How to make leather shoes without sewing. Leather and leather cement are great for this project.

Thank you for all the likes and comments!!!  : )

These shoes are made of about 50% post consumer waste.  

I like to think if there were a medieval skills olympics I could at least make the cut.  These are primitive in that no power tools are required for the process.  No technology required... except for a sharp knife.  

If the SHTF rest assured by having watched these steps you could come up with a makeshift pair of shoes for your family members.  
It's an excellent mental exercise to think of the supplies and things you already have that could use to create the things that you would need in an emergency.  Always a good idea to carry a sharp knife with you everywhere you go (where it is legal and safe) because you never know when you might need to create something to get you out of a jam.  

One of a kind, Bespoke leather shoes.  

Materials: 
some new leather for the hard heel, soles and footbed
recycled leather, contact cement, 4 nails (that remain in the heel)  2 gold color 4 prong tacks.  
Bike tire for the heel cap.  
Bike tubing to protect the sole. 
Lots of contact cement
4 nails
2 -4 prong tacks

 This was a lot more work than it seems in the video.   Next time I will buy the exact type of leather needed for the upper.  Would have liked the leather to be a bit stiffer and less stretchy.
