Old Rider,

'Way more steps (  :biggrin: ) than I would use.  One-piece design.  See pix.  Run laces through the lace tabs at the holes, and lace to fit.  Run a heel strap from the lace holes if you want a heel strap (not needed).  Glue a heel cup insole at the heel on the foot side, if desired, with Shoe Goo.  I hate having something between my toes, with any sandals.

Great for the streets or muddy pathways, but you will have black skid marks on the floors all over in the house, if you wear them indoors.  D.A.M.H.I.K.  Helps to be single, there.

I've got twelve old sport demon tires I'll send you to help get your business started. Most of them have been worn down to the threads so they won't scuff up your floors.

The Indian shoe walla wastes nothing. This is common practice and as you might well guess, they are as uncomfortable as fuck.

If I could learn how to ride like a Norwegian I could get a few more miles out of my sport demons . I might give up a toe to finish off the unused sides of my tires but a leg is too much.

Speaking of which, does anyone here ride with the balls of their feet on the pegs, as opposed to the instep. I'm not talking about moving your inside foot back for the duration of a corner but both feet all the time?

Old Rider,

Yeah, that pattern was kinda quick-'n'-dirty.  :blush:  Actually, it would be better if each of the "laces tabs" were split into two narrower tabs on each side instead of one wide tab, so the sandal would be standing flatter on the floor.  That's my last upgrade, though; after this, I may want money.  :rofl2:   

Have fun!  :biggrin:
