[Guest grasi]

I start making my boots in real leather....

The problem is...hard to form!

So that's leather & not marine vinyl? Looks like vinyl to me. Looks pretty good.

Looks really good, wouldn't mind having a pair of leather ones!

Nice! Must be lovely to be able to have some boots that breathe and not keep all the sweat inside like vinyl.

smells good like real leather but very expensive

I'm glad you posted your build. I've been thinking about doing something similar for a while.

 

Can you tell us a bit more about the leather (thickness, amount of leather you purchased, what kind of leather...)

 

Looking forward to the final result!
