Raw Craft with Anthony Bourdain - Episode Ten: Cobblers

[@mygaming353]

I miss Anthony and all he did for everyone across the world by just starting a conversation.

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

Yeah man, I miss him and his perspective so very, very much. A true national treasure.

[@koreanjesus1983]

Yes. No one can tell a story better than Bourdain.

[@marinamercouri1683]

Actually, using ''shoemaker'' as an insult has to do with something that got lost in translation: before the French Revolution, 95% of the population wore clogs, not leather shoes, which were expensive. Clogs could be hewn out of a log in half an hour using an adze and a gimlet. So a guy hacking away at a log was a clogmaker (''sabotier'' in French) and if a cook hacked away at a piece of meat with a chef's knife instead of a meat cleaver, the chef might exclaim, ''What are you, a clogmaker or something?''. Btw, my father was a seventh-generation shoemaker. R.I.P., Anthony, sorely missed.

[@Sk0lzky]

Especially great thanks to the connection made between cooking and shoemaking. Are you a writer or something?

[@MarkWitucke]

Marina Mercouri thanks for the very interesting history

[@livingonadollar2882]

My father use to say What are you a shoemaker? ..No... Then why is that steak as tough as boot leather....same went for over cooked foods

Goodness, those are beautiful boots.

[@Garymayo]

Something missing, two things. The wonderful smell of a cobbler shop. The leathers, glues, woods are a magical mix. The second thing is the row of old chairs with regulars sitting around swapping stories. Old shoe repair shops are a dying breed

[@ravan01d]

Thanks for the series.

[@georgeroukas7399]

I HATE ads and refuse to watch them, and I know this is promotional for Balvenie, but they do it so well and give you so much in exchange that I feel like buying a bottle of Balvenie. I guess advertising does work if you do it right.

[@ribbit1964]

30 pairs a year?! Wow! 2 months per pair! What a fantastic story

No., its about 2 1/2 pairs per month. Do your math.

PLEASE Balvinie Keep coughing up the dough for this REALLY . I don't drink too much any more but I'll buy a coupla cases to do my part to keep this going ......

[@christopherspringmann]

Well done! I really enjoy Bourdain's first-person experiences and engagement with the artist (his personal suit, kitchen knife, shoes, skillet) but he's wise enough to branch out beyond that. I'm very pleased, too, that Balvenie Distillery has sponsored the series, posting the shows without charge on youtube. (I bought a bottle, as a thank you to Balvenie - great stuff!)

[@abelvaleriano7785]

RIP ...Anthony 🙏🙏🙏

[@pokergirl9985]

The shoe maker is awesome . End times .. I want a pair

[@MrTongallen]

Hey Balvenie please change the title of this video. A cobbler is not a shoemaker. Cobbler works on repairing old shoes while shoemaker makes a shoe from scratch, there is a huge distinction and most shoemakers would be offended to be called cobbler.

[@patrickbyr]

But Willies is a shoe repair shop, aka a cobbler. Raul also happens to make shoes.

[@justinzuleta820]

Imagine having his bespoke boots. The stories they could tell.

[@carloszenteno]

Wear them well, Anthony !!! Wherever you are !!!

[@karu6111]

damn, I love shoes

[@add1cc]

This type of profession or way of making shoes is still needed till this day.......

[@Misteriosa861]

my husband has 3 pairs of shoes from Raul and my husband also left two pairs of his old shoes you could see them they're in the background

[@ryanbonner25]

Misty De Francisco how much did he pay for one pair? do you pay more at first because they need to measure you and make a wooden foot?

[@Misteriosa861]

we had to pay less because my husband already had his own foot molds made

[@Misteriosa861]

But it was still pretty expensive but what do you expect with custom shoes and Raoul didn't make the shoes had another guy working for him back then plus my husband brought his own material

[@ryanbonner25]

yeah expensive, of course. is the price a secret?

[@Misteriosa861]

No it's not a secret pretty much he looks at you and sees how much he can get out of you

[@dalejones4186]

Great job guys. This is what our children need to see. How it is done by hand. Love the videos.

[@MojosArmy]

I love this series. I love that there are still people out there like this, making quality things by hand because it matters.

[@natalielanglois6952]

Just a word about "shoemaker" as a culinary insult...I spent 30+years in the business and always thought the reference was that the cook's food was like shoe leather, not as a reference to the difficulty of true shoe making...Tony?

[@SandraNelson063]

The reasons why those shoes fit so well? One; they are WIDE enough! Most folks won't get their shoes wide enough to move and flex properly. So the front of their feet end up all squashed and cramped and unbalanced. There is also the problem of nerve damage in the front of the feet. I have that, and it never gets better. I actually was selling good quality shoes, running around like a crazy person in agony. I had always had small feet, it NEVER occurred to me that my foot bones would spread because I was spending all that time on my feet every day, running all over the store. I was a 7B, Goddamn it! No. I became more like a 8.5 EEE, and I now where men's shoes. I can't work on my feet any more. Secondly! People don't support their backs or arches properly. But those suede booties come with a bit of heel, to help distribute the shock of walking all through the body. That bit of heel helps the arch function better, so that the constant shock of walking doesn't go straight to the small of the back. People with dropped arches (flat feet) are always exhausted or have pain in their back, their legs and feet. Once they start wearing shoes with a bit of heel that are also wide enough, it's like a miracle. Suddenly they have energy at the end of the day to get other stuff done, they can go out on Friday night instead of collapsing in a weeping, exhausted mess. Correct fit matters!

[@Mr.Bob_Dobalina]

I worked at a big handmade boot company for four years doings uppers (the top leather components) and various other things. This made me miss it a lot, we of course used more machines but a lot was hand done for thin expensive leather like in this video. I quit because the pay was bad, but I, and many others had a real passion for the work. I was apart in making and repairing celebrities boots and besides the pay, the work was all worth it and lead to great learning experiences.

[@Mickmickster]

30 pairs of shoes a year?!?!? How much are they, $10K, 20K, $367 billion?

[@evilish888]

Sadly, I don't think those beautiful bespoke Chelsea kicks got much time on Tony's feet

[@lunhing5308]

They are nice

[@Seek_Peace]

my guess is the shoemaker insult came from a chef who can't cook a steak and makes a tough as leather steak like "eating a shoe" ergo the chef turned a good steak into shoe leather and might as well make a shoe with it, it's not a jab at the shoe making trade it's an insult to a chef being so bad he can't make a proper steak.

[@mattfulton288]

I wonder what he'd say about the current state of the world and our country ... the fact that I can only wonder rather than hear it makes me sad. RIP (sweet boots)

[@harveypost7799]

There u go wondering if Pluto hav any Bourdain vids last nite,nope. so much fun watching a dead guy eat.

[@walkwithdeath]

Tony Bourdain had the power to connect to people from different cultures and places that even world renowned diplomats would envy. He was a charismatic, pragmatic and, by the looks of it, great bloke. I just wish someone could have helped him during his final months...anyways Tony, wherever you may be, know that you are missed!

[@mkivy]

Bless all these ppl that are now called “artisans” when years ago they were called craftsman...gentrification allows the name change...but thank you just the same! Come on Anthony, it’s not cool to say, “I have a morbid fear of clown feet?” U just say that to get the hip,set to agree with u...hello, they are just shoes! Like clowns...who the eff is afraid of a clown? I love them, mimes too!

[@themusicgraveyard600]

No, false. Shoes do not connect us to the Earth, they actually sever our connect to the Ohms or the energy of Earth, yet this is a great episode regardless.

Oh my god Anthony you talk about your bad feet my feet are worse than yours every day I cry when I have to put on m shoes I wish I could afford to go to LA and have some made for me. I have never been able to just put on a pair of shoes and walk out of a store with out pain, I love the shoes he made for you and your boots I wear out all of my shoes like you do.It must have been amazing to put on those shoes he made for you. Also by the way my favorite Scotch is Balvenie 12 year double barrel I never liked scotch but a bartender had me try this one and I have been turning people on to this amazing scotch ever since.
