You really don’t need very much in the way of equipment to start making shoes. You need a _sharp_ craft knife (not a box cutter, something with a rigid blade), pen and paper, a narrow measuring tape (I get them out of “pocket” measuring tapes) which is easier to measure the circumferences of your foot with, an awl which needs to be polished smooth and have a slight chisel point, bristles (eBay) or fishing line (Maxima Chameleon works well) and some shoemakers wax which you can make or buy from Sorrel Notions and Findings.
