I really like the idea you show here for the thong style shoe. How would you attach it to a shoe like that?

1) Could you please tell me how you determine the shape/size of the shoe-face? Is there a template I could follow, even just to get the shape right?

I am interested in an open toe, but not sure how you make the shoe-face template. How would the different styles you mention be laid out (

2) If you could give tips on how to adjust for size that would be even better!

3) Does your shoemaker have any instructions/advice for how to make kasut manek? I live in the U.S., and don’t think anybody here has any idea how…

Thank you so much!

Hi, thank you so much for your kasut manek tutorials! I was just looking for one to buy, but you’ve inspired me to try and make a pair myself.

I’m an absolute novice, though, so I’m afraid I need a bit more of your help:

1) Could you please tell me how you determine the shape/size of the shoe-face? Is there a template I could follow, even just to get the shape right? I’m not sure how the different styles you mention should be laid out (esp. diagonal straps, crossed straps).

2) If you could give tips on how to adjust for size that would be even better!

3) Does your shoemaker have any instructions/advice for how to make kasut manek? I live abroad, and don’t think anybody here has any idea how…

Thank you so much!

Hi Sabrina,
I am working together with a beaded shoes-maker here in Penang. He is a very experience kasut manek maker. I can help you in getting your kasut manek assembled after you have completed your shoes face if you can not come here personally.
