oobleck condom shoes
This instructable will help you make oobleck shoes out of condoms, cardboard and old sheets. Oobleck is starch mixed with water to create a non-Newtonian fluid. This means that when pressure is applied it becomes a solid, and reverts back to liquid state when the pressure is removed.

This is the perfect material to use for nice cushiony shoes; it has great shock absorption for walking, and becomes soft and pliable for standing.
