• activating the uncured or partially cured foxing tape, wherein the uncured or partially cured foxing tape is a two-layer structure of a base foxing tape and an uncrosslinked or partially crosslinked adhesive, wherein the base foxing tape comprises an uncured or partially cured rubber, wherein the uncured or partially cured foxing tape has a first side and a second side opposite the first side, wherein the uncrosslinked or partially crosslinked adhesive is in contact with the uncured or partially cured rubber on the second side of the uncured or partially cured foxing tape, wherein the uncrosslinked or partially crosslinked
• adhesive comprises:
• an uncured or partially cured rubber;
• a tackifying resin;
• and
• a filler;
• disposing, at a junction at the point of contact between an upper member and an uncured or partially cured shoe structure, the uncured or partially cured foxing tape on a first part of the perimeter of the footwear on the junction so that the uncured or partially cured foxing tape is disposed on a first part of the upper member and on a first part of the uncured or partially cured shoe structure along the junction, wherein a portion of the uncured or partially cured foxing tape comprising the adhesive is adjacent a first part of the upper member, a first part of the uncured or partially cured shoe structure, and the junction;
• and curing the article to form a cured rubber shoe including the cured rubber foxing tape and a cured rubber shoe structure, wherein the cured rubber sole structure and upper member are bonded together at least in part by crosslinks formed between the cured rubber of the foxing tape and the cured rubber of the shoe structure.
