I think No, plastic is not a better insulator even compared to rubber shoes...
Another Answer
Your question is a little like asking, "Is metal a better conductor than a electrolyte?". The reason for this is that there are lots of different types of plastic and various types of rubber. Without knowing exactly which sort of plastic, and what type of rubber, there is no way of knowing which is the better insulator.

How long does it take for shoes to decompose in the environment?
Shoes can take up to 50 years to decompose in the environment due to their synthetic materials like rubber and plastic.
What are the disadvantages of plastic shoes?
Plastic shoes can be uncomfortable because they do not breathe well, leading to sweaty feet and potential odor issues. They are also not as durable as other materials, and can be prone to cracking or breaking easily. Additionally, plastic shoes are not environmentally friendly, as they are not biodegradable and contribute to plastic pollution.
Is it true that Rubber-soled shoes and rubber tires provide protection from lightning?
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.
How is wearing rubber soled shoes an example of electric charge?
It is not. Rubber is a bad conductor of electricity so it does not let an electric current pass through it.
Why we do not get electric shock when we wore rubber slippers?
Electric current only flows in a circuit, for you to receive a shock you have to be part of that circuit. In your example you are refering to mains to earth shock, mains will cicuit to earth only if it is connected to earth. Connection, bare wire- bare feet-earth will complete the circuit, rubber shoes or gloves will not. Do not try it, I have been working with electricity for 55 yrears or more. I am still alive today, because I do not trust naked electricity anytime, anyplace. All electrical must be carried out with that circuit isolated from the mains and not reconnected 'till complete.
Is wood a better insulator compared to rubber shoes?
No.
What is a better insulator a kitchen counter or rubber shoes?
You'd be safer not to rely on either as an insulator.
Why does lightning not effect rubber shoes?
Rubber is an insulator, meaning that it does not conduct electricity very well. When lightning strikes, the electrical current follows the path of least resistance, which is usually a conductor like metal. Rubber shoes do not conduct electricity, so the lightning does not pass through them to reach the ground.

Why do electricians wear rubber types shoes when climbing electric poles?
Rubber is an insulator, so it prevents the flow of electricity. Electricians typically wear shoes with rubber soles so they don't get electricuted.
