The narrator's mother is using scrap conveyor belts to make shoes. Here's the full sentence:
Эту ленту Мама раздирает пополам и из той ее части, что с пупырышками, шьет тапочки, а из резины - подовшы к ним.
I'm so frustrated trying to think of how to do this in English - bumpy, studded - that I'm considering just calling it the "fabric" side since that seems to be the main point anyway if she was making shoes out of it.

pimples / pips out belt (material, rubber, etc)
Это по аналогии с с терминологией для резины для настольного тенниса. Она существует в 2 видах - pips in and pips out. Это такой "сэндвич", состоящий из 2 слоёв - губки и непосредственно резины. Pis in - гладкая рещины. Pips out - с пупырышками наружу.
Всё сказанное IMHO.
