Pt. 02: Shoe Overview - The Chalitzah Shoe Constructed

[Music] this is a mineral known otherwise in english as the khalifa shu it's not a hundred percent issue it's really a cross between the ancient mineral and the ancient sandal hazal preferred that sandal but the shame say we don't know what a sandal looks like so you're full we have to use a middle but you know that gives certain descriptions of a sandal so we try to incorporate those things into the middle that we use for kalitsa i'll give an example the top of the shoe obviously has to be soft because he has to be able to go around the leg for that to be able to fit into it you have to walk with it but the bottom is designed to be stiff so the chalice issue has a stiff bottom another aspect of the khalifa shoe which is based on the sandal is the exterior stitching the sandal of hazal the stitching wherever stitching was there was on the outside of it and therefore in the middle the stitching also is on the exterior the shoe has these buttons called krasim or or hamarta in moral language these are buttons made of leather and these hold the shoe onto the person's foot in addition to that we have the straps one reason is to make it more like a sandal and the other reason tumar says is because iwan should be she should pull off it should be very clear she's pulling off the shoe so if the shoe is small and easy to get off and she just touches it and it comes right off like some people's slip-ons the loafers those things that they just slide right off you can it and you can put basically pull your foot out of it so that won't be a helita yasa so we we secure the shoe to the foot very well we have a snug fit there are buttons holding it on and straps other features of this shoe are the cutouts in the back so that when we put the straps onto the tie the straps on they should come in direct contact with the leg they were different hugging how it was done some of the shoes that i've seen had very small cutouts here in the back and additional cutouts on the side so this way it came in contact with the back of his leg and the side of his leg this style shoe has a wide cutout so that it contacts the back of his leg and the sides at the same time other features of the shoe are that the upper part of the shoe is low as a low cutout this area here is not supposed to go higher than the ankle there are too many hugging but what type of lace to use to stitch around the edge the most popular menu is to use white but there are some shoes made with black and the difference between white and black is that in the time of ghazal they used white lacing so do you want our shoe to match gazelle's time or do you want to give it a contemporary real shoe effect by using a more contemporary kind of lace which would be black the same would hold true of these straps that were used to to wrap around the shin and shank of the highlights are these supposed to be white or black and it's the same question and the same reasons the mice i've seen shoes made with black or white lacing over here but the straps i've never seen any shoe made except for white everything from the shaft the upper the counter the sole every part of the shoe is made of leather and mache is in the modern look is in the plastic whether any of these things can made from piston or asar here but is that's the minute that we use exclusively leather from a kosher animal one thing is that you have to use vegetarian leather what's vegetarian leather the tanning agents come from plants and there's no oil used in the process there is a process of leather making called oil tanned but the price can say not to use oil tan leather for khalees issues leather has two sides to it the smooth side which was the hair side one was on the animal and the rougher side which was the side which was on the inner side of the animal which is called the flesh side of the of the leather so you have to use the smooth side on the outside of the shoe and the rougher side is on the inner side of the shoe this is the minig and it makes the job of the shamas who puts on the shoe a tiny bit harder because the rule of leather is that it fixed itself so you want to put the person's foot into the leather shoe so leather with skin it's going to stick to itself it's rough and it's going to be hard to get the foot in unless the shoe is too big but the shoe is too big they have other problems so use a shoe horn whatever you whatever you can't take the shoe on but it does make it a little bit more difficult for the shamans to get the shoe on but that is the minute [Music] you
