(1/6) > >>

Kviljo:
Based on a 3400 year old shoe, found in Norway :)

Otoe Bow:
Look very comfy.   :D  Did you make them?  What kind of hide is it?

Otoe

cowboy:
Man, I've been asked this before and I have to ask you - don't you work ;D? Those seem to resemble where shoes may have come from - pretty cool :). You seem to be steadily putting out nice works - If I only had more time :)...

Kviljo:
It's 2-3mm calf hide.

The consept is so simple it has been used in many different parts of the world, and at many times. It's basically just an A4-sized sheet of hide wrapped and laced to the foot. It didn't take more than two-three hours to make both.

Cowboy - nope, I'm a student ;D

michbowguy:
do you have a pic of the pattern?
