What is the sole of a shoe/boot made of?

Question

i'm going to make a pair of boots for myself, by crocheting, because regular shoes dont fit my feet... i need to know how to make the sole of the boot so its semi strong and isn't as flimsy as a piece of cardboard. Help please!

Answer 1

Soles can be made of leather, cork, rubber, and even wood (clogs).

Maybe convert a pair of flip flops? Or an old tire might work. I wouldn't use car tires since thay have metal cables embedded, & would be hard to work with. Maybe those big tires used on wheel barrows.

Good luck!
