BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an outsole, and more particularly to an outsole that is light in weight. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] With reference to FIG. 4, an outsole (40) of a conventional shoe is made of rubber and has a rough upper surface (41). Multiple rubber lugs (not numbered) are evenly formed on a bottom of the outsole (40) and in alignment with each other. The outsole (40) is then received in a mould and an inner sole (50) is directly formed on the outsole (40) with an EVA foaming method. [0005] In a shoe, the outsole (40) contacts the ground, the inner sole (50) is mounted on the outsole (40), and an insert (not shown) is mounted on the inner sole and contacts a user's sole. [0006] However, disadvantages of the conventional sole are described as follows: [0007] 1. The manufacturing procedure of a conventional sole is complicated. An outsole must first be put into a mould and an inner sole is then formed directly on the outsole. [0008] 2. The outsole is completely made of rubber, which is heavy and contributes to the weight of a shoe. [0009] Therefore, the invention provides an outsole to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] The main objective of the present invention is to provide an outsole that is easy to produce and is light in weight. [0011] Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0012] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an outsole in accordance with the present invention; [0013] FIGS. 2A is an exploded perspective view of the outsole in FIG. 1; [0014] FIG. 2B is an enlarged side view of the cloth in FIG. 2A; [0015] FIG. 3 is a block flow diagram of the manufacturing steps for the outsole in accordance with the present invention; and [0016] FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of manufactunng steps of a conventional outsole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT [0017] With reference to FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B, an outsole has a layer of cloth (10), an adhesive layer (20) and multiple rubber lugs (30). [0018] The adhesive layer (20) is mounted on an upper end of the layer of cloth (10) and the multiple rubber lugs (30) are evenly mounted on a lower end of the layer of cloth (10) and in alignment with each other such that the outsole is flexible with a user's feet and to absorb shock. [0019] With reference to FIG. 3, the manufacturing steps of the outsole are described as follows: [0020] a. The layer of cloth (10) is prepared for immersion in PVL-PU liquid. Continue reading...
