In the 1910s, the curvy high heeled shoe was the mode, with complex cut outs, detailed decorations, and severe angles. Some of the styles look nearly impossible to wear, let alone make! Yantorny was at the fore-front of curvy shoes with styles that had rounded insteps and sloping arches. Numerous other shoe brands copied the shape and applied their own twist. In the end even the simplest of black pumps were a sculptural masterpiece.
So how were these shoes made? How did they get their shape? And most importantly, could they actually be worn comfortably? I'm delving into the construction of shoes of the 1910s to help answer all of these questions. While mass produced shoemaking has changed drastically in the last 100 years, making a pair of shoes by hand is still a skill and art that has survived the passage of time.

@wrentherainfalls2925 3 года назад

@@LilyNionPrivate some of the most comfortable high heels i’ve worn! I’m quite the shoe collector too! The heel isn’t pinchy or hard but still supportive, and the high heel sits directly under the center of your heel (I hope that wasn’t too confusing😖) as for overall comfort: very comfy! For high heels that is, but trust me I have nerve pain in the soles of my feet and I can wear them with no issue. If you’re going to get them but still a bit worried, i have a trick where i’ll buy a size up and then put a insole in for extra comfort, but I didn’t do that this time.

19:30 this is actually how pointe shoes for ballet are still made today! Hand turned with multiple layers of paste glue, cardboard and felt (I believe) that are then baked in an oven to set the glue!

@anonymousperson4214 3 года назад

Not all of them have felt (my Grishko's didn't) but there is a lot of cardboard and canvas and animal glues in there! That is why (gently) baking them can give them a few hours more life, it sorta re-melts the glue and it works into the cardboards and then hardens in a more cohesive shape. Smells horrible though. It's pretty easy to tell which animals the glue came from when it's warm 😬

nicole, not only do your videos have the absolute best unintentional asmr, but i get so engrossed watching you create. its cool enough to watch people creating clothing from draping on a form. i hope to learn that one day. but watching someone create a shoe last and build their own shoes that look historically correct?? that's just beyond awesome! so many arts have been lost to manufacturing and foreign workers. i was a soap maker for 20 years. we sold at craft shows. people who appreciated the art that went into creating a really good and pretty bar of soap had no problem paying our prices, but the ones who are accustomed to shopping at walmart and buying $1 bars of soap, yeah, we heard their comments and they were not our customers. i just wanted to say how i really enjoy watching these nearly lost arts still being held on to in the 21st century.

@daxxydog5777 3 года назад

Those are gorgeous! Watching you make shoes reminds me of my cobbler grandfather making handmade shoes for people with deformed feet and built-up shoes for polio victims who had one leg shorter than the other. They needed the height difference corrected so they could walk more normally. I’m sure all his old equipment went to the junkyard and that makes me sad. For several years after he died, people would knock on the door looking for him because no one else in town could make their shoes. This is truly a lost art you are continuing, Nicole!

@Mark-hf6uf 3 года назад

These shoes look incredible! And shoemaking is such a fascinating skill to watch :) Do you know when the next part of the 1920s man's suit is coming out? I can't wait to see the rest! (And I plan to try to do one for myself)

@k80_ 3 года назад

I taught myself some basic shoemaking in order to replace the saddle stitching on my cowboy boots, your shoemaking videos aren’t related skills wise but they really showed me that this was something i would be able to do myself and it made the process a lot less scary. Anyway it took me like 10 hours, 20 feet of thread and 3 broken needles to unpick, reglue and stitch this pair of boots. But I’m so glad I did it, it’s amazing to learn a new skill and immediately apply it to your own life! (And I dare say the job I did is better than the original stitching)

exquisitely , perfectly wonderful. the sharp scissors, the knives, the amazing tool for working on the last with the tacks, I just love watching your shoe making vids. General curiosity questions: You know how leather shoes stretch and shape with wear, how do yours do generally? since you make the last as close to your foot already, does that pre-stretch most of that for you? do the shoes get too stretched over time?

@tjs114 3 года назад

You could, theoretically, soak your wood last in a polymer to give it a longer lifespan; but maybe easier would be making a plaster of paris form and then 'pouring' a polymer/sawdust casting. For your sander, get your shop vac and just make a coat hanger bracket to hold the hose near the baseplate and just turn it on. Or, use a bit of PVC and pipe hangers to make a permanent mount on the baseplate that you 'plug' your vacuum hose into. It will probably suck up 90 percent of the flying sawdust and cut down on those annoying 'clogs.' Learned that years and years ago building a kit car in the garage and dealing with fiberglass and filler dust.

@meredith7299 3 года назад

There's something really beautiful about seeing how the leather eases over the last. It makes me think of the kid leather ballet flat slippers I used to wear when I was taking ballet classes. In a way I think I've been looking all my life for shoes that fit me as well as those buttery split-sole ballet flats did. There was something so intimately *mine* about them because they mold to your feet, and there's a sense of gratitude to them for the art they allow you to engage in, as well. But nothing will ever fit exactly the way they do, and that's kind of the very specific nature of a ballet slipper, you know? A good pair is like a second skin. But watching the toe of the upper on these shoes stretch down and sort of tuck into the area where the sole will cover them is so, so satisfying!

Just FYI, if I might, cover the liner and the last with baby powder before you last it and it makes removal much easier at the end. Also, I mist the liner and upper with warm water in spray bottle before the first lasting, let it dry overnight before you remove nails.. it conforms beautifully this way to complex shapes. They came out beautiful!
