In this groundbreaking book, Marcell Mrsán explores the art and craft of upper construction, starting from the pattern creation. There hasn't been such a detailed and practical textbook in the English language in recent memory.

Building on both his experience as a bespoke maker, pattern consultant and educator, certified master shoemaker Marcell Mrsán demystifies the geometry of pattern construction, showing the readers not only the hows but also the whys, while sharing tips and tricks that were traditionally guarded secrets of industry insiders. This richly illustrated and photographed book offers a strong foundation for beginners and valuable insights for experienced makers alike.
