How To Sew The Outsole To Vamp On Mocs Like These?

[rscow]

I want to make a pair of mocs like these. I am ordering some lasts. Are the outsoles sewn to the vamp before putting the shoe on the last? Or before? Is this done with a curved needle and awl or straight?

I know some brands machine stitch the outsole to the vamp, but it would make resoling much more difficult. Make assembly less complicated, though.

Anyone with experience in this area?

I make mocs similar to that and I sew the sole to the vamp by hand using straight needles. There is a thread Called "New Wool-Lined Mocs in the Shoes,Boots, Sandals, Mocs forum with pics and a tutorial. (Oct. 12, 2014)

I'd be happy to answer any questions.

Thanks, Colt. As it happens, I'm finishing up a pair for a customer right now.
