How thick can the sole of a dress shoe be?
What is the normal thickness of a dress shoe's leather sole? When does it start to be too thin or too bulky? Would people wear thicker soles in winter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hofhof (talk • contribs) 21:06, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

 * This site about dress shoes gives average thickness of leather for various parts of shoes, saying the leather outsole averages about 12 oz (3/16 inch).  SemanticMantis (talk) 01:01, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Or just under 5 mm in common units. Fgf10 (talk) 08:27, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I should make a habit of using the convert template: 3/16 inch which produces: 3/16 inch. Understandably, it does not work for converting ounces to inches or millimeters :D SemanticMantis (talk) 18:26, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
