  @squashkin Yes, the similarity was in general "detachable protective layer" concept, not in details.
  As for re-soling (sorry, I don't know English term), it was quite common operation not so long ago, done by cobblers. I suppose its decline in popularity was due to falling cost of machine work in comparison to artisan's one; at some point it was just cheaper to get another pair of mass produced shoes.
  
  It wasn't real re-soling, though; the real sole, as construction element of shoe, was covered with a layer of leather or rubber, and only this layer was replaced; so, the real work was just to adjust the shape and apply a good glue.

  @squashkin Similar to original galoshes concept.
