Handmade Shoes for Men, How to Make Goodyear Welted Shoes by Paul Parkman

[@Lycian]

Those handmade shoes are a work of art. It would be a true honor to wear them.

[@enrique2739]

Christopher Wells agreed

[@BhanuPratapSingh-fz8fl]

Christopher Wells LOL 🤣 What's the point of honour 😆 Just pay a huge amount for it and wear it 😛

[@NallePu83]

it not air jordans

[@otto3967]

Air Jordans are piece of shit.

[@youarerightbut5066]

NallePu83 What does it have to do with the comment? People love to be so rasist behind the keyboard. Grow up. Evolve.

[@c.muguro]

You just can't help but admire the excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into the making these shoes. That shoemaker needs a medal.

[@halofire4725]

This is why if you have the money, go ahead and buy these shoes. Support the people who make it and the skill and effort it takes to make these.

[@ManuB3581]

This is art .

[@creativezebra5757]

Halo Fire yes....if I had the world's money , I wouldn't want to take an animals life for footwear. .....when synthetic materials are available. .....or maybe of animals which had died of natural causes.

[@Stringbean421]

@Washing Machine. You need to educate yourself a bit more before making comments like that. You clearly have no clue on how these leather skins are acquired. Enjoy your mass factory produced cheap synthetic shoes and leave us to admire the quality and craftsmanship of quality footwear.

[@creativezebra5757]

" You clearly have no clue on how these leather skins are acquired."....ok..then enlighten me...tell me how obliging were the animals ...that they themselves unzipped their skins and gave it to apreciators of the art of shoemaking...like seen in bugs bunny cartoons....tell me how these animal skins were acquired...

[@halofire4725]

For the record, animals have always been used by humans for all sorts of needs and luxuries such as food, clothing, etc. This has been going on long even before the great pyramids were even made. Think about it, ethnic tribes, royals, regular people of the past,they all used animals. Some literally wear wolves. And I'm pretty sure it was more brutal back in time. At least now, everything has modernized and all companies have already taken measures to remain as humane as possible.

[@williebourke3571]

Everyone should have 1 good pair of shoes , I'm lucky I've 2 pairs , The first pair I bought when I was 26 and I'm 64 now and a couple of resoled later they still lllok great , A pair for life ,GOD BLESS THE HANDS THAT MADE THEM AND ALL OTHER CRAFTSMEN WHO DEDICATE THEIR TIME TO THIS GREAT CRAFT ,

[@Longshanks1956]

I may never be able to afford a pair of these shoes, but it does not stop me appreciating the skill and workmanship. Thank you.

[@anonymoustroll6620]

Longshanks1956 you’re welcome

[@Giove83]

Wow I'm blown away by the level of skill these craftsmen have I really enjoyed watching this.

[@gsernar6491]

Worth every single dollar. The value of handmade goods.

[@user-fv1vg2bv5q]

This brings back my childhood memories. My father used to own a handmade shoe factory. I used to visit the factory and used to be in owe on how much workmanship goes into making something so unique, beautiful and comfortable.

[@MissElisabelle]

My family is average - poor. One day, I will buy one of these for my father. A unique pair of shoes made for him.

[@Pranam100]

Leslie Perez Best of luck buddy. I pray that you will be able gift him several such pairs .

[@pradanakusumaatmaja2450]

You can learn to made one

[@hammadateeq9095]

Good Luck for the gift

[@Randelliciouss]

Amen!

[@salmankaramat2377]

Best of luck pal, think high and you will get there.

[@candid1954]

It's truely a pleasure to watch a artisan at ones craft...whatever it may be in life. Makes one appreciate the finer things in life even though we all may not be able to afford such luxury. My compliments indeed!.

[@erfansafaeian8906]

I've recently started my own leather good business and am mostly making watch straps, belts and card holders at this stage but would love to one day be able to make shoes! Watching your videos along with others really inspired me to start leathercrafting, your shoes are beautiful and I will definitely buy one at some point.

[@patman0250]

The only advice I can give you is learn as much as you can. Find a shoe maker in your town that does this and become his Apprentice. That's how you're going to learn to be a master. Don't ever give up I too want to start a leather business, making wallets and belts. There's so much joy in working with leather it's undescribable, I take it you caught the same leather bug is me. LOL

[@abdussalam9191]

Hi we are tanning belt leather do you have any requirements iam from india

[@razakhan4852]

[@mariaw.8032]

Wielki szacunek -- :-) dla takiego ogromnego zaangażowania w podejście i zamiłowanie do wykonywania swojej pracy , wykonując ją jak sztukę teatralną . Piękne wykonanie . Chciałabym mieć tak wypieszczone buty :-))

[@danfeliciano570]

I hope this art never fades.

[@simplymiggy]

July 6 2019 and still watching. This is one of my dream shoes made by Paul Parkman. One day I will be able to buy one

[@razakhan4852]

How much price of one pair

[@simplymiggy]

@@razakhan4852 it ranges between $400 to $1400 per pair. You can check their website on the description box 😊☺️

[@mezianeremila454]

Wonderful job, I'm absolutely mesmerized by the quality of the handcrafting

[@cadu632]

A strong hug from Brazil for all dear friends!!!

[@jintei8524]

Impressive how I can gaze over such a beautiful shoe making process even nowadays. This is not a mere manufacturing process, is absolute art, pure and gorgeous.

[@MrScotchpie]

Wow I didn't think this skill was still being used. I was a pattern cutter and designer at Dunlop back in the day.

[@HT-ev3gg]

Your nails on left hand tells tales of sacrifice, hardwork, pain and years of expertise.. 💕💖💗 Very nice Video Sir 👍

[@WADYNASTY77]

love the shoes and the music everything about this video was amazing and i thoroughly enjoyed the craftsmanship

[@WADYNASTY77]

shoes range anywhere from 600+

[@Irisphotojournal]

I just checked the website and was pleasantly surprised at the prices. It would be really nice to have at least one pair of these handmade shoes, very nice indeed.!

[@TRUESEPH]

I can't imagine how comfortable a shoe built around my foot would be.

[@ebitlagger8840]

I think it will be like wearing 2 pairs of Ultraboost at the same time

[@vikeskie]

Ebit Lagger i’m fucking dying 😂😂

[@jalitvin2719]

Adidas or Asics will be most comfortable for foots.

[@petea2485]

It would be bliss and last forever if you look after them

[@yves8965]

Ich bin so sehr fasziniert von Ihrem Handwerk. Die Schuhe sind wirklich ein Traum.

[@mymummate1140]

This craft.. just in absolute awe. What incredible detail, care, skill. And people would waste thousands on a logo instead of eternal quality. Idiots

[@eliaskayegezi3585]

Even the logo owners wear this

[@user-fv1vg2bv5q]

What a beautiful point you made

[@peggyh4203]

This is the behavior that wholesalers and retailers or distributors only do in this way. For example, why brands such as Chanel, Gucci and LV have used their logos for many years, so the cost is very low.

[@alexkosta2535]

What A Beautiful Master Pieces !!!

[@kerder8660]

Amazing.... Thx for sharing... Pair of such shoes cost from $200 & up lasts lifetime & more, best cellphone cost around $1000 lasts 2-3 years.

[@toptens3498]

yup, look like thousand dollar shoes specially with croc and ostridge skin

[@skyz3ra]

lasts lifetime ? i bought 350€ galianos and they lasted 2years, i wore it everyday but protected them like my own life and i litterally just destroyed them rite now to see how they were made

[@Golden2Talon]

so they dont just lasted 2 years because you destroyed them yourself

[@rful3981]

mwsx Buy English shoes, Tricker's, Crockett and Jones, Cheaney. They will last 30 years or more.

[@jonathandavidsalladayoung2384]

custom made pair in mexico where i live 40 dollars made of goat skin and i love them.

[@bhalindersingh6104]

I enjoyed to see the great artist making shoes. I really enjoyed the video. God bless you.

[@amrabdulaziz8035]

These shoes are one of my life dreams and I hope that one day I will get one 🙏🏼💙 Like if you're so

[@tambahpintar6659]

Beautiful shoes. It's great to see masters at work no matter what their discipline is. I. Your shoes. Thanks for posting this. Again, those are beautiful shoes and it's a privilege to see the work behind the product. 👍

[@johnking2631]

i bought some shoes from them...a long time ago..for my dad's Bday spent a pretty penny...if a penny were a grand... my dad never wore them...

[@LambeauLeeeper]

John King bet your pops appreciated those.. And wore them with pride.

[@SaintStarcraft]

Laugh A lot you didnt read all of his comment

[@holmarunter3918]

do you think he is too scared to scratch them?

[@johnking2631]

Holma Runter no he told he doesn't like them..my dad is straight forward usually but after like a month i asked him why i never saw him wear them...he said "they're honestly ugly...and i dont like the holes in the shoe...they aren't stylish". my dad is like an old school square tip type of guy...so i made a stretch here...was honestly my fault...not trying to discredit these guys..i would of took them if they were a size 12 instead of a 10.

[@waider]

your dad obviously knows 0 shit about shoes lol sucks for you that you had to discover it the hard way

[@nourddinebelhocin5758]

Paul Parkman shoes are the most comfortable and most stylish shoe I’ve ever purchased.

[@Blackie1715]

[@mattmead2623]

Holy smashed fingers on that left hand

[@Bird_dog49]

King of the road. One of my grandpas favorite songs. These shoes are amazing!

[@gagamba9198]

It's a good video, but also a bit misleading. Goodyear welting is done by machine in a two-step process, to first attach the welt strip, the upper, and the rib of the insole together; and the second to attach the welt to the sole. The welt ties it all together. Yes, it's done by hand... a hand using a machine. What was shown here is hand stitching using a braided stitch often found in Norvegese, Bentivegna, and Goyser constructed shoes. Since this shoe has a welt (the thin leather strip shown at 7:02) this is a hand-welted shoe. There's nothing Goodyear about it. The only industrial process used was the sewing machine to attach the pieces of the upper. To see a Goodyear welt done there are many videos here. Select one from a Goodyear machine maker rather than a shoe maker to see the real deal. To hand sew a shoe as shown here takes a few hours. To sew a shoe using a Goodyear welting machine takes a few seconds.

[@TodaysSpecialMinis]

to be fair - he did say using the Goodyear welt "technique." Which means the hand stitching has the same look as the machines welted effect.

[@frunkytowntesla]

Goodyear welting can and is done BY HAND in high end shoe companies, like Paul Parkman. STOP USING WIKIPEDIA AS YOUR ONLY SOURCE OF INFORMATION!!!!!! OMG!!! You can watch him actually sewing the goodyear welt stitch BY HAND!!!!!! I hate it when people who will never afford a pair of hand made shoes thinks that they are fucking experts because they googled wikipedia!!!!! And using other youtube videos to prove your point? God damn, I bet you flunked out of school SO HARD!!!!! Fine! You want youtube videos to back up your point? Suck on these: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWXGmoChd8-knMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHm6fZRti5enlac kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6OUq4Fsa7-leJY kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKLSYYWAr9mMgLs etc..... Here is a simple search result of videos, dipshit: kzbin.info?search_query=goodyear+welt+by+hand Oh yeah, and this very video shows him sewing a goodyear welted stitch by hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sure if you are lazier than you are dumb, or the other way around...

[@blackout57]

Damn Richard you are acting like a dick, the guy may be wrong but you are so harsh on him. Calling him "dipshit" and co, I am sure at the second line this guy stopped to read your message. I you want to teach people something better be nice than acting like that.

[@afreeman1980]

@@frunkytowntesla You are correct, though a bit blunt. Goodyear welting can be done by hand. I've repaired several pairs of shoes and I'm not a cobbler but have done a lot of leatherwork. I have replaced the insole, rewelted, recorked, resoled and rehealed my own shoes many times. I have 3 pairs of shoes that are over 50 years old and still going strong. It takes a very long time without machinery but my sewing gets neater and neater every time.

[@annastarr2043]

Each pair is a work of art.

[@muzzmuzz1482]

You know it's a damn fine quality shoes when the shoemaker is too focus on his craft to care about his fucked up fingernails.

[@joe4678]

That's what happens when you actually work for a living

[@AmazinqCutie]

Hands of a real man who actually works hard for his keep!

[@LukeStrongflame]

you guys know working men can keep their bodies in decent condition, right? there's a difference between rough and calloused hands and fingernails which are genuinely unhealthy. this guy has the latter, and if he doesn't see a doctor, he's going to have more serious issues

[@AmazinqCutie]

[@monsterram6617]

No, he's not. It's obvious.

[@geosutube]

Fascinating. I'm going to the website just to see how costly those shoes are. I must know. I loved the music. These folks are country music fans of the old style. Thanks for naming the musicians. I am getting that album for home and work, esp. for my drives home.

[@jprice_]

AJ Lawens That was actual tip though and it was friendly, not snarky, like yours.

[@senorkaboom]

You do know that people can go to a shoestore and buy a nice pair of long lasting, comfortable, quality shoes for a 10th what you charge? I have purchased very comfortable leather shoes for under $100 and they held up for years.

[@TrioPack2222]

senorkaboom Calm down, no one is forcing you to buy his shoes. Also, this is how most real fine leather handmade shoes really cost. Your $100 leather shoes is probably just a smooth leather upper with synthetic sole and does not have Goodyear welt.

[@iayyam]

But those aren't handmade
