How to make a shoe - Part 2.

olympus: Good grief.. plenty of good shoes have them, do you think they are just held with duct tape and superglue?

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.

i dont think i'd like a load of nails in my shoes

any way you can re-post these with the original audio?

Yes but where is the upper made? Could be anywhere but a lot of companies get them made in Asia to save costs. Then they do the rest here and can still call it made in England (or where ever) because only 20% needs to be done here for it to be called made in England.

It is wonderfully ironic that someone who calls himself musclehulk would cry like a bitch about the few extra ounces the nails add. The are old school finely crafted dress shoes, dimwit, not running shoes.

Harden up, candy ass.

Marcell keep up the work, member of the forum, Disregard any idiots from the United States who blabber out there but when they don't know anything when it comes to shoe making. If muscle would watch before he complains he would find out that the nails are removed. He probably is big but no brains. Most people here in the states think a good pair of shoes or boots are from the retail shelf in stores, they don't know the feel or fit from a custom pair of shoes or boots. Bootmaker in Texas

If you are referring to the nails in this video, well, they are taken out later, just watch the next videos. Those Nails are just to make the upper stay at its correct place before being sewn into the insole.

thank you very much......i'd been trying to find it forever.....that and I was mistaken for "love is alive", lol!

I don't agree with you. You would never check the aerodynamicswhen you buy a Rolls Royce, you wouldn't care the modern materials if you would order a bespoke suit from an Italian master - then why you complain about weight, when you see an ancient craft, making really old traditional shoe?
Believe me: these shoes are comfortable, much more healthy than those lightweight junks, and never course a smelling foot, like them. ..and a strong man can wear a real shoe, no, even if its a few grams more?
