If it is for indoor use a couple of eyelet holes put into the instep area just above toe sole will allow air to be move in and out as you walk which might be a lot easier option. I do this even on outdoor wear shoes which is only a problem when I step in water. Keeps the shoes from getting smelly as well.

Have need of a good leather worker/repairer preferably around Seattle WA that feels confident in doing a repair on one of the belts I made around 2008 as shown in the pictures below. The backing needs replacing and is around 4 to 5 oz. I have included a new belt picture to help understand. Any recommendations as to who has the skills would be greatly appreciated. Brian
