I have been doing shoe repair for almost 20 years now. Always been interest in learning to make shoes. Any video or book recommended to start with? Anyone on here in...
Lots of instructions on the blog "Bespoke Shoes Unlaced", http://carreducker.blogspot.co.nz/, then look at the posts by topic - listed on the right, under the archive. Also lots of tutorial on Marcell's blog, http://shoesandcraft.com/2013/03/16/tutorials-collected/

Rob, I'm going to endorse a book on making from your particular starting point, as it was mine. A book like no others, DW Frommer's Cowboy Boots-An American Tradition.( http://www.bootmaker.com/index.html ) Fundamentals that cross footwear styles. Speak with him.

from one shoe repairman to another Bespoke Shoemaking by Tim Skyrme is a good book

Perry Ercolino in Doylestown, PA is one of the finest shoemakers, and very helpful.
