Great work. Could you take a better pic of the last? Like much the sole work too & the leather. Another special make up of yours. Congrats.
Thanks for the kind words.
Actually, I don't have the boots with me at the moment as the boot trees are still pending due to Obon break when I was visiting. The boots took more work and time than normal to complete due to the design. If I understood him correctly, it already took him something like 3 days for the step of crimping of the uppers over the vamp. I will take more pics once I finally get them in my grubby hands.
I cannot take any credit for the special-ness of the make up! I only told Kyunai san - Shorter height Chelsea boot with no side seam and leather gussets. He went the extra mile to come out with this beautiful and more difficult design for the side seam. I was really only expecting the usual leather gusset side seam found on most lazyman designs. I am still wondering how the elastic is being attached.
Pic of the last on previous fitting visit, there were some slight adjustments after but I didn't take a pic of the last on the 3rd visit. I was also told there is some excess built in over the vamp and instep area on purpose due to the boot, otherwise it would be difficult to put on the boot.
