"Basics" is a loose term I suppose, since all you really need is a knife, some leather, nails, and some glue. Instead, here are the tools I use on a regular basis.

I'm so glad that I found you! I was watching Trenton and Heath resole the vintage lady boots and that is how. I've been really trying to get into shoemaking for years now and I've been leather working for 8+. Your videos on where to get supplies and tools and talking about what they are is a Godsend and I cannot thank you enough! I have not looked but, I plan on watching as many of your videos as possible and I hope you're still able to put out more. I hope all is well with you and thank you again for having such amazing content for someone who cannot afford to go to a fancy school and learn all about shoemaking!

[@VickyDIncecco]

Thanks Paul! Yes, I’ll be making more videos. I’ve just been busy :) Happy to help!

[@fiver-hoo]

my hammer fetish struck me today at an antique store and I bought a cobblers hammer, having no idea what it actually was! Short bit of time researching and I was able to figure out what it is called, but not what the claw end was used for. Couple hours on youtube finally I found this video and question answered! Have a great day.

[@laundrysauce234]

Been thinking about learning the shoe making trade cause i don’t wanna buy and trash more shoes. Nice to know i can use a lot of the stuff i use for my welding, albeit at the cost of some slight alterations.

[@neonviolent]

This was so helpful, I appreciate you so much. It’s a dying craft and so hard to find good tutorials. I’m so excited to explore the rest of your channel ❤

[@katipennington]

It was really interesting to see the tools you’re using and get some more info about them. Great video!

[@VickyDIncecco]

Thank you!

[@nevem5010]

So helpful and encouraging, thank you! I'm working up to making my first pair of shoes, and not knowing quite what equipment I need to gather together has been giving me a bit of a mental block, so I feel so much better for having watched this ❤.

[@VickyDIncecco]

Glad it helped!

[@Noname-bq4qc]

[@VickyDIncecco]

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it!

amazing shoe tools🌿 превосходная подборка инструмента

[@MindbodyMedic]

Gaziano and Girling make their clicker knives out of a hacksaw blade you buy in hardware store, not sure of brand. They hone each blade to make multiple small knives, must be due to quality of steel.

[@austinnewman5760]

Thank you for the video. I have been very interested in making my own shoes and working with leather. Most leather starter kits and guides are for completely impractical crafts and I want to apply it to something actually useful like shoe making.

[@unclejoe7466]

Great info, Vicky! Thanks! I just subscribed -- now, to get caught up on all the cool vids...

[@havealharvest9699]

I just came across your channel. I have always been interested in the art of Shoe making and I am confident that I can learn a thing or 2 from you... I got my eye on you lady👀👀👀

[@MVsFavorites]

You have a wonderful presentation style! Also super informative!

[@VickyDIncecco]

[@VickyDIncecco]

My pleasure! :)

[@Equity_2024]

Your entry into the video stunned me.

[@user-ft2md2gd4s]

hey thanks for sharing this !

[@norbertkurth3830]

Rouge translation of the Hirschkleber product description: Modified starch. (most likely from potato, but corn or wheat are also possible) No bleed through, adhesion without needle fixing required. Quick drying, always useable, water thinnable. Durable, odorfree, not degenerating (Imo they have to use a preserving agent to achieve this). Thickened product can be generated by warming or thinning. Usable for leather, felt, paper and cardboard. Greetings from Germany

[@VickyDIncecco]

Thank you!

[@cup_o_sew4556]

Thanks for this❤️

[@sunnyjim6505]

I *believe* that Hirschkleber is (or was originally) elk hoof glue, hence the elk on the label. I think I heard that it's synthetic now, but that's the origin of if.

[@frankmarti8984]

Great information thank you

[@AR-sd]

I discovered i have an interest in repairing my own boots. This video helps. First and only cobbler i went to rejected resoling my timberland pro boots (no stitching lol). I'd rather take it up as a hobby just like guitar repair. Thanks for the video.

[@shekinahshy.9500]

Interesting! Subscribed!

[@MrJrryhy460]

Hi Vicky or anyone, Have you used the Tina channel knife? It is a Tina knife model# 285. It is suppose to make stair down channel on the edge of the outer soles.

Great informative video. Can you also please tell us how many pairs of shoes can be done by using 600g Hirschkleber (for interior only)

[@oscarmasaiti6039]

hie im so inspired by your videos, how much can all these tools cost

[@yushengwei2952]

Awesome video and information for making shoes. How make new shoes from you and your company? Thank you.

[@judighissas4416]

I really Wish to learn make shoes for myself

[@lisascenic]

What is the rotary leather cutting machine that you’ve used in other videos? For that matter, do you discuss any of your machines in your videos?

[@jewellee424]

What type of leather do you use I’ve been trying to find a good leather but I don’t know where to start

[@sarahk8053]

I'm German and there isn't anything about the ingredients on the back of the glue you showed.

[@VickyDIncecco]

Ah, good to know! Thanks!

[@jorgeirigoyen7491]

Hello, where can I buy these tools in the United States and online? Thank you.

[@pearltv9714]

Hi, like your video. Am growing an interest in shoe making, but don't know we're to start. Are there school's or college's you can suggest that teaches shoe making. Am a complete dummy to shoe making so a good beginner college

[@mealewis4698]

Where would you be able to purchase tools for shoe making,I want to help a disable persons work shop in Ghana,

[@misao7746]

I just want to make myselfmy own boots or have them made. But idk if the boots i want are too complicated..

[@ajet4731]

Hi Good morning What's the best gum for making shoes

[@rapgod4365]

Do you know were to get books on shoe making. Any book stores.

[@VickyDIncecco]

I genuinely recommend videos over books if you’re new to the craft. Check out Marcell Mrsan’s Vimeo channel. As for books, I can’t say I’ve found any single one that has explained everything in detail. Most of the time you need to have some knowledge of shoemaking to understand what they’re talking about...with that said, I like: “Handmade Shoes For Men” by Vass, “Pattern Cutting” by Frank Jones, “Designing, Cutting and Grading Boot and Shoe Patterns” by Charles B Hatfield (Boston, USA 1899). I don’t really have any in mind that explain every step, mostly specific topics like pattern making. Hope this helps!

[@callmezaro237]

What is the shoe supply store that is in LA

[@callmezaro237]

What is the Shoe supply store that is in LA called?please

[@TimothyEnloe]

I had the same question. I go to Saderma just south of Hollywood. Wondering if that’s the same place.

[@mahbuburrahmanazad3531]

Mam, I want to learn of shoe making. How I can get you?

[@valentinoshortcrop8203]

how do I buy ah case tools

[@AllisterCaine]

Oh hi Vicky! Damn I did not know you have a youtubechannel 😊

[@VickyDIncecco]

Hi! 😊

[@lialeeCO]

When you said you cut your soles with the knife at 1:50, I thought you said souls; I was like “oh, ok.” Anyways, cool video! It’s so interesting to know how people work with different professions.

[@VickyDIncecco]

Hahaha funny that I had the same thought while recording! 😂 decided to edit it out as to not be morbid! Thank you 💕

[@newageoutlaw82]

What shoe supply shop in la do you go too?

[@VickyDIncecco]

Saderma

[@missheartsgaming]

Where do you get your heels from?

[@VickyDIncecco]

The shorter heels are from Minke in Germany. The higher heels were designed by me and I sell them on my site! www.vickydincecco.com

[@shelterearth]

I need some training. Can you help me?

[@joychidinmaokezuonu]

Can I get good leather am in Nigeria

[@IeuanAlli]

where does one get the lasts?

[@VickyDIncecco]

My lasts are custom, I ordered them from a factory. But before that I used to find my lasts around the internet. Depends on what you're looking for, but you can try cordwainertools.com and sorrellnotionsandfindings.com - otherwise a good place to get custom lasts and I don't think they have minimums is Minke from Germany or Springline in the UK. Good luck!

[@IeuanAlli]

@@VickyDIncecco ouh, the thing is i don't have enough to get a last that's above £60 which all of them are, like just to have a sneaker design or normal Oxford last that's second hand will be beneficial

[@VickyDIncecco]

Sometimes there’s lasts on eBay or Etsy, but it’s hard to find the exact shape and size you need. But perhaps you’ll get lucky!

[@Thumpiez]

that's fucken pimp.. were is the shoe shop supply in los angles for shoes making???

[@BearMeat4Dinner]
