I have been a leather smith since 1970. In all those years I have developed many of the techniques that this craftsman has developed and a good many I have not. For such a young man to be such an amazing shoe maker at this age is an amazing feet. His skiving abilities not to mention his abilities to keep so many tools as sharp as razors is wonderous. He should be so very proud to have developed to this point at this young age. I have watched this video almost twice and will watch it many more times an continue to learn from this fine craftsman. Congratulations Siroeno on an amazing job well done and I hope to see more of your work in the future. You are an inspiration to leatherworkers of all types. Thank you, Frank Yantosca t/a Red Oak Leathers

It's hard to believe that in the 21st century, in the era of robotics and machines, there is still someone like that, you have golden hands . 🥇🏅🏆

This was probably the highest craftsmanship skill in shoe making I’ve ever seen in my life. This young man has amazing skills. This work is precious and priceless. Well done

I dont think a handmade pair of dress shoes like these will ever go out of style. The attention to detail it takes, along with the years of training, it creates something timeless and elegant that is instantly recognizable as high-end and handmade. Its great that artisans like this still exist and are doing well.

I am completely humbled by the skills this young man displays. What he has created is art. The entire process just pulled me in. This is what YouTube was created for!

No wonder hand crafted shoes/boots cost so much…the amazing skill it takes to make them is truly inspiring. It was like watching a beautiful butterfly come out of its raw cocoon.

My father was a western boot maker. This video brought back lost of good memories. I still have a pair of boots he make for me, they are almost 45 years old. Still in great shape. Every so often I still wear them😊

[benstanfield]

Fantastic example of first class skill. Never imagined the level of detail that goes into the making of these boots. Huge respect to this artist.

To think, there was a time when this kind of work was normal. Now we sit and watch on YouTube in awe because it's such a novelty.

[flywheel]

The knowledge, technique and care this master craftsman displays, is literally a restorative to my soul.

[Theycallmeyoshi]

...Can I just say: this almost feels like a spiritual experience watching him work in silence; seeing a master craftsman at work.

[wwooww]

I'm now in my 60's and my father is long gone, this just brings back so many memories,
i know how hard this craft is and you just make it look so simple, very well done

This was a professional presentation in every way. The cinematography, the lighting, the composition all highlight the incredible craftsmanship of this gentleman. Excellent.

[expierreiment]

What a masterpiece of a boot. I think I have never seen a boot made to this level of attention to detail before.

[theflyingfool]

Craftsmanship of the highest level is one of the hallmarks of Japan and this young man is part of that famous tradition.

Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how next-level sharp his instruments are?
