sheowahya Report post Posted November 30, 2007 I have decided to make a pair of sandals for Christamas presents this year. I would like to make the sole a good, thick, cusiony, non-skid, rubber material, for use by the pool. I've done some surfing, but haven't found what I'm looking for. Of course, I'm not 100% sure of what the technical term is that I should be using. Any suggestions are most welcome. Cheers Marilyn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luke Hatley Report post Posted November 30, 2007 hey there, go to the shoe repair shop in your local, hope there is still one left in your area. tell him what you need and he just might have the shoe soles that you will need . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beaverslayer Report post Posted December 1, 2007 Marilyn, What I've used to make the soles for moccassins is what's known as CREPE. It's a natural rubber and is very good for traction around the pool, or anywhere else for that matter. It will sew on with most any machine, or you can hand stitch it if you like. I'm not sure if Tandy still carries it, I used to get it from a company here in Calgary Called "Halford Hides" Hope this helps. Ken Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
