Shoe repairer here. Please scuff up the sole before you glue it. It makes the bond much longer lasting because the glue has more surface area to stick to.

I noticed that too. However, since he stitched at the edge, it doesn't matter that much as the stitching will secure the sole and upper. It'll also be helpful when the sole need replacement and the cobbler don't have to fight with strong glue to remove the worn off sole.

Umm he glued the flesh side to the rubber sole no need to rough it up. The inside needs roughing before the inner sole is attached which he didn't show but he did everything correctly.

That's a great idea and very true

A tip on the non water based glue - For difficult things to get positioned... do the regular glue on each piece... let it dry completely . This becomes a primer coat. Then, add a fresh layer of glue and put the parts together while wet. This gives a slippery few moments to push tight curves into place. This method needs longer to dry, like overnight. You can test it on scraps, I learned this method from saddle makers. Some saddle parts are so curvy and tight... they even do a method of - prime the piece with glue, let it dry completely - then soak the leather to make it moldable . next dry off the primer layer, add new wet glue, and then put the parts together. . Makes difficult fitting much easier.

Thank you for your advice Stephen

First time I saw Tony sharpen a carpet knife blade I thought he was just being thrifty… and maybe so, then I tried it myself. WHOA! Give those blades a little love on a strop and you can make them RAZOR SHARP!! Much sharper than out of the box! Thanks again, Tony 👍🏼

I just don't like having to deal with disposing them, so I sharpen my utility knife blades. It's just plain wasteful and potentially hazardous to throw them away.

Nice Job. As a former shoe repairman (18 years experience) I would recommend scuffing the sole material with sand paper for a stronger bond.

I always appreciate you Tony.. thanks for everything you share to us.. keep going

I'm super stoked for this! My soles from The Leather Republic are already shipped, so I can't wait.

Beautiful work, again! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, Tony!

Fantastic. Can’t wait to make them. I would love to see a version with a good year welt so they can be resoled!

Fantastic Tony! Really gives me the confidence to make sneakers!

Looks amazing, as always ! wanted this so much to come out, thank you for your designs Tony and the team ! Bought the soles / pattern even before your video came out, couldn't wait !

Cool! I liked how you used everyday tools.

Tony, you're great. I always love your patterns and I will keep buying your patterns. I would love if you can make simple and easy to follow patterns like this for casual shoes too. Thank you for the great works.

You never cease to amaze me Tony, just amazing. Also thank you for the pattern. Much love to you and D from me and mine here in Cornwall, England

Moooooooore TONY WE NEED MORE OF THAT !!!

That was spectacular. I have always wanted to try making a shoe, but was terrified at the prospect. Can't thank you enough for sourcing the sole. I will get started right away. At 65 years old new challenges are greatly welcomed. Thank you again. Cheers!

Hi Tony - Great KZread chat today. I would love to go to Marseilles one day, too. Because I'm in California, it would be easier for me to go to Tahiti. My European shoe size is 41.

I love to see you make some old fashioned looking boots I bet that be cool then do a part two video turning the base boot into a steampunk boot

AMAZING VIDEO BIG THANKS

Now, this has got to be the most practical design/tutorial yet!!!! Thanks Tony!!!

You are the best teacher I've ever seen, thank you for making this very easy, it's been my dream to make my own pair of sneakers, because I'm designer by training and a musician from South Africa. Keep on inspiring us, I have so much respect and admiration for you. Much love!! ❤

Tony, I love this! I can't wait to make some for my family. But is there a way for you to make a pattern for a size 13 US? My family has big feet.

Awesome video. Can you please tell us more about the glue that you used to glue the uppers to the soles. Exactly what sort of glue do we need to look for? I take it that you can't use that first glue (Fiebings?) that you used to stick the fabric to the leather?

Thank you❤

Love the channel...do you offer patterns for wide feet with a wide toe box. Like barefoot shoes. Keep up the great work

you are a genius!

Excellent as always Tony!.. I've been watching you and buying your patterns for years but I keep forgetting to ask you what size and type needles do you use?? I've looked through the John James catalogue but the needles you use seem to be longer than any I have bought.

What a great video!!!!

Thank you so much for this video, I make doll shoes for diffrent size dolls ranging from 9"-24", I sometimes feel like my shoe pattern shape is not correct, bt 4 the ones I am currently creating, they look almost identical to the ones u show here in this video.

really love your pattern Tony thx . just a question , you think it is possible to make just one piece with the front and the top pieces ?

Muy buen trabajo dieselpunk estaría bien que diseñara también unas zapatillas que cubrieran el talón estilo Converse muchas gracias un gran trabajo espero poder comprar tu patrón pronto gracias

Every time you pop up I wanna start singing 'Start wearing purple for me nooooooow!' at the top of my lungs.

It gives Pattens form Nike Af1 or Jordan & Ts BUT VERY EXPENSIVE for ONLY ONE SIZE 250€ 🥵 so I say BIG THX TONY for this AWESOME SNEAKERS PATTEN some of my next project 🥰

Making my first pair of shoes, I'm waiting for the adhesive to dry, ( my grandson is almost four and he is helping with a little plastic hammer). I live in Australia and we have a leather processing factory which is open to the public not 15 minutes away, I have kangaroo leather..it's only 1mm thick but really strong and flexible. I'm hoping it works out.

thank you, bro!😄👍

what weight/Thickness leather did you use?

Please do a boot tutorial. Ive been wanting to make a pair of boots but there are so few actual tutorials out there.

What can you do to add some more cushioning to the shoe?

Очень просто и интересно, спасибо за мастер-класс. Люблю твой Стиль Тони, иду шить себе снекерсы !

This video is a godsend and now I'm dying to know when you'll have the size 43 insoles back in stock! Also, does anyone know of or have any leads on where I can get a US men's size 18 (yes, truly!) insole and pattern in this style? My partner could use some well made shoes and really struggles to find anything in his size. 💔

Very cool

GREAT!

The only thing I seen was the heel needs more support for the back part. Great video and content

Do you have patterns for sneakers with a wide toebox?

Hello Please write the site you mentioned for foot size so that we can use it too Thank you

Hi, just saw ur video liked it, I am learning show repair, any tips? Thanks

What kind of leather do you recommend for this project?

Great video, I have a question about buying the soles. I wear a 10 1/2 Wide US shoe size. Would that still be a US 10 or do I need to find another sole?

This is cool, can't wait to make one. Can I use suede instead of fabric for the lining?

I imagine reapplying heat to the sole if it isn't seated sufficiently should help loosen the bond so you can push it down further

Hi Tony. I recently had one of my ankles fused. I have to wear full rocker bottom shoes now. Do you have a source for full rocker outsoles?

Design the same type of shoes in small and women's sizes Thank you

What tool can I use to punch out the holes for the shoelace eyelets? Can I just use a larger hole punching device? What size grommets and holes are they?

Where do you source your glue from? Its hard to find large quantities of shoe/leather glue

Hi Tony, quick question...I just bought your fabulous pattern for the sneakers and they made up okay (bit tight on the inside where the front sections meet the sides) but I was wondering if the sole pad "left" and "right" labels being the wrong way around is the only piece that's wrong? Kinda pulls funny across the toe now that I've worn them for a couple of days but that is probably me not knowing exactly the right tension for the stitching! I've made around 30 pairs of conventionally made boots and shoes and your system is WAY quicker and easier. I love your patterns and videos, always look forward to your new ones. Thanks for your time and effort!
