Hi, Suicide! Congratulations for these wonderful mocs! What a fine work! Which size are they? Is there a padded sole inside?

Thanks, guys!

Phil,

They are 5 W UK (37 EUR) size, there is no padded sole inside the mocs, but there is "quad sandwich" as a bottom part - fist (which touch floor) layer is a bison (creme one), then there is felt sole (about 3 mm thick) in between of ;eather layers, then there is going white deerskin and finally brownish deer nubuck as a lining on top of white deer. Felt sole glued by both side to both of layers.

Then I was made them, I felt such construction a very stiff, I could say stiff as a normal sport shoes sole, but now after couple of days she says it became very cozy and pliable.

BTW I took pattern from the "craftmanual of North American footwear" book and just a bit modified it by added all this soling stuff.
