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.

Our shoe is now ready to wear!
