And it only took 20, maybe 25 attempts.  But now?  Hah, I can make pair whenever I feel like it.   Free at last...     If enough people beg me, I'll make a tutorial.

Edit:  Kudos Johanna, the new site looks terrific!

I am most interested in the forming of the toe box.  I am assuming they are not lasted.

What's a toe box?     Yeah, they were lasted, sorta.  You'll just have to wait for my tutorial (and however long it takes me to figure out the toe box thingy).

Nice work.  That one looks like a pair of Desert Treks.  What'd you use for the midsole board?  I've been trying to figure that out for a pair I'd like to make.

Nothing special to tell you the truth.   I've tackled that style many times.   I've used thick shoulder leather,  cork, conveyor belting.  Have  layered in staggered lengths to get that wedge look.  

 

For both styles I bought used Clark's shoes  took them apart and they are just as simple as can be.  Nothing under the hood worth mentioning.  Everything you need to know can be had with an external look.

 

PM me if you're interested in a template
