Nails for tightening the shoe upper to a shoe

Polyurethane glue "desmokol" duct tape

Harvesting of suede uppers shoes

Billets soles "Cheprak" (the most dense part of the skins of cows)

The first and most important stage - the production of shoe upper patterns. For this shoe paste adhesive tape and paint it on the desired silhouette. Silhouette cut out, removed from the pad and transferred to the skin.

Pads I buy in specialized shops for shoemakers, but then changes its shape to fit the desired size.
