Applying a strip of randing to the edge of the shoe
Glueing the midsole
Glueing the wedge insert (yes there is a lot of glue-sniffing going on in my studio)
Putting the sock in
Et voila! It takes a while on the sanding machine, and I was covered in fine EVA foam dust, but now they're finished and he loves them.
I've got a bit of video footage of me on the sanding machine, I might edit it down and post it soon.

These shoes are awesome, I can't believe you made them, I'm so impressed.
I never paint my nails because they always end up chipped within an hour!
The shoes are fantastic! Worth chipping your nails for. I like that you coordinated your nail polish with your project :)
Yes indeed folks, I am a bit co-ordinated in the red nailpolish/red shoes department. It's my thing.
I guess it is pretty cool to be able to make shoes, I take it for granted a bit and when people ask incredulously 'how do you make a pair of shoes?!' I matter-of-factly reply in a casual manner.
Just wish I could make shoes all day every day, but you always want what you don't have.......
