Not flip flops, but Jordan made some Jesu Christe sandals that were pretty cool.

You think the same type of pattern would work for flip flops?

If you have a drug store or some other convenience store near you they have $1.99 rubber flip flops, (in Hawaii we called them "rubbah slippahs" ) I have made some with using those soles as patterns and were able to get a general location for the toe and side pieces.

I used nylon webbing, vibram crepe, with a vibram power sole material. They are very strong. I don't have a picture or I would post it.

Look for some cheap ones to pattern after. I bought all sizes at Joannes fabric for .99 cents a pair

Thats a good idea! Im racking my brain trying to figure out how the toe and side pieces will stay put aswell as what to use for the sole. heavy veg tan?
