I have also worked with plasti-dip. The mixture alone is not solid enough to act as a shoe sole. It will work fine for the cracks / sides of the shoe. As others have said it will start to peel off, at least the bottom portion of the shoe. Thinning it would will only make it weaker.

I didn't think it would ne too tough to source a tougher latex-bases rubber compound that would act closer to the original. I suppose getting it to the liquid stage would take a specific kind of solvent and/or excessive controlled heat source. Maybe even a solvent to cure it after q certain point.
There are a lot of compounds out there for special effects latex production but my guess is that tracking down something that is tough enough to be a sole but pliable enough to melt is the tricky part.Originally posted by mizzarSorry for being kind of a dick to you.

^ I think that's the best way around it. Best to have a cobbler add a nice (perhaps even impact reducing) sole, then possibly cover it over with more rubber if you really want to.Originally posted by philip nodsomebody should kop this. this is forever.
