I'm going to France in a couple months, so let me see if I can do this one:
I noticed that you made one pair of shoes (???) on the same last. That was (well advised???), and I admire your patience to better assure a success.

No the pair of shoes i made was on an other last. This is a new last and will make a new "slipper" (i don't know how to call it) or trying shoes?? for this last with this design. This is just the very beginning.
But i will keep posting step by step.

I really like the shoes!

I bought the last on ebay it is supposed to be my size, considering all the measurement they should fit perfectly but i need to make a trying shoes first to be sure. If not i will make some modifications.
