I make crocheted slippers and I would like to wear them everywhere, I think this may help the bottom of them.

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm making my nieces fleece slippers, and this solves the slipperiness of fleece issue for me!

You can prep your own easily enough with a block of beeswax, just rubbing it into the thread. (Thread Heaven's an easier option, though I don't think it holds up quite as well.)

I just love them and am very sad the soles are falling apart. Then the bright idea that maybe I, as in I myself, could replace the soles. Through Google I found your tutorial and think I can do the same thing with mine. When I was 3 I slipped in some leather soled slippers and broke my arm. Now I am 60 and am concerned about the grip. More suggestions please to make the soles less slick. Thanks I have a special pair of store bought Christmas slippers with soles that are cracking and crumbing everywhere.

Now I have glue stuck to the bottom that looks gross. I am going to buy a punch and do it the right way, and use this tutorial. I bought a bag of scrap leather at Michael's that was pretty cheap.
