Firs attempt at these, next project are Mukluk's so was essential to get some practice. Made from Bovine,coated in Mink oil. Bison will be use for my next project. Added a second piece for the sole to add to durability. First test walk I found the heal needed to be thicker, gonna put some crepe rubber on their so it lasts, just have to shave the base so glue sticks. It was a learn as you go experience.

Has anyone bought and used K E Hockenberrys boot making books? Are they worth the money? I am wanting to make lace up work boots. Looking for a place to start. Thanks for any and all help,Jack

This is my latest pair - on the road now for two weeks and very happy with them. The improvement on this pair was that I glued a rubber bottom sole to the leather sole - all my previous shoes just had a single piece of leather as the only layer between me and the ground and I only use them indoors - with these I wanted to be able to walk on damp surfaces outside. The bottom plastic sole is a sheet I bought at Tandy - does anybody know of suppliers that would sell sole materials on a small scale?

Hi Folks, does anyone have any advice for how to stitch this moc toe on this style of work boot? My understanding is that the vamp is one piece and where you see the white stitch around the toe, that is just a fold, not two separate pieces. thanks

I can't even begin to say how happy I am that these dang things are done! They are going to Miss Rodeo Oklahoma 2017 to wear at the 2018 MRO Pageant in a week or so. She originally sent me a pair of booties that I deconstructed then built back up. This was the end result. I can't say that I'm itching to do another pair anytime soon! lol!

My most favourite thing to do when I have the time is make shoes! I have treated myself to some WALNUT Italian leather oxfords, hand stitched down sole and leather lined...yummy!
