June 14, 2013 Alligator sandals
Rare product from my workshop – a woman sandal. Every girl deserve to have a red, patent shiny, alligator sandal, right? 😉
Here is a close shot. The details of the alligator skin are just amazing. It is not the cheapest stuff to work with – I wouldn’t suggest it for beginners, but on the other hand – with a little experience – it is not crazy hard. There are plenty different finishes for the alligator skin from the ultra-soft, dress material to the hard, shiny one + many-many colors. The best idea, if you ever plan to make something from this noble material to go to the factory directly.
The interesting detail for shoemakers in this product is the counter. Shaping a counter in case of a normal shoe, is not a big deal – the toe lasting will take care of it, not in case of a sandal. Maybe once I will create a tutorial about that…

I really liked this one. I hope you’d make more shoes for women. After all, we are the all considered shoe addicts. 🙂
