Koba Wax: A long‑time favorite for shoe making and repair, especially for sole and leather edges. It’s a hard wax stick that melts easily with heat, filling tiny gaps and building a smooth, glossy finish that also helps seal and protect the edge.

Shoemaking using the Blake stitch method.

The Blake method involves a single row of stitching that runs directly through the insole, upper, and outsole. This creates a more lightweight and flexible shoe for those preferring sleek aesthetics and more immediate comfort.
