Shoe repairer here. Please scuff up the sole before you glue it. It makes the bond much longer lasting because the glue has more surface area to stick to.
I noticed that too. However, since he stitched at the edge, it doesn't matter that much as the stitching will secure the sole and upper. It'll also be helpful when the sole need replacement and the cobbler don't have to fight with strong glue to remove the worn off sole.
Umm he glued the flesh side to the rubber sole no need to rough it up. The inside needs roughing before the inner sole is attached which he didn't show but he did everything correctly.

First time I saw Tony sharpen a carpet knife blade I thought he was just being thrifty… and maybe so, then I tried it myself. WHOA! Give those blades a little love on a strop and you can make them RAZOR SHARP!! Much sharper than out of the box! Thanks again, Tony 👍🏼
I just don't like having to deal with disposing them, so I sharpen my utility knife blades. It's just plain wasteful and potentially hazardous to throw them away.
That was spectacular. I have always wanted to try making a shoe, but was terrified at the prospect. Can't thank you enough for sourcing the sole. I will get started right away. At 65 years old new challenges are greatly welcomed. Thank you again. Cheers!
Omygosh thank you so much for this content! Beginner leathercrafter here and I find your video to be so detailed and well-explained. No need to watch hundreds of videos just to grasp the basics😊
Interesting! And now I know why I'm glad to invest a fair amount of cash in a good pair of shoes. 😉 Let's hope that people will start to have more respect for and value the craftsmanship behind the things they buy. 👍
You are the best teacher I've ever seen, thank you for making this very easy, it's been my dream to make my own pair of sneakers, because I'm designer by training and a musician from South Africa. Keep on inspiring us, I have so much respect and admiration for you. Much love!! ❤
Tony, you're great. I always love your patterns and I will keep buying your patterns. I would love if you can make simple and easy to follow patterns like this for casual shoes too. Thank you for the great works.
Looks amazing, as always ! wanted this so much to come out, thank you for your designs Tony and the team ! Bought the soles / pattern even before your video came out, couldn't wait !
Making my first pair of shoes, I'm waiting for the adhesive to dry, ( my grandson is almost four and he is helping with a little plastic hammer). I live in Australia and we have a leather processing factory which is open to the public not 15 minutes away, I have kangaroo leather..it's only 1mm thick but really strong and flexible. I'm hoping it works out.
Awesome video. Can you please tell us more about the glue that you used to glue the uppers to the soles. Exactly what sort of glue do we need to look for? I take it that you can't use that first glue (Fiebings?) that you used to stick the fabric to the leather?
Me encanta lo detallista que es usted para explicar cada paso. Muy agradecido pues soy un aprendiz y su canal me animan a hacer sus trabajos. Gracias de verdad.
Hi Tony - Great TH-cam chat today. I would love to go to Marseilles one day, too. Because I'm in California, it would be easier for me to go to Tahiti. My European shoe size is 41.
Thank you so much for this video, I make doll shoes for diffrent size dolls ranging from 9"-24", I sometimes feel like my shoe pattern shape is not correct, bt 4 the ones I am currently creating, they look almost identical to the ones u show here in this video.
Well Mr Tony, I finished my sneakers, and wore them while walking the dog. They stretched a little to fit my foot and were more comfortable after the walk. I am very happy with the result for my first pair of shoes. Great design and easy to put together, especially with your great video instructions. Now for the Moccaboots!!
What tool can I use to punch out the holes for the shoelace eyelets? Can I just use a larger hole punching device? What size grommets and holes are they?
Thank you so much brother, I have got that an idea God bless you so much, but I haven't even laptop which may use it to form the structure as I saw when you started to show us how make it, so what will I do is there any alternatives
Muy buen trabajo dieselpunk estaría bien que diseñara también unas zapatillas que cubrieran el talón estilo Converse muchas gracias un gran trabajo espero poder comprar tu patrón pronto gracias
Great video, I have a question about buying the soles. I wear a 10 1/2 Wide US shoe size. Would that still be a US 10 or do I need to find another sole?
This video is a godsend and now I'm dying to know when you'll have the size 43 insoles back in stock! Also, does anyone know of or have any leads on where I can get a US men's size 18 (yes, truly!) insole and pattern in this style? My partner could use some well made shoes and really struggles to find anything in his size. 💔
Hi Tony, quick question...I just bought your fabulous pattern for the sneakers and they made up okay (bit tight on the inside where the front sections meet the sides) but I was wondering if the sole pad "left" and "right" labels being the wrong way around is the only piece that's wrong? Kinda pulls funny across the toe now that I've worn them for a couple of days but that is probably me not knowing exactly the right tension for the stitching! I've made around 30 pairs of conventionally made boots and shoes and your system is WAY quicker and easier. I love your patterns and videos, always look forward to your new ones. Thanks for your time and effort!
I am from Trinidad and Tobago Is it possible for me to purchase the said pattern using an Amazon gift card … which I received as a Christmas 2023 gift from my friend … or is this pattern listed or available on Amazon
Excellent as always Tony!.. I've been watching you and buying your patterns for years but I keep forgetting to ask you what size and type needles do you use?? I've looked through the John James catalogue but the needles you use seem to be longer than any I have bought.
It gives Pattens form Nike Af1 or Jordan & Ts BUT VERY EXPENSIVE for ONLY ONE SIZE 250€ 🥵 so I say BIG THX TONY for this AWESOME SNEAKERS PATTEN some of my next project 🥰
Is there any chance you could do the pattern for size US 13? Or maybe a print it a bit larger? If youk now what the scale factor would be, or the measurements on 1 part and I could figure it out from there.
Hola, hay un paso que te has saltado y no lo tengo claro, la plantilla de piel y tela, veo que esta cosida pero no se si la has metido y esta suelta o cosida en unión a la plantilla de abajo, o simplemente pegada. Me lo puedes confirmar? Por cierto si hicieras el vídeo en español mejor, porque me entero de la mitad,😢. Gracias
Is it me or did nothing get dine with the masking tape that was put in the outsole. He marked some lines on it using the pattern…but then the next step just uses the pattern. So it looks like the masking tape that was put in the outsole didnt get used for anything.
Yes. It’s you. The demonstration was for anyone who needs to adapt their sole to the pattern. My patterns however match the soles so no modifications were necessary
@@DieselpunkRo ahh ok …i see now. Thank you for the clarification. So one woukd use the masking tape in the sole to use a different sole. Thank you. Btw I love your videos. This one was so interesting and informative.

I make my own belts, wallet, and shoes, its nice having a deeper personal connection to the things I use everyday
Same!!!
Nice Job. As a former shoe repairman (18 years experience) I would recommend scuffing the sole material with sand paper for a stronger bond.
Would you scuff the rubber sole or the leather or both

Fantastic. Can’t wait to make them. I would love to see a version with a good year welt so they can be resoled!

I'm super stoked for this! My soles from The Leather Republic are already shipped, so I can't wait.

Tony, I love this! I can't wait to make some for my family. But is there a way for you to make a pattern for a size 13 US? My family has big feet.
Beautiful work, again! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us, Tony!
You did an awesome job!! I usually see people doing the lazy route by just stitching the upper to the bottom outsole...
Hi Tony - Great TH-cam chat today. I would love to go to Marseilles one day, too. Because I'm in California, it would be easier for me to go to Tahiti. My European shoe size is 41.
I love to see you make some old fashioned looking boots I bet that be cool then do a part two video turning the base boot into a steampunk boot
Love the channel...do you offer patterns for wide feet with a wide toe box. Like barefoot shoes. Keep up the great work
Is there a way to use the tall uppers from the loafers pack to make a high top sneaker?
Fantastic Tony! Really gives me the confidence to make sneakers!
Thank you so much for this video, I make doll shoes for diffrent size dolls ranging from 9"-24", I sometimes feel like my shoe pattern shape is not correct, bt 4 the ones I am currently creating, they look almost identical to the ones u show here in this video.
Please do a boot tutorial. Ive been wanting to make a pair of boots but there are so few actual tutorials out there.

I am very happy with the result for my first pair of shoes. Great design and easy to put together, especially with your great video instructions. Now for the Moccaboots!!
Moooooooore TONY WE NEED MORE OF THAT !!!
I appreciate ur learning. I really love ur work
Cool! I liked how you used everyday tools.
Will you be doing ankle boots too?
Now, this has got to be the most practical design/tutorial yet!!!!
Thanks Tony!!!
I am impressed and wondering if you can do a tailor made sneaker for a price? Would love to have a similar one but in white. Tks.
I always appreciate you Tony.. thanks for everything you share to us.. keep going
I love this style! Do you think this pattern would work for a wide toe box shoe?
What tool can I use to punch out the holes for the shoelace eyelets? Can I just use a larger hole punching device? What size grommets and holes are they?
You never cease to amaze me Tony, just amazing. Also thank you for the pattern. Much love to you and D from me and mine here in Cornwall, England
Thank you so much brother, I have got that an idea God bless you so much, but I haven't even laptop which may use it to form the structure as I saw when you started to show us how make it, so what will I do is there any alternatives
Have a print or advertising shop print it for you
exactly what I was looking for!
What are those little keepers for stitching? The ones you put in the stitch holes to keep your piece in place?
Positioning needles for stitching - www.etsy.com/listing/1415766387
What kind of leather do you recommend for this project?
Great work! Thanks for your job! From Russia!)
Any chance of a wide set off patterns for those of us with horizontally challenged feet?
They can be easily adapted to wider feet. Just need to source suitable soles
Wow love it 😍😍😍What are available sizes in the pattern please?
Very amazing looking and definitely looks fun to made
Beautiful Snickers! I bought the patterns but they are way too big for me. A size 37 would be perfect for me 😊
Working on smaller sizes as we speak
@@DieselpunkRo I would also buy from 37
Do you have patterns for sneakers with a wide toebox?
wonderful video. thank you for taking the time to make it.
Hi, just saw ur video liked it, I am learning show repair, any tips? Thanks
Muy buen trabajo dieselpunk estaría bien que diseñara también unas zapatillas que cubrieran el talón estilo Converse muchas gracias un gran trabajo espero poder comprar tu patrón pronto gracias
thank you, your video is inspiring 👍🏼
really love your pattern Tony thx . just a question , you think it is possible to make just one piece with the front and the top pieces ?
Great video, I have a question about buying the soles. I wear a 10 1/2 Wide US shoe size. Would that still be a US 10 or do I need to find another sole?
Truly amazing- I will make this one of my projects. 😊
Очень просто и интересно, спасибо за мастер-класс. Люблю твой Стиль Тони, иду шить себе снекерсы !
Hi Tony. I recently had one of my ankles fused. I have to wear full rocker bottom shoes now. Do you have a source for full rocker outsoles?
any idea of diy k leather football cleats?
Can you tell me what kind of lining was used in these sneakers?
Tony what leather do you recommend? Would 4oz natural vegtan work?
4 oz might be a bit too thin but if you line it with fabric you're gonna be fine
@@DieselpunkRo thank you. I’ll use thicker leather 6/7 oz.
Could you please make a list of materials you use?
What can you do to add some more cushioning to the shoe?
This video is a godsend and now I'm dying to know when you'll have the size 43 insoles back in stock!
Also, does anyone know of or have any leads on where I can get a US men's size 18 (yes, truly!) insole and pattern in this style? My partner could use some well made shoes and really struggles to find anything in his size. 💔

Diana my wife wears hers every day almost, no issues
@@DieselpunkRo thanks Tony, I'll try again with a softer leather. Again, love your work ❤️
What is the method of stitching that you use..I know it seems simple but I'm just learning and don't understand the 2 needle method
😮That was AMAZING!!! Thank you 🙏🏾
So I need size 47 and patterns only go up to 46. Would increasing the size .5 or .25 work?
You are the best man, thanks for this video
I am from Trinidad and Tobago
Is it possible for me to purchase the said pattern using an Amazon gift card … which I received as a Christmas 2023 gift from my friend … or is this pattern listed or available on Amazon

My boyfriend wears Mens size 18 U.S. is it possible to make with this method? I can't find this size shoe in the U.S. anymore.
Hi everyone. I need these soils size US 15, EU 50. Please, where can I buy it? Thanks a lot.
Is there any chance you could do the pattern for size US 13? Or maybe a print it a bit larger? If youk now what the scale factor would be, or the measurements on 1 part and I could figure it out from there.
I need the same thing, have you figured it out yet?
Next do a pair of horse riding shoes, that would be utterly awesome! Tony branded shoes that is a beautiful vision.
Hello, I would like the mold for size 8.5 and 7.

This is cool, can't wait to make one. Can I use suede instead of fabric for the lining?
Yes of course!
Hi. Have you barefoot shoes paterns with an orthopedic shape?
What about the sole pad? Did you sew it in?
Nicely explained good job

@@DieselpunkRo pattern templet please I would like to try my own
absolutelly fantastic
Hello, I would like to know if leather could be used for Automotive upholstery. I already have the patterns my doubt is that. Thank you
Yes, leather is used for automobile upholstery .
Search youtube for the channels.
Where do you source your glue from? Its hard to find large quantities of shoe/leather glue
What is a good source for the outsoles?
what weight/Thickness leather did you use?
Every time you pop up I wanna start singing 'Start wearing purple for me nooooooow!' at the top of my lungs.
Hi Tony is there a 12US Size of this pattern?
Interesting, but where do we source soles?
I imagine reapplying heat to the sole if it isn't seated sufficiently should help loosen the bond so you can push it down further
выглядит великолепно, как кроссовки, так и видео
My question is l would like to know and learn more about sneakers is there any opportunity to travel to your country for more practical
greetings from Turkey
What material should the fabric lining be made from?
you answered your own question: fabric
