talk to sakamoto or get them off hopkin. I think as well you can just go buy sheets of tyre at clark rubber.

you can get 8mm or 6mm compressed rubber from clark rubber that is wide enough for a size 12 shoe, just buy as much as you need to cover you shoe with abit of room to cut and presto break sole, just cut to the shape of your shoe and use shoe goo to attach it

isn't it hard to cut the tyre because they have wire through them?

Yeah some guys cut it off the wire but i use an angle grinder to cut it to shape and i have never had to replace it yet so the time was worth it. Mate of mine wore out the clark rubber stuff in a couple weekends. i can post pic if you want to see what it looks like
