Hello friends, Today I want to share a post on the loafer I made for a client of mine.

Materials used
Fibre
Leather
Adhesive glue
A pair of lasts
Lasting pliers
Rubber sole
Tack nails

The first thing I do is to cut the pattern on to the leather and also cut out the insoles and cover with leather, after which I use another brown leather to tape the edges.

Next, I sew the middle parts to the rest of the body and add a lining to it.

Next, I apply gum to the insoles and glue the linnng to the insole.

I then apply gum to the rubber soles and the shoe after fixing a buckle accross.
I then allow to dry a little before hammering gently.

Our shoe is now ready to wear!
Thanks for viewing my post.

Hi @toubie,

I asked because I thought you might be able to sell customized shoes to people worldwide through https://hivelist.store.

If your retail price is $50, the actual cost to your customers online will be higher considering the shipping cost. With that in mind, I am not sure whether you will be able to sell it online at https:hivelist.store.

Maybe you should try and see the response.
