When I was a kid, my father had a role in the movie Catch 22, which was filmed in San Carlos, Mexico. For years after, my uncles and I would get dragged down there to go snorkling and diving. (Okay, it didn't take much dragging). One of the things we'd pick up at the flea market was locally-made sandals. The soles were made from old tires. Now, I don't know if the advent of steel belted tires has changed that, but I bet it would be worth a poke around your local junkyard to see if there's anything suitable for soling.
