Hi. A newcomer here. My current project is foot-tailored cork sandals (because my feet are too wide for the ones from shops).
That looks like a really intersting project. Is the cork an inner sole, or is the sole entirely of cork?
It's a sandwich of moulded cork between two thin sheets of cork. For the soles I'm using linoleum as a first try.
