Yes @Manuel
I think you'll find a nice home in the shoemaker's thread, the people there are nice and you can share / discuss techniques. It'll help your progression as a shoemaker.
Cheers.

Alright: the welt looks a bit too wide, the toe is too round for a square one, the stitching is a curved mess, the heel is not secure, the material must be corrected grain. I'm picturing them as I type and cringe at the maker.

PatrickBOOTH has too many black shoes and walks too much.

All of you members have mostly silly SF messages, the mods are too random, the site font is boring.

Styleforum isn't what it used to be, my pay is too low, I'm overeducated for what I do, and the next Brooks Brothers sale is taking too long to arrive.
