1. A shoe comprising an outsole, the outsole intended to be ground-contacting, where the outsole is comprised of a rubber composition comprised of, based on parts by weight per 100 parts by weight elastomer (phr):
(A) conjugated diene-based elastomer comprising:
(1) from about 20 to about 45 phr of high Tg styrene/butadiene elastomer (SSBR) pre-extended with vegetable triglyceride oil, wherein said SSBR has a Tg in a range of from about −20° C. to about +10° C. and a bound styrene content in a range of from about 25 to about 50 percent and a vinyl 1,2-content in a range of from about 10 to about 80 percent based on butadiene content,
(2) from 55 to about 80 phr of at least one additional conjugated diene-based elastomer comprising of at least one of polybutadiene, cis 1,4-polyisoprene rubber, and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and combinations thereof, and
(B) about 20 to about 70 phr of reinforcing filler comprised of a combination of rubber reinforcing carbon black and precipitated silica where the reinforcing filler is comprised of from about 50 to about 100 weight percent precipitated silica.
