- Quest for Gliding Shoe: Part 1
It only took a few more minutes of gliding to wear out what has just been a great shoe. Going from great to unuseable happens too fast.
So what I want to do is attach a removable wear surface to the bottom of a shoe. Being almost midnight, I was stuck looking around in the tool/storage room for something to try out. Below are some photos. The material is "Gutter Guard", a plastic mesh. It is held togeather with a regular shoe lace.
This wore out in a few minutes. The grip was maybe too good, yet slippery on a tile floor. The back edge rolled up as the tire rolled around. So this design isn't good. But the quick installation is important. It only takes a minute to lace and tie it on. So this quality should be kept.
