I don't usually write comments, and I don't usually watch 30 minute videos. I also have no interest in shoes or shoemaking. However, I watched the entire thing without pause. Simply a work of art!
Question so with the application this shoe is made for would you have also used nails in the heel ? Or is the glue and stitches enough to hold that together?
@@toobalkain forgive any inaccuracies as i am not a shoemaker. See the videos by Siroeno Yosui, he does incredible goodyear shoes with a blind stitch. The goodyear has a seperate leather welt stitched to the midsole and through the upper. The outsole is then stitched to the welt. The stitch-down construction here has the welt ibeing the splayed out upper. I don't know whether either is particularly stronger per se. Goodyears like that done by Yosui seem much more time consuming than the boots made here. EIther way its awesome stuff.
I'm a third generation shoe retailer and repairer. This is the first time I've seen a stitch-down welt with the extra layer of a "fake welt" reinforcement above the out-turned leather uppers. Danner uses a lot of stitch-down construction, for instance, but they just use the outward turned leather vamp leather as the welt. I'm also stunned they completely sew the outsole to the welt by hand. I can't imagine a more hand-crafted boot than these guys make.
@@toddkawana7171 Limmer in New Hampshire makes custom hiking boots and they also have an "off the shelf" line with their specs but made in Germany by Meindl cost for the off the shelf runs 400-500 usd imo they are worth it...all leather except for the outsole. Also their are boot and shoe makers in the pnw mainly Seattle who make custom and handmade boots...Whites, Franks, Nicks and JK boots. Their is a maker in BC Canada as well but I forget the name.
Hello, thanks for your comment, very enlighting on the matter. I wanted to ask you something, related to the use of membranes (Gore, event, etc) in leather shoes. I'm mountain guide since 2010 and I've been using boots since i was 4, through all the boyscout era and so on, and I always experienced the same problem with membrane+leather boots: it always ends up leaking hard, and after this happens it never dries during a route. Specially in snow environment it's awful. I've been 15 days in Norway with the best and most expensive Perwanger reinforced boots i found in the market (not gonna say the brand for respect), and from the third day I was wet. And its not bad luck. Thst was the turning point. Then, I started to use non leather boots, basically Kevlar, Schoeller and similar outer shells, and that was a revelation for me. Never again wet feet. Its true they need more reinforcement in the sides but yet they're super light and flexible, still last a lot, and they don't leak at all. So i stopped using leather+membrane shoes. Then I gave a try to a only leather boot pair, but greased them up as I heard that was the old times solution, and it worked. As my feet don't sweat too much, and i use the best wool and silk socks i can find, and actually they work great too, yet i use them for heavy duty, not for trekking. Therefore, I arrived to the conclusion that putting a membrane to a leather shoe is a marketing mistake. It's no sense, as a membrane cannot breath trough a soaked piece of leather glued to it, and it just becomes a water bridge. However, synthetic materials don't soak as leather, and they just let the membrane breathe while protecting it from harms (as intended). Can you relate to this? Thank you a lot and sorry for long comment.
In my over 4 decades of selling (and repairing) boots I've seen the membrane type boots proliferate. They most definitely do not breathe as well as straight leather I'd say. If you can find waterproof sealed seam (they have a line on the backside wherever sewn of something called silastic adhesive to seal stitch holes) constructed boots like the Wolverine WO3226 they breathe much better. After Gore-Tex came off patent the whole internal waterproof bootie thing ran amok. Some generic booties don't even actually work and all can trap moisture between the leather and the membrane. Corura and Kevlar woven upper boots actually breathe better than internal bootie boots. The reason they repel water is that they have a felt based hydrophobic backing and used the sealed seam construction where the textile uppers are sewn. The negative side is now days if you can find these they often also use a membrane bootie liner as well. They don't really have to have it save for it's a marketing thing. The best one I sold is long since discontinued by Rocky Boot Company.@@bassegoder
I watched one where same people made a pair of brown boots. My wife just walked in and said haven't you watched this already? I said nope, this one is a pair of black boots.

I don't do enough hiking to justify getting custom-fit boots; but having done multi-day hikes, I know the value of having high quality footwear that fits. It's good to know there are still artisans out there making footwear of this quality. The people who buy these boots must have some amazing adventures! :)
I don't wear hiking boots. But I appreciate well-made good-fitting work boots. I've got to wear them almost every day, 40-50 hour weeks. While standing on hard concrete, sometimes in heavy rain puddles, often pushing and pulling and lifting and carrying objects which weigh almost as much as I do. A lot of load on my feet. Cheap boots and bad boots will usually still last months. But paying extra for quality boots really adds a lot to your comfort, attitude, and energy during and after days of work. People in construction, manufacturing, or industry who have junk boots are new and inexperienced, or just can't afford better, or simply don't do any real work.
@@pwnmeisterageI work in the oil and gas field, out on production sites. Constant walking back and forth with steel toes has torn up my big and little toes. I wear some non compliant boots whenever I can get away with it because my feet get so swollen from all the walking. Know any good manufacturers that do women’s sizes?
@@angelinimartini I've heard your complaint from several women I've worked with. Apparently women's work boots suck, or just have limited options which aren't the best for everybody. They look cute and feminine but they don't look comfortable. (I don't know firsthand since I don't wear women's boots, lol.) I guess it's a market opportunity for boot makers? If "one size fits most" doesn't fit you then you might have to have custom-fit boots made for you. I think it's worth paying the $$-$$$ extra for comfort and happiness. Good fit, no sore feet at the end of the day, no limpy pain, no blisters, no chafing. Other people think it's not worth spending more, I guess saving/spending the money for other things makes them happy.
@@angelinimartini In Germany I would recommend Engelbert&Strauss. I have work shoes from them that I could wear for a hike at any time. Super comfortable. Just a bit worn in the meantime. . .
At times I wanted to skip forward but that’s the crazy thing about this video. The attention to detail in the craftsmanship is captivating. It was also interesting how everything looked a little messy but it just simply flowed into each of the team members making this great looking footwear that looks like it’ll last for generations if taken care of. Hell it looks like you could even take it to a cobbler to get re-soled if needed

These shoemakers are truly artists at their craft. Amazing to see a work in progress from start to finish. I was absolutely captivated throughout the video. Thank you for sharing this! These guys are obviously the best at what they do. Simply Awesome!!!
honestly, when the craftsmen are that old and experienced, a 10 year head start may not even make that much of a difference. it's the retention that lets them hone their craft for so long that really impresses me. it takes a manager who really cares about supporting the team to do their best work long term, and people in society who really value both the craft and the sports that the craft supports. stuff like this isn't possible without support from all levels
@@user-gz4ve8mw9l Yes an 80 year old can learn to fly a jet while dancing with tremors and a newborn can learn to swim. You just gotta toss him into a pool.
I know nothing of shoe making but this process was fascinating to me. You must be an avid keen hiker to want a pair of custom made boots that would I’m sure be pretty darned expensive, though I don’t doubt they are worth every penny ❤
This was incrediblye It felt like it landed in that sweet spot of experts making shoes in an efficient way, without going too cheap or too excessive. That last step, of stitching the sole, looks like a really tough job. I'd love a shoe like this, that fits my arch and has a toe box that actually has space for all of my toes, unlike most commercial shoes that seem to want to squeeze my pinky into the rest of my foot. I wonder how these are to break in, and how they feel after a month or two. Must be amazing.
Try Ozark trail they are high quality and pretty cheap too , Walmart sells them I've had the same issue with my pinky toes also it's because your buying too small of a size I know you may be convinced that it's a perfect fit when you buy the shoe but over time the Pinky's feel the pain try buying a size up from now on it's working for me so far has gotten rid of some pain in my feet as well. But yeah Ozark trail is one of the best in my opinion I've been wearing a pair of their steal toes for about 5 months now and they are great I do have some insoles in them though
This was amazing to watch. Thank you very much for sharing. 6:13 Loved to see the insole maker and final assembler, the oldest guy, with a picture of his dream car on his bench. Hope he gets it some day!
It's unlikely I could ever afford something like these gorgeous boots. It looks like those boots will outlast the client! But a man can dream... thank you for the video. It's so nice to see that shops like this still exist!
If you live in the US or UK it’s actually not too expensive to have some custom insoles made and have your favorite boots resoled. It won’t be the same, but it will cost a lot less and the comfort and durability will be way better than standard boots. My brother in law is an electrical lineman and discovered that life hack from one of the old guys. If you have a boot you like and want extra comfort and durability… find a cobbler and have them upgraded. It will be worth it because you won’t need boots or anything for years after that.
They seem to be around 500 bucks. Though I assume a lot of that cost is you paying for the name and to have it custom made for you which is honestly more worth it than whatever it's made from.
I used to buy a pair of cheap shoes every 3-6 months, but 2 years ago I splurged and got a pair of handmade hiking boots and they are still as new and I'm sure they'll last many more years. You save in the long run.

I didn't know a pair of hiking boots goes through so many different steps until it reaches its the final form. I now have so much respect for these artisan shoe masters.
As an IT guy I'm getting nervous when I don't have the chance to ctrl-Z out of a sticky situation. The fact that it's even possible to build a boot that way is just amazing to me. Making a perfect pair like these is nothing short of a miracle!
I guess they are factory made in multiple sizes. And the extracting part seems fairly easy, as they aren’t glued nor nailed to the shoe (all nails are removed).
lasts were initially handcarved from wood. Copies were made from resin. If you notice, there are bolts in the heel of the last, these can be screwed onto and used to leverage the last from the finished shoe.

It's truly inspiring to see the passion and dedication these shoemakers have for their craft. They are truly artists in every sense of the word. The final product is a testament to their hard work and talent. I would love to own a pair of these shoes!
I visited South Korea in the late 70's and had 2 pairs of custom boots made. I let my younger brother talk me out of my hiking boots after I got back to the states and the high top boots I got for hunting purposes turned out to be too warm for the climate I hunt. Putting those hiking boots onto my feet was like sticking my foot into a cloud. It was amazing how well they fit.
The skill, knowledge and determination of a true cobbler is amazing. I'd pay to have custom shoes made. Have had way to many issues with shoes off the shelf at these so called shoe stores.
This is my first time watching a 27 mimute long video without any skipping or speeding x1.5. This video is just amazing and I really wish the best luck for all the artisans there.
I'm a professional commenter on UA-cam, and this is the first time I've seen a stitch-down welt with an additional "fake welt" reinforcement above the out-turned leather uppers. I'm also amazed that they sew the outsole to the welt entirely by hand. I can't imagine a more hand-crafted boot than what these guys make. Thanks, Grandpa, for making us shoes, and please continue to stay in good health. I also noticed you were spraying the leather without a mask; please consider your health, as I want you to be with us for a long time. ❤❤ No copy pasta pls.
These are very nice, I love that you did this. It would be even nicer if at the end of these videos we had a group photo of everyone who contributed/worked on the final product.
It was really cool to see this process from beginning to end. All hand made. The attention to detail was amazing. And custom fitting. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.😊
I really enjoyed the skills of these craftsmen. They master their work and do it with all sincerity, dedication and love. I thank them for what they do. They will truly be a source of pride for their children and grandchildren.
It was a absolute pleasure 2 watch this video. The craftsmanship is extraordinary so great 2 c machines not doing all the work but talented workers crafting such stunning works of art we all can wear & enjoy. Thank u ever so much 4 sharing this w us all🙏❤️
@@reitairue2073 That was strange he made an insole from the plaster cast then later on he ground away the foot shape? We used the plater cast to make corrective insoles for medical purposes.
The level of craftsmanship in this video is astounding. It makes me want to go to Seoul and buy a pair of boots. Except that I probably couldn't afford them, since items of that quality tend to be pretty expensive.
Questing is only for what kind level of degree of temperature. Probably not for so low minus. Sole is not quite enough thick and it shoes have no fur at all.
I'd have to find out what exactly the is the price for a pair of boots, but from living in Seoul, I know that to make a custom fitted dress shirt costs not much more expensive than a price for a good shirt from a store shelf. The salesman are literally try to snatch you on a street and drag you into their store, when you walk by... And a shirt would be typically ready by morning. The cost of skilled physical labor is still surprisingly low in South Korea...
То,что делают в Корее:будь-то обувь,либо изделия из древесины,одежда-это непровзойдённое мастерство. Это можно смотреть часами и с удовольствием. Спасибо за видео. Это просто восторг!
I had no idea of the skill that went into making them. These men are true craftsmen! I don't imagine this craftsmanship would come cheap, but the price would be well worth the investment! They'd certainly last longer than a pair from WM! A very interesting video to be sure!

Agreed, one of the biggest downsides to industrialization is treating each human as a brick in the wall. I feel the same way about how houses should be made too.

These shoemakers are truly artists at their craft. Amazing to see a work in progress from start to finish. I was absolutely captivated throughout the video. Thank you for sharing this! These guys are obviously the best at what they do. Simply Awesome!!!
Absolute work of art. I can’t imagine the training it takes to do this. I bet these guys are taught this skill a very young age.
honestly, when the craftsmen are that old and experienced, a 10 year head start may not even make that much of a difference. it's the retention that lets them hone their craft for so long that really impresses me. it takes a manager who really cares about supporting the team to do their best work long term, and people in society who really value both the craft and the sports that the craft supports. stuff like this isn't possible without support from all levels
One can learn anything at any age, its never to late to learn something new.

I know nothing of shoe making but this process was fascinating to me. You must be an avid keen hiker to want a pair of custom made boots that would I’m sure be pretty darned expensive, though I don’t doubt they are worth every penny ❤
its South Korea so probably $40 US
This was incrediblye It felt like it landed in that sweet spot of experts making shoes in an efficient way, without going too cheap or too excessive. That last step, of stitching the sole, looks like a really tough job. I'd love a shoe like this, that fits my arch and has a toe box that actually has space for all of my toes, unlike most commercial shoes that seem to want to squeeze my pinky into the rest of my foot. I wonder how these are to break in, and how they feel after a month or two. Must be amazing.
Try Ozark trail they are high quality and pretty cheap too , Walmart sells them I've had the same issue with my pinky toes also it's because your buying too small of a size I know you may be convinced that it's a perfect fit when you buy the shoe but over time the Pinky's feel the pain try buying a size up from now on it's working for me so far has gotten rid of some pain in my feet as well.
But yeah Ozark trail is one of the best in my opinion I've been wearing a pair of their steal toes for about 5 months now and they are great I do have some insoles in them though
magic, absolut magic
They probably require very little if anything to break in.
Try White's, Nicks or Frank's Boots, all of which are in Spokane, Wa. Custom boot manufacturers and it can all be done through the postal service.

It's unlikely I could ever afford something like these gorgeous boots. It looks like those boots will outlast the client! But a man can dream... thank you for the video. It's so nice to see that shops like this still exist!
If you live in the US or UK it’s actually not too expensive to have some custom insoles made and have your favorite boots resoled.
It won’t be the same, but it will cost a lot less and the comfort and durability will be way better than standard boots.
My brother in law is an electrical lineman and discovered that life hack from one of the old guys. If you have a boot you like and want extra comfort and durability… find a cobbler and have them upgraded. It will be worth it because you won’t need boots or anything for years after that.
Price in 2015 were $300 to $600. Not as crazy as I thought.
@@rockstardonut777 brb gonna send my foot to korea
They seem to be around 500 bucks. Though I assume a lot of that cost is you paying for the name and to have it custom made for you which is honestly more worth it than whatever it's made from.
I used to buy a pair of cheap shoes every 3-6 months, but 2 years ago I splurged and got a pair of handmade hiking boots and they are still as new and I'm sure they'll last many more years. You save in the long run.

Magnificent!! I wish I could have been issued a pair of boots with this quality back in the 90s in the USMC!!!
I didn't know a pair of hiking boots goes through so many different steps until it reaches its the final form. I now have so much respect for these artisan shoe masters.
🤯Браво!Браво!!!я восхищён!!!Привет Вам из России!
As an IT guy I'm getting nervous when I don't have the chance to ctrl-Z out of a sticky situation.
The fact that it's even possible to build a boot that way is just amazing to me. Making a perfect pair like these is nothing short of a miracle!
while watching the video, and having a computer job as well, I thought exactly that!
2 things were omitted: How the laths were made and how they were extracted from the Boot. I enjoyed watching the fine workmanship. Thank you, RTC
exactly what I was wondering.
And why no one else asks it?
Same. I kept seeing those nails tacked through the soles into the form and wondered how that was going to be handled.
I guess they are factory made in multiple sizes. And the extracting part seems fairly easy, as they aren’t glued nor nailed to the shoe (all nails are removed).
lasts were initially handcarved from wood. Copies were made from resin. If you notice, there are bolts in the heel of the last, these can be screwed onto and used to leverage the last from the finished shoe.
I can see why these are some of the most sought after boots in the mountain climbing community. Awesome craftsmanship.

I visited South Korea in the late 70's and had 2 pairs of custom boots made. I let my younger brother talk me out of my hiking boots after I got back to the states and the high top boots I got for hunting purposes turned out to be too warm for the climate I hunt. Putting those hiking boots onto my feet was like sticking my foot into a cloud. It was amazing how well they fit.

I'm a professional commenter on UA-cam, and this is the first time I've seen a stitch-down welt with an additional "fake welt" reinforcement above the out-turned leather uppers. I'm also amazed that they sew the outsole to the welt entirely by hand. I can't imagine a more hand-crafted boot than what these guys make.
Thanks, Grandpa, for making us shoes, and please continue to stay in good health. I also noticed you were spraying the leather without a mask; please consider your health, as I want you to be with us for a long time. ❤❤

Fine job! Thanks and greetings from Finland!
The level of craftsmanship in this video is astounding. It makes me want to go to Seoul and buy a pair of boots. Except that I probably couldn't afford them, since items of that quality tend to be pretty expensive.
Questing is only for what kind level of degree of temperature. Probably not for so low minus. Sole is not quite enough thick and it shoes have no fur at all.
I'd have to find out what exactly the is the price for a pair of boots, but from living in Seoul, I know that to make a custom fitted dress shirt costs not much more expensive than a price for a good shirt from a store shelf. The salesman are literally try to snatch you on a street and drag you into their store, when you walk by... And a shirt would be typically ready by morning.
The cost of skilled physical labor is still surprisingly low in South Korea...
Shit, high quality mountaineering boots like that are around 400 bucks even when they're not custom made.
