Shanks and shank covers

Posted on September 9, 2025 by customboots

Yesterday I posted a photo with the leather filler in the bottom of the boots. Today, in order, you can see the stitched-in shank, the shank cover (pegged but unsanded), and the final shaped shank cover.

Also costarring my little shoes in every photo.
