Rubber is an insulator, so lightning cannot effect rubber shoes.
Not really. Someone standing in a field with a metal rod will still get struck by lightning even if they are wearing rubber soles.
Maybe, maybe not. Rubber shoes (such as rubber boots) can help prevent electrocution because rubber has a high resistance to the flow of electricity. Electricity needs a path to the ground, so if it can't get through your feet, then you won't be electrocuted. However, it's important to note that while rubber has a very high impedance, this doesn't mean it's invincible to electricity. Lightning carries an extremely high voltage. High-voltage electricity can arc - jump from one place to another. If, for example, you're standing near a grounded object and you're struck by lightning while wearing rubber boots, the lightning could strike you and then arc to the nearby object, thus electrocuting you. If someone has been electrocuted by an electrical outlet and you need to pull them away from the source, you could use rubber boots while standing on a newspaper and then use a wooden pole to push them away from the outlet before attempting rescue and resuscitation. However, if you're outside in a lightning storm, rubber boots or no, it's best to get into a safe structure and get out of the open.
yeeee :)
Lightning is just basically the visual effect of electricity itself that is produced on you. Lightning is electricity!

No. If the outside of the rubber is wet, the extremely high voltage electricity can be conducted around the rubber. Also, most consumer grade rubber boots or shoes do not provide enough insulation for even low household voltage protection, such as a flooded basement. Only certified and rated boots will offer any protection in such conditions. The metal body of the vehicle will protect you in case of a lightning strike. This phenomenon is called a faraday cage. The electricity will flow on the outside of a metal box, object or container.
thick rubber soles insulate - its not much protection from lightning, but better than being barefoot and standing in water.
Yes,the insluating effects of rubber are not high enough to protect you from lightning
Because Science!
no because the rubber tires repel lightning
rubber, the safest place to be in a thunder and lightning is in a car because of the rubber wheels.
Runnign shoes have flexible rubber soles to absorb impact.
golf shoes have rubber soles because it is a game played on the grass which needs to have stops at every step as rubber will increase the interlocking of friction, golf shoes have rubber soles

cpr and rubber
There are a few reasons for the practice of wearing rubber shoes while working in a hospital. Rubber shoes are very comfortable and are washed easily in case blood is spilled on them.
