Black boot, Purple Zipper? Interesting shoes

We reattached the sole on this boot.
First time I saw a purple zipper in a black boot.  I thought it was interesting.

Old Friend Slippers Before and After

 After removing the soles on these "Old Friend" house slippers, I decided these would be a good before and after.  The old soles were brittle and crumbling and I was able to resole them with some flexible cowhide leather that had been deer tanned.
Now this customer has their favorite house slippers and can continue to enjoy them for a good while longer.

Ostrich Skin Boots Resoled and Heeled Before and After



This pair of Ostrich Skin Boots was half-soled and heeled.  Ostrich skin is easy to identify by the prominent bumps where the feathers were attached.  I really enjoy working on nice boots like these.
