And I wear orthotics! I get tired of tennis shoes and ugly shoes, but so far my inventive thought processes haven't come up with a good shoe technique. Oh well, think I'll go back to knitting and drinking my homemade latte'! I’ve often thought about making shoes, too. And I wear orthotics!

I do have Mary Wales Loomis' book, and the construction techniques are brilliant, but I still have a problem with the soles. I can't find anywhere to buy shoe findings in the UK, and I don't want to make new shoes to sell using recycled soles. The rest of it is really useful though. :) Thank you!
