Researchers have found a way to create self-repairing soft polymer (Credit: An Xin and Kunhao Yu)

Like most people, you have probably lost count of the number of perfectly pristine-looking shoes you have tossed out simply because the rubber soles are cracked. In addition to the expense and hassle of replacing footwear, it is also harmful to our environment. According to the U.S. Department of the Interior, 300 million pairs of shoes end up in landfills each year, where they can take 30 to 40 years to decompose. Now, thanks to a revolutionary self-healing 3-D printed rubber material, fractured shoe soles may be a thing of the past.

    I want to buy that exact shoe. I mean the color is a little yucky but what's the matter about the color? I can use it again and a again. Also, I might be able to spray paint or just paint on the shoe!

          Does anyone else like Adidas? I love Adidas! My favorite pair of shoes is a pair of Adidas slides. I wear them everywhere! In fact, when I got them, they were a size two, but I've worn them SO much, around the house and in the shower and stuff, that I have made them grow two sizes, and now they are size four! I didn't know that was even possible, to make your shoes grow just by wearing them. WELL IT IS!!!!!!

                I have slides, too! But they are not blue, they are black with white stripes on the top. I bet your blue ones are pretty, though!
