@makasytan I would also recommend you to preferably buy the zippers by yourself and just send them to the shoe maker to take out those hooks and sew in the zippers bc you might not like the zippers the guy might have there in his workshop, they just get super cheap or mid ones.
I own a pair of 60mm (grain) camel leather tabis, the leather feels tougher than lamb and calf leather pairs that i have seen and felt, but they came with some small "scuffs" in the leather which isnt bad as it feel like it came from an animal and not like some cheap shien or temu leather with several layers of plastic, but the leather might be to tough for a 30mm pair as the break in period for the camel leather is longer than the lamb or calf skin pairs( it took me like 2 months for the leather to start stacking on my 60mm pair so if i had to geuss it would take maybe 3 months for it to properly stalk and mold onto your feet on the 30mm pair (i wear then about 2-3 times a week)).Over all camel is better for longevity but with a longer and tougher break-in-period. Great video thanks.
no i think you're right that the quality could be better for this price - even tho i own a pair of tabis with the lucite/clear heels (2013? i believe). like saint laurent is also a conglomerate owned brand (under kering, not OTB like margiela tho) but as far as i know, in 2017 or so slp switched to goodyear welting their wyatt boots so its not glued on.
The quality looks really bad, made for people who don't know what makes a quality leather boot. You say this too so I'm not critiquing your video or anything.
Great video man, really comprehensive
🤍🤍
A shoe maker can easily put a zipper into those and for cheap
def gonna look into that, thank youuuu
