An iron equates to 1/48th of an inch.
The correct term is "soles," not "souls." Soles refer to the bottom part of a shoe that makes contact with the ground. The term likely comes from the Latin word "solum," which means "bottom" or "base."
A world without friction would be chaotic, as objects and people would have no way to stay in place or move efficiently. Tires and shoe soles would not be able to grip the ground, leading to accidents and difficulties in transportation. Knots would come undone easily, and nails would not stay in place, making construction and everyday tasks extremely challenging.
To measure the bottom of a shoe with spaces and gaps, you can use a flexible ruler or measuring tape to find the longest point from heel to toe. Measure the length of the shoe's sole in a straight line while accounting for any gaps or spaces by gently pressing the ruler or tape measure to connect the gaps. This will give you an accurate measurement of the bottom of the shoe.
When you stand still . . . The sole of your shoe exerts a downward force equal to your weight against the ground. The ground exerts an upward force equal to your weight against the sole of your shoe. The net force where the sole of your shoe meets the ground is zero, which is the reason that your shoe doesn't accelerate vertically.
Yes, shoes have friction. The soles of shoes are designed to provide traction and grip on different surfaces to prevent slipping or sliding while walking or running. Friction between the shoe sole and the ground is important for stability and safety.
Shoe soles are sold using a thickness measure called Iron and 1 Iron = 1/48" So 24 Iron = 24/48" or 1/2" And 6 Iron = 6/48" or 1/8"

Romans and Greeks used a "foot" as a measurement. English kings made an iron ruler to determine the exact measurement.

if your shoes didn't have soles, they would in effect be mocassins and you would wear the bottoms off them in a week or two.
Yes there are. Tap shoes without soles make the shoe more flexible so you can stand on your toes.
