DIY Slip On Sandals from Old Shoes

Step 3: Cutting off the Toe

The toe is almost the same procedure as the heel, except that most shoes have the tongue sewn to the part that holds the laces, which we want to keep.  Cut this small part first on both sides, and then cut straight down from there.  Cut around the front of the toe where the canvas meets the rubber.  Don't rush even though the toe has tougher material.  You don't want to cut yourself and mess up the shoe.  Take it slow.
