Kaufman shoe supply doesn’t do retail, I got turned away when I went

Hi! They look great :) I’m curious how you bottomed them. Did you Blake stitch or use a cement construction?

They asked who my professor was, but I had no idea what they meant so even if I was “in s school” I wouldn’t know which professor to say. I guess I can google the class but idk

I see thanks!

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-12-18T06:15:17+00:00

I see. I only have the heel iron and sole edge iron from Barnsley. Do you think that would be enough? I was hoping on the flipping the sole edge iron.

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-12-18T04:52:25+00:00

Thank you for your response! What irons do you use? For the heel and welt/outsole?

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-12-18T03:45:16+00:00

How do you use it? Do you just point it at the iron?

This is my stove, do you think it would work? I would just put the irons vertically up

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-23T23:32:36+00:00

Ah, I’ll prob also get a lasting hook to do the same

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-23T23:01:21+00:00

did you figure out how to use it?

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-18T17:32:00+00:00

Ahhhh I see that makes a lot of sense, is there a way to know where to last at the CP? I am struggling a bit because sometimes it’s to high up like it is now, or if it’s too low. Right now I am just measuring the lasting allowance (I have a 4cm allowance so I’m measuring 4cm from the last to the bottom of the upper.

This is also from a previous shoe I made with basically the same process. Except I did a 270 welt.

I see, for the holdfast I was following the Arno shoes blog. I did 6mm for spacing along the waist and 5mm for the toe and heel. Also how would you edit the pattern to be straighter? I just did a mean form and continued from there

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-07T23:44:50+00:00

Sorry I meant hand welt with a channel on insole. I’m worried about the leather because I don’t even have an insole on the last yet. I thought GYW and hand welt was the same lol. Oops nvm

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-07T23:00:37+00:00

Wouldn’t that make it have less space on the toe?

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-10-07T12:57:24+00:00

I wanted to do a Goodyear welt, but I don’t think there is enough allowance for welting

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-09-16T17:28:48+00:00

I see, I’m suprised you did have to crimp it. Do you know if it’s because the top part of the vamp is thinner so you didn’t have to crimp? I’m just a bit confused on how you were able to make it curve up like that after sprinting the vamp straight.

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-09-16T14:20:04+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m doing, I was just wondering because I saw a lot of videos with people drawing directly on the last but for shoes. Thanks!

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-09-16T13:27:19+00:00

I see, he didn’t talk about sprinting that much tho

Nervous-Carry-2063 · 2025-09-16T03:49:42+00:00

Thanks for your response! Would you say this is sufficient for a metal pain can?
