    I've made slippers and sandals but this is beyond my skills.

    Backwoods Savage How comfortable would these be to wear? I guess it would depend on how soft the leather was that was used.

    Vegetable tanned leather will always be a bit stiff, at least at first but over all should be okay. It will help if they suede the interior, which is easily done.
