I've made these exact turnshoes Jason is working on and believe this man when he said they're the most comfortable shoes you'll ever wear,they are extremely comfortable I have degenerative disc and wearing these has made pain go from 100% to 15 to 20% just in a few days time,hands down my favorite shoes,thank you for the videos sir
I've been barefoot for over 7 years, and won't go back to wearing any footwear at all unless the environment demands it. Concrete, gravel, high-altitude acacia and cactus scrub forests, these are my usual haunts, and although I still haul with me once or twice a year a pair of Sanuks when i go to an especially dense cactus cover or a social event where i think they might have heart attacks if i enter barefoot... But my Sanuks are still essentially brand-new... they just ride along and then go back to the shelf at the end of such days.
I have a few comments to make here:
I could have saved myself so much discomfort in my pre-barefoot years if i had goop-soled turnshoes like the ones this maestro makes. Fie on my intervening ancestry for forgetting how to make these after leaving the fjordlands.
Selah.
Tire 'rubber' is only roughly 40% rubber (half natural, half synthetic), and the remaining 60% or so is a carefully-guarded mystery brew loaded with heavy (toxic) metals. I'm not a chemist, but my concern for the shoemaker here is even more about that dust than about the obviously toxic glue. Here in southern Mexico i haven't found any laboratory that can test my blood for a wide array of cumulotoxins like heavy metals, so i don't know how much lead and arsenic and cadmium and 6PPD i'm absorbing through my feet. As mentioned in the following article from Yale, the dust along the roadsides is often very fine particulate matter measuring in the nanometers, and that size particle can go right through the skin.
Maybe Nick Molden, being CEO of a group called 'Emissions Analytics' is just some dude who gets paid to scare people. Here's a quote from him:
“We have shown that the amount of off-gassing volatile organic compounds is 100 times greater than that coming out of a modern tailpipe,” said Molden. “This is from the tire just sitting there.”

Maybe he's just using scare tactics. Or maybe his assessment should give California voters pause when they hear that their government is demanding that an industry replace a currently irreplaceable chemical in a short period of time... Do these top-down efforts ever produce results that are less harmful to the environment? Who's to say 6PPD's replacement will be less toxic? Isn't it just as likely that it'll be more so, but harder to measure and therefor become adopted for decades before there's another one of these Oh Shit moments in the scientific community?
Desperate times call for desperate measures, they say. But i prefer to exhale, and leave desperation to actors.
Wishing you could see my feet. A common statement from young women is that my feet look better than theirs, and they can't believe the absence of evidence of maltreatment. (Well, maybe they don't realise how dangerous the dust coating on my feet could be. And it's a good thing i don't realise it either, or i wouldn't get a wink of sleep. And yeah, i religiously bathe my feet after a saunter through the streets.)
C'est la vie...?
So even though the previous question about whether this was a 'historical' method is fair game for comedy, it's also worth digging deeper into the creative wellspring of human experience and imagination to seek some alternative to tire dust. For now, the tires are being made, they're being used, they're being discarded, and reusing the material for its intended purpose (albeit in the lower-impact scenario of foot placement) is a perfectly good thing to do. Just please, read a bit and decide if you want to use gloves and a respirator.
C'est ta mort.
Finally, arch support.
Ha! Yes, going from shoes with arch support to any so-called barefoot shoes will require a significant amount of adaptation. Be gentle. Be persistent, and be gentle.
Demanding too much, on the one hand, or giving up with the first discomfort, on the other, are recipes for failure. Follow the inherent wisdom of the body. Don't just yawn with your mouth; Do it with your whole body several times a day. I know of no Chinese martial art more efficient in reawakening the body's inherent wisdom than simply yawning with your whole body, from your scalp to your toes. Do this zealously, and laugh at the naysayers.
"All humans are born with a low arch, and most develop a fully adult configuration of the LA [longitudinal arch] by 10-12 years of life."
- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5829167/
That study tests two areas of concern related to shoes, the arch support and the toe box, which, as structures limiting the range of motion of the foot, also limit its potential development.
I haven't read the whole study yet, but it appears on first glance to be of excellent quality. There are marks of humility and genuine curiosity in the abstract, and they didn't waste time using just any old population to compare the control group to ... they went straight to the world's foremost runners, the Rarámuri.
"Taken altogether, these studies suggest foot strength is related to the low incidence of flat foot in habitually barefoot and minimally-shod populations20-24,28,33, and also suggest the possibility that flat foot can be treated by switching to minimal footwear that does not restrict the natural motion of the foot."
If the lingo of a scientific study isn't your style, you might appreciate a music video showcasing one of their champions who, admittedly, isn't barefoot in the video but is sporting some blue plastic sandals that would give conniptions to most trainers. They appear to be a semi-rigid plastic with narrow wedge-shaped soles and no arch support.

As Jorge Drexler says, 'no tenemos pertenencias, sino equipaje'. We don't have belongings, but baggage. If you're weighed down by your shoes, or by your worries, why not set aside both?
I don't worry about the rubber on my feet. I just wash my feet at the end of each day, and if i ever make a pair of these for a friend, i'll wear gloves at least when handling the shredded tires, and an old mask from back in the day when They forced us all to buy those silly things.
We all select how we're going to die based on how we live. Sometimes fate seems to pick another death, but usually not.
Así es, amigos.
Who noticed that the Yale Environment article i linked above about tire pollution is written by the author of a book on what birds are telling us? Jon would be proud. Grandfather would be proud. Tom would probably fart a verbal witticism.
Thanks for the goop formula! It opens a lot of opportunities in diy shoe making!
Nothing like ruining a pair of moccasins by putting an added sole glued to those beautiful moccasins
Original moccasins are made for Nature, the rubber helps to walk on the not so natural concrete and pavement!
Cool! This is a clever way to add rubber to a shoe's sole. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Question: What do you think about the idea of using FlexSeal instead?
Flex seal wears down super fast. I used some on a pair of leather moccasins to try as a bottom building up layers I used a full can for the pair and it just didn’t last.
@@kevinjnaquin11 Thank you for the knowledge!
This vdo is not upload 8th month ago. I think the vdo years ago uploaded. Now a days I don't no how are you. Loving sir. Love from Pakistan.
Thanks for sharing this instruction on the channel! Always interesting!
My first download video. Love from Pakistan.
Брат из чего клей и добавки, хочу сшить ичиги на охоту, хантер. И нитки заклеить этой массой
Interesting! I've never seen this before. Is there a clear functional advantage over fitting a soft "normal" sole? Does this stick better to the shoe? Or is the major thing that it's easier and a more accessible way for a DIYer than gluing on a whole sole? I can see that this gouping can follow the shape around the edges, and protect them, in a good way. I'm also very curios about the grip on snow and ice. I guess that has a lot to do with the properties of the glue.
What's the reasoning for not making the sole out of rubber, solid rubber, instead of leather with goo?
It's a turnshoe. You can't stitch a sole on it.
Did you invent this technique? I’m having trouble finding more information on it!
Disculpe.
Qué es esa mezcla negra?.
Cómo se pega?.
Instead of using the rubber goop, is possible to add another layer of leather to the sole? I am wanting leather soled shoes.
It's difficult with a turnshoe. You can stitch a midsole before you assemble it and glue a rubber sole to that.
What's ideal dry temperature range for this mix? Also, have you worked with pliobond?
Hola voy. A hacerlos gracias. Desde argentina
Is this method historical?
😂
Why is that funny? I feel like its a good question
Damn he dunked on your ass, not even a polite answer, straight up humiliated you. How's that feeling bud?
Sure, dude, those Vikings had rubber tires
@@bewilderbeastie8899 maybe not rubber, but maybe they did something similar with sap or tar or some other material, and this is a modern version. Is that so weird to imagine?
haha, the Bernie sander

It's an interesting idea, but I only see one potential problem. There is no arch support. In fact it's kind of negative arch support. It might cause extra stress on the tendons in and around the ankle. And make it easier to strain the joint in periods of long wear.
It's a barefoot shoe. When all your toes are in the right places and the ligaments go back where they're supposed to be you can build strength in your foot and you don't need arch support.
Arch support is not good for your feet at all, countries that still use handmade shoes or commonly don’t wear shoes have much healthier feet on average.
Agreed. Flat feet means horseshittinllgly bad knees.
Sure some people can adapt but most people not only cannot but they will damage their knees since they aren't professional or unconsciously competent at movement.
Having said that, arch supports in side a shoe like this would do wonders and is a fair compromise between supporting the foot and dropping the heel.
I love this idea of a shoe
Im young and alway avoided arch support, my legs are healthy and have more muscle than most other people.
But's it's mostly about the pointed tip of the shoes, many people in my family have horribly deformed feet and cannot even run anymore at 40 year old.
Quote from I don't really know where, but I think it's good and thorough, and cover the archers specifically: "When discussing the effects of poor arch support in shoes, the issue primarily arises when someone who has been accustomed to supportive shoes suddenly transitions to unsupportive or minimalist shoes or frequently goes barefoot. In these cases, the foot muscles and arch might initially struggle to adapt to the new environment.
The concept here is that individuals who have relied heavily on shoes with significant arch support or those that limit natural foot movement might have weakened intrinsic foot muscles. When suddenly exposed to minimal support or barefoot walking, their feet might experience discomfort or strain as the muscles that support the arch aren't accustomed to bearing weight or providing stability without external support.
However, over time, walking barefoot or wearing shoes with minimal arch support can indeed help strengthen the intrinsic foot muscles, including those responsible for maintaining the arch. This can lead to improved foot strength, stability, and potentially a more robust arch in the long term." Please also see my response to a sub-comment, regarding general training of the feet (mostly from a beginner's perspective).
