I've worked in the leather industry all my life, designing different finishes for leather. It's great to see you working with the product and keeping the old techniques and skills alive when it comes to making handmade shoes. Thanks for posting guys !
brother after watching the video i just called my 12 year old son and told him the same, to stope watching stupid thing on tv and watch something like this to learn to apreciatte and respect other people 's work,
More productive but making barely enough to live on., My friends dad worked in Saville Row as a seamstress . In the end he went self-employed and made more doing adjustments for customers at the local launderette which was a huge chunk of his business!
Wonderful !! The fact that seeing this is so pleasing; it makes you wanna start shoe making This is more of an artistic thing than just the making of a shoe It's just wonderful !
Both of my grandparents had a talent in their hands even my parents so I got it as well. When I see things like this it warms my heart and I feel nothing but so much respect. what an amazing piece of art!
That is one diabolical way of crafting a pair of shoes.. wow! I love 95% of it and I think some parts weren’t shown, such as stitching the two outsoles together. That is ingenious , I’ll give you that. Wow !
Блядь, ну что за народ такой???? Быдломенталитет так и прёт со всех щелей. Со Славой соглашусь. Хоть бы раз протереть пыль, со своих туфлей. А видос просто шикарный, но недостаточно шикарный как сами туфли.
There's a great sense of satisfaction in creating things with your hands. I know as I'm an artist and auto modifier myself. Along with that, lots of people will appreciate and recognize what you do.
@rats arsed You could work in a ventilated area. Besides, people do other intentional harm to them selves such as smoke or take drugs to mention two that are far more hazardous for no real reason.
I bought my best pair of shoes in Napoli some 8 years ago for just 100€. And that was an amazing bargain. Elegant full leather shoes that every single day I wear them feel 100%. Making a pair of excellent shoes is an art in itself. Thanks for posting this video.
This is why I prefer to have even just two shoes like those, instead of a dozen of sneakers. An this not only because of style, but also for sustainability and supporting human economy.
Supporting human economy? These people make more money than those factory worker. While these only benefit one person, buying factory product gonna spp multiple worker and give multiple people more jobs. I'm not against this, I would buy from this kind of handcrafted product too. But ur reasoning is wrong(unless i miss sth here).
@@prumchhangsreng979 factory workers hardly make a good wage. Such as nike workers. You aren’t supporting them you are supporting the business and their terrible practices
I will never be able to afford a pair of such shoes but I really appreciate the sheer level of skill and craftmanship that goes into their production. What amazing artisans.
I somehow feel obligated to add some context: This video is quite misleading. Those shoes are more akin to cheap, factory made shoes even if the video is making it look like high quality handmade shoes. Such shoes are usually made in factories, and they change hands very often. Only true bespoke shoes are made by only ONE PERSON and don't change hands in the process. Those shoes are propably worth 80-100$ at best, maybe less considering they are made in Turkey. Even Lloyd, a german made brand is mostly just 200$, and sometimes you even get a blake stitched construction. They also look better. Even if they are made by hand: the construction method cemented, only using glue. That one stitch on the side does not add to durability and does not justify the price of about 500$(!). For 500 bucks you almost get a pair of goodyear welted Gaziano and Girling, and those are top notch shoes, made in england. If you want to see how a really great artisan bespoke shoemaker works: check out ibrahim demir, he has a great video on YT.
Considering they're handmade, the prices on their website aren't actually that bad, The pair of shoes being made in this video are $516.17 USD with free shipping. I'm considering a pair of their boots.
If more people got into professions like this instead of going to college for liberal arts degrees and social economics the world would be a happier place. Nothing is better than perfecting an art and creating something amazing with you're own 2 hands.
I'm perfectly happy with my 50 dollar fila sneakers but I can see where being rich might make me wanna buy these beautiful shoes . Until the day (if it ever comes) that I have money I dont know what yo do with I shall wear my 50 dollar sneakers proud
Bashir Hamwi 350 dollars on something that's literally being walked on day in and day out to me personally is outrageous. And on the note of the "yeezys" if they cost twice this then I'm in disgust at what people spend their money on
That's probably because you don't really care much about craftsmanship, time, effort and passion put into things made by hand. Today's society is filled with disposable items. like most sneaker made by machine. Owning a good pair of shoes will last you 10, 20+ years if you take care of them. You can resole these types of shoes after the bottoms have worn out, while most other shoes are disposable. I know you don't care about the art of shoe making by hand, but I sure hell do. I'll much rather give my money to a guy who works hours on a shoe, puts effort and time on something that person is proud of making, than to pay $50 to a giant company who makes millions of pairs of the same shoe, with workers who are probably getting payed a dollar or two an hour (China).
That a robot it doesn't makes the same!!!! Opere d'arte senza tempo e senza prezzo. Fantastico video. Ottimo lavoro, gli artigiani di valore inestimabile.
nevermind. How are you supposed to resole shoes constructed this way? There is no welt, sole is stitched straight to the upper. I hardly can imagine that upper can survive at least one resoling.
dyogga да не в том же суть, на что. такие конструкции (клееные) не подразумевают замены подошвы. или постоянно шлёпать профилактику, или выбросить через пару сезонов. немного не то, чего ожидаешь от обуви за 500+$
How dumb can you get? Can you not see all the other tools "huh"? The workers are putting a ton of hard work into making the shoe. Don't underestimate their skill and keep your fat ego to yourself.
All, let's please be nice and polite to everyone here. We do not moderate comments because we want our customers to discuss our shoes freely. We appreciate your cooperation.
This video shows the potential humans have and how we keep losing skills as we advance in technology our kids do not explore anymore they rely on tablets, videogames and phones, they dont know what a vhs or cd or cassette is... Lazy minds brain is damaged no creativity anymore, really sad... I will buy a pair of shoes just for supporting this type of business.
Exactly! Think of all those things he was doing to the shoe; he made it look effortless but the rubbing he was doing with that blunt instrument and the flaming at the end, one can only imagine the generations of shoemakers, from the middle ages onwards, who have passed down their tricks of the trade to make that piece of art is something truly being lost to technology.
alistair lee I got laughed at the other day by some ignorant dipshits after they found out I was a blacksmith apprentice. Making medieval armor as a living? Sign me up! Everyone’s so materialistic and caught up in trying to get the new shiny thing, sad really.
I guess if they really take a mold of your actual foot and do all the leather by hand, I'd pay $1000. But I'd only use shoes on hot dates, job interviews, and big speeches LOL!
SOY SAPATERO, Y ME HACE SENTIR MUUUYYYY FELIZ, VER ESTOS ARTISTAS DEL SAPATO" FATTO A MANO" TRABAJANDO.!!!! muchas gracias a quien posto.!! Oscar Massa-
Scott's Corner of Fun and Exploration The name they used. Maglieria (textile) is Italian. Pelle (leather) is Italian. They put the two names together to form Maglieriapelle.
Maglieriapelle ® is derived from "woven leather" in Italian. We have a storied history of handcrafting premium leather shoes and proudly serve the apparel needs of men who appreciate originality, creativity and a profound sense of achievement. Today's retail landscape offers a variety of choices when buying men's leather shoes - from a local boutique to popular global brands. In our opinion though, most manufacturers and shoe retailers leave a lot to be desired when it comes to quality, craftsmanship and value. Every day, cheaply made shoes are offered at exorbitant margins to the end customer. We believe that there has to be a better way to offer custom well-made, comfortable and affordable men's shoes. The affordability part is relatively easy - sell directly to the customers and cut out the middle layers. But how to offer the best quality? That's where we blow away the competition. We prefer to craft our shoes the old fashioned way - by hand, one shoe at a time. Our creative process incorporates a customer-focused approach and involves countless hours imagining, designing and iterating each shoe, obsessing over every detail. Crafted with the finest quality materials using responsible and ethical manufacturing processes, our skilled artisans pour their heart and soul into making each pair. From leather to laces, our designs, hand-sewn construction and unique hand-painting provide you an experience to own and enjoy the best handmade shoes for years to come. The best part? With our refined processes and lower costs, we are able to pass on the savings to our customers. We confidently call each pair a piece of art and hope to see you wearing them in the near future. A glimpse at the meticulous process involving a labyrinth of steps and long man-hours to handcraft one shoe at a time:
Onur Eltutmaz nobody doubts about craftmanship and quality here. It’s about using a name that recalls Italian craftmanship. Like it happens MANY time with many different products. That’s wrong. Legal but wrong. This is just my personal opinion, of course, and I’ll respect others’.
