The treads are too big. But because the composition is so dense I wonder if the treads can be modified with a Dremel so as to create a more human friendly tread pattern?<br /><br />Also, because the rubber is so dense, I wonder if holes could be countersunk in the treads and flat rivets used to secure the tire tread (along with contact cement) to the bottom of an otherwise decent leather boot?<br /><br />Just thinkin' out loud.ghostsniperhttp://www.deadcenter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-6904763767651250862016-05-31T18:06:56.346-07:002016-05-31T18:06:56.346-07:00Hi Jim,

I wonder if you could restitch them for improved durability? If it's bad soles, one thing that you might try is to add an additional sole to the boot and glue it with the Barge rubber cement. I actually do this with my cheap slip on Walmart shoes, because the soles are so thin that it hurts to step on the rocks lying about our yard. I made the soles from old tires.<br /><br />I'm going to see if I can come up with an improved variation on the simple tire sandal. I'm hoping for a complete rubber shoe when I'm done, that provides full protection to the feet. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-41396183957873455082016-05-31T08:51:59.677-07:002016-05-31T08:51:59.677-07:00here's a thought on modular shoe wear...

Walmart still gets a fair amount of my routine coin but it is up to me to get the best value for the dollar, and this requires more time on my part because the retailers are very cunning. Even with my deeper levels of scrutiny I get it stuck in my ass frequently. But worse is the online purchases, which I am cutting back on drastically. There is something to be said about seeing a perspective item with your own eyes and holding it in your own hands. The only people getting happy about online purchases, because they always win, are the shipping companies.<br /><br />So, my goal is to spend less, spend smart, and spend local.<br />Mama didn't raise a complete idiot over here, I can see the patterns when I'm focused on them. ghostsniperhttp://www.deadcenter.comnoreply@blogger.com
