Members Andrew Chee Posted March 1, 2013 Members Report Posted March 1, 2013 Interesting. What type of construction do you use on your shoes. Also, do you design your own lasts or buy premade ones? Andrew Quote

Andrew hello andrew - the fancy hi-tops and fur shoes are hand welted with leather toe puff and heel counters (the fur shoes have side counters as well). the uppers of the sf hi-top and soft hi-top are hand stitched to the midsole with glued bottom sole. all expect the soft hi-top were lasted on commercially bought lasts: the soft hi-top pattern was created from a casting of the clients foot: regards, brian thank you all for your comments. -brian Quote
