simple shoemaking: How to make custom simple shoes and lasts, using your feet as the forms

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This is a new take on making shoes without using lasts - as you will see while watching this video, your foot becomes part of an ensemble of materials that create a credible model of a custom last.
This video gives you an overview of a simple shoemaking process that is described in more depth, with variations and patterns, in my book: The Simple Shoemaking Handbook, available at: simpleshoemaking.com/product/p...
Read more about these processes on my blog at: www.simpleshoemaking.com.

This video gives you an overview of a simple shoemaking process that is described in more depth, with variations and patterns, in my book: How to Make the Simplest Shoes: Nomocs, Lomocs and Fomocs with your own two hands!
If you are involved with a non-profit or live in a developing country, I will send a pdf of How to Make the Simplest Sandals to you, just send a request and a short explanation of your situation.

    I just ordered your book and I can not wait to get started! This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for. (These red shoes are "clutch my pearls" beautiful.) I've found companies that make simple shoes but never in my size. Now I can have my beautiful shoes, in my size AND I can have control over design aspects that are important to me!

    I found a wide shoe store near me a few years ago and the owner is aging and i truly hope the grandson doesn't close it down. I have to travel 45 minutes but its a needed trek. Me and my whole family go there once or twice a year and get new shoes. They're expensive but much worth it. There's a runner in the house and he needs new shoes twice a year. The only running shoe we found that he like are New Balance.

    Haven't finished yet, but if you used expanding spray foam on the inside of the duct tape last you could make a last. A little epoxy or wood filler and you've got a hard sculptable last.

    Yeah that’s an interesting idea. How would you do it? Spray the foam inside the tape casting and also add wood filler or epoxy into it at the same time you suggest? Or coat it afterwards once the foam cures?

    I wanted to thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to make my own shoes for a very long time but could not find enough detailed information before this video! My large feel got bigger in recent years and shoes became very hard to find. I was able to make an awesome pair of black Mary Janes after watching this. I had to tweak the pattern a number of times but ended up with one that works. I want to make more pairs but need to find a more dense foam/sole that will give me better support. I am so grateful that you have passed along this wonderful skill!

    Sharon, so glad I stumbled onto your videos. I've been so frustrated trying to find flattering yet comfortable boots, haven't bought a pair in years. hoping this will be the perfect stepping stone toward that. Really motivated because I also ride a motorcycle, but haven't been able to find a decent pair of safety boots in a woman's size. I also have a son and a nephew who can't ever find a large enough size in anything that's decent and comfortable (sizes 14/15/16 wides).

    There is nothing wrong with appreciating craftsmanship in anything, and men obsess over good shoes too such as bespoke Italian dress shoes. In the age of nike and adidas where polymers and cheap plastics and glues are used in virtually every shoe, everyone is looking for quality footwear that is custom made.
