: Winterised Flip Flops Jack Frost’s been pricking at my toes. Here illustrated as a cactus,
136001 141 Nike Air Jordan 12 XII Retro White French Blue(2), it’s hard to photograph cold at short notice.You got uppers and you got soles,
311832 162 Air Jordan 14 Retro White Black Red(19), get them together and you got shoes. I used push pins to tack mine on,
378037 041 Nike Air Jordan 11 Space Jams 2009(33), the soles I used were soft enough that I could do this with no damage at all,
414571 003 Air Jordan 13 Infrared Black Infrared 23 Black(1), I advise being sympathetic to the materials you’re working with,
308308 161 Nike Air Jordan 2 Iiretro White Varsity Red Black(7), if push pins might damage your soles then don’t use them, find some better way of doing it. At any rate once I had manipulated the uppers on to the sole I was able to try my shoes on for fit, being careful to avoid any tack in toe missteps. Now if the soles you used were a good match for your feet, and all the measurements you took when making your pattern resulted in an upper that is also a good match for your feet, then it follows that these should want to fit together,
136045 141 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro 3 4 High Men Laney White Varsity Royal Varsity Maize(19), but you may need to persuade them a little. I began at the back and worked my way forward. My advise is whatever you do to one shoe,
Nike Air Foamposite One Safari Black(14), do the other the same,
Women Size Air Jordan 6 Oreo 2014(16), and they should work out really well.Once you’ve checked the fit and you’re happy with it, (like incredibly super happy, these should be the best fitting pair of shoes ever!) you can start taking out the tacks one at a time and securing small sections with hot melt glue (or fabric glue) I went into a fair amount of detail when attaching the liners to the soles, so if you skipped that go back and read it now, seriously,
638471 101 Air Jordan 1 KO High OG Chicago(12), there’s some good advice in there. If the fit is not quite as super amazing as you would have hoped when you first try the shoes on,
136001 141 Nike Air Jordan 12 XII Retro White French Blue(5), you have the whole seam allowance to play around with so pop out the tacks in whatever area/s that’s causing trouble and make your adjustments, don’t forget to make a note of it so you can adjust your pattern for future projects.After I had everything glued in place I went around the shoes with my staple gun,
Women Size 616750 001 Nike Air Foamposite Pro Yeezy(16), I especially recommend this is you’re using a fabric glue that takes a long time to dry and tends to slip around a lot,
303891 004 Air Jordan 17 Low Black Chrome(32), the staples will secure everything till the glue dries. If you have no glue you may be able to just use staples. I did it because I find a lot of my flat shoes tend to tear apart,
407285 103 Jordan Pro Strong White Dark Pine Black(12), soles from uppers,
136001 014 Nike Air Jordan 12 XII Retro Nubucks UNC(15), and having just tried these shoes on for the first time and realizing how well they were turning out I decided I would want to wear them and I wanted them to last. When using staples make sure you angle the gun slightly towards the bottom of the sole, away from where your foot will be, and don’t put a staple too close to the edge of the sole, somewhere near the middle and angled down is ideal.One last finishing step and you’re shoes are complete: make a binding for the soles.I made my binding out of the same fabric I used throughout the shoe,
371496 991 Air Jordan 7 Retro DMP Bulls Magic(17), no particular reason,
344613 061 Air Jordan 1 Retro High Black Max Orange White(6), continuity I guess. Almost any other material you can think of would have been more suitable. Maybe I was trying to stop myself from ever wearing them outside; in spite of how proud I am of how they turned out these are ugly shoes, made from ugly fabric if I had put on a binding that would have held up to being worn out in the rain and stayed water tight I would have worn them out and teamed them with shirt printed with an arrow pointed down that says "I made these!" The flannel binding means they are just fine for indoor shoes, (or driving shoes, keep them in the car and swap heels for these, to drive in.)Whatever material you decide to make your binding out of get it out and follow these steps:Measure around the sole of the shoe, add an inch for overlap,
312567 141 Air Jordan 14 Retro Low White Pacific Blue(33), (depending on material you may not want it to overlap, but I would still cut a little extra, then trim to fit when attaching it to the shoe) measure the height of the sole of the shoe / how high you want the binding to go, if you are using something like rubber,
136045 101 Nike Air Jordan 5 V Retro 3 4 High Men White Metallic Silver Black(8), or leather you wont need to finish the cut edges, if you’re using a woven fabric, like I did, you’ll need to add a seam allowance for each edge,
385664 023 Womens Air Jordan 6 Black Infrared 2014 Black Black Infrared(16), then multiply the total height by 2,
Nike Kobe 9 Low EM Premium Laser Crimson(1), so you can cut out one long strip then cut it down length wise so you’ll have two matching strips ; one for each shoe. I folded over my seam allowances and ironed them flat, then sewed them on the machine for a neat finished edge. Then I tacked them and glued them on exactly the same as when attaching the linings to the the soles and when attaching the uppers to the soles. This final binding hides and secures everything and gives a really nice finish.
