Delighted with the quality. I got to know Joes Toes whilst doing a workshop on the Queen Mary 2.
These birds are reminding me of Paul McCartney's song!
Great color combination.
I recently purchased the pastel bowl kit, and the colors and beads are even better looking, in person.
Thank you for fast shipping!
I tried a number of products from Joe's Toes, including the suede slipper sole. My last slippers were knitted ankle boots using a double felt sole and the waxed thread.
There are lots of cheap hacks you can deploy to create your knitted slippers but I keep coming back to Joe's Toes products for a number of reasons:
- quality: at home we make a mistake of nipping out onto the patio in our slippers which unfortunately speeds up the process of destroying the sole. Having said that, making the same mistake in a simply knitted sole would see our slippers disintegrate much, much quicker. It took me over a year to wear out the felt soles on my current slippers, and it is only the outer sole that I've worn out.
- design - I love the colours :)
- convenience - prefabricated holes make sewing soles onto the slippers hassle free and you end up with an even edge. I would recommend Amanda's YouTube video on her method of attaching the soles. I've now adopted that method.
A word on sizing: make sure you check the actual length of your intended wearer's foot against the size. Don't go by standard sizing labels or you might end up with a size which is too big.
The combination which has worked the best so far on my projects has been a felt sole + a suede sole. At some point I will try the vibram sole.
