Makes a lot of sense, particularly when you see the prices of a high quality boot sole. Recycles tires, saves money.

The most brilliant innovation to robust shoe re-sole

Vibram soles cost nearly as much as a small auto tire, so this makes a lot of sense

finally wore threw the soles on mine... snow hit and reminded me tread is nice... I might try this...

Excellent job. this is exactly what i was doing in the last days on my pair of crocs that needed a new sole. I made the mistake of trying to make a sole with the tyre and the metal wiring, unnecessary and too much work for no reason. Remember, always but the tyre above the metal wiring inside, you don't need that metal!

The glue is the secret ???

Riding mower tires work good, no steel belts, use a bandsaw.

the rubber is harvested above the steel belt.

If you’re going to use an icy areas, you could probably even make some makeshift hobnails by short sheet metal screws that could be added and removed as needed

good and great job ; but what kind of glue you use for sealing the rubber tie part to the shoe sole

Thank you for the lesson I give this video a thumbs up. I've been thinking about making boots out of car tires, I know more or less how to do it but I need tips and tricks.

It should

1:48 I bet that smells AWESOME.

I wonder if it would save some trouble to run a grinder with a diamond blade around the tire on both sides an inch in from the sidewall, on the tread, to make the only job left to do being the cutting away with the knife? Also what is the difference of a winter tyre. Here Down Under we only have normal tires, not much snow around at all. Are winter tires softer?

the other "Goodyear welt"

What type of glue are you using ? And do you do a stitch down or just glue ?

the most important thing is the glue. You should say a word about it. If people use common shoe glue it wont work. It's some kind of tire vulcanizer, isnt it?

Agreed. Shoe goo sucks. It will turn white and seperate within a year. Cyano acetates just turn hard and crack fast. Old school rubber cement, vulcanizing cement or yellow contact cement will last much longer but I still havent found one to be forever permenant if mixing leather and rubber, but so far these have worked best for me. Be sure to clean everything real good before gluing with a brush and water then alcohol, it makes a big difference.

What glue / contact cement are you using ? You skipped that part. Great video and thanks !

I'll be honest, never in my life have I thought about using tire tread for boot soles. I might just do this to my old steel toes, knew it was a good idea not to throw out those tires just because of that hole in em.

Really great idea. I'm guessing its much harder rubber than standard shoe soles. Did you find that they were more slippery than other soles?

@diypppalain

5 жыл бұрын

actually, winter tires are much softer than the original vibram. Some such as Blizzak have silica in the rubber. On of the problem was the distance between thread was capturing snow instead of releasing it. this is due to a flattened rubber as opposed to circular rubber. So a tire groover can open up the thread after application to fix this problem.

Hello, wouldn’t it be better to glue with polyurethane glue type windshield glue or sikaflex pro? Unlike the neoprene glue this would ensure more water tightness? Thank you for the video this is excellent. Regards, jean

Can only walk forward using that logic. "Arrow" points away from direction of travel. If opposite the debris would build up in V and loose traction. When it points away from direction of travel the tread is self cleaning.
