Members rscow Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 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? Quote
Members lranger Posted January 12, 2015 Members Report Posted January 12, 2015 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. Quote

Members lranger Posted January 13, 2015 Members Report Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks, Colt. As it happens, I'm finishing up a pair for a customer right now. Quote
