Leather: Vegetable-tanned Leather Sandals

Опубликовано: 1 дек. 2016 г.I'm making this vegetable-tanned leather sandals for my wife.

Materials:

The bottom sole (the part that touches the ground) — Vibram Cherry soling rubber sheet, it made of a durable and soft synthetic gum rubber (Vibram rubber is known for excellent abrasion and slip resistance.)

The mid sole — granular cork mixed with synthetic rubber.

The upper sole (the part that touches the feet) — is a 5 oz veg-tanned leather, my wife complains it's a bit harder for her feet, so I'd suggest to use lighter veg-tanned leather or lining with a more softer leather like lamb skin, etc.

Glue — Tanners Bond Contact Cement,

Dye: Eco-Flo Professional water stain (crimson & brown color)

Finish: Fiebing's leather palm (to protect/repel water), and Kiwi shoe polish.


Hope that helps. Cheers!
