This book makes an excellent gift for crafters, dressmakers, leather workers, and anyone who loves working with their hands! Review: Lots of pictures. Describes each tool, material, felt mock up pre-shoe. Crafters dream book! - Fragile pages but super high-quality information and colored photos step-by-step instruction. My favorite part was to find out the background of the author. I love cultural anthropology, and as she did her study, she found many ways to craft and how important it was that people had a skill to make their own life gardens shoes, shoes were very important and during her studies, she learned how to craft all these different ways so I’m not sure if she has a PhD or a masters, but it is written so anyone can understand it but so thoroughly the author is definitely brilliant now I have to get all the other books and check out her ball blog I would recommend this book and I would buy it again and I will buy all her other books. It looks so fun I’m so excited. Review: Ottimo e completo.... - Temevo che, come purtroppo molti altri testi simili, fosse lacunoso e superficiale nella trattazione...invece una graditissima sorpresa...molto completo e illuminante. Certo i passaggi teorici non sostituiscono l'esperienza legata alla manualità delle operazioni, ma comunque sono spiegati molto bene. Ovvio è necessario partire da una buona forma. Comunque consigliato!

Zapatos a mano
Muy buen libro con detalles para el diseño y tratamiento de material de piel para realizar zapatos y botas, tips y detalles para realizar zapatos a mano. Lo recomiendo en verdad, para personas que como yo quieren realizar sus zapatos o para aquellos que quieren iniciar en este oficio que es un arte.

Excellent
De tous les livres que j'ai acheté pour apprendre a faire des souliers, c'est le meilleur . Il y a toutes les explications, mais il faut acheter les formes de pieds (lasts) parce-qu'il n'y a pas d'explication pour se les fabriquer soi-meme. Il y en a sur le site Etsy.

Very well written with lots of details
Loved reading this book which will join a collection that I keep as reference for making shoes. Just be aware it only contains directions for derby shoes and ankle boots. However, it gives instruction on the entire process and uses leather and hand sewing, not glue and machines. For those just starting out, it is doable with a little persistence. The pattern section was a bit tedious to me. I just tape up a last and draw my pattern, then transfer it to paper. For those who are more mathematical, her technique may work better.
