Also comes with a mock upper fully assembled to show the construction and assembly processes involved. Toe puffs and back counters are made from 5mm thick belly leather — a traditional shoemaker's choice.

To make the shoes you will also need: leather or heavy material, sharp scissors or cutting tool, sewing machine or needles and punches, sewing thread, shoe last, leather insoles, steel or wooden shank, bottom filler, soles, heel rand, heel, lasting tingles, neoprene adhesive, and Hirschkleber craft paste.
