to increase friction
Oxygen creates a fire hazard (oxygen does not burn in itself, but it makes other things burn). In an environment where there is excess oxygen, you have to avoid sparks, including those caused by static electricity. And rubber soles on shoes, rubbing against a carpet, are a major source of static electricity. So with the right kind of shoe covering, you can avoid that problem.

Rubber boots, or rubber soles on boots, is an insulator
Shoes leave black scuff marks primarily due to the rubber or synthetic materials used in their soles, which can transfer to surfaces like floors when pressure is applied. These marks occur regardless of the shoe's color because the scuffing material is often black or dark in hue. Additionally, the friction created when walking can break down the shoe's sole, releasing particles that adhere to surfaces. This is particularly noticeable on lighter-colored floors, where the contrast makes the marks more visible.

The grooves on the soles of shoes and boots are known as the treads. Running shoes may have spikes for grip on grass running tracks. Football boots have studs, also for grip on an often slippery, grass football pitch.
Point shoes (ballet) and tap shoes are examples of smooth-soled shoes.
Runnign shoes have flexible rubber soles to absorb impact.
Girls' shoes do sometimes have soles. But if they don't it is often because grown ups think it is more comfortable for the girls to be without soles on their shoes.
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
Rubber is commonly used to make the outer soles for shoes.
Wash your shoes.
Yes they do due to how much you walk on them. When your soles start wearing out it's time to get new shoes!!!!!!
soles of shoes are provided with design to increase friction
You need good soles so that they don't wear out too soon, or so that you don't slip. "Good soles" is relative; you need good soles on hiking boots, but not so much on dress shoes.
Yes there are. Tap shoes without soles make the shoe more flexible so you can stand on your toes.
