How to make Derby (lace-up shoes)
Cut along the lines with a cutter or scissors.
Step 4
Punch holes in the cut-out pattern.
Step 5
Trace the pattern onto the back of your material with a pen.
Step 6
After drawing all of the left shoe, flip it over and draw the right shoe.
Shoe patterns have a right and a left side.
Mark the inside of the foot on the pattern and be careful not to confuse the right and left patterns!
Step 7
Cut along the lines and marks with a knife or sharp scissors, and punch holes.
Step 8
Once all the patterns are cut, temporarily fasten the left and right parts in the correct positions with masking tape.
Step 9
Pass a needle through each end of the included thread.
Insert the needle at position A and pull the thread until both ends are the same length.
Sew to point D with needle 1.
After finishing sewing with needle 2 to point D, then insert needle 1 into position D on the sole.
Step 10
Now, sew the upper and sole together using a saddle stitch method, where you alternate sewing with both needles.
For the side seams, stitch with a single thread and sew back from the end in the same way.
To finish, double stitch both threads and cut at the end.
Insert the insole, thread the laces, and it's complete!
This time, we used brown synthetic leather, but just by changing the material, the atmosphere changes so much. It's also fun to create original designs based on the patterns.
Soles recognized by shoe designers (craftsmen)
We had Mr. Iida, a designer/shoe craftsman from DECO&BOCO, purchase our soles and make samples.
It's also popular among craftsmen who usually spend a lot of time and effort making shoes. Since it can be made in a relatively short time, they plan to create a second line using "LOPER" separate from their regular line.
It's also perfect for shoe-making workshops.
Customer Feedback
Expanding D.I.Y. Consciousness with LOPER
Our goal is to one day create a kids' size "LOPER" so that all children can experience making shoes.
The world of shoemaking harbors many deep-rooted problems that are not visible on the surface.
From "difficult" to "fun" because you make it yourself.
When you use something you made yourself, or wear something where you know who made it, you can cherish it more.
Such a life should be richer and more enjoyable than a life of constantly acquiring new things and consuming.
If you want to try making your own shoes, make them as a gift, or start a shoe brand, you should definitely give it a try.
You can download the pattern from this link.
