If you can’t afford the $14 for this patch, just try duct tape. [...] [...] The ReSkin cycling patch is also reusable, just like gauze pads, cardboard milk cartons, and car tires turned into shoes.

They’re using old, ground-up tires to pad their shoes’ insoles. It’s just like Nike Air, except they use old tires instead of air—so just like Nike Air. Splaff and Simple are using car tires as outsoles, but Flat Tire Footwear doesn’t go so far. Flat Tire only uses the tires to provide springy padding, so you might be helping save the environment a little, but it’s not like you can go and dump motor oil down the storm drain after buying a pair of these.

Currently, Simple makes only their effeminate-looking men’s Stop Global Warming Toepeeka flip-flops with car tire outsoles and other post-consumer waste, and Simple ships the sandals without stuffing in a biodegradable bag. It sounds like they’ll be expanding the car tire outsoles to their presently all-natural Toe Foo line. Simple says they can make six size-10 sandals from one car tire. I wonder if car tire sandals float. I bet they work okay as a fire starter. [...] [...] The shoemakers at Simple are joining Splaff Flopps in making sandals from old car tires this summer.
