"And yes, I have read this tip on other sources about shoemaking."

I wasn't going to say a single thing, not one word! I swear it!
Someone has told you about the different step or stride employed when walking in early medieval shoes, right?
In case someone wants to know: It's sort of horse-like, or bagpipe band slow march-like (only without the appearance of a hesitation), with the ball sliding onto the ground just a fraction of a second before the heel touches. Whichever foot is "back" or behind at that point rises naturally, just as it would in modern heel-toe walking.
I find when I do that early medieval walking step that I still transfer the weight across the ball from the lateral to the medial side of the foot.

I think it's one of those things everyone really has to learn for themselves, like:
* Measure twice, cut once
* Sugar Syrup burns are painful
* Opuntia cacti are to be handled with extreme caution.

LOL, I never thought that much about pipe band marching, but now that you mention it and I pull up a mental video... yes. :)
