  • this is an awesome video and I appreciate all the work and craftsmanship that goes into making these.... but OMG I'm so glad for cheap chinese $20 shoes, I would always be barefoot if this was the only way to make shoes now.

  • @KustomFu That is called "demand". Having a wide selection is a good thing. On the other hand consider this: if shoemaking would have died out (practically), shoemakers would be able to produce shoes for around 100 USD, and chinese shoes would be sold around 50. And I believe I don't need to explain how much better to wear something from real leather than plastic.

  • one wrong move and that shoe would be a waste

  • @monchinee very true. 

  • wht liquid are u soaking leather in??

  • @ucheprof It was many year ago, I don't remember the name of that stuff. You can just use white Kiwi.

  • @DistendedPerinium agreed

  • In a world where everything is mass-produced on an assembly line, I think that it has become somewhat lost that real craftsmen were also artisans as well. I think this is one of the real treasures that Youtube has to offer; showing people that so-called "lost arts" like this are still being practiced and inspiring others to take up a craft. I myself have not ignored this and am looking into blacksmithing.

  • I won't ever say that the shoes that I byu are too expensive :/

  • WOWWWW soo Beautiful such a "fine" art! :)

  • wow. how long does it take to make a pair?

  • Thank your sir for ur reply i a shoe maker specialized on slippers i want to be an apprentice in your workshop im currently in malaysia so how do i get started?
