These shoes I tried a slightly different technique with a back strap and a pigsuede toe puff and counter. Both the lambskin I used and the pigskin lining are quite thin so the thermoplastic stuff would have shown through something terrible. The toepuff blended the best on the shoe where I didn't completely glue the lining to the upper but I like the way the inside of the one I did completely glue feels. I've been making each one slightly different so I can compare the techniques but I think I'll start to trying to get things consistant.
The result is a very soft slipper feel much like the first green ones I made I still need to glue on the rubber gripper for the front of the sole since the soles are very slippery because I burnish them to a high shine.
