Shoe Making: Men's Sandal Development V3

OK I may have plumbed the depths of thick leather sandal making with this experiment. I used 9oz outer and 1.5oz inner. I call these my "Work" sandals.

I will reiterate that I am a full time sandal wearer and take them very seriously. I am trying to discover the perfect pair of sandals for my self so that I can share them with the rest of the guys out there.
I would be comfortable making bespoke sandals.

I see no sense in making a balanced pattern for sandals since it is a bunch of little parts.

With experience I have developed how to get the separate parts out without damaging the whole. It never hurts to over label things.

TIP: I use packing tape on the back side of the paper patterns to stiffen them.

Out of 5 patterns I get 8 different parts, try to limit the number of separate pattern pieces.

Then the lining covers many parts and joins them together.

I used my latest invention to aid the channel cut.

Pre-lasting.

I love using Gorilla Glue BUT you have to limit the amount or this will happen, the expansion on the underside is no prob' but on the sides is.
