erdnarob 1 #7 May 2, 2009 The best is to go to a shoemaker and have him install a rubberized sole. Some manufacturers do it but other use a material which wears off rapidly. A sole made of rubber resists to water and lasts longer. If you want something working quite well too is having a shoemaker again install mule thick leather sole. That kind of leather does not expand when wet and is quite durable. Those 2 solutions will make your booties looking great unlike other tricks or not too professional ways. I tell you that because I did it successfully.Learn from others mistakes, you will never live long enough to make them all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
