And the last pair…

Diane's earth-toned shoes

Here they are, the final pair of prototype shoes. Made in earth-toned colours, as requested, this is a very heavily interfaced crepe-de-chine. The lining’s a gorgeous bright orange, and the copper coloured ribbons are a perfect match.

I’ve started getting some feedback from my shoe testers, which has thankfully been pretty consistent. It looks as though there are a couple of changes I need to make to the basic pattern, but once that’s done I can feel a few more pairs of shoes coming on.

  1. They are pretty! So what’s the kind of wearing you can do for these shoes? What’s the sole made of? Can you wear them outside? I like them but don’t think they’ll suit my ride-around-in-the-rain lifestyle!

  2. Thank you!
    The sole is made from 5mm thick ridged rubber, and you can definitely wear them outside. The uppers are made from the outer fabric, an inner lining, a padded layer for comfiness and a canvas layer for strength. So they’re effectively the same as a pair of canvas pumps. You can stick them in the washing machine if they get dirty, but they won’t keep your feet dry if you jump into a puddle. 😉
