I am new and will focus on weapon building over garb at first, but I would like to start of some garb also, so I am looking for some leather to make shoes out of. I was thinking some armor grade for the soles so they last longer (I thought about hardened but that would probably not work when they get wet) and then something soft for the top pattern. I wont need enough leather to justify an order and so was hoping someone here might have some that I could get some cheap.
So... anyone have some leather scraps/bits that are about the right size for shoes?

I actually -have- armor grade shoe sole leather. They're size 11 or 13-ish I think (mens) and if you'll be at Gates I'll be glad to bring them to you. As far as the uppers and all that go, I'd either suggest scouring tandy for a remnant sale (if they have those) or a craft store for some thinner leather. I, unfortunately, don't have any thin leather that's in large enough pieces to put together a shoe from. Also check out Alric's turnshoe pattern. They're fabulous from what I've been told. www.dagorhir.com/forums/index.php?topic=15949.0

Honestly just get a good pair of sneakers and put some covers over them.
