I worked at a shoe repair shop for years. I would often stay after hours to make sandals to sell on campus. A lot of students wanted Birkenstocks but couldn't afford them. I'd buy generic cork beds and sole sheeting at cost, through the store, stitch together the straps from unusable scraps of leather and assemble them. I could do half a dozen pairs in a few hours. $50 a pop. Kept me from starving.
That heel contour form you have at 2:55, did you make that or is it commercially available? Also, what is it called? Thanks for the videos, I am enjoying learning.
they will last a long time. but the first time you wear them in a wet environment and the leather will look completely different. the natural "nude" veg-tan is incredible but the shoes will maintain the same look for just a brief time. still, impeccable craftmanship on these!
@@ayasugihada the beauty of using natural veg tanned leather like this is the patina you will get, the trainers will age with you. Will they still look the same after they’ve been rained on, of course not but I would argue they’ll look better. This look isn’t for everyone. I have some trainers in natural veg tanned leather and as long as you oil them every few months (to feed the leather)they look amazing
I remember the time that its so rough and iam only a construction worker i cant buy new shoes because my priorities are the needs of my young son and a new born daughter i saw an old sandals but the soles are good i made my own pair of shoe using that out soles and my old blue jeans and when i use it to my work my work mate was so amaze now i want to try again and i cant do it again maybe i just did it before out of desperation
I would like to find where to get some soles like that! I've looked all over the net using different search words and still can't find them. I would be forever grateful if you could point me in the right direction!
Me encantó! Le quedó preciosa y con una calidad de construccion que se nota que está hecha para durar muchos años! Excelente trabajo y saludos desde Argentina :D
super dope. i would love to see a bizzaro version where the license plate would perhaps be upside down, the inner eyelets would be on the outside . stuff like that. maybe have his full government name (charles hollis taylor) on the star.
Hello Sir, Greetings from Malaysia. May I know what type of material you used at minutes 11:53, when you attached that mid outer sole to the upper shoes. Thank you.
Why not stitch the rubber sole onto the lower sides of the upper, using less cement (perhaps only cement on the bottom), so that when that sole wears out, it's easier to pull it off and put a new sole on? If the uppers are veg tan, they will last a generation, and you'll want to be able to resole the pair several times. Several leather sneaker manufacturers take that approach of stitching on soles like this.
@@GoodsandServices why wouldn’t you stitch this sole on like some of your other pairs.... doesnt that much cement make it hard to take the sole off? Do you use a glue thinner to help get it off?
It takes a long time to make a handmade shoe, that's why it's pricey. Best thing about it though is they last forever, and usually they are infinitely repairable. I paid about 700 USD for a pair of custom boots which is a huge amount for me but I'm not regretting it at all.

Hi. Thanks a lot.
Greetings from Malaysia.
Suddenly i wanted leather one 😍😍😍😍
Absolutely beautiful
Amazing. And the bred 1s at the end are just beautiful
Where the heck do you get the sole from? Its not vulcannized for sure, a glue on sole wont last

From a Chuck Taylor
@@GoodsandServices Haha, didn't expect that. So you have to buy a pair to make a pair
IS the leather toi thick?
You are a skilled cool man
What are those burgundy n black 1s ?
Please educate us on why go through the part of nailing the bottom to then remove the nails. Thanks 🤗
@@kalmansandor5930 Wow, increíble. Gracias por la explicación. Tiene mucho sentido. Suerte!
Did you down load the pattern or did you disassemble a shoe and make your own?
Very professional
So awesome Watching the process
Hope to see your channel grow men you are one true talent
What glue do you used sir?
those rubber soles are intended to lasts 6 months right?
What brand glue do you use
Those veg tan chucks would be the bomb after a 12 months wear woth some creasing and patina all over
Can someone help with what kind of glue he is using?
Nice job sr.
Good job man!
I want to order or not ... and how much it costs
Oo
Soo good 👍
I wish

what is the best shoe cement?

We resole Chuck Taylors all the time.
