I don't know how I stumbled upon your page, but I'm so glad I did. I cannot find a pair of shoes that fit or feel right to save my life. I've bought leather, cutters, and other stuff to make them...but could not find a way to make a proper sole. I told a friend I was going to make my own shoes, she said..."Pshhhh, yeah right". I'll show her now. Thank you so much...!
I enjoyed your video. I want to use your design to make custom surf shoes. My 1 problem is that the bottoms need some tread so I don't slide off the board. any ideas?

Hi Cheri, I'd like to buy one of your pattern on Etsy, but then how can i buy rubber sole in Italy? taxes importing from USA are really TOO expansive....
Hi Cheri Is it possible do that with Rubber tires sole? I'm trying to bond upper (fabric, denim) with sole (Rubber tires). Could you, please, help me what kind of glue should I use to do it perfectly?
The main reason I would like to make my own shoes is I have wide feet. I would like to be able to have comfortable shoe wear. Do your patterns include a wider foot version? or instructions on how to alter for a fatter foot?
I just bought this molding from your store, I am still practicing to get my soft sole shoes to fit the way I won't, then I'll I'll mold the soleing, I'm so exciting, my 12 yr old is skeptical, heehee
Cheri, I purchased the black 1/4" sole with diamond bottom for tread. Is this the sole material to mold onto the shoe or do I need to purchase something else.
Oh wow, I would love to try and make barefoot shoes like that with the moldable sole. Is anything like that for sale in holland/europe you think? It costs 49 to get it shipped to my country from e-bay.
did you find something similar? i am in germany and would like to get this solings too.. the trader does not mention the material in the description :(
I can only find Sole Tech rubber soles on amazon, it says that I can mold those too. Have you hear of or used this brand of sole? And if so, does it work?
Jarine Edwards Hello Jarine. I created a page on my blog with links to where you can find it here: blog.livingdiystyle.com/14-moldable-soling-sheets-for-shoe-making
Hello Mohamed. I give the link to my store under the video. UA-cam does not allow outside links in comments, so I can give you the link in this comment. Please look right below "like" button for the link. Thank you.
It's been many years since I made this video and many years since I used this method, but from what I remember it's not too bad for about 2 minutes, after that the smell does increase a bit
It would be very difficult to get a good fit just by molding them by hand without molding them to your foot. Your best bet would be to have someone mold it for you. Sorry to hear about your situation.
So HERES a question How can a person make MILSPEC boots and attach the solew...the upper is already figured out I just want to attach a heavy cleated durable sole...The endgame is to use my skills as a sculptor to make Reebok "Bugstomper" "Combat" boots using molded strapping to accentuate the SC Fi ness of the idea.
There are so many variables when making boots/shoes. Did you mold the shoe on a last or is it completely sewn? If it is sewn to a fabric type sole and the seam is on the outside, you could glue the boot to the sole and then sew around the outside.
I am still figuring it out I am having a pair of Klingon boots made and I have 3D modeled soles for printing them, now I want to know out of what? Like a maniacal Vibram sole. Only 2" taller with my high arches.
I love the idea of having custom made shoes.

Did you ever create your own Shoes? How Was the experience?
Love it. Imagine if everyone had custom shoes. Oh the expression in the streets!
Love your comment Hasheem! You get where I'm coming from!
Sheem Halim I could help to do that
This is amazing. I paid a ton of money for just the insole to insert into my shoe. This is so easy and honestly, who knew? This is genius, thank you!
You're welcome, Linda. It takes a little practice, but it's well worth it in the end. It's so nice to have customized soles for your arch.
You can do it Shannon! I'm so glad I have this product to offer, so many people love it!
How are the shoes made?? I like the design you used for them before placing the sole on
It's so help full to someone make especial. Thanks all
So glad you found it helpful Swopon Ahmed!
you did a gorgeous job Cheri!!!
Thank you Messad!!!
Quem material foi usado para fazer o solado?
What kind of texture fabrics can you use to make shoes
I enjoyed your video. I want to use your design to make custom surf shoes. My 1 problem is that the bottoms need some tread so I don't slide off the board. any ideas?
Is this type of sole flexible and movable when wearing or is it hard?
I bought this EVA for hurache sandals. I didn't even know they could be heat molded! Thank you!
This is awesome! I'd love to make all my stuff.
You're welcome AkuaLezli, sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Thank you for your patience:)
This is amazing! But does the sole tend to compress and get crushed down when you put your weight on the arch? Or will it strongly hold my arch up?

Hi Cheri
Is it possible do that with Rubber tires sole?
I'm trying to bond upper (fabric, denim) with sole (Rubber tires). Could you, please, help me what kind of glue should I use to do it perfectly?
I would love to do/use this, but I'm paralyzed. Could i mold sufficiently by hand alone?
really cool.. never thought .. shoe making can be such a fun thing that too at home... incredible.. thanks for posting...
I'm glad this video has inspired you! Thanks for watching Nitin Kumar Parashar!
what kind of material you use for sole?
Deus abençoe sempre e sempre sua vida
Amazing 😮 look good.
The main reason I would like to make my own shoes is I have wide feet. I would like to be able to have comfortable shoe wear. Do your patterns include a wider foot version? or instructions on how to alter for a fatter foot?
Yes, all my adult shoe patterns illustrate and explain how to widen the shoes in the tutorial.
Wow that’s pretty cool. Are all plates from Soletech mouldable ? And is there also 3mm soles ?
No, not all. They have a cork/Eva blend that is also moldable, but it has no tread.
I just bought this molding from your store, I am still practicing to get my soft sole shoes to fit the way I won't, then I'll I'll mold the soleing, I'm so exciting, my 12 yr old is skeptical, heehee
Do you think it possible to make some shoes for cosplay using this method? Also is possible you can make a shoe with a heel on it?
