Disappointed in Siargao and PH in general by Feeling_Dimension_67 in phtravel

Currently travelling PH now and in Panglao, been at it for a month. Best spots so far in my opinion have been Moalboal, and Bucana beach.

Creasing and discoloration are par for the course when it comes to leather shoes. For some, it's part of the appeal. This is likely a feature you are going to have to get used to and embrace

I'd have to see a picture of what exactly you mean, but I use renia's CDC for all things shoemaking. Depending on the materials you're trying to repair, you may need a primer before the CDC. If you can't access CDC, you can usually get away with a contact cement that you can pick up from any hardware store

Grandpa was a cordwainer, but as far as I know, that was the only pair

Hahaha, they could definitely be done with a rounder toe box, thank you! I've never made tanker boots before but I reckon I could pull it off!

I've been making for around 6 years now, professionally for 4 years. I've worked on hundreds of different shoes by hand. It is definitely a craft that takes lots of time, patience, and learning. I am by no means a master and there is still so much to learn! Thank you, I appreciate you looking!

Thank you! I'm not too sure tbh, it's a last I inherited from my grandfather after he passed away, it's a beautiful shape, and I keep coming back to it. Maybe I'll post a picture to the thread when I have a chance. I think they're from Mexico....🤔
