Finished these yesterday, wore them yesterday too! Extremely happy with how they turned out. 1,000 imperfections and mistakes but not bad for my first pair. Planning v1.1 already :-)

@aa they look beautiful!

@aa Very nice!

@aa Holy crap, you are making shoes now! AMAZING! 😀

@aa 🤩 They look incredible!

@aa looks more like v100 already! Very nice! 👌🏻

@aa hard to imagine this is the first try!

@aa Those look amazing 🤩

@aa Fantastic workmanship! Is the sole synthetic or rubber?

@Burk I know 🙈 can’t seem to stop!

@odd Thank you! Rubber outsole, 40% natural rubber apparently.

@tracydurnell Thank you! I am very happy with how they turned out.

@joelhamill Certainly a nice(r) pair of sneakers :-) Thank you!

@gregmoore Thanks!…I’m still a tad surprised they turned out.

@hutaffe Thanks for that! The next pair will be even better!

@toddgrotenhuis I’ve been thinking about starting them for 6 months or so, so maybe all of the thought along the way helped :-)

@bsag Thank you!!

@fahrni Thank you 😊

@aa I assume you had to acquire a lot of new cobbling tools to make these happen.

@gregmoore actually, and thankfully, the only additional tool I needed to buy was a sewing awl. Otherwise, I had everything else needed.

@aa Now you have me thinking that I could stitch my own leather shoes...🤔

@gregmoore give it a shot!
