Hand Made Walking & Hiking Boots - Crafting Process

This is what is considered sticking to your roots. These days they glue the rubber on and no stitch, and they sell for over 100, and then they fall apart in one season. You can tell these shoes you can wear for over 15 years. Now that is quality. I will always buy handmade shoes.

Back in the 1980's there was a tragic event in Victoria at Mt Bogong where a couple of school kids went bushwalking with cheap Chinese rubber and cloth "military style " boots which literally fell apart and stranded the kids ,who perished in some extreme weather. A good solid, high quality boot is priceless..

@labrat7357 If you want a good pair of mil-spec or "military grade" boots, try save some money and buy one that are "Made in the USA". I'm talking for real.

Very interesting! Really fun to watch and provides insight as to why one shoe costs more than another.
