Great job

I bet they last forever!

I can also recommend Bonney and Wills in Ashland, Oregon.

Bill Shanor is a true craftsman and a heck of a guy.

They teach all types of shoe design and construction.

Thank you to everyone. I am already working on the patterns to make another set and do some tweaks on them. Wearing them at work and they almost got a bad initiation working on a poo lift station that has failed pumps in it. They survived though and luckly did not take a bath in it (very close though, it was a bad situation).

They look great. I know how much work it is to get a pair like that. I did my first one a few months ago. Can you post a picture, where i can see the surface/ sewing of the sole better? That was for me the most difficult part to get it flat.

The welt was sewn to the midsole at the class on a Landis sewing machine. I do not have a Landis, so my next pair will be hand sewn. I am used to that anyways so no problem doing that.

Very impressive. This is taking leatherwork to the next level. I look forward to seeing future projects!

I just bought a sticher so i get a break on the next pair and will not have to hand sew on the midsole to the welt. this is going to make things a lot easier.
