Twenty Minute Sandals

Will, whose feet are shown here, said he made these sandals in twenty minutes or so. His cordwaining speed may be above average as his brother Daniel teaches shoe-making workshops around town, but these are scandalously barefoot and I want to make a pair. They're modeled after the sandals made by the Tarahumara (or Raramuri) people of Mexico. Here's a video of an earnest man named Barefoot Ted explaining how to wrap them. Will's were made with cow leather soles and synthetic (?) rope. The rust-colored rocks are part of a sculpture in an art gallery.
