Venerable Skills: Sandals

Description
I made a pair of sandals from loya cane. Walking bare footed in the bush generally doesn"t cause problems for my feet. But when repetitively carrying loads of various materials the soles of the feet become cracked and split. So I made some basic footwear for the purpose of working on rough surfaces.
I cut some cane and measured out a length 6 times the length of the foot (about 1.5 m), folded it into loops and wove more cane between the loops to form the sole, adding new cane as needed. Next, I made bark fiber cordage and threaded it through the sandal to keep it on. The pair took about 1 hour to make (longer due to setting up the camera).
The sandals do protect from the ground, preventing the feet from cracking. I personally don"t like wearing footwear in the forest as bare feet give better grip, especially on inclines. But for heavy work or when my feet are injured I"ll wear these. These sandals are so quick to make that I"ve already got 2 pairs. The material used to make them (loya cane) is everywhere here but pretty much any rope like material will do. Bark fiber rope, grass, vine, flexible roots etc. will all make usable alternative materials.

Spikes These are removed by pulling the leaves back and down. The whole sheath comes off, spikes included More cane Measure out a length 6 times that of the foot Form 2 loops Put between the toes of both feet Weave another length of cane in and out between the loops This is standard weaving (over under) Pull back to tighten weave.
Add new lengths as the old ones finish Using one toe now to narrow sandal width (sandal is pointing backwards here) Cut excess and weave back into sandal Finished sole Tree with fibrous bark. Fallen branch underneath Break dead branch to strip bark Strip fibrous inner bark from outer bark Twisting cordage Twist 2 strands individually clockwise and together anticlockwise so they hold together.
Measure about 5 times foot length Thread through sandal with stick (the weave is tight) Now twist the two lengths of cord together Thread cords through back of sandal Making another sandal Finished sandals Put foot in sandal Cross cords behind heel Thread cords back under and then tie over foot.

Enormous impart, thanks for the detailed video's you’ve supplied. I am suprised that the of us that breeze on the display veil's love “Naked and Affraid” they hardley ever carry out shoes to give protection to in opposition to thorns. The easy ways you share simplest 1 % of the of us that know of them, by no method narrate them.
