  Attempting comfortable soft shoes to stand in 10 hrs Soft leather from the leather bin at  www.Gstreetfabrics.com  vinyl with cork side for bottom of inside shoes and espridrilles bottom from Etsy with Grocery or Pharmacy that sells Dr Scholls inserts for the inside. Bottoms Cork will face down, this a soft vinyl-caramel colored with cork back Foam insert cut to size Dr Scholls Arch Support soft insert cushioning Bought two soft skins- to make matching clutch and or bag of same.  Thinking style will be a full shoe cover with cross over straps that are sewn in with elastic back to slide shoe on.

Added a change purse to the inside by folding the pleather lining piece into a narrow strip and sewing an end into the change
