Jute Twine Shoes

I've managed to get my hands on shoe lasts for size 6-10 women's shoes and I've been meaning to experiment with shoe making for a while now but it's a tricky one to get your head around when you have no experience with it.
I find crochet easiest for working out shapes and how things work so I crocheted a pair of shoes out of jute twine as a fun experiment. There is an extra layer for the sole and I coated the sole in latex to make it waterproof. I probably should have added a few more layers of latex because as I discovered when it started raining, the water soon seeps through but overall I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
