For the D shape and the logo, tou should make them 1mm thick max. So it could fit better in the strap and you'll be able to make the kind of mod I did on my D shape (to get the GITD recharged by the lights from the shoe and be able to place any color filter in front of the D shape - if you're using a White led to lite the shape)

Can't wait to see that new sole ! Tell us if this new one is more durable and if it is suitable for some walks

Someone knows if silicon of clear sole is the same as silicon used for bathroom join?

As they say on their web site you have to contact them.
I found this but there's only 2 or 1 cm thickness available http://www.larpcanada.com/fr/accessoires-artisanats/1366-mousse-1x50x100cm.html

I tried with silicon for bathroom join and it's awful. It doesn't stay clear, it becomes a kind of white translucent.
I start to be fed up.
Maybe I will finally make something like this.


or

This because it is a real base shoe and the mods look good. I actually saw a red pair of these being worn last night in the city. They are pretty high and look better on someones feet than they do in web images.

I have been looking into more flexible rubber than the stuff I am using now and have found that stuff locally here. Very flexible, but it is called "trans-amber" and is the same colour as the yellow soles were are replacing. You can fold it in half without it splitting. Just a shame they don't make that in water clear.

It is hard to find a translucent silicone with a high enough shore hardness for a sole. Even the stuff I have is A40 and not hard enough. You want at least A60 or A65 for a shoe sole. That foam mid-sole looks awesome.
