Step 1: Materials
Also, this Instructable contains two designs. In the second you replace the old shoes with an old pair of flip-flops.
-One pair of shoes (Preferable Sandals), new or old, with a sturdy sole.
-100 feet of Paracord to be safe. As many colors as you like. (I picked black and white for contrast)
-The basics of any project, duct tape (Just in case) and a Swiss Army Knife (Scissors could stand in).
-A hot glue gun.
-Matches and a candle, or a lighter. Either will do.
-Access to a sink if you intend to clean the shoe components.
Step 2: Separating and Cleaning The Sandal
If you have access to a sink, and if your sandals are anything like mine, I would suggest a very in depth cleaning. Dirt settles into the pockets underneath the sole, and the insole usually collects a lot of sweat.
