Making handmade hiking shoes - Making leather shoes

[@sharp_ghisa6044]

How to learn this art?

[@andiswerkstatt-ow4uw]

Thank you for your answer! First I watched about 50 youtube videos and just started making shoes. The first few pairs were not usable. Almost every video had something I could learn. In addition, in the early days an orthopaedist showed me the worst mistakes in making shoes. Working as a carpenter helps with precision. And the most important thing is enthusiasm, patience and perseverance.

[@sharp_ghisa6044]

Thanks for your precious reply! I think that could be a great thing for community to make a playlist about your learning path, trials and errors, design, measurements, common mistakes, etc... You could earn some money too, you deserve it.

[@cristianmiranda8637]

My jaw dropped, how much respect I have for this profession. Truly a master. This video is for those who ask: why do handmade shoes cost so much? Here is the answer. I really enjoyed watching this video.

[@TheGecko26]

Handmade shoes cost so much for two reasons. First, they are unique pieces. Each pair of boots are like no other, generally they're made by the hands of a skilled craftsman. Second, it takes time for the craftsman to learn and develop that skill. As for most professions, it takes about 10 years to truly become a master.

[@masterkamen371]

​​@@TheGecko26unfortunately here in Croatia they're anything but skilled masters. Most of them inherited the workshop from their fathers and grandfathers and are trying to use the "heritage" as marketing. They typically charge 2-300€ for shoes made out of questionable leather and a glued on sole instead of Goodyear welt. You can get such shoes for 40€ in Deichmann, they'll last and wear the same. There's exactly one shoemaker left that knows what he's doing. Sad, as Zagreb used to be the town of a thousand craftsmen.

[@Rundik]

I have even more respect for those who managed to organize mass production of this kinds of shoes. The complexity must be on another level

[@Магомед-г1е7ч]

Уважения вам идеальная работа мастеров мне бы так

[@AlessioAndres]

almost all shoes are handmade, it's just that most shoemakers are working for two dollars because you have rights. ☺️

[@dumitrucatalin1192]

As a retired hand crafting shoe maker i apreciate your skills , great work , very good technique ,

[@andiswerkstatt-ow4uw]

Thank you!

[@ACFIMCEO]

I'm an Orthotic & Prosthetic Practitioner and I bet u could use the same software we use to 3D scan patient's feet/ankles with our phone rather than cast them. Saved us tons no longer having to pay for casting supplies. Saves me a lot of time, too!

[@АнастасияЛекомцева-е3х]

Как называется ваша программа?

[@philsmith1087]

I think you're missing the point, the video is demonstration and sharing of skill and knowledge.

[@abhijeetsinghphogat]

What software is it?

[@idhatemet00]

@@philsmith1087 I don't think he is missing the point, the man in the video is a leather worker first, not a sculptor. I'm sure you can see the casting process is quite labor intensive. If he could utilize the 3d scanning process and 3d print the last, it would save him a lot of time and money. That would then give him more time to focus on the final product and could increase his margins, possibly allowing him to pass those savings onto the consumer and resulting in more business. A win-win. The reason we've seen a decline in professions such as these, is that for most one man shop shoemakers, fully handmade shoes just don't financial sense. If he and others could find a happy balance between new tech and tradition, a one man shoemaker shop could actually seem more feasible.

[@MrKrueger88]

​@@idhatemet00one still needs to buy the 3d printer and the scanning machine and software . Or get them printed , or carved in foam .

[@longhaulblue]

Awesome. When I first came to this country decades ago, my dad took me to a cobbler to have a pair of leather boots made. Back then, we had tailors, cobblers, people who made travel bags. They are all gone now replaced by department stores like everywhere else. The boots needed almost no break-in as they were custom made to the shape of my feet. Sadly I no longer have the boots but I remember the cobbler telling me to bring them back if I ever had any problems with them. I was too young to appreciate his skills then. But with the years and watching you create those molds, and making the boots from them, I am just in awe. Bravo!

[@markbrown9765]

This is unbelievable. I've watched you make a water tight wooden bucket with no glue or metal fixturing, a composite bow from animal sinew, wood, and a water buffalo horn, and now a hand made pair of boots? Crazy skills. I watched this one last and the whole time was telling myself, "If he casts the treaded part of the boot himself I'm going to lose my mind." You saved my mind, but it wouldn't have surprised me if you had cast it. You have an amazing array of high craftsmanship skills like nothing I've ever seen.

[@mufcdiver]

I did my time in a shoe factory in the 80's, I could smell every process in this video! Nice one.

[@charlythompson9281]

I always got that shoemaking was highly skilled but to actually watch the entire process was awe inspiring. The tools of the trade alone are mind boggling.

[@OgeiDennepeL]

I just got into shoemaking. Trust me,this guy showed just an infinitesimal fraction of all the tools that exist for making shoes and boots. There’s literally hundreds of specialized tools for each step,all in different shapes,sizes etc… And the learning curve for each one… very steep

[@mastheadmike]

How on earth is this a hobby?! Wow. Incredible. Thank you for such a detailed video.

[@marekk6987]

Taką piękną rzemieślniczą robotę szewską widziałem ostatni raz w 1968 roku w Szczecinie,ulica Strzałowska(Polska) Byłem wtedy małym chłopcem,ale pamiętam zręczność starego przedwojennego szewca.Tego małego warsztatu szewskiego już nie ma, chociaż pomieszczenie zostało,tak jak i dziewiętnastowieczna kamienica.Pamiętam tylko jak skórzane spody wzmacniał albo łączył warstwy cienkimi drewnianymi ćwiekami moczonymi w jakiejś ciemnej smolistej substancji. Piękne wspomnienia🤔 Pozdrawiam

This video defines the phrase well: "Do your best in the condition you have, while you don't have better conditions to do even better." Wonderful and excellent, thank you very much for sharing with us.

[@Юра-б9в]

Великолепная работа! О таких мастерах и говорят, "золотые руки". Интересно какое изделие станет темой следующего видео. Нет сомнений, это будет также круто 👍

[@leethomaskc3327]

Literally modded a set of last specific to the wearer, then design and built the shoe based on this. A lot of work and time spent on it. Work of a master.

[@MadMaxWiseEx]

Смотрел ролик не отрываясь. Работа мастера захватывает. Я родом из Якутии, и мой отец - заядлый охотник, сам шил себе обувь для охоты зимой, конечно не такую красивую и сложную в изготовлении как у вас, но очень легкую и теплую, чтобы не испытывать дискомфорта в -50°С. Некоторым навыкам научил и меня, так что всё это очень знакомо мне и немного грустно, так как отца недавно не стало.

[@aaronthompson192]

You should do a video of those boots. Pass the knowledge on! And I am sorry for your loss. I hope your family is well.

[@MadMaxWiseEx]

Очень крутая сборка обуви !!! Особенно мне понравилось крепление и сборка подошвы к верху обуви!!! Не люблю когда в обувь забивают много гвоздей и прошивают насквозь с протектором!

[@kzenias]

To make this boot, you not only have to be a master of leather and fabrics but also of clay and putty. Very impressive!

[@mglmouser]

Quand je vois ce genre de vidéo, ça me fascine énormément et me rend compte à quel point les gens peuvent être si talentueux. C'est dommage que c'est rare ce genre d'occupation. Je travaille dans le logiciel depuis au moins 35 ans. Je réalise qu'après toutes ces années, je n'ai rien produit de "tangible", tel que de pouvoir montrer à quelqu'un une paire de botte dont le créateur peut être fier. Bravo.

[@byrnez2755]

[@timurnashaev3786]

Как раз на днях хотел искать видео "Как сделать обувь из кожи самому", и случайно наткнулся на это видео. И скажу честно-что то расхотелось делать самому😂. А мастеру ставлю отлично 👍 Это просто не передать словами как всё чётко он сделал. Были бы здесь такие мастера.

I Personaly think that this is the most difficult thing about shoes that I have ever seen.......I Have never seen anything like that .......Congrats to this Artist........The difficult level for these shoes are so very high......perfect work........congratulations !

[@anon_y_mousse]

Amazing job, and those blades are very well sharpened. Such skills will definitely be needed in the future after society has collapsed. I can't imagine what it would take to reverse engineer such a craft if you had to start from scratch.

[@uweploeger511]

Wow, absolut fantastisch, nicht nur das sie hervorragend mit Holz umgehen können, nein, jetzt zeigen sie auch noch das sie den besten Schuhmachern die größte Konkurrenz sind. Hut ab vor soviel Talent und Hingabe!

[@paulodmanoel500]

This is a work of art! Watching this at work and my colleague was beside me admiring your work and thinking what it takes to make this type pf work when your competition is the industry. Truly sparked a whole conversation.

[@OgeiDennepeL]

Well this type of work has an advantage compared to industrial products. They focus on big numbers and reduced costs,so they skimp on materials and construction as much as they can. A handmade boot will last 10 times longer than an industrial one since the construction in sturdier,more durable and the material are better,plus it can be repaired,resoled,even stretched or resized if you can find a skilled cobbler. This is way better than industrial shoes,but the price is generally very high,and rightly so

[@alexviev4330]

Ничего себе работа ! Мастер-золотые руки ! О такой обуви только мечтать. Конечно,не каждому по карману.

Absolutely amazing work man! This is why youtube is so amazing! We wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

[@samcoote9653]

This must be the most in depth, detailed look at building shoes from scratch that I have ever seen on youtube. And I've looked at a lot! I have always wanted to make a pair of shoes and have done minor repairs and things. This is really making me want to finally try and design my own. Beautiful workmanship! Those boots are beautiful! Amazing work :)

Nice work. Can you tell me what you use for the soles? And what kind of polyurethane foam do you use for the lasts? Thanks in advance.

[@kemitchell]

I believe Andi mentioned in a reply to another comment that he uses ASTI-OP from a firm called Beil in Germany. Their catalog recommends the 700 kg/m3 density for lastmaking. If you are interested in last casting, as I am, I also recommend that you look into thermoplastic polyurethane. Some of the German orthopedic suppliers also supply this material in pellet form, which can be melted down and recast many times.
