James Lee Burke said something in one of his novels that resonates:
"There is no worse curse than approval."
And in the same vein:
"Everything popular is wrong." Oscar Wilde
FWIW...

Hello,
I'm slowly making progress with my ca. 1750s woman's shoe and would like to ask for feedback and pointers please! I have done the ribbon that covers the area where the upper pieces meet at the sides too short, pulled down the rear part of the shoe a bit too much upon sewing it to the sole and heel cover and the point where the rand and heel cover meet doesn't align nicely. I guess I used a bit too thick leather for the rand in the first place. These are the major points/mistakes that come too my mind, but probably there's more. No idea if I'm anywhere near ok with the way I filled in the area under the insole as compared to originals?
I don't seem to be able to attach pictures here so I'm putting them up on my pinterest board:
Thanks in advance for all feedback!
Martin
