Learning experience in cordwaining

I wore these everywhere I went for the most part. In eastern PA we get all kinds of weather and these held up great.

The leather aged beautifully. Even though I didn’t do a great job clicking the leather I am very happy with this leather.

I designed and made these boots myself and they are overall okay. The stitchdown construction held up awesome. My sewing is bad but it is functional so far. I learned a lot since making this pair and will continue to wear this pair.

I hated this sole honestly I switched it out as soon as it started snowing. Almost no traction and honestly was uncomfortable for me. They looked cool though.

I love this sole for the winter. It has tons of traction and holds up awesome. I live in/close to Pittsburgh and it was perfect for the conditions.

I loved these boots. They might not be the best designed or the best clicked boots, but I had so many memories in these boots. I even proposed in these boots. I will wear these boots till they fall apart. Then I will remake them l, hopefully better next time.
