Re-Sole Your Shoes

- This is an instructional video where I teach you to affix a old car tyre to your longboarding shoes.
Some things I didn't say in the video.
If you can't be bothered doing this, for a small fee, I can send you some rubber or do it for you. Message me on youtube if you would like this option.
Tyre selection: you should choose a well worn high performance tyre. If you choose a reasonably new tyre, your shoes will become platforms. Thinner still gives you good board feel under your foot. Don't choose a racing slick, if you do and you do a long footbrake, the tyre will heat up too much and give ridiculous amounts of grip, then, when you put your foot back on your board, the shoe will cool back down and you run the risk of your shoe gluing itself to the board with the melted rubber. High performance tyres are best.
Where to get a tyre: any car tyre shop will generally give away their old tyres, you can just ask them there.
Glue selection: you want a glue that will stay strong as it bends. Super glue dries solid and is virtually unbendable, whereas a good rubber glue stays strong as the shoe flexes.
Rubber is easier to cut when it is being stretched or bent.
EDIT
From reading the comments, many have suggested hanging the tyre. I have tried this, I wasn't to much of simply hanging the tyre under it's own weight. However, my suggestion is to hang it from a bench vice and to sit on the tyre with all your weight (if you can do this without a bench vice, so be it, but my makeshift rig wasn't strong enough). The bench vice is very effective, however you can only do about a foot at a time before the tyre is on the ground. Cut off that segment (with enough to still be clamped) and begin again.

I did this 2 years ago and my re-soled Nikes are still great. Closing in on 10,000 miles of jogging and the tread only lost about 5%. Thanks mate! Most under-appreciated tutorials on youtube.
Beast Mode fuck off its an insane video it's dangerous
Aurelius yes
What sort of glue did you use for the Nikes please
@@pault8470 LOL 😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I'm crying laughing
@@pault8470 For kids like you? Yes it is dangerous
The fact that you skinned the whole tire just for the sake of it earns my respect. Thanks for sharing.
This video should be renamed,, "Flirting with disaster"
Money can buy many things in life, but a sense of returning trash into treasure is priceless. Great job, my friend.
Crazy man, don't pull a razor toward your thigh!
Yeah, slice that femoral artery, and you won't care about repairing a shoe.
Mind blowing, DIY cobbling and vasectomy at the same time!
Tyrone, here's a few tips to make life easier. Get a cheap knife sharpener so you can touch up the edge frequently. Use a lubricant so the blade doesn't stick to the rubber. 409 works great and won't be a problem when you glue it. Hang the tire by the flap instead of having your sister pull the flap. That way the weight of the tire provides constant pressure and you can adjust it to hang at a comfortably working height.
welldone 👍👏
Thanks Corbett! I wish I'd watched this video before I re-soled my steel cap work boots today; what a pain it was. I left the steel belts in and had to cut the tyre with a pair of Wiss tinsnips (very slow) and a hacksaw regularly oiled with a toothbrush dipped in motor oil. Of course I then had to clean the oil off and buff the rubber; I used an edge grinder before gluing the rubber to the stripped soles of the boots. Your technique of removing the rubber from the belts makes much more sense. I just could not figure out how to do it. Thanks again.
I was specting a clean cut through the femoral artery
I was cringing through the whole cutting part thinking the same thing.
Yeah me too, but then though He wouldn't have uploaded it :P
Haha cringeworthy
me too...!! :(
Not very smart dude...one slip with that blade and ur SOL in 2 mins
now you have a 60,000 miles warranty from the GoodYear on your shoes )))
Big job! Oh when you glue the sole onto the shoe it is wise to use a hammer to "settle" the sole to the shoe and gets rid of most air bubbles. Hammer onto the sole, after you place some wood or shoe last etc into the shoe.
Thanks for the tip man, I also would recommend you to use some protection while using the knife, maybe some safety gloves or anything just to prevent any accident.
I can't imagine why I started watching this video, but I COULDN'T STOP😂😂😂 Thanks... in case I ever need to resole any shoes👍👍👍
Glue the tire directly on to the soles of your feet.
Now THAT is seriously Hilarious! Love It! LOL
This is how the boot chogi did my boots for me in India! Still have them and still going strong. They also made me a pair of flip flops from the same tyre tread! Ultimate recycling?
I resoled my shoe! Works fantastic on asfalt when breaking on longboard!! I just resoled one of my shoes and it's actually not that awkward to wear. Your tutorial was great to follow and my only problem this far is that the glue doesn't stick as well as I'd like in the edges although having to glue it back on with a better glue if that's necessary isn't the hardest fix. Very pleased!
“But watch out for your crotch” I have never laughed so hard in my life
U got alot of time on ur hands. At least you went outside to play instead of stuck in front of the tv. Good creativity, I'll give u credit I know it wasn't easy.
I did this on a old pair adidas SL96, that was 3 Yr ago. I walked the full southwest coastal path UK. There still going strong.
You were one slip away from severing your artery. Nevr never never cut with a razor towaard any part of your body for fuck sake.
thank god that someone else noticed that, when i saw him doing it my whole face kinda grimaced as if prepareing to see him die. LMFAO

oscar gonzalez - So true!! I was carving when younger, and went straight up the wood, onto my palm, and up my wrist. A fraction away from unintentional suicide!
Agreed. Really stupid thing to do.
Good video! I made tire baskets (see one of my videos) and remember generating a lot of smoke while cutting the tire with a rotary saw and abrasive blades. The metal mesh was a pain because it could rip or puncture your skin as you made contact with it. I like your method better.
Maybe it would be easier to trace the shape of the sole on the tire itself while leaving an extra 3 inches at one end [front or back] of the perimeter of the sole. That extra piece can be chewed up at the start of the cutting procedure but will be cut out once you remove the complete sole from the tire. That way, you will slice through less rubber and will save your cutting blades. Finally, consider using a vice (not another person) to hold the rubber while you foot can push the tire down if your are sitting on a tall stool. Thank you for the video.
'changed attire'
mate you are a crackup
Nice road rash! You need to attach some of that rubber to your elbow.
Only in Straya! On a side note, I have no doubt that this lad has killed before.
Buy new pair of shoes mate at least it won't cost you pair of balls.
Nice comment
Lol, gonna do this with some winter tires, see if it makes a difference in winter :D
Tyrone, it's been a while now (6 weeks) since I did my shoes. I used a good tire (Michelin All Terrain) that had the side wall torn out, but the tread was nearly new. Worked great. I used Shoe Goo to glue it to my boots. No separation issues. The only problem is they pick up pebbles, then drop them in the house. I did this as a curiosity project, but may well do it again because it worked so well. These are my yard work/utility boots, and it appears the sole will be much more durable than the original walmart/brahma sole. My tips; hang the tire, sharpen the blade frequently, use Shoe Goo, and maybe, stop dragging your shoes so much.
If you have a tyre with less tread, you should pick up less stones through walking about. Inversely, you will have much less grip.
A few have suggested the hanging method, I gave it a go and have posted my thoughts on it in the description.
My advice is to use a hacksaw to do the cuts around and across the tyre then your knife to peel off the rubber. Those cuts towards your leg are too dangerous. But the concept is rather useful.
Great job mate!
u has me sitting on the edge of my seat mate.
I watched ths hole vid n my b-day suite b4 bed time
By the look of your Forearm I knew you were a skateboarder good job dude
this video should be changed to "How to skin a Tire"
Jessie Maldonado thought the same too
is that guaranteed for 70,000 miles?
LOL
hahaha i see what you did there
hahaha
in africa they make sandals like that they call them thousend milers.
Aty least hes not consuming drugs, but i doubt it can last a month..kekekeke
glue it
good job man! im going to try that!
i dont know what scares me more. him cutting towards his junk or the fact somebody actually drove on tires that bald.
In South Carolina, it is common for drivers to drive their car tires until the cords are showing because they do not have annual car safetyinspections there.That’s probably the main reason when they get snow at times in the winter, it is a catastrophe on the highways.
Harry Lime I’ve seen quite a few pileups in states that do have inspections (where the nanny state gets to charge another “fee” to pay for nonexistent “ road improvement”).
Awesome knife skills 😂
Seen this first on Top Gear, great idea.
how to fillet a tire
Brilliant Video in the the beginning he did say be careful of your crotch Australians are just tough guys now he has life time of rubber soles replacement not bad considering the tools he had.
good job buddy liked it . it'll help me save so much money on shoes , thanks
Good Idea. Need this idea in Venezuela.
in the usa, we use retreads. no wire to worry with
I used a saber saw to cut the tire steel threads and all. And then glued it with gorilla glue to the shoe bottoms. It was so much work that next time I will buy the sole material off the internet.
Thanks for posting.
If you wet the knife with water and a dash of liquid detergent you will cut the rubber much easier,reduces the friction on the knife blade massively and less cutting force means less chance of a slip up!
Good idea which was i need
"...and remember, it's always easier when you're cutting DIRECTLY towards a major artery or your testicles. So, make sure your blade is extra sharp and straddle up!"
THis is great. Ballin on a budget.
Worked awesome for me I work in the oil field and work boots are expensive chemicals is the oil and well destroy boot soles very quickly within days somtimes not only did this work tire tread seems to resist against the chemicals 10x better then actual boot soles thanks homie skate globes haha
Love your work mate - inspirational,... But I agree with the safety guys about directing the blade away from you....
very helpful I did this to my jordan 5s
i like this idea..nice bro
Also a great way to make your own orthopedic shoes...
Femoral artery anyone? This technique is only one slip away from the last 4 minutes of your life. Please stop doing this!
I tried resolinga pair of work boots. They looked like high top tennis shoes/canvas like material. I liked them because they were insulated winter boots.The glue , barge glue used dissolved the foam rubber that was under the old soles
Your sister is really cute. please use her in more of your videos
that's being a pervert indirectly.
Yes it is lol.
I'd use her in many, maaaany, videos
Andrea Colombo hahaha I know what you mean funny but still perverted unless your in her age group but still funny
Good sexy legs
Thanks for sharing
You should have sanded both the sole and the type to help with bonding. The worn down sections on your shoes would have issues bonding because there is nothing for the glue to grip.
Cutting towards or away no matter one just needs to anker your arm/hand against your body , hand or part so it doesn't go free hand into your throat etc. Great job skinning that snake. I didn't think you could get such a smooth surface with just a cheep blade may have to do next tire change !
Easier just to drive around and find a piece of tread that has fallen off of a tire- you often find them on the road. Then just use that. But a great idea - and the femoral artery advice is a MUST!!
prob best idea to let the good dry fully with some weight on it before cutting off the excess.
....
Good onya , I can't watch the video cos I already know plenty , however it's so good to see folk here who ain't friclin shoe repair professionals trying to drum up extra business . 98% of the shoe videos here are wannabe fashion consciousnesses movie stars who from I wouldn't buy a used car.
I love this!

*Cut his junk off :
-thanks for the tip mate!
This video is helpful for me and I got the best idea how to make the shoe sole again but my question is after fixing with the glue Both the shoes and the tyres ... will it come out again if we go out in the rain or Sunny place or while running ? Because it's abit risky while going for a long journey
I have a few tip's . There are industrial scissors one can get at harbor fright for 7 dollars . Also these tools may help . SAWS ALL JIG SAW AND THE NEW TYPE RECIPROCATING SAW NOT SAWZALL BUT THE ONES THAT GO SIDE TO SIDE AND HAVE HALF MOON SHAPED BLADES THIS SAW WOULD WORK BEST AS THEY MAKE OTHER SHAPED BLADES AS WELL . tHIS SAW MOVES SIDE TO SIDE INSTEAD OF BACK AND FORTH .
Nice imma try this I just need rubber glue
coool - thanks, just be careful with the blade, but good how-to
Well done
I see you're using the famous Baldini racing tire.
now you got that car grip on your shoes
You could put tire in a vise chain vise Tripod and then use an Electric sawzall it’ll cut through the rubber and the steel belted inside
Cheers mate
must have been difficult to cut and record at the same time
One slip there goes his family jewels or wrist.
dude your a badass
Yep, retouched the edge every 2 minutes or so. 15 strokes on the sharpener is faster than changing blades and I used one blade for the whole process. The lube helped a lot.
Good job sir! but what about the board-feel? do you feel the edges and concave with those soles?
Thanks Tyrone! Meant to do this with my last pair of Nikes but my ex threw them in the trash when I wasn't looking.
i had tge idea to ise some pre-made black flip flops. I used that and it worked wuite well i do have a question. i tried tonise sander with coarse sandpaper to finish , but I was disappointed. now I'm thonking to use heat. what say?
The struggle is real
Hahahaha that is all I was thinking while watching the video.
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, jeans
If you use Bias-belted tires the will be NO steel belts to worry about.
How long did your new sole last? Did you had to glue them again?
7 minutes and 30 seconds skinning the tire with a piss-poor razor knife. I would recommend using a Sawzall. Very useful video.
10:40 I can see you had a really bad burn from longboarding. Hope it healed well.
Thanks!
Not a very clean job but it shows how to get a nice rubber strip from an old tire so you can use it for whatever you believe it's more convenient. You should be a lot more careful so you don't harm yourself or others, besides that, good job!
Idk... seems like a good idea since tires are durable, but there must be some better ways to outline the tired so that it doesn't look like it was just cut out around the edges
If you someway heat the rubber would be easier or more difficult to cut? Does it make sense?
Thanks,
I hope this guy does not own any guns or Samurai Swords. After looking at him sitting on the tyre cutting towards one of the biggest Arteries in the body in his upper leg.
Je bent een leerling die lijm was niet gereed om te plakken Meer kennis nodig een heel mooie video
👏 Thanks and have care when cutting. 🇬🇧
Put a 2x8 inside the hole of the tire and drive a vehicle up on the board it will hold it nice and still for you
I am not aware if this has been said but, if you want it a little thicker, you could double it! :)
I think I now know how he made those sweet cutoffs...
I had no idea Napoleon Dynamite was a cobbler
How long does that last . For bmx purposes
Please purchase a small tripod.
Ha! I thought of something like this recently. The soles and adhesives on branded shoes are absolute shyte in general, and more so for tropical climates. The humidity and heat just kills them and they come apart within a few months for me, my recent record being about 2 months. Oakley shoes were very good and lasted years, as opposed to reebok, nike, solomon and I may well keep them using this method. I don't splash out on michelins and pirellis for the car but worn ones for shoe soles will be cheap as fuck and last forever. Much less load on the rubber XD Thanks for the guidance.
