Hello I'm in South Africa Cape Town I would like to know what ur price of ur boots

Hello price please

Hello! How can I contact the production manager?

How much do you think a pair of boots like that go for? Is there anything comparable in the western US?

@@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.

I bet a pair of these are like a Lamborghini for your feet.

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

Likewise I did however speed it up.

look up Lee Miller cowboy boots. He goes 10 times deeper, at least, than this production.

My thoughts exactly

I am with you, @Razorel. I would love a pair. ;-)

Same here

Same, lol... Very hypnotizing. Now I want a pair

Yeah. Me three. This was a calming break from the political apocalyptic nonsense. It's nice to know there's still beauty in this world.

I was thinking the same. I have a really hard time finding leather shoes that are comfortable. I would gladly pay these guys for a pair.

Yes

@@azynkron jk boots

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?

what do you mean stitch out construction without a stitcher, isn't this the usual Goodyear welt?

Do you make custom hiking boots? I have been looking for a pair but can’t seem to find any in the States.

@@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.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 I'm not seeing any slave labor conditions in this video.

see how old they are? they pretty much spent their whole life making shoes off course they posses incredible precision and skill.

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 Most of their stuff is automated in a factory, with only things such as the stitching which is done manually

Pfff

@@TheDogGoesWoof69 nike didn't do slave labour but the cost of labour is really low. They also had a stint of doing child labour so not that much better. However, the ones you see on shelves are mass produced. They basically have it all automated by machine and some parts are still done by hand, but 90% is done by machine. you can watch vans production video off youtube. just search it.

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.

its more efficient to get custom inserts tbh.

@@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. . .

В года ВОВ, за Уралом, мой многодетный дед не был взят на фронт и сел продолжать делать сапоги из кожи. Вся деревня носила ему кожу, какая была, какую кто раздобыл, в том числе и меха. Местные оставшиеся, из числа охотников, приносили шкуры волков, лис, выдры, медведя, оленя. Все шло на утепление обуви. Он обучил этому ремесленному делу детей-подростков. Вместе они выпускали много обуви и вся обувь отправлялась на фронт.

Интересно, почем пара таких черевичек?

The man used spray paint... Unsurpassed my ass

​@@AmericanBusinessman422sending you some love. You seem to need it a bit :) Its not paint, is polish. Activate the CC, it exlains ;)

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 knew an ex-cobbler, who complained that most shoes are not even repairable these days.

Yes, they can be resoled. A pair of boots like this can last you a lifetime.

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.

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.

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
