Handcraft Your Own Shoes And Boots: A Step-By-Step Guide To Making Artisan All Leather Shoes and Boots At Home

Fragile pages but super high-quality information and colored photos step-by-step instruction. My favorite part was to find out the background of the author. I love cultural anthropology, and as she did her study, she found many ways to craft and how important it was that people had a skill to make their own life gardens shoes, shoes were very important and during her studies, she learned how to craft all these different ways so I’m not sure if she has a PhD or a masters, but it is written so anyone can understand it but so thoroughly the author is definitely brilliant now I have to get all the other books and check out her ball blog I would recommend this book and I would buy it again and I will buy all her other books. It looks so fun I’m so excited.

Temevo che, come purtroppo molti altri testi simili, fosse lacunoso e superficiale nella trattazione...invece una graditissima sorpresa...molto completo e illuminante. Certo i passaggi teorici non sostituiscono l'esperienza legata alla manualità delle operazioni, ma comunque sono spiegati molto bene. Ovvio è necessario partire da una buona forma. Comunque consigliato!

Muy buen libro con detalles para el diseño y tratamiento de material de piel para realizar zapatos y botas, tips y detalles para realizar zapatos a mano. Lo recomiendo en verdad, para personas que como yo quieren realizar sus zapatos o para aquellos que quieren iniciar en este oficio que es un arte.

De tous les livres que j'ai acheté pour apprendre a faire des souliers, c'est le meilleur . Il y a toutes les explications, mais il faut acheter les formes de pieds (lasts) parce-qu'il n'y a pas d'explication pour se les fabriquer soi-meme. Il y en a sur le site Etsy.

The author shows the reader how to makes practical leather-soled boots using hand tools and no sewing machine. Very informative and practical. If you want to make period boots for reenactments, this will get you well on your way.
