Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: کف
Greetings,

Most confusing, this: after having finally got it clear in my mind that ‘sole’ as a body part is ‘کف با’ and that ‘sole’ as part of a shoe is ‘تخت’, I find the following:
کف آن از کهنه‌های کرباس و دوال ساخته می‌شد.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Explanation:
As it is for گیوه, it refers to "sole"! I have not seen any insoles for گیوهs!

insole/the bottom part


Explanation:
it depends on the context and what آن refers to. even OUTSOLE can be another option though in this context and with these materials, it is less probable.
