Made a pair. All leather. Need to work on the back as they're too loose, but I winged it without a pattern, so not too upset.

Single leather heel block + regular rubber heel for added ~~durability~~ noise - should have gone leather only. Black-painted JR (Rendenbach) sole, rough-side out for traction. Dark brown (almost black) leather jacket cut up to make the upper, and leather insoles.

Nice work, sewing the leather by hand or machine?

You might be able to add some shape/rigidity to to stop deformation from your toes in v2 by using a second layer in the beneath the 'toe box' (with a skived edge to stop a ridge forming) if lining them.
