Hi! I am a full time artist, and if you'd like to support my work, please check out www.wornwizard.com. I'm primarily making jewelry now. I get a lot of comments asking me to slow down the video... you're in luck! There is a full build series for these flip flops on my channel. Here's the first video - th-cam.com/video/wlH_W8PdZdI/w-d-xo.html
Before the process began I saw the photo of the most beautiful pair of flip flops imaginable and then being guided through he making with such wonderful music has been a joy.🥰
This is an amazing video. I’m new to the craft and mainly lean via lurking on forums and tutorial videos. This is, by far, the best one. I’ve been wanting to make sandals for a while but haven’t found much in tutorials. This feels like the holy grail. Thank you.
Nicholas Furious I know, he’s so fast lol 😂
So I watched like 15 different DIY Sandal videos on TH-cam, but this one is the most professional by a very big margin! Good job Sir, I respect your attention to detail!
The "Don't fall asleep subtext" while i was falling asleep was a killer! Amazing video.
I have to say, from one leather crafter to another that is one of the finest pairs of flip flops I have ever seen.

Ross Jordan That means a lot, thank you!
@@wornwizard nice work.... my only question is what's the reason for using pinesol in your water? After just over 50 years of working leather this is the first I've seen of anyone using pinesol in there water... Again, good job and look forward to hearing from you.
@@jessemarvin3217 You have a lot more experience than I do. A few year back I was having black speckles show up on hides occasionally, I thought maybe it was oxidizing metal dust from the air. I asked about it in a fb group and someone suggested it may be a mold or impurities in my water, and to try adding a bit of pinesol to my water. It worked and I've been using it ever since. Let me know what your thoughts are on this!
Ross Jordan ...now...I....selep...

These will last forever! Such a perfect job!
Stunning, just stunning! In college my wife made leather coats. They were pretty popular. Of course that was more than 45yrs ago! ☺️
Wow, they turned out so great! I love the burnished edges everywhere - even "good" expensive leather sandals today often are left with rough edges - to me, that just looks cheap and careless and unfinished.
I learned a lot, thank you!
I've never liked flip flops very much. I've warn them, but never with love. I'd sport these beauties any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Talk about a work of art.
Ah ha! Thank you! I've been wanting to make my own flip flops but couldn't find what material to make the soles out of, aside from reusing tires. You gave me the right direction at the right time, som uch gratitude!
Great video, no blah blah story straight to the making and some awesome flip flops at the end. My compliments and thank you for sharing
Wow! That's quite a few hours worth of work. You've inspired me to try some simple leather work.
Is great to work with leather. I wish I have my own studio. If yes I would stay there all day...
Had no ideal what all goes into this.assumed they were mass produced by machine.never thought the craft was still alive.thanx for a great demo.
you can still get hand made custom fit shoes and boots. you just have to be willing to pay for it. its one of those things where if you have to ask how much it is, you can't afford it. The cheapest bespoke bootmaker i know of starts at around 800 for a relatively no frills boot. crafts never truely die. they just become rare and demand a premium.
You’re doing a wonderful job, very efficient... I have ocd. I say that to say, just as u said, “don’t fall asleep” I was thinking... maaaan this is relaxing! Thank you for sharing!
I have ocd too where are you from
Hands down those the best flip flops i have ever seen and the craftsmanship is awesome.
Lew Ashby wow thank you! that's super nice to say!

You are a genius, and I want to learn the tricks with you.
I followed the guide and made a wonderful pair! Thank you so very much !!!
Wow! Im impressed! Those are probably the best pair of flipflaps i ever seen! AWESOME!😎👍
L
Thank you for the tutorial! The final product looks AMAZING! You inspired me to learn new skills and take on a challenge. 🙏
Those are awesome!!! I know how much work/love goes into making custom foot wear, I’ve made many pair of custom molded sandals for my wife and myself. You should be very proud. My wife likes flip flops so maybe I’ll give your idea a try. Ed
Marcey Robinet OK.. b...
One of the best tutorial, well done! You work like a master 👍🌹🌹🙏
Great music choice. I wished I could hand stitch that fast, lol. I prefer machine stitching cause it saves my old hands. Great job on making the sandals. I hope you get your price for a well made hand made product.

Looking for years to find one like these, but no luck.
Brilliant job!
Great illustration of how much time and effort an artist actually puts into their work.
Very fine craftsmanship. Fine production all round.decent sandals last some time and a fine pair like this would be worth Pain for. Glad I found. Thanks !
You make me want to go buy some leather working tools! Great video, and those sandals look terrific.
Ok...let me just say that I'm so happy I watched it!
Firstly you are so handy. You have golden hands, lots of patience and skills.
As I was enjoying every step from the beginning to the end and I was thinking: how can you put a price on those shoes after all? It's not possible.
Thank you so much for the eye-openner)) in the best way.
You are brilliant at what you doing.
Fantastic bit of work. I'll expect they take a while to break in but once they do they will be the most comfy flipflops ever.
That was one of the best things I’ve watched in long time thank you for doing it I was wondering how you would protect the stitching of the soles deeper cut then you pulled out the crape material The it was answered right there ! Need to watch again to see if I missed where you said what weight leather you used
Again pleasure watching true craftsmanship
Turkey Creek Custom Knives
WOW.That is a LOT of work. They are beautiful. Well done.
PARABÉNS!!! Quanta habilidade, você brinca com as ferramentas, parece um maestro ao executar o trabalho! Show!!!
Obrigado por compartilhar comigo seus conhecimentos.
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
I gotta ask, how much actual time did you have in these. Truly a thing of beauty and you deserve all of the accolades you receive. Amazing, the quality of craftsmanship unequaled and just mind blowing the time and effort placed in these sandals.
Thank you so much for the journey, now I know why, hand crafted items are so rare to find, and when you do, it's out of appreciation for that time and effort that we pay the price willingly for them.I will indeed subscribe, because to not to, would be an embarrassment to myself.
If I had a choice out of all the fine leather work on TH-cam, I'd not give it a second thought...it would be a pair of your flip flops. Quality work brother. I'm gonna be sad until the day I own a pair.
I really appreciate that!
Between the music and the craftsmanship that was a well spent 20 minutes
Thinks makes me want to pay a premium for leather flip flops! Beautiful work, great music.
Classy work of art! Great workmanship. Simply beautiful.
Wow, a piece of art, Armani flip-flops. Great video. Truly inspiring to pick up the craft. I would hesitate to wear them, just show them off very occasionally. Vanishing skills?
SL monsieur je m'appelle Jean Yombouno orphelins de père e mère handicapé physique j'ai dore cet travail je les appris pour gagner dignement z honnêtement ma vie .

This is GREAT! One of my next projects! And so glad to know about the rubber sole sheet!
910K views !!! Awesome !!!. My best and longest lasting flip flops was a pair that Berts Surf Shop in eastern NC sold. They have long since stop carrying their house branded flop and sell the rainbow brand. No where as long lasting. Love this video. Thanks. Tom
Lindo seu trabalho e principalmente seu amor em compartilhar seu talento!!!
never wanted a pair of flip flops never ...now I do ....WOW!
Love these. Absolutely gorgeous! Feel inspired now! Thank you.
Excellent video and a real work of art. True craftsmanship. Keep up the good work. Thanks. Pedro.
Just plain amazing! Keep up the good work!👍
Wooooooooow, you are amazing; congratulations my friend. Perfect job, many thanks for share.
ahhhhhh i loooove your work and your are amazing wornwizard. I really believe i will get here soon as i complete shoe school in the next five years.
I can't believe man how creative you Are, mind blowing 👍..
While watching I can say how efforts it needs inorder to make the good outcomes, outstanding brother I appreciate ua hard work, keep going and explore more ❤️. GOOD LUCK
Leather has taught me so much about patience lol. Every piece requires love and attention.
U cute
True :)
It also teaches about killing done to get leather in the first place. So much in the name of love.
@@Exiide89 How far removed we are from the earth where killing animals for sustenance and survival seems beneath us.
A leather piece of clothing is made from the waste of butchering of an animal for food. Skin is useless without making it into leather. At the end of the day I'm much more comfortable with a piece of solid leather footwear that will last a decade, than buying a new pair of shoes that will only last a year, crafted by child slaves in some horrible part of the world.
It's only our misunderstanding and willful blindness of the suffering of other human beings that we could think a natural and extremely durable product such as leather could be offensive.
Call your local butcher, pick up some deer skin for next to nothing and take that waste and make it into something beautiful and useful.
Then you will understand my friend.
Get back in the woods, and back to our shared heritage as curators of the planet.
I wear 7 1/2. TAKE MY MONEY! I need these!💰 Awesome work btw.😎
Great video, excellent workmanship and very educational. Thank you for sharing my friend
GREAT WORK!!! I'm amazed at the work that went into making your leather flip flops by hand.
Thank you!
MakerDad - its a very complex process , so please would you be polite sir to tell us - I guess you manufacture also for sale, or if not approx how much those pair worth it, thanks for an answer.
Excellent craftsmanship. :)
Those turned out so beautiful :) I never really knew how leather shoes are made so this was an interesting video to watch.
Excelente programaciòn didáctica y pedagògica. Les felicito y agradezco su valioso aporte en pro del bienestar a travès de estas pràcticas enseñanzas.
That's some heirloom-quality footwear, right there.
Need to get you one of them dremel bit burnishers. I love the one I have
Wow! So much Handcraft, so much beautiful! Respect!
holy sandal! Holy flip flop :D Amazing craftmanship!
Nearly 1 million views! I still can't wrap my head around that number. Thank you for watching! Please subscribe for many more videos!
Whats the leather thickness on all three layers? how do you determine the the strap and thong size?
@@jake210c Check out my FAQ and tutorial videos
*Cual seria el costo* ?
MakerDad I have the gear and skills but not the measurements or patterns. I went to @jake210c on Twitter with no results. I assume I’m not going to the right place. Where might one obtain this information good sir? Great tips BTW. Video is straight to the point and loaded with great information. Thanks.
@@MrTTdawgTT Watch my tutorials. The first one discusses the pattern.
Хорошая работа! Спасибо!
Love this video! I think I may just make myself a pair of flip flops for this summer. Thanks so much for sharing!
nice..fine..high quality..very durable..sandals fit for a king..very nice work sir..
Excellent work sir.
Отличная работа! Купил бы с удовольствием! (Russia)
Да, такие сланцы стоят наверное дохрена!
I know this is an old video with a lot of comments, but I just HAD to say this... Why on EARTH didn't _I_ think of the sock on the hand thing?!?!?!? Genius, pure simple genius. Gonna have to steal that one.
Was looking for a project as a gift. Found it. Good works.
Very well !!! Nice Work !!! Nice Filip !!!
Now that’s a set of Jerusalem Cruisers! Manly footwear here is Cowboy boots. But I’d wear them slippers! Tejas Amigo
Hahahah
Very good slippers.
Class. Well made. Would buy a pair without thinking twice. Thanks.
This is wonderful...now all I have to do is ask if u sell them? My wife and I live at the beaches of SC and well most of our foot ware is sandals and flip flops...these would b nice to go out for dinner...again these are beautiful! So talented...
I break countless cheap flip flops and was recently given a pile of thin-medium thickness leather. Would it be possible for me to make an inferior recreation of these by adding a layer or two to the bottom?
If I can solve my flip flop problem with handmade sandals made from my grandmothers old cushion cover that would be awesome. I have very little experience with leather work, but I can do a little bit of everything and have been wanting to improve my skills in that area
Only one way to find out!
Everyone starts somewhere. Give it a try if you haven't already.
How do you want to gain experience without starting up?. Just find some cheap material and make your best! good luck
Cushion covers are made of chrome tan leather. This is very soft and not comparable to the veg tanned leather he used. Without veg tan, you would need another type of stiff material for the soles. (Btw. I have the same problem. On youtube you only find people working with veg tan leather. But you rarely see chrome tan projects... )
In west Africa, sandals are worn by 95% of the population. I purchased some leather ones, handmade, in answer to your question. The bottoms are made from recycled motorcycle tires. Perhaps this might be of helpful.
Back in the 90's and 2000's, I had resigned myself that decent leather shoes and purses would be 100 dollars or much more and would save up or find them on sale.. Nowadays, purses and shoes of even that standard can't be found. The average American has been left out of the leather world. I haven't had a decent leather purse or pair of leather shoes since Doc Marten's. Sneakers are disgracefully being made with what looks like bridal veils and pot scrubbers. Good affordable shoes AND flip flops are hard to find. These flip flops are beautiful and high quality. I may have to learn how to make them. I wish he sold them on his website.
Teena Pittman since he doesn’t appear to be offering them for sale, I’d refer you to Southern Polished for high quality handmade sandals. There is a video on their TH-cam channel Trenton & Heath on how they make them.
Teena Pittman here it is th-cam.com/video/oW1QMNlQsgA/w-d-xo.html
I don't consider Docs to be good quality, but, if you are a woman who is gravitationally privileged (under, say 125 lbs) than you don't need as much cushion in the sole as I do at 200 Lbs :) :(
BTW, this guy cuts boot in half to show you how they are made!

They cost in excess of $500 but there are a number of leather boot companies in the Pacific northwest that make excellent quality handmade boots and shoes for men and women. Check out Whites, nicks and Frank's. There are a number of less prominent shoe makers sprinkled throughout the country. You just have to look. Quality comes at a price but it also lasts longer.
Well said👏
Thank you for sharing. I’m just getting started and you are an inspiration.
nice pair of flipflops, this video helped alot while i was looking what to do for the wife... keep up the great work... cheers
Nice! Thank you!
Beautiful workmanship ... And being leather shouldn't smell either . 😀😁🤣
WOW THERE ARE A LOT OF STEPS IN THAT PROCESS. Whew. YOU REALLY DO A BEAUTIFUL WORKMANSHIP ON THOSE SANDALS.👡. I'm certain those are not cheap. THANKS FOR THE VID IT WAS FASCINATING.💟👍🏼GOD BLESS YOU 🌴🙏🏼🌴 YOU ARE SURELY GIFTED.😎😂🙌
That was awesome. You are a true craftsman. All hand made and sewn. The only machine was the belt sander. Thanks for sharing!
It is beautiful friend I would love to work with leather to make a boot. Greetings from Mexico
Lalo Diaz awesome tutorial
Lalo Diaz =)
I want you to came to Namibia giving classes about it
Sounds like fun!
Wow! That's a lot of detailing and work. You're Awesome! Praise God!
Wow. I am planning to make 2-layers leather sandals for myself and this video of yours is a great inspiration! I wonder - what kind of stitching chisels (pricking irons?) do you use? Thank you.
Those are beautiful sandals. Now the real question how long did it really take you to make the pair of sandals? Just curious I'm just getting into enjoying leather work I don't throw up myself I can't but I enjoy watching others do it and I was just wondering how long it took. You do beautiful work
Christine Davis Thanks! Check out my channel, I did a full build series. Takes 2-3 days.
MakerDad What is the price of those hand made sandals?
Christine Davis This is good and beautiful I am also a women's shoes manufacturer
hassan hrazmi how much for a size EU 45??..? They have to be a mans shoe as I walk weird and need the thicker bottom on both?. It doesn't have to be fancy, I'm a simple person no frilly stuff!!!
Thank you!
Beautiful craftsmanship and beautiful flip flops.
Hermano, espectacular trabajo. Te felicito.
How many hours roughly, did you invest? Excellent work. Where do you purchase your leather, Tandy maybe?
Donald Haynes About 20-24 hours. And yes, Tandy. Thanks!!
In Southern India. " Madiga community". Done this type of sandle well... The had such a great talent today also They are preparing in frent of us. Such great humans...
What a great job! Thank you for sharing!
I think the flip flops look great! I would be interested in buying a pattern for the uppers if you have one.
These are beautiful! Now I understand this process, I will tackle the next project. Question for you. I see your fast flying fingers taped, I am guessing that is in lieu of thimbles. Have you mentioned what you tape with, before or how you decide where to tape?
Thank you! Good question. I use masking tape and leather wraps to protect my fingers on long sewing projects like these. Mostly the thread seems to cut into the bends in the joints of my index finger, but it can cut anywhere. You can definitely feel it start to happen if its from repetitive sewing. Your experience may vary! Check out my faq video and build series for more.
Excellent info and I will definitely check that out! I'm an avid, all over the place seamstress, crafter, DIYer, jack of all trades. Really appreciate the craftsmanship and the info sharing!

This really makes me want to make a pair of sandals. The only problem is that I have to wait until I wear my present sandals out so I can take them apart and make a pattern out of them.
Sam Harper You could do that, but you don't have to. I didn't cannibalize another pair, just traced my foot and marked the thong hole between my toes on the first pair.
Start making them cause by the time you get done your flaps will be wore out
They are beautiful!!! Flawless work
The Hand made craftsmanship Excellent job.
Awesome love them 👍
Lorraine Smith
They look amazing, how do they feel?
Mike Builds Really nice. As nice as they look! (to me anyway)
Well then they must feel superb because they look like you've been working in the shoe business for decades
Sir /ma'am
I also make handmade Ladies footwear please please watch once time and .if u like so please.............
That was and is awesome. Looks like a good winter project
Muito lindo seu trabalho! Parabéns! Só faltou o solado antiderrapante.
