gypsy shoes

I bought these shoes at wal-mart the other week --- if you look at the pic really close the top part are "sewed" onto the sole.

I'll bet you could unsew them and reuse the sole for a different style of shoe.

they are really comfy shoes and the bottom has a nice rubber grip sole. I am thinking about going back and finding a pair that is a bit closer to fitting than the ones I have and trying it out

I took another step forward. I have not been doing any leatherwork lately, but did look at ebay... I just bought a pair of nearly perfect shoes for $15 shipped. They come with the origonal box ( I will end up donating that to the local Tandy). I will end up using them for R&D, then complete they set I am working on. This is a fun project.

Hey Electrathon,

How did those shoes turn out? I look at the ones on the wall on the Gresham Tandy every time I am there wishing I could get the pattern. Did you get the kit for $15 or the actual shoes? Would you by chance have a pattern you would be willing to share?

I got the actual shoes for the $15, I was amazed and happy! I also have a copy of the pattern taht was shared with me a while back. The pair at Tandy is not the ones I bought, the ones I have are very similar to them. I have a mold that I made the exact shape and size to fit my girlfriend, I formed a set of soles, and messed up! I was bummed and have not done another set yet (did I say how nice the soles came out till I trimmed then wrong?) I was looking at them a few days ago and need to get going on them again. The pattern I have in on my old computer, I will fire it up and get it transfered over.

Tandy just posted an old catalog picture yesterday on Facebook and relit the interest in the gypsies pattern. I don't suppose anyone ever found an old copy?
