric material directly bonded with the outsole material such that the outsole material partially penetrates into the fabric. An adhesive is applied to the opposite side of the fabric or to the optional barrier layer which is on the opposite side of the fabric. This adhesive may then be used to bond the outsole to a shoe, such as a shoe upper, shoe midsole, and the like.
