1820's Shoe Making (By Hand)

In this video, we will explore 1820's shoe making - completely by hand! I will show and explain to you all:

My historical inspiration shoe
-How I carved a wooden shoe last by hand
-How I patterned and mocked-up the boots
-How I made the shoe uppers
-How I created a stacked leather heel
-The final 1820's details that finished off the boots!

Finally, I will share with you my experience of wearing these historical shoes on a day to day basis. Are they comfortable, or not? Too narrow? Will I make historical shoes again?

Join me for this historical hand shoe-making adventure!
