Making a heel sandal

Hello friends, hope we're all doing good?
Today, I want to share how I made these beautiful heel sandal for some clients of mine.

The materials used were fibre, leather, gum, heel, shank,buckle, screw, and handmade sole.

The first step as shown above, is to cut the shape of the insoles I want and attach the shank to the middle firmly.

Using an adhesive glue, I glued all parts of the insole together.

I then cut a thin piece of the suede and gum it along the edges.

I also covered the front part of the shoe

The next thing I did was to wrap the bare heels with suede fabric because that was what I intended to use

The next step is to cut and sew the buckle and other shoe straps

After then, I nailed the insole to your last and attach straps and buckles

The next thing I did was to attach the sole using an adhesive glue, but I made sure there was a little space for the heel to stay.

Using a one inch screw, I scared screwed the heels unto the shoes

I then cut a small piece of leather paded with fibre to be used for laying on the insole and covering the screws we used

And finally, I use an adhesive glue to attach the leather with the shoe.
