The Essential Tools

The basic things needed are l-r

•Raw hide mallet
•Regular hammer
•Medium leather rivets 
•1"metal rings (each shoe needs 2 total 4)

•Pens depends on color of materials

Barge glue this for leather and rubber dries clear, is waterproof and maintains flexibility.
An industrial walking foot machine is really necessary for attaching any type of hard sole.
