Please don't misunderstand, when I said $101 was a bit steep, I wasn't referring to the quality of the book or it's contents, simply that as a hobby that's more than I can really afford to spend on a book at the moment. I would love to have both books, especially the one on shoe making. The idea of making a pair of shoes from scratch seems absolutely fascinating to me. But sadly, at the moment, I just don't have that kind of extra cash, however I'm sure they are worth every penny.

I started down the same path and then I decided to do the "Chinese Blueprint" method: I've bought about 3-4 different types of sandals and flip-flops and just tore them apart. Pulled apart stitching, cut with an exacto kife through the glue, reverse-engineered the straps, etc...

Don't over-think this. They're flipflops. You can go to thriftstores and pick some up for 3 bucks and have at it. Plus, once you've taken one apart that really fit you, there's your template. :whistle:
