1/2 cup Canola Oil (or vegetable oil)
10 to 15 drops Peppermint Oil (find at health food store or health section of some grocery stores)
Paint this mixture onto the shoe bottoms with an old paintbrush.
Set the shoes on an old piece of cardboard or small stack of old papers OUTSIDE.
Let em sit outside for a few hours or a few days would be better and Voila! Gas smell is gone and you smell all minty fresh, baby !!
To reduce friction.

To reduce friction
Velcro, Compact Discs, and Rubber soled shoes.
The term "sneakers" originated in the late 1800s because the rubber soles of the shoes allowed wearers to move around quietly, "sneaking" without making noise. The name became popular and stuck as the popularity of rubber-soled shoes increased.
The basketball court can be extremely slippery, and leather soles quickly collect dirt and dust off the floorboards, transforming the shoes into a traction-free dustmop. Whereas the rubber sole doesn't attract particles, and are also easier to wipe down during the game. That is why you see players sliding their hands under their shoes to remove excess dust, dirt, etc.
tennis shoes were first introduced in the 1800's and were very basic rubber soled shoes.
Rubber soled shoes protect you from an electric shock is because they are insulators of electricity. Insulators are not conductors of electricity.they prevent you from getting electric shocked as current can't pass through them....(Not so sure.)
Horse-Racing!
to make them comfortable and not to get any blood on them either
It is not. Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not let an electric current pass through it.
A good leather-soled slipper will sting much more.
