    Well I have a set of shoe lasts and stands , and I am battling wether I should keep, or sell them.
    I realize the techniques for make in shoes has changed, and was wondering if they would be of any value to some one such as your self?
    They are most all cast iron so weight and shipping are all that concern me.

    The only kinds I make are moccasins and I mostly do it for myself and family. I'm still trying to come up with the best sole. If you don't use a harder leather for the bottom, then you feel pebbles and things on your feet as you walk on the ground. So I try to either get a really super thick pieces of leather for the bottom or I use as thick as I can, then added a few layers of insoles.

    Did you have any specific questions?

    I would suggest making a pair out of scrap material first. That way, once you come up with a shoe pattern you like..... you can use that as a template to cut your leather. So you don't waste leather unless you have plenty to not worry about or make other things.

    You can always add decoration or warmth factors on the outside later. Or fur inside as you make them. So many options depending what you are looking for.

    Hi arleigh. Thanks for the friend request. I'm no longer a member of the forum. One of the mods fudged a couple of my posts to make it appear that I had broken a rule. The mods didn't like my pro-Christian, anti-Obama stand anyway and wanted me gone so I simply obliged them. Anyway ... water under the bridge. Thanks again for the friend request. Be blessed.

    I'd like to add you as a friend here, if you don't mind. Someone with your personal experience and level-headed advice would prove an asset if I need to ask someone a question. I hope you'll take a 32 year old female who admits she still has something to learn as a "friend" here.
