The invention relates to a method for producing a sole (1) or a sole part of a shoe (2), in particular a sports shoe. In order to obtain a lightweight shoe which has good recovery properties, the invention provides the steps of: a) producing plastic bodies (3) whose extent (a, b, c) in the three spatial directions is between 2 mm and 15 mm, preferably between 3 mm and 9 mm, the plastic bodies (3) being made of foamed urethane-based thermoplastic elastomer (TPU, E-TPU, TPE-U) and / or based on polyether block amide (PEBA); b) introducing the plastic body (3) into a mold having a cavity which corresponds to the shape of the sole (1) or the sole part to be produced; c) connecting the plastic body (3) which lie against one another in the mold to one another, wherein a binder is introduced into the molding tool for joining and / or heat is applied to the plastic body (3) for bonding. |
