Biologically modified live shoe soles, grow back replacing the bottom layer like the hand grows back the thin layer of rubbed skin every day.

So the whole shoe is a living organism? How is it fed? Does it have a mouth, roots...? |

It's all fun and games until it evolves a brain. |

"However, to help progress the development of fungal ELMs that use the organism's ability to regenerate as self-repair, new methods for controlling and optimizing mycelium materials are required, in addition to improved understanding of the biological mechanisms behind regeneration." |

This appears to be very much in the theoretical stage still. |

It would be pretty cool if they could bio engineer a material that feeds on sweat and dead skin. That would provide source material for regenerative healing, and be like getting a pedicure every time you go for a walk. |

If it slightly heated on contact, and cooled just before liftoff you could use chewing gum. |
