Did you step on a pop top? As to the soles of these I'm wondering if Barge Cement mixed with Tire Dust from a re-tread operation would make an acceptable sole for these sandals. Heck, Nike' started with the founder using a waffle iron and some sort of rubber. I know this fellow in Winston, Oregon uses the Tire dust on his custom mocs and boots. http://www.sodhoppers.com Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members JefferyL Posted January 14, 2012 Members Report Posted January 14, 2012 Couldn't you just get a thickness of natural rubber and put it on? Quote

But natural rubber is SPENDY! Cut-to-Length 36" Tan -20° to +180° F 3000 psi 41.84 Per Ft. They have smaller options but 3/16" x 12" x 12" in Tan is over $16 each and then you have to add shipping. I like my Tire dust better. FREE, and Recycled. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
