finally got around to making a mate for my celt/germanic shoe. i based my pattern on the one with the heel cup pictured on the vicus(sp?) site. i prob need to soak these in some oil to seal the leather good against the wet ground.

Hopefully on the inside? Although on the outside is good for snow and ice I believe i read somewhere!

That one could be made in the same fashion as the one he gives in the tutorial right? Although where does one get one of those "toe" forms for when the leather is drying?

Think an everyday shoehorn would work? I've got a plastic pair that I picked up a few years back for only a few dollars.
