I am going to try and make myself some crocodile Burkenstock sandles. Where can I purchase the needed footbed, rubber sole and anything else needed for the making of these?
Okay awesome, thanks! I assume we should buy a pair of birkenstocks with the genuine leather upper in that case. Would it be possible to cover the uppers with python (around 0.7 mm thick)?
Thanks for the links!
Will,
Depending on where you are in the world, these links will work in the States.
Recently, made a custom pair and still have fresh knowledge re supplies and what not.
Birkenstock is not shipping footbeds for the remainder of 2021. So, they are getting harder to come by.
Happy to field any questions. Apologies in advance for any delay in responding.
Cheers!
