A thick-soled shoe is a type of footwear that has a thicker sole than regular shoes. The most common types of thick-soled shoes are clogs, sabots, and platforms. Clogs are a type of shoe with a wooden or synthetic sole and an upper made of leather, fabric, or plastic. Sabots are a type of shoe with a thick sole and a low heel, usually made of wood or rubber. Platforms are a type of shoe with a thick sole and a raised heel, often made of foam or rubber. All of these types of shoes provide extra cushioning and support for the feet.
