[@SpicyDragonWings]

Just when you think he's talking metaphorically about cutting the shoe open this madman actually goes and does it. Fair play.

[@brentschmgbert3578]

Its a normal thing to do. But I understand this is new to you.

[@TheEchelon]

The whole thing is made out of scrap leather, the point is that you can do stuff like cutting it open. It's basically a prototype.

[@JGStone]

@@TheEchelon How is it scrap leather,when it's enough material for a whole shoe? Is it damaged in some ways or what's wrong with it?

[@wendyev310]

@@JGStone the whole shoe is like $6k and the shoe in this video is made from “second grade leather” as the guy said. It’s essentially perfectly fine leather that’s not 100% perfect. They’re whole brand is about making the PERFECT shoe so it makes sense they won’t use it. And obviously for that price they have the budget to do the whole process of making a scrap shoe prototype before making the real shoe

[@PhillyAvGeek]

I'm convinced you didn't see the thumbnail

[@KotaKush]

I’ve always been into streetwear and a more grungy look but just seeing the craftsmanship process is beautiful. I don’t think I could be classy even if I wanted to this is a whole different world to me but it’s extremely interesting. Such a well made shoe to be able to be cut and reshaped and yet it still turns out amazing. Really cool video

The fact that these shoes that are very nice and such are made to be cut up so they can make an better shoe is just telling u how much time care and effort goes Into these, hounestly amazing

That and he understands that he's getting a chance at advertising his brand via Kirbys channel

[@MindbodyMedic]

@@darthenx2585 precisely, I'm sure G&G customers understand this. I would assume Kirby pays full price & the promotional side is in exchange for expedited delivery.

[@boogeyman423]

Very informative. I'm not a fan of the classic style, don't wear any suits or shoes like this but the craft itself, I like watching it. Made to measure will always be the most desirable choice when wanting the best.

[@pupdiogenes2548]

I was under the impression this video would be full of questionable fashion choices, but then I saw the suit Tony Gaziano was wearing. Holy shit.

[@joshdcamp]

I appreciate your interaction style. These are more conversational and about building relationships than straight ahead interviews. Thanks for helping maintain a baseline across all the makers.

[@jiboo6850]

always a pleasure to watch this kind of thing. expression of talent right in front of our eyes. can't wait to see the final result. cheers Kirby!

[@your-lordship]

One of your best video. I like that you make these longer videos with much more indepth information. Thank you for all the work you put into making this video. Gazino & Girling are amazing.

[@josephheinecke1992]

This was wonderful. Both educational and entertaining. Thanks for a glimpse into the bespoke world!

“What is it in this that we’re looking to validate?” One of the coolest parts of following your journey is watching you get more and more educated on these fields. So impressive; well done sir.

[@StevenCampbell1955]

Thank you, Mr. Kirby Allison for this informative video. I shall add that I much admire the suit you wear. From the lovely wide suit collar to the trouser's turned cuffs, it is sublime.

[@frankrizzo7185]

That truly was something special. Well done Kirby and Tony.

[@webstercat]

Never owned expensive clothing but I can appreciate the craftsmanship & style. If one can afford to be dapper & doesn’t they are scoundrels…

[@carmina776]

Hey Kirby! Once again, a great video. Would you consider making a video comparing the shoe creasing patterns of your shoes that are bespoke and ready to wear as well as shoe that is slightly too big/too small. I think it would make for a really informative video as well as highlighting the major advantage of bespoke. A picture comparison of the above, like in Daniel Wegen shoe video would be really good.

[@kirbyallison]

Good idea! I will have a think about that one. Thanks Mike

[@anthony5227]

Ketamine? As in horse tranquilizer?? Hmm interesting pairing

[@sekytwo]

This was incredible. What a true master of his craft.

[@chrispnw2547]

Thank you for a comprehensive education on bespoke shoe fitting. As the science/understanding of podiatry has grown over time, I wondered if our current understandings (toe splay, heel-to-toe drop, pronation, etc.) would filter down into traditional shoe making considerations and cause a rethink of traditional shoe designs.

Lems and Duckfeet use natural foot shaped lasts. I just wish they would make the highest quality resoleable shoes.

Excellent video Kirby. Like your style my friend. I've always wanted to have a bespoke pair of shoes, and now I know where to go. Tony comes across as a proper knowledgeable craftsman. I never knew about G&G always go down Jermyn Street, but will be hopping on the train to Londinium as soon as I can get an appointment.

[@philopapos]

Big thanks for this eye-opener of a video. Had no idea just how elaborate a process this is. Great!

[@dannycarrier3617]

I have a thought, Kirby. Have you ever considered going through a molding/casting process to compare the end product (fit & finish), as well as, the experience vs traditional bespoke shoes?

[@Pantomath.]

Great idea.

[@armedferret]

That "occasionally" was exactly what happened with my first pair from them....the trial fitting shoe was actually absolutely perfect. The finished shoes are en route now, very much looking forward to their arrival.

[@scotthooton7478]

Good video, a bit theatrical in parts obviously, I think it's worth highlighting that bespoke shoes are nothing like bespoke suits : You can get a bespoke suit as a one off (special occasion etc) and it'll be fabulous - whereas bespoke shoes are, in my view, an *alternative* to even high end ready made shoes - the first pair may well be a disappointment as the fit adjusts (no guarantees !) however it'll be worth it - you'll have less pairs taking up space and amazing foot-ware 2:1 or 2.5:1 price is a decent proxy for price vs high end RTW (eg Edward Green etc) Also it can take 6 mths plus for delivery end to end - so plan ahead !

Never had a custom pair of dress shoes but i do have a custom pair of boots. The process of measuring isn't as complex, you just take the measurement of the ball, instep, heel and the calf. Also mine probably don't cost as nearly as much as these. I would have to guess 2k+ for the fully bespoke models where as i paid $700 and the fit on them is 90-95% perfect.

[@TheRacerRich]

A question I've always wondered about - when the shoe is brand new, i.e. the first wear, is it beneficial to tie it really tight, so it most conforms to the foot during that initial 2mm stretch, or is it better to be a bit loose to minimize how much that initial stretch is?
