What bushy things could you do with this

[jackcbr]

Swmbo has worn out a pair of these boots in the sole, so the rest of the boot is fine really. So I was thinking, what could be made from them. And then I thought, who would have better ideas than you guys.

They have neoprene uppers?

If they do then make some knee pads out of them

 

[John Fenna]

Fill them with sifted soil and grow carrots in them

Not keen on cheesy carrots tbh.Knee pads sounds an option.[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Thinking maybe a case fore the iPhone. But if there's anything better I'm up for trying something else

Decent cobblers are hard to find in this throw away society. If you can fiond one why not get those boots re-soled. Tony

An idea, but as its a single moulded boot at the bottom, not sure it would work that well. Also the whole footbed is well worn and uncomfortable. I think it would have cost as much again to repair, she does where them a lot, so a new pair for crimbo wasn't a big ask.

cut it at the heel and use the top part as a butt mat, glue it to the bottom of your rucksack as a waterproof base. cut the foot bed into pieces for firelighting and give to your mates, or anybody new to bushcraft as a small gift. drills some holes and plant strawberries in them in the summer months. cheers the interceptor boy.

Ah, now there's some good ideas. Butt mat and knee pads. I like that.

Have you got a Kelly kettle? You could do away with the handle and use a neoprene sleeve instead.

A pot cosy/case maybe?

How about a pair of gaiters, just carefully remove the sole and cut to shape?

I like the knee pads idea

some thing to sit on.

Ferrets love them to play in.

If the soles are rubber, you can repair them by thickly spreading 'SHOE GOO' over them then put in some insoles to cover the footbed.

i was going to say pot cosy, but its bee said, so non slip mat for your shapening stone.........or flint napping knee cover...

 

[Bowlander]

Cut the tops off and use the bottoms as garden slippers.

Now I'm thinking I need another pair to make all these bits. Shame they take so long to wear out. Swmbo wasn't getting enough foot support where she had worn them so much. So once they started leaking she fancied a new pair. Might have a hunt round and see if her mum has an old pair somewhere.
