FAQs
What size do these soles correspond to?
These are standardized to a size 8.
Can I use these soles for outdoor wear?
Yes, the non-slip rubber base is suitable for outdoor use, though they are best kept dry.
Do I need a sewing machine to attach the uppers?
It is generally recommended to hand-sew the uppers to the soles using a heavy-duty needle, as sewing machines may struggle with the thickness of the jute.
What kind of thread should I use?
Use a strong, waxed upholstery thread for the best results and durability.
Are these machine washable?
No, washing the soles in a machine will damage the jute construction. Clean only with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Needle is difficult to push through the jute edge
Use a thimble to protect your fingers and consider using an awl or a leather-piercing tool to pre-punch holes along the sewing line.
Thread keeps snapping during assembly
Use a heavy-duty polyester or waxed thread, which is specifically designed to withstand the tension of attaching fabric to coarse materials like jute.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a sturdy needle (such as a leather or upholstery needle) and strong, durable thread. The soles are pre-formed in size 8, so measure your foot length before beginning the upper pattern to ensure a proper fit. For care, avoid submerging these soles in water, as jute can deteriorate when soaked. If the soles become dusty, use a dry, soft brush to remove debris from the woven jute edges. If the rubber base becomes soiled, wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
