How to Make Shoe Soles from Scratch | Flat Shoe Build + Heel Tips Tutorial (DIY Shoemaking)

In this video, I’m making a simple sole from scratch for a flat shoe, and then finishing it off with heel tips. This is a straightforward, practical process that you can adapt to your own shoemaking projects. I go through how I shape the sole, refine it, and get it ready for wear - nothing overly complicated, just solid, repeatable techniques. I also cover adding heel tips at the end, which makes a big difference to durability and gives a cleaner finish overall. If you’re working on your own shoes, or just want more control over your builds, this is a useful process to have in your toolkit.
