Very nice!   Did you use a hand awl to stitch the soles?

Could you please list your materials and all the specific tools you used  for these shoes?

Hello, Aventurine. My apologies for responding late.

I used a six prong diamond point (diamond referring to the shape of the point) to punch the holes. Everything is hand stitched.

I cut the softer leather with leather shears, and the sole leather with a box knife.

I used a rawhide mallet for pounding.

I stitched using waxed nylon thread for leather i got on Amazon, and canvas needles.

If you would like i can take a picture of the tools.
