How to make a shoe - Part 1.

[oboydetes]

Отличный результат! A great result!

[IzzitNotTrue]

OK, this guy makes REALLY good shoes (the kind I haven't seen for forty-fifty years at any price). You ain't gonna learn advanced technique from watching a freaking video on YouTube! Take his class, ask for his recommendation of nearby people to apprentice yourself to, or quit whining and learn what you can - namely, how to recognize good old-fashioned craftsmanship when you buy his shoes. I had been wondering why shoes suck nowadays - compare this to "Prada factory" videos & you'll see why.

Ew those r ugly as hell

[nghtmrofdarkness]

I have a question about making uppers.

I want to try to replicate a certain shoe, what thickness/type of leather is best?

It seems calfskin is the general consensus, but what do you use?

Same question for the leather lining.

[Villantic]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! Hey why don't you show to how to make a shoe like the video says OR CHANGE THE TITLE!

I gave you a thumbs down.

BOOOOOO!

[AdamChaosVideos]

I am currently making heel less heels like the ones on the Lady Gaga HBO special and I am wondering how I would wrap those in leather.

[GiftednTalented909]

I've always wanted a pair of kick-butt knee-high boots, could you please make a video so that I may make some for myself?

[GiftednTalented909]

I've always wanted to make myself a pair of kick-butt knee high boots. could you make a video for those? please?

[MarcellHUN]

@hams46

go to cordwainertools . com

[flutterbyrocket]

The thumbnail preview for this looked promising. When I saw it was for making actual shoes and not someone cutting through flesh, I was severely disappointed... but now I know how to make shoes (out of flesh)! Thanks for the video :) 10/10

[poonsinj]

nice

[poonsinj]

Excellent of making shoe by hand.

[Techrave1]

I want to lessen how to make shoes because I want to make custom parkour shoes with good grip :D

[BreezesofConey]

I want to learn how to make shoes so that I can make reproduction Victorian shoes. Where can I learn? Shoe making is a dying art yet someone obviously knows how to do it, it's a bit unfair to hoard all that knowledge and not offer it to others don't you think?

[MarcellHUN]

@BreezesofConey

I've been teaching shoe making courses for nearly 3 years now. I will host more in 2012, during summertime.

[creelavallee]

@MarcellHUN

I am interested in  your course! When and where and how much and how long!

[2JobsStillPoorUSA]

@BreezesofConey You want to make Victorian shoes or renaissance shoes? I know a fellow in Oregon that has an apprenticeship DVD for sale for $500, that teaches you how to make some seriously cool leather boot/moccasins. PM me if you want the info.

[terriblegallo]

Great Video, Can any one tell me the names of the main tools use to the make the shoe? where can I get this kind of tools? I been browsing ebay but can find them I would like to know the specific names of the tools used in this videos. thanks in advance.

[MarcellHUN]

@terriblegallo

all the tools can be purchased on cordwainertools . com (well not all of them, because some of the tools I use are more than hundred years old - but we are doing our best)

[exaltdragon]

Where can I find the two shapes shown at 2:15 and 2:16?

[kawless]

no audio?

[Arynellah]

Is there a longer version of this video with detailed instructions and explanations?

[MarcellHUN]

@Arynellah

I have a very detailed two-hour DVD about simple cemented construction. go to cordwainertools . com to purchase it.

[ami7mina]

hi, where should i go to buy the materials? i mean what is the name of the place?

hmmmm.. shoe factory?? thanks :)

[wonderfuldreamer1]

I would love to make shoes, but not many places in my part of the U.S have courses. I hate that everything gets out sourced, then people like me who want to study desing have not way to intern.

[MarcellHUN]

@wonderfuldreamer1

Up until last month, I had shoemaking courses continuously. I will have more courses coming up in 2012.

[OMGstrawberrys]

what kind of shoes are those?

[DuccieGates]

this is very cool because i want to become a shoe desgner what materials did you use to make this shoe

[JepMaster8]

I would really love to learn how to make shoes like these. I would pay to learn this any day! Do you teach in the us? If so, please send me information on how I could attend your class, price etc. Thank you.

[TirianB]

That is an extremely annoying video to watch with all the editing. You should show more than 2 seconds of each process.

[MarcellHUN]

@TirianB Well, some people wants to learn from it - I believe they enjoy it, like this. On the other hand OI made a shortened version - shoemaking in 7 minutes. You might like that more..

[doctorrowanna]

@MarcellHUN I don't think @TirianB means it's slow, what they're saying is it's too fast and you don't have enough time to actually work out what's going on. By 36 seconds you already have a sole made and we have no idea how you did it! What about a list of equipment and then maybe some writing whether in video or in description, or even speech telling us what you're doing and how you're doing it.

[FutureLaugh]

@TirianB hey man this isnt atutorial- its just a video on how they make it.  Thank god for the editing because maybe i dont want to see the 8 hour step by step process. Go buy a book on making shoes if you want more details

[MrHori75]

ezt igy kell csinálni..BRAVO.

[KaiserVadin]

How its made - Shoes

[yumyumluckycharms]

Greatest thing a man could do to another man... make him a pair of shoes :) Bless you sir, keep up your skills!

[TheMyVew]

@MarcellHUN Can you take a College course on shoe making?

If so have you got to be a good drawer to make the designs.. as id love to take this up but im not a verry good drawer at all :-( LOL

[MarcellHUN]

@TheMyVew I don't think so.

[kimmysoul]

@MarcellHUN how much for the materials for the heels and soils. I got a book on how to make shoes and I really want to make some shoes but I went to a shoe supply store and they told me the materials are so expensive because they usually don't have people wanting to make store but only get their shoes fix.

[ManeAttraction0]

@TheMyVew you can take classes for that in college, most likely a art school. Your drawing should get better with lessons and practice! :)

[lovelife3able]

@TheMyVew you can become accessories major at a college they have classes on shoe making

[Burktholumue]

you really see how major companies have destroyed this profession.. watching this guy you can tell its a skilled trade.. unfortunately its not practiced at a large extent

[playcss1992]

coool :))

[putankaat]

This is an excellent video, I made my first pair by watching all of them, Thanks! :)

[meucuzinho]

stoooooooopid!

[MarcellHUN]

@meucuzinho Thanks again. I can't be grateful enough for your visits.

[meucuzinho]

@MarcellHUN stop talking bs and change the tittle of your video to " how shoes are made" because your video is not a tutorial!!!!!!! " How to make a shoe - Part 1." sounds objectively, directly like a tutorial, and you end up misleading people because YOU'RE NOT TEACHING ANYONE ANYTHING! why is it so hard to understand it, you serene highness? Use merit in order to get atention! No reply necessary!!!!!

[MarcellHUN]

@meucuzinho Sir. 1: You and no other nameless internet troll will not tell me what should I do, reply or not. 2: I didn't ask your opinion, especially if you can't express yourself like a cultured human being - politely. 3: I teach hundred people every year personally and inform thousand more every year with videos like these. 4: Internet means you are free to choose what you look what you don't - if you don't like these videos, it is so easy: just don't watch them.

[zimflo1]

@MarcellHUN

To be fair, I really really enjoyed your series.. thanks for putting it out there, your work is extremely high quality as well.

Thanks

[oOjumpman23Oo]

@MarcellHUN I HATE U!! HOPE U BURN IN HELL!!!

[MarcellHUN]

@oOjumpman23Oo See you there

[hallotp]

@meucuzinho Just because you lack the mental ability to learn doesnt mean the rest of us cant. Learning to make shoes requires time and dedication. Only an idiot would get pissed because they cant learn a craft in 7 minutes online! Go crawl away now.

[Hughesnb10]

You have inspired me. I want to learn to make shoes.  Do you recommend any books?

[MarcellHUN]

@Hughesnb10 Well, there are some in the market, but not what you might look for. follow my blog, maybe you will find something useful soon.. ;)

[ForkYouWashington]

That looks like alot of work.. I'll just buy a pair..

[MarcellHUN]

@ForkYouWashington Yeah.. at least one person.;)

[MarcellHUN]

@ForkYouWashington At the moment I don't offer ready shoes... in a few month, yes

[meucuzinho]

this is not how to make a shoe, moron! " how to make" are tutorials and this is not one! imbecil!

[MarcellHUN]

@meucuzinho Thank you Sir, for your valuable and really constructive opinion. Maybe you should have some time to watch the other videos, which shows the whole process very detailed. BTW this is really not the whole process - you are right, that's why it is called PART 1.

[Moriquendi001]

@MarcellHUN Well I at least am very grateful for the detailed and instructive videos, thank you for sharing your expertise.

[kiryn1980]

@meucuzinho More often than not, I find those who post inane and ridiculous posts and who insults a true master at his chosen craft, is the real moron and imbecile.

Anyone who has a little bit of intelligence will be able to benefit from this video, tutorial or not. It is pretty obvious you do not have the required intellect. So please, go watch some porn or something. Nobody forced you to watch this.

Oh, and by the way. Learn to spell.

[escudoturbo]

I am suprised any shoemakers have finger-tips looking at knifes used on the leather :)

[escudoturbo]

I am suprised any shoemakers h

ave finger-tips looking at knifes used on the leather :)

[Digitalman271]

Where can I get a shoe flask? Or shoe cement?

[Wodenhelm]

But do these shoes have internet access?

[carlitospimentel72]

Can I get these videos from you? they are excellent! and they could be useful

[SteamRegime]

What is the liquid you put the leather in? Is it just water?

[iansquared3]

this really is spectacular. i need a pair of these shoes. with good maintanence, ive heard they can last a lifetime

[InuyashasFreak01]

lol, it looks like he's peeling a sack of potatos .

[SURFUR]

An armfull of roses to you for putting this up. Ballet, so endlessly demanding, consuming... such a lifelong sacrifice... any information distributed for the baby ballerinas, to prep the young'uns for the life is always appreciated.

Ballerinas dream of donning toe shoes. It's a right of passage.

And to those who are just itching to go out and buy a pair of pointes...

--Merde, Good luck, and see you in class, Dane Youssef

[Czaendermajer]

▐▐▐!!!You Should be Proud!, for it is the skill of the craftsman that deffines the shifting & circulation of power in all things of nature!!!, the abillity to produce hand made items is a skill which can never be obsoleted!!!▐▐▐

[adrianrevolver]

thank you for take the time to show us its really great do that

[enigmatictreasure]

i have a pair of shoes that i really love but now can no longer wear. Can you make a replica of my shoe? I am more than willing to pay you for ur hard work! I've been looking everywhere for the same shoe but have no luck :(

[MarcellHUN]

Well, theoritically it it possibile, but I must warn you about my prices... contact me, if you mean it seriously.

[enigmatictreasure]

Well, where can i contact you to know the prices. It's a very simple shoe. I can send you a picture of the shoe. Where can i contact you about the prices?

[enigmatictreasure]

what are your prices?

[LArgrew]

@enigmatictreasure why don't you just bring your old shoes to a local shoe cobbler? Good cobblers can work miracles on old shoes!

[LArgrew]

@enigmatictreasure

why not take your shoes to a local cobbler? good cobblers can work wonders on old shoes!

[jemaicah17]

i can understand i need to make a shoe for my grandpa he has really big foot because he is sick :((

[youutubestinks]

@jemaicah17 keep on looking for here or go to instructables . com ; )

[bxfabolous]

now my question is how how much will all of this cost to make

[Joppie1973]

no it isn't :P only the old way of it

nice to show us how you cut that bridge in the insole

haven't try it my self but i wil

fine that you teach people

we need more of them

[kazesamurai1000]

wow, all with one knife, that must be one freakin' sharp knife to cut leather that well. also, what oz leather is that? it looks like 6-7 but in case i want to try this i just want to make sure

[OfficiaLGraceStudios]

you would be my hero if you showed me how to make my own managable monolo pump replicas... can u?

[TheGeniusGuru]

Very interesting... but I cannot imagine myself sitting there making a shoe haha.

[300grand456]

how come 24 hours later ur wearing the same clothes

[MarcellHUN]

it is very easy.

[Rawru]

it seems to be one of those cooking show manuvers where they have the pre-cooked pie already in the second oven.. the newspaper is different on the second parcel

[bxfabolous]

lol

[MarcellHUN]

To see me live, and to experience what it feels like to be a shoemaker, come to my hands-on course in New York in November, or be an apprentice in my workshop for a month in Budapest, Hungary.

[Yadigg54]

[313pookie313]

[cybertracy]

[Spoofehness]

What is the liquid you put the leather in for 24 hours?

[MarcellHUN]

Simple water.

[vindicta911]

[BigRedBus100]

Thanks mate, wonderful to watch a real craftsman. Do the nails go into the last? If not where, insole?

[roselilly12]

is there any audio?

[MarcellHUN]

No, there is not.

[xxRoxasxxAxelxxSora]

u should make some bruce lee shoes xD thatd be amazing :D(i think they are kung fu shoes)

[MarcellHUN]

Maybe I can show that too once, but I am a shoemaker - last making is a different profession.

[ytcases]

Nice leather work but you can make a shoe with the last. When does that part (last making) get demonstrated?

[joanmanu455]

este señor es un verdadero artesano del zapato, solo a bastado verlo empezar poniendo la subsuela en la horma(en menorquin)y como maneja la cuchilla, y preparar para empalmillar, lo dice un menorquin que empezo el oficio a los 12 años,(y ya tiene 70) un saludo joan,

[MarcellHUN]

Gracias por las bonitas palabras!

[StephanAOTTO1]

Thanks so much for making & sharing your series of videos with the rest of us. In a few months, I'll be able to order my very first pair of bespoke shoes, and, after seeing your videos, I'll NEVER AGAIN gripe(if only to myself) about the delivery schedule.LOL

[ana8lu]

Sir,

I love you with all my heart, that`s EXACTLY what I`ve been looking for. God bless you.

But how come your hands are prettier than mine?

[NicoretteMan]

Great series, not many shoemakers remaining, btw the music goes perfect with it.

[advancedanced07]

there is no sound

[punstress]

I didn't hear any sound. My speakers work, I just tested them.

[josephcallme]

nice too bad you cant make jordans

[Mortal1977]

Great video man ;) what's thebackground music, if you don't mind me asking ?

[ginaddict]

great craftsmanship. btw, where is he soaking the leather into?

[MarcellHUN]

Lextron - A leather sole doen't give a so differetn feeling. It is a kind of "elegant" wear for a gentleman, BUT... It can be much more healthy than the regular plastic soles.

utooth - thickness for the sole can be 4,5 mm - 6 mm, depending on the technology. e.g. in my next video you can see a double soled shoe - it is approx 8 mm. Thicker than this is not recommended.

[utooth]

Great video. What is the thickness and quality of the leather you used in making the shoes?

[LEXTR0N]

how does a regurler leather plane leather shoe feel

[MarcellHUN]

Third too

[MarcellHUN]

The next part is on!

How to make a shoe - part 2.

[artzend01]

Some good information in this video. Amazing how not much changes between shoemaking techniques from country to country.

[MarcellHUN]

Thank you, very soon I will put the next part on.
