Unisex Sandals! Shoemaking Design That Stands The Test OF Time! [Join this summer course]

Discover the Full Process Behind These Handcrafted Unisex Mask Sandals 👣

In this video, I take you through every step of making my unisex Mask Sandals—a standout design that's proven its timeless appeal. Crafted originally in 2008, these sandals became a sensation, and their clean, asymmetrical lines are still turning heads in 2025.

What You’ll See & Learn:

Pattern & Design – How I draw and adjust the Mask Sandal pattern to fit anyone, maintaining both comfort and style.

Material Selection – Why I use vegetable‑tanned leather and how I introduced EVA‑foam soles for extra durability—especially for clients who need a more robust base.

Cutting the Pattern – Excise precision: cutting the upper and sole pieces cleanly using only simple tools.

Assembly & Stitching – Step-by-step tips as I assemble the upper, stitch details, and prepare the sole, using minimal yet professional techniques.

Lasting & Shaping – Watch how uppers take shape on the last, forming that barefoot‑like comfort with a secure fit.

Sole Bonding & Cushioning – The EVA‑foam glue‑up process: how I blend comfort, strength, and flexibility in my sandals.

Finishing Touches – How I polish edges, finalize seams, and apply that pro‑grade shine—without fancy tools.

By the end, you’ll see how a single design can transform into a comfortable, stylish unisex sandal that flatters any foot. Whether you're a beginner learning shoe patterning or an experienced maker fine-tuning your finishing skills, this is a complete shoemaking experience.
