I use flipflops for both insoles and outsoles.  Glue 2 pairs of flipflops together and they give the best support my feet have ever felt.  They are very insulating too and last about 6 months with heavy daily wear.  I wonder if adding a rubber sole lining would increase the durability, so I am going to try it.  I think you are on the right track with woolen felted insoles, so I will try them to

Good gracious!!  My rosemary never did half that well, what are you feeding that thing??  Whatever it is, great job!!

My initial ideas for book distribution (but these only work in missoula, so maybe we need better ideas for greater national success):
