Ive typed like 8 comments and deleted them. I am speechless. This just blows everything else I've seen out of the water. No tricks, no hacks, just skill and dedication. I hope your hard work pays off big.

very impressive dude, you deserve all the praise you are getting!

did you make these for yourself? are you a shoemaker?

edit i looked at the final pictures again, they are truly stunning. you could sell shoes like that for quite a bit of money if you wanted to.

I really thought you must have been exaggerating in your comment. Then I scrolled through the album. No exaggeration here, just an appreciation of truly spectacular workmanship. Wow.
