Goodyear welt by hand. Handmade shoes by Human Scales

[@dirtywater5336]

True craftsmanship like this is a dying breed. This was fascinating. It's a very labor intensive process to make a goodyear welted shoe. It really puts it in perspective when you wear a shoe like this that it's not just a shoe. It's a piece of art. Fine work, gentlemen

[@estetikayakkab2948]

they are turkish people as i hear

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

Isn't the goodyear welt typically done with a machine in just a couple of minutes? I heard it was a process invented for faster mass production.

[@snorttroll4379]

they do that too. but that is gay. much better to have hand made shoes.@@ShadeSlayer1911

[@plk5520]

Really nice to watch the tradition of Old World craftsmanship kept alive. Great choice of music is icing on the cake.

[@humanscales]

Thank you Patrick. I´ll tell our music-friends!

[@MiguelJuanez]

Human Scales seriously guys, great job! Hope to own one of these someday.

[@mdkhairezalrahmat1304]

Human Scales the tune is dope!! Whats it called??

[@benfried3745]

There is something immensely satisfying about watching shoes being made. Even though there is not nearly the same amount of hand craftsmanship involved, I've come to appreciate my old Florsheims as they deserve .

[@yotony0]

Absolutely amazing. Do these guys know how good they are at this art?? Mesmerising. Bravo.

[@susheergovindaraj5842]

Marvellous, this is one classic piece..the design of the shoes is timeless and hats off to all those hands that created this shoes. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video..

To watch this art form in action is a thing of beauty.

[@samsonstaats3851]

I appreciate that this video was not pretentious, most of these are people so full of themselves and it almost makes you hate the work they do, but this is quality made stuff to jazz and it's awesome.

[@Micloren]

Really cool video. I paused it a lot to get a better grasp of what they were doing in certain spots... mostly the goodyear welt parts. It's honestly inspiring me to attempt to craft my own personal footwear (not as fancy of course).

[@PONYBOYonline]

Really is a work of art. Which is why you buy the shoe. Not because you need a nice looking quality shoe.

[@geraldwest3428]

Excellent job and thanks for sharing this Human Scales thumbs up!

[@zefdin101]

Nice work. Question, you do not find, when sewing the upper with the liner outside, that it changes the shape of the top line around the ankle? I’ve had this problem…. I understand the difficulties, using a flat bed sewing machine to do this part. I usually just sew the top line by hand to avoid this problem. Maybe the way you pre-glued it prevents issues? I usually only glue the adelaide and just the very top edge.. I am curious to see how they turn out. Excellent, thank you for posting!

[@budthechud3408]

Seriously want to know what kind of stitching pattern or method the old man, who was clearly a master, used to fix the welt to the upper?

[@dragomxsoldier]

So the nails that where hamered to the mold stay in the shoe after the mold was removed?

[@zulkiflijamaludin8066]

How much is this cost sir? It looks beautiful 😍

[@EdAb]

Amazing work! Doesn't the sole have to have a canvass gemming for it to be a true Goodyear welt? Otherwise, isn't this just beautifully hand stitched shoe?

[@Micky1964]

Where is this workshop? It looks like Italy, which wouldn't surprise me. Wonderful skills.

[@humanscales]

Hi Micky. It's in Istanbul. They're really great shoemakers. They told me that Goodyear welt is called something like "gazuma" in Turkish. Thanks for watching. Have a great weekend.

[@Micky1964]

Thanks for the quick reply. You have a good one, too.

[@jamesbelan]

No cork in between the outer sole and inner sole?

[@GLDPVET]

Excellent shoes

[@cubul32]

@Human Scales: could you leave the shoe white if you wanted? What are the best transparent waxes or leather finishes?

[@shocky74]

Yet A lovely lovely job

[@repairdrive]

They leave the nails in??? Plus what happens when that bare thread on the bottom gets worn out?

[@marcusrnning1197]

I've been interested in making a pair of boots for a while. It seems hard, but doable

[@hoang1706]

The question is: did you pull the nails off or they must stay there?

[@armandovitug7830]

Please correct if I'm wrong , this is not a Goodyear welt it is a handwelt..

[@w_m64]

Nice craftmanship. Btw do you make belts to compliment your shoe?

How much do those cost?

[@IllinoisTrafficAttorney]

Do they even make these? I went to the website and all I can see is faux welted shoes (uneven stitching per inch from top of the outsole to the bottom of outsole).

[@diogofaria2762]

Hi, great video! What is that liquid they put before the fire?

[@humanscales]

Hi Diogo! Im so sorry for not responding earlier. First they apply the color they then use an airbrush to create a shadow effect. It´s only a darker nuance. At last they polish using a shoe cream. There´s no special liquid applied prior to the burn process. Thank you for showing interest! Best

[@Bearaudeus]

I was high while I watched this.... I loved it soooo much!

[@drfarnz]

nicely done. wish to have them pairs. :D

[@BarryLester]

I thought you were supposed to add some cork paste or filling between the soles.

[@spencerlee7852]

Cork filling is only necessary with goodyear welted shoes, this is a handwelted shoe, which is a step above and cork filling is optional. Goodyear welting requires you to glue a linen canvas strip onto the insole, this creates a protrusion around the shoe that the machines can easily use to stitch the welt. This also creates a cavity where you would fill the cork. As you can see in this video, the cobblers cut into the insole and directly hand stitch the welt. Machines can't stitch the welt directly onto to the insole because you have to stitch at a curve, so handwelting is reserved for the most expensive shoes.

[@adityaoswal9084]

Meanwhile somebody spends 400 bucks on a pair of jordans that'll last a year

[@ramtrucks721]

Jake Wittenberg Ur an idiot

[@elconquistador1352]

and they are also trash!

[@ProceduralAbberation]

Although I agree with you in that I think most styles of Jordans are absolutely garbage and hideous. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if you think they are right for you and if you can afford them then go for it! However the problem is Jordans have a high price tag and are often marketed to people who do not have a ton of expendable cash. This is the true crime, that the Jordan trade has such a dark history, keeping the poor, poor, providing low quality product at ridiculously high prices, and child slave labor. When I look at a shoe like the ones made in this video I see art, beauty, something to be enjoyed. When I look at a Jordan I see something cheap, ugly, meaningless, and harmful. The rabid fans of Jordans will kill their Mom's for the next $2,000 pair that comes out, despite often being in severe debt and having little to no income. Surprisingly though, I will say, Jordans continue to have a decent resale value, which does not give credit to quality rather than demand. It is the fans that put value on these shoes not the quality of how they are made or how they perform. I think that is the argument that Jake Wittenberg might have been trying to make. Given the quality of the product, the handmade nature, these shoes should be worth way more, Jordans being mass produced in a factory, and last a fraction of the time in use, well they just are not as good of a product for the price. They are the shoes for the depth-less, the carbon copy-wannabes, the band wagon hoppers. Jordans are not shoes for free willed, independent, classy, adults. Just my opinion and I am sure a ton of Jordan fans will get pissy, but it is not likely they're watching videos of how quality shoes are made so I think I am safe. They are too busy watching videos out there on how to pay more for less.

[@raidennaz1590]

@@ProceduralAbberation agreed. I gotta admit that all fashion industry is harmful to the environment in general (chrome tanning residues, mink oils etc.), but "Fast Fashion" industry and hypebeast culture however is on a whole new level. It really does a detrimental damage to our planet with its synthetic material it used mainly. Those branded sneakers mostly aren't even durable nor it will withstand years of use, not to mention that the same people who bought pairs of collabs shoes ain't bother to repair/resole their shoes and likely buy a new one every 3 months for the drip.

[@TheGungunn101]

Jordans are expensive because of resale value and collectibility. Everyone buying those shoes knows they aren’t amazing quality. It’s the same reason people collected baseball cards back in the day or magic cards now. They’re just pieces of paper, and everyone buying them is aware that what makes them expensive is their rarity

[@MindbodyMedic]

Excellent demo video because it shows a wholecut shoe, which is one piece of leather and according to what I've heard a little trickier to get exactly right. This is natural crust leather as well, no pigment or colour until dyed at the end with patina. Note how he trims the liner at the very very end then dyes/paints the exposed piece. V labour intensive which is why a 'mostly handmade' shoe is gonna cost you $300 plus. To be honest, anything less than that is usually an inferior product.

[@DelinxDelinquant]

Where to buy these in the uk

[@shocky74]

Hi,By all respect to those esteemed masters,the correct word should be "patuma" for weltingprocess,the word "gazuma" is for when you stitch the upper to the sole but this time the upper sole folded outwards from the mold.Thank you for the nice work,though.

Hi Jakenova. Sorry for late reply. Do you mean the plastic last? Even if I wanted to show every step in the making. I was guessing that removing the last should´t be that exciting. It´s no more dramatic than removing a snug fitting pair of shoes really. Thanks for stopping by!

[@nakikiusolang]

+Human Scales there are nails. How do you easily remove the plastic last?

[@humanscales]

Hi nakikiusolang! at 3.40 they remove the nails. Is that what you meant by nails? The grey marks is only leftovers from the nails. I guess some sort of oxidation from the metal nails. It only looks as if they´re still there. Is this the answer you were looking for? Have a great day!
