I'm a third generation shoe retailer and repairer. This is the first time I've seen a stitch-down welt with the extra layer of a "fake welt" reinforcement above the out-turned leather uppers. Danner uses a lot of stitch-down construction, for instance, but they just use the outward turned leather vamp leather as the welt. I'm also stunned they completely sew the outsole to the welt by hand. I can't imagine a more hand-crafted boot than these guys make.

Hello, thanks for your comment, very enlighting on the matter. I wanted to ask you something, related to the use of membranes (Gore, event, etc) in leather shoes. I'm mountain guide since 2010 and I've been using boots since i was 4, through all the boyscout era and so on, and I always experienced the same problem with membrane+leather boots: it always ends up leaking hard, and after this happens it never dries during a route. Specially in snow environment it's awful. I've been 15 days in Norway with the best and most expensive Perwanger reinforced boots i found in the market (not gonna say the brand for respect), and from the third day I was wet. And its not bad luck. Thst was the turning point. Then, I started to use non leather boots, basically Kevlar, Schoeller and similar outer shells, and that was a revelation for me. Never again wet feet. Its true they need more reinforcement in the sides but yet they're super light and flexible, still last a lot, and they don't leak at all. So i stopped using leather+membrane shoes. Then I gave a try to a only leather boot pair, but greased them up as I heard that was the old times solution, and it worked. As my feet don't sweat too much, and i use the best wool and silk socks i can find, and actually they work great too, yet i use them for heavy duty, not for trekking. Therefore, I arrived to the conclusion that putting a membrane to a leather shoe is a marketing mistake. It's no sense, as a membrane cannot breath trough a soaked piece of leather glued to it, and it just becomes a water bridge. However, synthetic materials don't soak as leather, and they just let the membrane breathe while protecting it from harms (as intended). Can you relate to this? Thank you a lot and sorry for long comment.

[@AudioFileZ]

In my over 4 decades of selling (and repairing) boots I've seen the membrane type boots proliferate. They most definitely do not breathe as well as straight leather I'd say. If you can find waterproof sealed seam (they have a line on the backside wherever sewn of something called silastic adhesive to seal stitch holes) constructed boots like the Wolverine WO3226 they breathe much better. After Gore-Tex came off patent the whole internal waterproof bootie thing ran amok. Some generic booties don't even actually work and all can trap moisture between the leather and the membrane. Corura and Kevlar woven upper boots actually breathe better than internal bootie boots. The reason they repel water is that they have a felt based hydrophobic backing and used the sealed seam construction where the textile uppers are sewn. The negative side is now days if you can find these they often also use a membrane bootie liner as well. They don't really have to have it save for it's a marketing thing. The best one I sold is long since discontinued by Rocky Boot Company.@@bassegoder

[@toobalkain]

what do you mean stitch out construction without a stitcher, isn't this the usual Goodyear welt?

[@FreshlySnipes]

Do you make custom hiking boots? I have been looking for a pair but can’t seem to find any in the States.

[@xavgrassie-clarke8023]

@@toobalkain forgive any inaccuracies as i am not a shoemaker. See the videos by Siroeno Yosui, he does incredible goodyear shoes with a blind stitch. The goodyear has a seperate leather welt stitched to the midsole and through the upper. The outsole is then stitched to the welt. The stitch-down construction here has the welt ibeing the splayed out upper. I don't know whether either is particularly stronger per se. Goodyears like that done by Yosui seem much more time consuming than the boots made here. EIther way its awesome stuff.

I don't do enough hiking to justify getting custom-fit boots; but having done multi-day hikes, I know the value of having high quality footwear that fits. It's good to know there are still artisans out there making footwear of this quality. The people who buy these boots must have some amazing adventures! :)

[@pwnmeisterage]

I don't wear hiking boots. But I appreciate well-made good-fitting work boots. I've got to wear them almost every day, 40-50 hour weeks. While standing on hard concrete, sometimes in heavy rain puddles, often pushing and pulling and lifting and carrying objects which weigh almost as much as I do. A lot of load on my feet. Cheap boots and bad boots will usually still last months. But paying extra for quality boots really adds a lot to your comfort, attitude, and energy during and after days of work. People in construction, manufacturing, or industry who have junk boots are new and inexperienced, or just can't afford better, or simply don't do any real work.

@@angelinimartini I've heard your complaint from several women I've worked with. Apparently women's work boots suck, or just have limited options which aren't the best for everybody. They look cute and feminine but they don't look comfortable. (I don't know firsthand since I don't wear women's boots, lol.) I guess it's a market opportunity for boot makers? If "one size fits most" doesn't fit you then you might have to have custom-fit boots made for you. I think it's worth paying the $$-$$$ extra for comfort and happiness. Good fit, no sore feet at the end of the day, no limpy pain, no blisters, no chafing. Other people think it's not worth spending more, I guess saving/spending the money for other things makes them happy.

And this is the reason you pay for what you get. It was amazing watching these people working with their hands to make something in a time honor tradition and that is not just stamped out from a machine. It takes real craft to make products like this around the world and props to those people that are still out there carrying on the traditions. If I saw this in person it was visiting Korea I would probably immediately buy them right then and there As I often do when I watch handmade artisans make work right in front of me I usually buy something right away.

The level of craftsmanship in this video is astounding. It makes me want to go to Seoul and buy a pair of boots. Except that I probably couldn't afford them, since items of that quality tend to be pretty expensive.

[@slavkoslavko2501]

Questing is only for what kind level of degree of temperature. Probably not for so low minus. Sole is not quite enough thick and it shoes have no fur at all.

[@atenrok]

I'd have to find out what exactly the is the price for a pair of boots, but from living in Seoul, I know that to make a custom fitted dress shirt costs not much more expensive than a price for a good shirt from a store shelf. The salesman are literally try to snatch you on a street and drag you into their store, when you walk by... And a shirt would be typically ready by morning. The cost of skilled physical labor is still surprisingly low in South Korea...

Shit, high quality mountaineering boots like that are around 400 bucks even when they're not custom made.

My grandfather was a shoemaker, and he had his own company. It was quite successful in Portugal up until 2011. My childhood and the start of my teenage years were spent there for the most part. So this brings a lot of nostalgia to me, and I still remember the whole process of the shoe making. Funny story: My mom also worked there as a shoe designer and helped clean the shoes, packaging, and some administrative work as well. She would sometimes try to get my kindergarten teachers' and school employees' favor with custom shoes, and they'd go for it. (No, I wasn't a troublesome kid. I was a pretty quiet and introverted girl, and that bothered the other kids) 🤣

Очень круто! То как нитки остались белыми после шлифовки и покраски среза отдельное волшебство

[@James-wd9ib]

Here are my guesses, but just guesses: 1:30 floral foam or something similar 1:50 basically Plaster of Paris 3:33 Shredded cork in silicone. Notice it does not reach the toes. 4:50 fine-tuning the size of the last by gluing cork and rasping it 6:45 sounds like a dense polystyrene board (squeaks when cut)... 7:25 ...therefore this has to be PVA adhesive. 7:58 this is called "stropping" a blade, on leather. 8:40 some kind of rugby glue 8:50 sounds like cutting urethane foam rubber 9:02 wool felt? but sounds synthetic and stiff. 9:46 probably leather, maybe synthetic 11:12 interface fabric for stiffness 14:27 idk what this white thing is 15:25 sheepskin? 15:35 foam 18:22 looks like rawhide 19:45 more of that interface fabric 19:57 idk, some sort of vulcanizing prep fluid? 20:15 vulcanizing urethane strips 20:50 more of that feltlike material... 20:55 to support a steel strip 21:09 probably rubber foam again 21:45 strip of leather for the seam later 22:10 an awl. There are two cords, top and bottom. 23:20 You have to set the heel with pressure 23:42 my god even the out sole stitch is by hand ... there are so many steps, I give up

whats the point of customizing the foots shape for the insert if they grind the shape out and cut away the parts that were actually shaped for his foot....

[@_..-.._..-.._]

The foot mold was only to make the cushion/insole edit: yeah I see what you mean 8:25 kinda pointless

[@commentaccount7880]

I don't think he did, the sides are fine to cut off because they're going to be the same shape as the shoe sides, round, and you can see when he sands the other parts down the arch is left, I think that's the entire point of the mold, the little foot arch.

@@cos-t5b Actually, it's not that expensive as we might think, taking in account the amount of work and the priceless effort of shoemakers to make a completely personalized handmade pair of shoes. If we even compare these shoes to some "top-branded-fashion" shoes for some 1000-1500$, I would certainly choose the shoes shown in the video above.
