The video shows whats involved in making what is a fantastically beautiful pair of shoes. very clean, hand crafted, great aesthetic look. Gorgeous, really. These folks are artists.
Incredible craftsmanship. There seems to be so many stages to the process. It goes to show how talented and meticulous each individual is. I've a total new appreciation for this standard of luxury.
"They're the most comfortable shoes you'll ever own" according to my husband. Fell in love with the austro-Hungarian last and that each pair is fully handmade even at rtw(FYI their mto is the same price). Picked him up a pair and he keeps going back for more. Ever since Leather Soul and Leffot started carrying them back in the day, it's quit easy to find at all the great mens shops, and Phillips always doing trunk shows.

Okay the problem I keep running into is knowing what thickness the leather needs to be to resole my lizard skin boots, I don't have $500 to buy brand new ones so if someone could please tell me what the thickness of the leather needs to be for the sole I would greatly appreciate it.
if you guys really wanna see a masters of shoe makers, Leon, Guanajuato Mexico the capital of the world of shoe making and in all the Mexican Nation they are a very talent people making ancient shoes old style way
At 15:14, after the shoes are taken off the lasts, you can see the maker using a special tool to file the nails down before the lining insole is put in.
Yeah. And it would get scratched up, little dings in it. Which would take away from the look. Then again, it would hold up longer than leather. I probably wouldn't get it myself though. To each their own. I've never personally seen it on a dress shoe. Definitely unique. And the time and craftsmanship they put in these shoes is second to none. Amazing.
I am from "Montegranaro" (Italy)...the undisputed world's capital city of the shoe making....and also a passionate guitarist. Reading the TH-cam pages on "Guitar making, seems the luthiers are a "magicians".......MAKE a St. Crispin pair of shoes is the same...or better of make a "Ramirez" or Martin, or Gibson, or Fender Guitar.......
Well, you could buy shoes at a typical retailer - pay $50-150, and they'll last six months to a year if worn every day. Or, you could buy a pair of shoes with superior construction - such as these - that will cost, I don't know, $400-600? Yet, they will last upwards of five to seven years, if not longer, only to be rebuilt and refinished for the same price you'd pay for the shoes you could get at a typical retailer. Over ten years, you'll be paying $500 to ... $3000, given the above. With traditionally-made shoes, you'll pay the initial investment of $400-600 and a $100 resole after five or ten years. And this utilitarian illustration doesn't even touch on how nice they look.
Yeah. They don't even cover it, just in case. The precision these guys have is incredible. I don't think I could do it. Too scared go ruin the upper leather and starting from scratch.
+KenChiwo Pretty sure that's wrong. Google "saint crispin's shoes price" and you'll find plenty of their shoes between 1000-2000€. Even if those are made to measurements I doubt they'd quadruple the price. Still way too much for me though. Some day..
Their standard line cost around $1500US. Made to order is around $2500US-3000US however the pair in the video is a Bespoke pair i believe, which does cost double the MTO line.
nerfzinet I had a good conversation with a Saint Crispin's retailer about this. The difference between MTO and Bespoke is the last. MTO uses an already made last with some cork patches to give a more bespoke feel. However, bespoke is a completely new process to make a pair of shoes. Saint Crispin's does not have a last perfect for your feet, so thus they will draw and measure your feet and create a last perfect for your feet and will tweak it to meet any feet problems, a process that usually takes 3 months (that is why it cost more). Alos, there are trial stages wear they will give you your prototype shoes to wear for a month or so and then they .... A LOT OF WORK. www.saintcrispins.com/service/bespoke/
Love the craftsmanship in the video, but Holy Hell could the guitar playing be anymore boring/repetitive/just bad. Had to watch second half on mute cause music ruined it

De verdad estos si son unos zapatos artesanales, no tienen precio.
Isso é arte!
Artisans!
I feel so relax watching video, maybe it was the good music.
es un arte fabricar buenos zapatos y de piel
I want these 😊😊😊😊
donde los puedo comprar me gusta el modelo
They are 19 people making 1.200 pairs of shoes a year. Thats way they cost like 2.000 € but maybee that is with those holow blocks as well.
amo la calsture
cerco con laboratrio
No wonder handmade shoes cost you 1000 dollars. How much hard work and persisitance inside
the hardest part was kroon the nails perfect
Okay the problem I keep running into is knowing what thickness the leather needs to be to resole my lizard skin boots, I don't have $500 to buy brand new ones so if someone could please tell me what the thickness of the leather needs to be for the sole I would greatly appreciate it.
hello! i just wanna know what's the background music???
but are they comfortable?
if you guys really wanna see a masters of shoe makers, Leon, Guanajuato Mexico the capital of the world of shoe making and in all the Mexican Nation they are a very talent people making ancient shoes old style way
ok, seriously, where the hell do the nails go after they are nailed through the sole?
At 15:14, after the shoes are taken off the lasts, you can see the maker using a special tool to file the nails down before the lining insole is put in.
How long does it take to make a pair?
pero el que trabaja no tiene maquinaria, se luce con la maquinaria que no le pertenece, en lo que el jefe duerme..
buen trabajo, lo malo es que no es bien reconocido. el que trabaja cobra.!
Someone needs some guitar lessons.
+1971SuperLead and some drawing lessons she can't draw for shit.
How are the nails that attach the insole to the last removed?
you glue it down then you just pull out the nails
I figured it out. And then I made a shoe. It's ugly and the leather's too thin, but my lads are homemade. I'm going to try again with better leather.
Yee keep griniding and post pic's here. I'd be interested in seeing them!
Highly goregues shoes.
The hardest part was the sole
Sharp-looking shoe, but I'm not crazy about the metal tip in the sole. That could get noisy.
Yeah. And it would get scratched up, little dings in it. Which would take away from the look. Then again, it would hold up longer than leather. I probably wouldn't get it myself though. To each their own. I've never personally seen it on a dress shoe. Definitely unique. And the time and craftsmanship they put in these shoes is second to none. Amazing.
+Jay V After it gets scratched up and dinged, you can easily install another one with screws using a Philips screw driver.
To get that job you need to Have the most beautiful hands ever, and know how to do shoes
Are those at 9:52 wood nails??
wood pegs in the heel is typical
John Bierly Do you know where I can buy them online? (i live in Europe)
Scriba Ignoto do it yourself
birch or maple
WOW, apparently you can't make a shoe without a hammer, interesting.

Then you throw them after few wears

I completely agree. And they don't get the recognition like the guitar makers do. Yet, what they do is more tedious and difficult. True artists.
beautiful shoe.. too muh money doe

Kevin Keel Well, I didn't see that these started at $1300 - you can still find traditionally-made shoes for the $400-600.
Kevin Keel These shoes should not be worn in wet weather... Otherwise, the welt and sole will swell and lose their gloss.
most shoes don't do well in wet weather anyhow, though. Not unless they're fully synthetic (and prone to many other reliability issues).
Travers Alvirez
Am feeling too shy to wear this pair after all the hours of work it took...
never mind am just too poor to buy one
All right you've sucked me in. How much?
+Photo314159 From like $650-$1500 haha
+Oliver Zepha and no response! lol
Son of Everything DC & Marvel I'm saving for a condo. :D

SAINT CRISPIN'S MADE IN ITALY 1200 USD A SHOES
+ILIAS MY SON It's made in Spain (not Italy). The Saint Crispin's RTW are 1200usd, but MTO and bespoke are more.
+KenChiwo Made in Romania, actually
+KenChiwo maybe you're right thank you
Wow, only $1300. Shit, gimme 5 pairs.
You seriously don't want to mess up carving those soles around the shoe. One slip, and you've cut all of that nice upper leather. Yikes.
Yeah. They don't even cover it, just in case. The precision these guys have is incredible. I don't think I could do it. Too scared go ruin the upper leather and starting from scratch.
I maade a similair pair before I went to shoemaking school tell me what you think.

Thanks you!
how much this pair ?
Gr8Success Because they are bespoke, it will be starting at $6000US for such a pair.
+KenChiwo Pretty sure that's wrong. Google "saint crispin's shoes price" and you'll find plenty of their shoes between 1000-2000€. Even if those are made to measurements I doubt they'd quadruple the price.
