Summer is here - Time to make sandals

Hi boot bros and sisters! These are my first go at designing and making sandals and I'm fairly pleased with the results.

They're a hell of a lot easier than boots, and having a project from start to finish that only takes a day or two is very rewarding. This is also the first real project using my (new to me) post bed sewing machine, and I have to say that it's going to be very hard to ever go back to hand stitching.

First time with my own design

My first attempt at making 100% my own design. 360° stitch down. Fully lined, wooden shank, and veg tan leather footbed. The owner wanted them to be "soft" so there's a lambskin topped foam insole, 4mm of cork under the leather footbed, and 6mm of eva foam under that. They have a resin slip sole and a vibram outsole. They'll still be the hardest boots the owner had but they're definitely the softest I've made.
