Hi friends, today, I want to share a brief process on the making of a mule for a client of mine.
materials used were leather, suede, adhesive glue, lasts, rubber sole, buckle and fibre.
After drawing out the pattern I want, I cut it on the suede and also cut my insoles as shown below.
I then attach everything to the last and put a "front stay" for stiffness.
I apply adhesive glue and allow it to dry then I pull it over the lasts.
Lasts are like mannequin feet for making shoes. They come in various sizes.
I then apply gum to my sole and the shoe on the lasts and gum them together.
Thanks for taking your time to view my post!
