HALF SHOE MAKING PROCESS
- Just like every other crafting work and shoe making, i first getting the foot size of the person I'm making the footwear for, by placing her leg on a piece of paper and then cut out the shape of her leg.
- Once the foot size as been actualise, this lead and make my cutting of the shoe upper and linning easier, because it'll aid me cutting according to the side of the measured foot.
- The cutting and shaping, making of the insole and sole is the next process, and to achieve that, all I did was to placed the paper that captures the shape of her leg on the Marco material and the linning and then cut out the shape.
| Insole | sole | reshaped |
|---|---|---|

- I started building and joining the upper of the shoes together, apply gum, sewing together, grinding with a grinder machine, and testing it in a shoe last.
- Once the upper was achieved, I attach the XL Logo, and shape and fill the insole, and sole, then apply I gum on the back of each pieces and attach both together, after which I apply super gum on the edges and some other openings, so it can stick together firmly.
- And here is how the half shoe looks in all it's glamour.
