Thoughts on making your own shoes...

I've been perusing a lot of different things on the InterWebz tonight, but the last that has caught my attention is making your own shoes. It's something I've been thinking about for quite some time, and was having trouble figuring out what I might make the sole out of, and then how I would attach a shoe...body?...to such a sole?...anywhere, here aaaaarrre my thoughts!

-If you can find thick cork, that would be an ideal core for the sole. 1/2" or 3/4" would be perfect for me, but you could play with varying thicknesses for whatever you wanted to do...

- Some type of grippy paint to coat the bottom of the cork. First gluing a thin sheet of wood to the cork and pressing it to dry would probably be best? Sealing the wood first, then gluing and pressing, THEN coating the wood with a waterproof, grippy (latex?) coating. There has to be something in the industrial paint aisle.

- A layer or 2 of generic craft foam?...

-In the meantime, figure out the drape of the fabric around your foot. I like the look of Toms shoes, so I might try a basic U behind my heel, wrap around the foot, fold over the toe? Or something like that? I might also invest some time at the sewing machine or handsewing (more likely) so craft the perfect foot swathing...

- Sew the cloth to another 2+ layers of craft foam (or thick fabric - canvas or upholstery?) and glue that to the stack of sole.

-Add additional foam (or store-bought shoe inserts?)...to the inside of the shoe. (not sure how to affix? glue)

And thoughts on a Snickers cake:

-French vanilla cake mix, or caramel cake mix

-Caramely frosting/ganache/mousse

-Peanut butter (possibly mixed in with the caramely whatever)

-Crushed peanuts

-Milk chocolate frosting

--or fudge frosting with milk chocolate shavings

Because a snickers is just...chocolate, nougat, peanuts, and caramel.

But the ice cream bars (which inspired me) are peanut butter ice cream, caramel sauce, peanut pieces, and the hard chocolate ice cream coating.

What to do!?
