Handmade Shoes for Men Review: Great history of shoemaking and very clear steps in the creation of bespoke shoes - Wow! I loved this book! I've wanted to learn how to hand-make shoes and this book is such a thorough step-by-step explanation for their creation. It also includes the history of shoes and shoemaking, last creation (a "last" is the shoe equivalent of a dressform), foot anatomy, leather and tanning techniques, and great detail about the most popular styles of men's shoes (and definitions for all the shoe terms). I've watched many hours of (free) videos of shoes being made by hand (from the same site where everyone goes for cute kitty videos!) so this was a great complement to those videos and explained some of the steps that I didn't see in the videos or just needed to see with different explanations. Since I have a background in patternmaking, fitting and sewing of garments, it wasn't that difficult a leap to see how to apply those same skills to making shoes. (If you don't have any background in sewing or patternmaking, you would probably need more than this book to get started in shoemaking, but it would still provide you with a wonderful exposure to the craft.) I found the photos to be of a very high quality and the step-by-step explanations to be very clear. I really felt like I could jump right into making a pair of shoes if I bought some of the basic shoemaking tools. Now that I've finished reading the entire book I'm signing up for a class to learn how to make beautiful shoes by hand so I can learn how to properly use these specific tools from someone skilled in the craft. The only thing this book was missing was more information about the pattern drafting/transfer process. The single-page on this topic was cursory and, even with my extensive draping and patternmaking experience, wasn't very helpful. (Even with this deficiency, it wasn't significant enough for me to remove an entire star for it. . . so I'm sticking with the 5-star rating since there isn't a 4 1/2-star option.) If you have any interest in shoes or learning how to make them, this is a GREAT book for you. Review: Great book for a largely unknown topic. - Wonderful book, great insight, and beautiful pictures. Explains the great craft and art in custom shoes and why the expense is not about garish luxury but valuable and reasonable investment in a beautiful art, an important aspect of your health, self image, and success not to mention a fair exchange for the craft and expertise involved in this increasingly rare and dying art form. Details shoe etiquette in mating the proper shoe style for the correct event and correct dress. After reading this book, owning custom shoes is a milestone that I look forward to one day soon reaching with the confidence that it is one of the better and more valuable purchases that a man will make in his lifetime. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,949,475 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #291 in Leathercrafting (Books) #3,221 in Fashion Craft #3,831 in Fashion Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (270) | | Dimensions | 8.75 x 1 x 10.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 3848003686 | | ISBN-13 | 978-3848003686 | | Item Weight | 2.34 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 216 pages | | Publication date | February 1, 2013 | | Publisher | h.f.ullmann publishing | ## Images ![Handmade Shoes for Men - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61EiM-DGmKL.jpg) ![Handmade Shoes for Men - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51LkrtZzE9L.jpg) ![Handmade Shoes for Men - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31zVgk--kVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great history of shoemaking and very clear steps in the creation of bespoke shoes *by J***S on June 15, 2014* Wow!

Explains the great craft and art in custom shoes and why the expense is not about garish luxury but valuable and reasonable investment in a beautiful art, an important aspect of your health, self image, and success not to mention a fair exchange for the craft and expertise involved in this increasingly rare and dying art form. Details shoe etiquette in mating the proper shoe style for the correct event and correct dress. After reading this book, owning custom shoes is a milestone that I look forward to one day soon reaching with the confidence that it is one of the better and more valuable purchases that a man will make in his lifetime. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The book on how to make real shoes. *by A***E on February 25, 2014* Now I know how to make shoes! I haven't made a pair as the tools (like the proper industrial sewing machine) will take time to gather; it is still awesome to find a book on how to do something that almost no one knows how to do. The book actually teaches you how to make real shoes, not how to "up-cycle" 2 liter bottles into shoes using duct tape and rat skins or how to make a sad pair of moccasins with your cub scout troop, like the other shoe making books I have seen. This book is very in depth and holds your hand through all of it. It is rather daunting to see all that goes into making a real pair of shoes not to mention the time required. If you have the time and drive, and willingness to put up with some failures, this book can teach you a nearly lost art. If you want to follow through on what the book teaches, you will also be on a long quest to find all the proper tools or to fabricate make shift versions of the ones you cannot find. Now to find a book on how to make real hats. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1215588-handmade-shoes-for-men](https://www.desertcart.ma/products/1215588-handmade-shoes-for-men) --- *Product available on Desertcart Morocco* *Store origin: MA* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
