Valkenburg/Castleford style caliga step by step

[Martin Moser]

After putting on the shoe and finetuning the length of the inner cutouts, strap tabs etc. the shoes are finally finished ...







Total time for this one shoe I estimate around 11-12 hours (just saw that in a few places I forgot to add the time needed). Let's not talk about my research time ;-) ) .
This is of course partly due to the fact that it was a first and I didn't do batches of the same production step (making a pair or higher number of like shoes at the same time), so this could perhaps be pushed down by 2-3 hours. For a first try, however, I'd say expect at least 20 hours for a pair if you follow the details above.
