Nails/tacks/wood dowels

Recommended Posts

I have a good amount of experience with leather. I am about to start my first pair of shoes. I'm making a simple pair of cap toe oxfords. I've been researching, reading and watching YouTube videos for weeks. I'm still confused on the correct nail/tacks to use. I've seen clinching nails, sole nails, shoe racks, and others. I havent decided if I am doing a 270 or 360 degree welt. I'm looking for advice from experienced shoe and boot makers. What do you use in the soles and heels? Wood pegs or nails? Which type of nail or tack? What lengths? Thanks for any input you can give.
