1930s FILM SHOEMAKER MAKES SHOES BY HAND GERMAN EDUCATIONAL MOVIE 75222

Support Our Channel : / periscopefilm
Made in the 1930s, this silent German educational film shows how shoes are made from scratch by a shoemaker. Shoemaking is the process of making footwear. Originally, shoes were made one at a time by hand. Traditional handicraft shoemaking has now been largely superseded in volume of shoes produced by industrial mass production of footwear, but not necessarily in quality, attention to detail, or craftsmanship.
Shoemakers or cordwainers (cobblers being those who repair shoes) may produce a range of footwear items, including shoes, boots, sandals, clogs and moccasins. Such items are generally made of leather, wood, rubber, plastic, jute or other plant material, and often consist of multiple parts for better durability of the sole, stitched to a leather upper.
For most of history, shoemaking has been a handicraft, limited to time consuming manufacture by hand. Traditional shoemakers used more than 15 different techniques of making shoes. Some of these were: pegged construction, English welted (machine-made versions are referred to as "Goodyear welted" after the inventor of the technique), goyser welted, Norwegian, stitchdown, turnout, German sewn, moccasin, bolognese stitched, and blake-stitched.
The most basic foot protection, used since ancient times in the Mediterranean area, was the sandal, which consisted of a protective sole, attached to the foot with leather thongs. Similar footwear worn in the Far East was made from plaited grass or palm fronds. In climates that required a full foot covering, a single piece of untanned hide was laced with a thong, providing full protection for the footand so made a complete covering.

The sewing machine was introduced in 1846, and provided an alternative method for the mechanization of shoemaking. By the late 1850s, the industry was beginning to shift towards the modern factory, mainly in the US and areas of England. A shoe stitching machine was invented by the American Lyman Blake in 1856 and perfected by 1864. Entering in to partnership with McKay, his device became known as the McKay stitching machine and was quickly adopted by manufacturers throughout New England. As bottlenecks opened up in the production line due to these innovations, more and more of the manufacturing stages, such as pegging and finishing, became automated. By the 1890s, the process of mechanisation was largely complete.
Traditional shoemakers still exist today, especially in poorer parts of the world, and create custom shoes. Current crafters, in developing regions or supply constrained areas may use surplus car or truck tire tread sections as an inexpensive and plentiful material resource with which to make strong soles for shoes or sandals. Generally, the modern machinery used includes die cutting tools to cut the shapes and grommet machines[4] to punch holes for lacing.

Это не видео, это БОМБА!!! Вот, был Настоящий МАСТЕР!!! Смотрел как заворожённый и вспоминал свою молодость на Зап.Украине, своих старых Учителей-МАСТЕРОВ!!! ...одно шпилькование чего стоит) не говоря обо всём остальном. Нынче это умеют единицы. И это в те-то далёкие времена когда ещё не было даже нормальных затяжных гвоздей, как и всего остального.... Дай Им Бог на том свете всего хорошего! Поклон Вам Всем подобным, до-земли и СПАСИБО, что научили и меня, этому Мастерству!

[@bespecher]

Почему? В Германии, Австрии, Швейцарии до сих полно семейных обувных мастерских. Делают традиционную военную и туристическую обувь с норвежским и гудеар рантами. Год назад купил австрийские ботинки steinkogler - сплошное удовольствие от носки. Теперь только рантовая обувь. Не знаю, куда девать кроссовки - просто лапти...

Thank you for uploading this. I came here because of the old song "Peg and Awl." by the Carolina Tar Heels.

This is the best video I have seen that shows a close up of the welt installation. Very good.

[@gabychoxeneize3904]

es increible y aun hoy se diguen haciendo de la misma forma.que gran oficio.

[@MrTongallen]

Personally feel that this is still THE proper way of making a pair of shoes. Good year welt construction existed since the 1400s where pig bristles were used as thread, like everything in clothing I have came to realise that past methods always triumphs the more current mass produced methods.

[@chapiit08]

Boar wristles were not used as thread but as a sort of needle to permit threading the actual stitching cord through the holes. The boar bristles were rubbed with resin and the waxed flax or linen thread was attached to it and pulled through the holes to complete the stitches.

Allen tong. How come Mr goodyear patented this method of machine footwear production only in XIX century?

[@matrox]

I find this extremely edjumacational.

EXCELENTE

Me pudieras dar informacion donde comprar hormas, gracias

[@sheriffshifty1953]

Do you think they can make a pair of shoes smaller or somehow remake them smaller with the right about of leather please let me know I need to find a place please let me know to make it easier I bought an 11.5 and I am 10.5 they sold me the wrong size and it was too late for me to return them because I live away from where I bought them

[@venca955]

@@KC-ld6el I am by no means an expert on the matter, but I am pretty sure that proper welted/ blake stitched shoes can in fact be relasted i.e. made in to your correct size. You just need a cobbler who would be able to do that. Best way is to just ask. I would suggest to start looking for one who also makes shoes themselves or who repairs welted shoes.

it needs music and commentary upgrade
