well, I need to cast a shell for the outsole on a pair of trainers - it's two parts, a translucent part and a grey part

This will have to fit over the original trainers, which will have neoprene and padding over it to complete the look (if that makes any sense)
I need to know the is the best thing to make the mold out of and what to cast in (I originally guessed mocking up the shoe by using oil based clay on the base trainers, casting around in a two part paster cast, then using some kind of rubber/silicone to make the new outsole 'shell'. Then clean the base trainers and glue together)
