A method of molding an outsole for footwear, comprising: providing a first portion of a first thermosetting elastomer composition comprising a first free-radically curable elastomer and a first free radical initiator and a second portion of a second thermosetting elastomer composition comprising a second free-radically curable elastomer and a second free radical initiator, wherein the first thermosetting elastomer composition is different from the second thermosetting elastomer composition, and wherein the first free-radically curable elastomer and the second free-radically curable elastomer are selected from polyisoprene, polybutadiene, styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, butadiene-propylene copolymers, butadiene-ethylene copolymers, butadiene-isoprene copolymers, isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, brominated isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-diene copolymers, isoprene-isobutylene copolymers, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, fluorocarbon elastomers, and combinations thereof; inserting the first portion into a mold cavity of a mold that is at a first temperature T1, wherein T1 is above the glass transition temperature of the first elastomer and wherein the first free radical initiator has a half-life at T1 of at least about ten minutes; heating and molding the first portion to fill a first area of the mold cavity wherein the first temperature T1 is selected so that the first thermosetting elastomer molded at T1 has an increase in torque that is less than 10% of a total increase in torque realized at full cure; inserting the second portion into the mold cavity at the first temperature T1; closing the mold; heating the mold to heat the first and second portions to a second temperature T2 and curing the first and second portions; and opening the mold and removing the outsole for footwear; wherein the second portion is heated and molded to fill a second area of the mold cavity either at T1 or during or after heating the mold to T2 and wherein the first free radical initiator and the second free radical initiator may be the same or different and, if the same, has or, if different, each independently has a half-life at T2 of up to about one minute. providing a first portion of a first thermosetting elastomer composition comprising a first free-radically curable elastomer and a first free radical initiator and a second portion of a second thermosetting elastomer composition comprising a second free-radically curable elastomer and a second free radical initiator, wherein the first thermosetting elastomer composition is different from the second thermosetting elastomer composition, and wherein the first free-radically curable elastomer and the second free-radically curable elastomer are selected from polyisoprene, polybutadiene, styrene-butadiene copolymers, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymers, butadiene-propylene copolymers, butadiene-ethylene copolymers, butadiene-isoprene copolymers, isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, brominated isobutylene-isoprene copolymers, ethylene-propylene-diene copolymers, isoprene-isobutylene copolymers, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, chlorinated and chlorosulfonated polyethylenes, fluorocarbon elastomers, and combinations thereof; inserting the first portion into a mold cavity of a mold that is at a first temperature T1, wherein T1 is above the glass transition temperature of the first elastomer and wherein the first free radical initiator has a half-life at T1 of at least about ten minutes; heating and molding the first portion to fill a first area of the mold cavity wherein the first temperature T1 is selected so that the first thermosetting elastomer molded at T1 has an increase in torque that is less than 10% of a total increase in torque realized at full cure; inserting the second portion into the mold cavity at the first temperature T1; closing the mold; heating the mold to heat the first and second portions to a second temperature T2 and curing the first and second portions; and opening the mold and removing the outsole for footwear; wherein the second portion is heated and molded to fill a second area of the mold cavity either at T1 or during or after heating the mold to T2 and wherein the first free radical initiator and the second free radical initiator may be the same or different and, if the same, has or, if different, each independently has a half-life at T2 of up to about one minute.
