Zoob,

There are some interesting "alternative footwear" sites on the web. I saw a site a while back that dealt with making tire sandals to wear as soles for buckskin moccasins, to keep the mocs from wearing out on the bottoms. It was in one of the primitive skills sites- I'll see if I can dig it up and post it.
