MARVELLOUS.

Can you wear them outside?

Mrs Flibble, they are great! Oh my goodness, I've got a load of red leather that was going to be a bag but now I think they're destined for shoes. They are so cool. Are they comfy? Are they sturdy enough to go out in? Did you add a sole or is it all leather like the tutorial?

Mrs F, will you marry me . This could just be the answer to my YETI feet problem. I love you. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ok I'm sooooo excited now, I just got myself some offcuts from Fleabay and some leather thonging ( although I might save that for the old man ). I gave you a BIG shout on my blog too Mrs F. your a bloomin angel!

[mrsflibble]

yes they are comfy! yes they stand up t outside use!

I wore them yesterday on squidge's school trip, pretty much 6 hours on my feet. it was wonderful... especially when my friend's shop bought shoes fell apart and she had to borrow the teacher's spare flipflops lol.

These I love the look off so now I know what to make from the spare leather and thonging I have!!

They look amazingly similar to 'ghillie' shoes (worn for traditional Scottish and Irish dancing). Although ghillies have a separate stitched-on sole and use fabric shoelaces, they do up the same way and are amazingly light and supple - they just shape themselves to your feet. The ancestry is there for all to see...fascinating.
