Thick slipper soles

[ptunia]

Hi

I am looking for a pattern or idea for a fairly hard sole for a slipper that feels cushy to the wearer. It is for severely arthritic feet. I would appreciate any ideas.

Thank you!

welcome to crochet talk ptunia i make my slippers out of blanket yarn and they are real cushy they dont have a hard sole but they are comfortable. i use puff paint and put several drops on them and it makes them non slip

could you make the soles 2 layers with the grey felt boot soles sandwiched between them?

[lulu12]

you probably could it depends on what pattern you use. i use the mary jane pattern its all single crochet and i just dont put the strap across

[lulu12]

you can buy leather soles that you crochet arround just a thought

I may try the idea for the boot inserts for my daughter, she goes through slippers like lightening!

I have been purchasing material from Fabricland that you use on bottom of baby sleepers so as to not slip. I cut the shape out and serge the edge to finish it off. I then hand sew on with a sturdy thread. Has given me extended life to slippers. At most I might have to sew a bit periodically because I wear them so much. All in all a little extra work for long life. I gift a lot, and everyone loves them with no complaints at all. I also use a double sole for the slippers with yarn but only single sole for blanket. I've also used puff dots on blanket.
