- The challenges come from perfection the right mold of the shoe and design as well as the pattern and exact placement of the seams. Many prototypes are made to finalize the right cut, size and stitch line end of each pattern to end with the best design aesthetic to the foot.

Also perfecting the placement of the calligxraphitti is challenging since certain leathers should be more visible than others for aesthetics and significance reasons.
