The first thing I do is to cut the pattern on to the leather and also cut out the insoles and cover with leather, after which I use another brown leather to tape the edges.

Next, I sew the middle parts to the rest of the body and add a lining to it.

Next, I apply gum to the insoles and glue the linnng to the insole.

I then apply gum to the rubber soles and the shoe after fixing a buckle accross.
I then allow to dry a little before hammering gently.

Hi @toubie

What is the retail price of this pair of shoes?

It costs $50

Hi @toubie,

I asked because I thought you might be able to sell customized shoes to people worldwide through https://hivelist.store.

If your retail price is $50, the actual cost to your customers online will be higher considering the shipping cost. With that in mind, I am not sure whether you will be able to sell it online at https:hivelist.store.

Maybe you should try and see the response.

Thank you very much. This was so thoughtful of you. I'll check it out
