educatedcobbler Report post Posted November 25, 2012 for upper part u may use aniline or semi aniline finished leather thickness around 1.2-1.6 mm , its really depend on which types shoe u gonna made and for linning u may use vagitabble tanned leather thinkness around .5-.8mm you may follow hand book of a footwear tech.
