Buongiorno!
Looks awesome Clare! Perhaps these could be lounging around the house shoes so they last longer - I think you could get a little bit of sealant for the bottom and it might increase the time they last.

Ciao dear @cmplxty - it's good to hear from you!! Yey; they will be used more for the house - but that is a nice idea about the sealant, yes: I'll think on that some, and see how that might fit into the final shape of them. Something waxy, perhaps.... I will likely end up being very precious with them, and not want to wear them outside - though there is a kind of local custom of popping to the wee general store with one's slippers on, so I'll probably do that. 😄
I’ve got a pair of leather slippers and they are my favorite! Granted they have a little more of a layer on them then yours does it looks like but once you wear them around the house a decent bit the leather gets a bit of a coating to it you could say, and makes it pretty good and durable. Just gotta be careful with them for a few weeks until that happens. I take a walk out to the car if it’s dry out with them in which isn’t the best because we keep a clean house but it’s ok once in a while!
Yey, @cmplxty !! The walk up Via Roma to the shop is pretty easy going, even for inside shoes, and no I'll keep them away from rain and water and dog poo, for sure 😆 Thanks for reminding me to be careful for the first while with them: wear them in and habituate them to the house, at least! Anyhoo, the prototype is bound to be lesser than the next set I make... Looking forward to the mastery! Happy day to you, friend 🤗
