Lasting-up a Derby shoe - Part 4 of 4 

Thanks for asking. That's a big one and there are many ways and solutions, depending on who the shoes are for and what will be helpful to them. Rigid leather for one, light weight EVA for another and thin thermal rubber for yet another still. I'm working first on the characteristics of the different forms of soling and heeling and for whom and what conditions each are of the most benefit.

Good question. It's certainly a skill in itself and there's nothing more frustrating than a bristle coming off half way through a job!!! Teaching it on RU-vid will take good photography and patience. I have a plan with my photographer to do just as you ask but we'll have to get through lockdown first.

Thank you. I really appreciate your feedback

Thank you Musafir. I don't do Goodyear welted shoes as that is a machine process with a canvas rib, cemented onto a flat innersole. I do hand sewn shoes where the welt is hand sewn into a holdfast shaped from the substance of the innersole and the welt is then hand stitched onto the sole. Is that what you meant?

@@orthopedicshoemaking5921 Thanks for Replying Sir what i was suggesting in the first comment can be understood by watching this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2eFkhLuRudA.html Sir if u spare some minutes and watch this video. i was suggesting the process of construction of this type of shoe. thanks

@@musafirhoon9259 Hey you might find the videos by Andrew Wrigley helpful. Here is this first video he does on the process of installing the rand and welt. He has a whole video series on making a shoe from start to finish. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g0u37xqzyLM.html
