Making handmade hiking shoes - Making leather shoes 

How to learn this art?

My jaw dropped, how much respect I have for this profession. Truly a master. This video is for those who ask: why do handmade shoes cost so much? Here is the answer. I really enjoyed watching this video.

As a retired hand crafting shoe maker i apreciate your skills , great work , very good technique ,

I'm an Orthotic & Prosthetic Practitioner and I bet u could use the same software we use to 3D scan patient's feet/ankles with our phone rather than cast them. Saved us tons no longer having to pay for casting supplies. Saves me a lot of time, too!

This is unbelievable. I've watched you make a water tight wooden bucket with no glue or metal fixturing, a composite bow from animal sinew, wood, and a water buffalo horn, and now a hand made pair of boots? Crazy skills. I watched this one last and the whole time was telling myself, "If he casts the treaded part of the boot himself I'm going to lose my mind." You saved my mind, but it wouldn't have surprised me if you had cast it. You have an amazing array of high craftsmanship skills like nothing I've ever seen.

Oops, wrong color . I'll take them. Wow what a video. Master Shoemaker.

How on earth is this a hobby?! Wow. Incredible. Thank you for such a detailed video.

I always got that shoemaking was highly skilled but to actually watch the entire process was awe inspiring. The tools of the trade alone are mind boggling.

Как раз на днях хотел искать видео "Как сделать обувь из кожи самому", и случайно наткнулся на это видео. И скажу честно-что то расхотелось делать самому😂. А мастеру ставлю отлично 👍 Это просто не передать словами как всё чётко он сделал. Были бы здесь такие мастера.

Taką piękną rzemieślniczą robotę szewską widziałem ostatni raz w 1968 roku w Szczecinie,ulica Strzałowska(Polska) Byłem wtedy małym chłopcem,ale pamiętam zręczność starego przedwojennego szewca.Tego małego warsztatu szewskiego już nie ma, chociaż pomieszczenie zostało,tak jak i dziewiętnastowieczna kamienica.Pamiętam tylko jak skórzane spody wzmacniał albo łączył warstwy cienkimi drewnianymi ćwiekami moczonymi w jakiejś ciemnej smolistej substancji. Piękne wspomnienia🤔 Pozdrawiam

I'm in awe. The fact that you're self taught from watching RU-vid videos is so inspiring. Way to go Andi! I can't wait for your next video!

I did my time in a shoe factory in the 80's, I could smell every process in this video! Nice one.

Великолепная работа! О таких мастерах и говорят, "золотые руки". Интересно какое изделие станет темой следующего видео. Нет сомнений, это будет также круто 👍

Смотрел ролик не отрываясь. Работа мастера захватывает. Я родом из Якутии, и мой отец - заядлый охотник, сам шил себе обувь для охоты зимой, конечно не такую красивую и сложную в изготовлении как у вас, но очень легкую и теплую, чтобы не испытывать дискомфорта в -50°С. Некоторым навыкам научил и меня, так что всё это очень знакомо мне и немного грустно, так как отца недавно не стало.

You are meticulous and precise, both your process and the final result are beautiful to watch. You have my respect, thank you for sharing your work with us!

Quand je vois ce genre de vidéo, ça me fascine énormément et me rend compte à quel point les gens peuvent être si talentueux. C'est dommage que c'est rare ce genre d'occupation. Je travaille dans le logiciel depuis au moins 35 ans. Je réalise qu'après toutes ces années, je n'ai rien produit de "tangible", tel que de pouvoir montrer à quelqu'un une paire de botte dont le créateur peut être fier. Bravo.

Absolutely superb craftsmanship, as a shoemaker myself I really appreciate the effort that goes into making bespoke footwear.

Очень крутая сборка обуви !!! Особенно мне понравилось крепление и сборка подошвы к верху обуви!!! Не люблю когда в обувь забивают много гвоздей и прошивают насквозь с протектором!

Приятно видеть работу мастера.

Absolutely amazing work man! This is why youtube is so amazing! We wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

Allergrößten Respekt - sowohl für den Schuh, als auch für den "Clip"! 👏

You are mesmerizing to watch. I love all the detail and the different materials you’re using, great job.

Master class. People who do this are national treasures.

Просто ---шедевр. Мастеру браво.

Awesome. When I first came to this country decades ago, my dad took me to a cobbler to have a pair of leather boots made. Back then, we had tailors, cobblers, people who made travel bags. They are all gone now replaced by department stores like everywhere else. The boots needed almost no break-in as they were custom made to the shape of my feet. Sadly I no longer have the boots but I remember the cobbler telling me to bring them back if I ever had any problems with them. I was too young to appreciate his skills then. But with the years and watching you create those molds, and making the boots from them, I am just in awe. Bravo!

I've seen multiple videos on shoe making, had a crack or two at making shoes myself but yours gives do much information, amazing job.

Wow! I’ve never seen this “belt and suspenders” combination of a hand-stitched storm welt AND stitch-out construction. Impressive!

Amazing job, and those blades are very well sharpened. Such skills will definitely be needed in the future after society has collapsed. I can't imagine what it would take to reverse engineer such a craft if you had to start from scratch.

Sometime its like sculpting in leather, fantastic work!!!

Im mesmerized. Your work is amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing it

Brilliant, thank you for this awesome work of art ❤

This video defines the phrase well: "Do your best in the condition you have, while you don't have better conditions to do even better." Wonderful and excellent, thank you very much for sharing with us.

Carbon spring amazing, lots of techniques shown, most impressive

People who make shoes are awesome artists! 🎉

Ничего себе работа ! Мастер-золотые руки ! О такой обуви только мечтать. Конечно,не каждому по карману.

Wow is just outstanding. The epitome of craftsmanship.

The pride you take in your craft/art is outstanding😳. Thank you for sharing what you do… truly amazing!

Absolutely love the craftsmanship and the tools used especially the leather finger rings to tighten the stitching. Beautiful to watch

This is a work of art! Watching this at work and my colleague was beside me admiring your work and thinking what it takes to make this type pf work when your competition is the industry. Truly sparked a whole conversation.

Amazing videos can’t wait to see more from you!

Absolutely love & appreciate this work of Art 🖼️ ❤

Voila une chaussure avec un montage traditionnel dans les régles absolue de l'art! Bravo!

золотые руки у мастера....и голова светлая

Craftsmanship that's definitely worth the wait in shoes that are built to last!👍😎🍻

Incredible job! Super customized. Really awesome.

Beautifully done. Thank you!

Wow, absolut fantastisch, nicht nur das sie hervorragend mit Holz umgehen können, nein, jetzt zeigen sie auch noch das sie den besten Schuhmachern die größte Konkurrenz sind. Hut ab vor soviel Talent und Hingabe!

Insane amount of craftsmanship! Wow

Genuine 100% handmade. Excellent art.

A masterpiece made by a Maestro! 💯🔥😘👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾

Hermanito tu eres un verdadero artista, estoy con la boca abierta. Pocos como tu. Gracias por dejar ver tu arte.

Don’t know if it’s because I prefer casual to formal but this is my favourite video so far, amazing skills mate.

Bespoke shoemaking is a form of art, indeed

Love from INDIA ❤

Bravo; brilliant; congratulations from Caldera-Chile... to the South of the world!

Simplesmente perfeito, fico imaginando que honra e que privilégio estes sujeitos tem de usar uma obra prima dessas nos pés deste talentoso artesão, parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!

Wow, what a process! I bet shoes made with that much care are a dream to wear.

That foam last / taking shape of customer's foot is a brilliant idea.

Those look amazing! Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Practice makes perfect, but some people proves that for some jobs you have to be born with a specific talent, especially when it comes to art... respect for both dedication and talent.

True craftsmanship 👏👏👏👏

wow. incredible and wild. i would have never thought this was the process to make a handmade shoe lol. Amazing!

It's hypnotic that hand-make process

Nice work. Can you tell me what you use for the soles? And what kind of polyurethane foam do you use for the lasts? Thanks in advance.

Nice work young man. Talent is in your blood for sure.

Идеальное ремесло! Отличные ботинки! Мастеру большое уважение! Молодец!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Amazing, the most beautiful pair of mountain boots that I have seen in a long time. I had a pair custom made by my late uncle who worked in Wengen, Switzerland making these type of boots.

One of those talents that some people have you can practice as much you want but if’s you don’t visualize exactly what and how you want this it will never happen excellent brilliant creativity

All coblers have their own techniques that are worth knowing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

What beautiful art, and what an expert you are. spectacular.

When they see this channel. Your gonna blow up. Beautiful work

Beautiful! Those will last an absolute lifetime

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. Thanks for sharing

Wow! Perfect shoes!

Norwegian welt, that's how I do it too! I attach the upper differently though. I make a gemming out of canvas and sew it to the insole, then the upper and welt stitch to that. Great job, they're sweet boots!

Great job. you're an artist ..Greetings from my country Algeria 🇩 🇿 🇩🇿

Incredible craftsmanship.

This is the kind of process i need for my shoes. Great work

All I can say is you're an amazing craftsman, job well done

I’ve watched all three of your videos and all are amazing examples of craftsmanship. What can’t you do?

However much they cost, after watching how there're made they're worth every penny. They'd be a pleasure to wear and walk in.

AWESOME WORK.....😁👌👍

Man, You are one talented Bloke!

Perfection. Master art of handicraft.

Who's watching this at 3AM?

This is what separates from Mass Produce to Quality Made hand craft ❤❤❤

Wow incredibly. I really want to buy hiking shoes now. Preferably made by you. Great Craftsmanship and video, wow!
