Not really, its the demise of the material. I had some so called rubber
soled shoes that went this way.
You may be able to seal it for a while I suppose but the rubber eventually
degrades to a kind of gooey liquid.

We have a nice pair of "rubberised" binoculars, but the "rubber" has
recently become quite sticky to the touch. Washing up liquid and other
gentle cleaners have had no effect.

Any other possible ways of removing the stickiness? (Apart from angle
grinders, of course).
