@@jaimendivil8986 Correct me if I am wrong, I saw him stitched the leather strip-like welt on 7:22 and then 10:05 I saw a welt on the shoes then he stiched the midsole at 11:16 before he glued a spongy like outsole. What I know about the good year welt construction that it has a two stitch, one on the welt with outsole and one that stitches between an upper, insole and the welt, like this. www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.crocodile-bag.com%2Fproduct%2Fmens-genuine-alligator-leather-derby-shoes-in-goodyear-welt&psig=AOvVaw1I3et2E9q-rhEjVKogN1u2&ust=1598178072560000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCKihy7XLrusCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAs I do feel like it is the similar construction on the Thorogood or RW1097.

I see a bunch of peeps complaining about the music. To each their own. It integrally made a 17 min video go by for me like it was 4 minutes. It’s Brian’s video and marketing, obviously it has gotten him clients HE wants to serve and built him a brand the way HE sees it. It reminds me of the soundtrack Dead Man from the film by Jim Jarmusch. I personally LOVE the guitar motif, it holds a captivating beautiful tension, sensitivity and mysteriousness and it’s super tasteful, it’s not some fookin dubstep or reggaeton boolsheet, with a twerking booty to get you guys off. It serves the detail, artistry and Brian’s craftsmanship wonderfully. Keep doing you Brian, don’t listen to those fools!

Hmmm. You really can't. The way sneaker soles are stiched to upper requires special equipment. He had to add a welt, footbed, midsole to be able to. That sneaker weighs at least twice as much now. But, honestly will also be way more comfortable once the footbed molds to the owner's foot. And the white crepe midsole he used still has a lot of cushion. It's definitely an upgrade.
