Roman 1st Century Calceus, patterned after those found at Mainz, Germany and at Qasr Ibrim, Egypt:

The hobnails:
10900.jpg


I have attempted to adhere to roman construction methods as much as I could. The soles, both the insole and the out-sole, are tunnel stitched to the upper and the inside back half of the boot is lined with wool flannel. Unlike a modern shoe there is no toe-box nor welt. The boot does have a tongue made from goat skin.

My entry into "Club Chukka."
10911.jpg

3 eyelet Chukka in black patent leather with red stitching.
10912.jpg


Full welt on horsebutt, spinning stitch with reverse color spinning stitch on leather midsole.Welt made by hand, 7 strand waxed end.

Italian leather outsole shaped by a broken piece of glass and sandpaper, heel lift stacked by hand, full peg outsole construction. Experimented with method of staining and dyeing outsole--- we'll see how that works out...

Total time invested: 2 weeks.

While you may/may not be a fan of black pantent---those of you who know me well (enough), know how speedy I am...to take 2 weeks and devote to a single boot/shoe is an accomplishment in and of itself.

I believe once I mentioned the 50 anniversary shoes, what the old masters made after 50 years in rthe trade. Now I could puit my hand to one.
What should i say. This could mean to a shoemaker the what a bishop would feel finding the Holy Grail. This shoe is just beautiful in every piece. 15 cm long, the upper is stitched sometimes 5 lines as close to each other as it is possible, with tiny/tiny little stitches. Perfect geometry, perfect symmerty, perfect stitching channel.
I found an old piece of newspaper - I believe they just placed inside later, anyway - that paper came from 1952, the darkest time of communism in Hungary. Here is the photo esaay about the process I op-ened that paper and about the shoe. I try to post more.

Nasser and all,
Siegel of California has been running a great closeout on solid brass buckles originally made for Coach Handbags. Some great ones in both 3/4" and 1 inch sizes. Sign up for their email Friday special list. This is the link to the page but I don't know if it will work if you aren't signed up.

This is a pair of shoes I have been thinking about doing for awhile. I decided to finish these before the jodhpurs to give me some practice with my new sewing machine.

I apologize for the incorrect posts, gosh; I hope this works.

Ok, I'm finally brave enough to post a picture, yay! Here is a picture of the boots I made after 10 days of INTENSE training with Marcell in Hungary. Not bad, huh? Thanks to the Koronya staff for all of their patience and wonderful training!
P.S. I also posted a shoe that I made before Marcell's training, uggghImage

I made a small mistake on these two straps jodhpurs,no one possibly will see it,but i know it is there,So they are made for their maker.BTW,I wouldn't burden you with more Jodhpurs for a while.

After so much silence a wholecut. Aniline dyed leather - a real challenge to keep clean and untouched by the so many tools we use - pliers, awls, hammer, etc.. Square shank, very light fiddleback as my customer wanted. I believe bevelled waist wouldn't have been a good choice anyway. If you are interested I will post a photo about the antiqued result soon.

Joining in on the jodhopper madness (I think we *should* have a 'boot of the month "challenge&#34Image...
11019.jpg

Jodhpur ankle boot, built on boot last (usually built on shoe last form, but I used a boot last to get the toe spring/heel height). Hardtke shrunken bull hide (Azteca), heavily antiqued and burnished. Handmade horse butt welt. Leather toe box. 1 3/4" Cuban heel.
11020.jpg

Horse butt ‘belt’, brass buckle. A bit of a ‘throwback’ enclosure on a throwback boot.

These ladies are very thin pigskin, backed with muslin. The insoles, soles and heels were all premade. To make a long story short, I had no business attempting a project of this complexity. Lots of problems in the process, lots of problems in the finished product. The tension and the toplines are all wrong. However, I am encouraged, because the "shoes" on my workbench look a lot like the shoes I saw in my head when I started.

Any feedback is appreciated. I am especially curious if this leather is inappropriate for shoes as a rule, of if it is merely inappropriate for my experience...?
