The thickness required to make a shoe is a very important element and is itself a first indicator of the type of product we want to make. The classic leather for shoes has thicknesses between 1,1mm and 1,3mm [a bit above 3 oz] for women and 1,3mm 1,4mm [again, a bit above 3 oz] for men. While the lining, when used, has thicknesses ranging from 0,6mm to 0,8mm [roughly 2 oz]. On the contrary, a boot will have higher thicknesses that can reach even 2,2-2,5mm [6-z oz] depending on the models.
