Sandals made of old tires help people get around Zimbabwe.

Walking In Tires

Worn-out tires are no good for a car, right? But they can be good for another type of transportation: walking!

Where I live, in Zimbabwe, and in many other countries, old tires are not thrown away. Instead, craftsmen cut them up and make them into sandals.

One of these craftsmen is Casper Mamutse. He runs a small sandal-making business just outside his house. “All you need are the skills,” he says.

When Casper first saw a man named Isaac wearing tire sandals, he thought they looked funny. So he asked Isaac where he got them. Isaac said he had made them himself. Casper decided to buy a pair to make his friends laugh.
