I'm going to France in a couple months, so let me see if I can do this one:

I noticed that you made one pair of shoes (???) on the same last. That was (well advised???), and I admire your patience to better assure a success.

No the pair of shoes i made was on an other last. This is a new last and will make a new "slipper" (i don't know how to call it) or trying shoes?? for this last with this design. This is just the very beginning.

But i will keep posting step by step.

I think you're responding to my probably idiotic translation of the post I was quoting. I was just trying to test my French.

I really like the shoes!

 

[fullb]

Sorry.

And your translation was not idiotic.

How did you create the last, or did you buy a last that you knew fit you well?

I bought the last on ebay it is supposed to be my size, considering all the measurement they should fit perfectly but i need to make a trying shoes first to be sure. If not i will make some modifications.

I've been inspired all day since I first saw this this morning before going to work. I really want to do this.

You just have to try and lucky you i think you should find enough informations on my blog (articles and links) to know in which direction you have to work.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
