Intro Post Yay

Hey! This is my first post here; sorry for it being a question.
 

Anyway, I'm planning to start making all of my own clothing, mostly 50s style dresses. The point is, I want to make shoes to match each dress specifically. I've seen heeled sandals before that are like wood on the bottoms and look like they just have really really starched fabric over the toes etc.

So, the question is, how do you make sandals like that?
