Barefoot shoes

I traced my foot and drew a shape with elegant curves around it.

I added half a centimeter around and I drew points where the holes should be so that the shoe would make sense together with my specific foot outline.
I bought a sole material and cut out the piece with a scalpel, marking the holes.

The hole in the middle would be bigger, as the would be two cords instead of one. Smoothing the edges with a sandpaper. I hate how people wear soles just cut out of rubber. It should look a professional, even if it is DYI, shouldn't it?

These are loops-to-be for the room between the toes.
Tying the cords just how it came to my mind. Still there is a space for improvement. They are each like 3 m long.

Summer vibes :-)
