Tyre sandals.docHi All. Bob. I live in Uvongo on the South coast. The Zulu stile sandals is most probably made of motorbike tires. (will add a photo).Do you also originate from South Africa? John j. If you promise never to tel a sole I will send you a patron if you send me your email address. Matt S. I use cow hide. and i particular Crazy Horse the culored piece is also cow hide 2.3 mm thick. I was so lucky to get a full range of lasts. From a small no 2 to a large no 13 . Bought it from a family who sold it after the old man had passed away. Had one no 4 and one no 5. But I made the other ones myself in order to have a pair of each. I also use Natural tanned Leather and stain them afterwards if so required. Have a great weekend. Friendly Greetings. From South Africa Tyre sandals.doc

Thanks to all. The machine I have is a Singer 168w101 pedestal, very old, but still working well.

Thanks to everyone for your replies and kindness. Electrathon I appreciate your critique and believe it will improve with time to come. every pair seems to look better as I get use to the sewing machine and technique that is still new to me. I take all critique as up building. Thanks Hennie.

Please take note. The fourth picture is my first pair
