Hello wonderful people.
Today, I'll be sharing the processes involved in the making of this boot.
But first, I'd like to start with the materials used

Shoe last
Shoe pattern
Suede
Soft leather
Gum (adhesive)
Sole
Welt
Buckle
Zip
Pencil, ruler, razor, scissors

Step 1
Use the pattern (drawn on a paper) to trace the soft leather and the suede.
Remember to turn it while tracing to have for both right and left pairs.

Step 2
Attach a zipper to two parts of the patterns cut out as shown in the picture

Step 3
Fix buckles onto a suede strap measured about 1 inch by 12 inches

Step 4
Sew the strap onto one part of the cut patterns as shown in the picture below

Step 5
Sew the part with a zipper to another one that has no zipper

Step 6
Sew a back spine and also sew a pull tab onto the pieces we have. More information in the picture below.

Step 7
Using the adhesive, gum the suede and the soft leather together

Step 8
Trace the base of your last onto a strawboard and cover with leather. This is the part called the insole
Repeat this for the other pair

Step 9
Using tack nails, nail the insole to the last as seen in the picture below

Step 10
Apply gum (adhesive) to the insole and apply gum to the already prepared pieces then wait for it to dry for about 10 minutes

Step 11
Fold the prepared pieces (upper) onto the insole.

Step 12
Place the folded upper on the sole. Using the adhesive, gum the welt to go round the shoe.

Step 13
Trim the excess.
Use a bench grinder, or a filing machine to smoothen the sides of the shoe. Repeat the same for the second part.

Step 14
Apply gum to the sole and your prepared upper, then attach them together.
Do not forget to remove the nails on the insole before the final attachment.
