[alexandrefaure]

Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. Here is a second video after the unexpected success of the first one. I worked more on the sound of this video as many of you suggested. I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks again :)

Thank you very much for posting. My father was a shoemaker and I spent my childhood watching him hand - making shoes, from creating a last to finished product. Even now, more than 60 years later, I could identify your processes and tools. Greatly appreciate your craft.

I will never complain about the cost of a good pair of shoes ever again.
I particularly enjoyed the small detailed procedures. They had the feel of ten thousand Generations of craftsmanship.

I am mesmerized and glued( 😊) to this video with my two kitties who are intrigued by the “sounds”;drawings, cuts, scrapes and tools of your craftsmanship. I am in awe of your beautiful design and detailed work. What a treat to behold. I am filled with your glory and inspiration. Many thanks, Bex❤

Wow, the countless hours of practice are evident in your finished product. Even while empty and resting the shoes appear dynamic rather than static, the life of the artists should be evident in the finished piece and even on the tiny phone screen your shoes appear to have soul. I'm sure that in person they are mind blowing.
Thank you for sharing your process, I thought the sound was perfect, I felt as I were in your shop silently observing you work your craft, I only wish I could smell the leather.

As someone who is wanting to jump into tailoring and clothing design for a business venture (that includes custom shoes.) This is probably one of the most helpful tutorials I have come across so far since it also includes how to cast, make, and fine tune a last for an incredibly personal and comfortable fit. You are a scholar and a gentleman. Kudos on the excellent tutorial.

Now I totally understand why handmade dress shoes costs thousands of dollars.. and it is totally acceptable and justice for that pricetag after seeing this video.
Astonishing work!! Breathtaking ♥️

Who knew that to become a bespoke leather shoemaker you also had to master plaster mold making and sculpting!?! Fascinating! Quel plaisir de voir un maître a l’œuvre.

[bendirval]

It absolutely blows my mind that this level of effort and care is put into a pair of shoes. I feel like I just watched someone make a Stradivarius.

[chrissnyman]

I pray that the shoemaking skills you have will be transferred to the next generation and not be lost like so many other wonderful skill sets our fathers before us had. You are a Master craftsman. Thanks for posting.

I’m stunned. What a skill. What superb craftsmanship. Boy I would sure like to put my 73 year old feet into my own pair. Respect Sir, complete Respect.

I am 22 minutes in and I am worn out! This is indeed a lost art! The patience involved in this practice is also a lost art. Thank you skilled shoemaker for showing me, us, the beauty of a time occupied worthy act of patient determination when creating a classic. Wow!!! Look at that finished product!!! Gorgeous!!!

Какой кропотливый труд...столько операций...просто невероятно красиво !!! Браво настоящему мастеру !!!

[ludditeneaderthal]

Incredible artistry! I'm at a loss for words at the level of skill and care you exhibit in this project, from last manufacture to final finish touches. The only thing missing is the look of satisfaction on the patron's face as he takes his first step! BRAVO sir, bravo!

This was great to watch my father in law and brothers in law all make bespoke shoes, I used to watch them making them and learned how through them mostly father in law. He made them for 55 years before he got I’ll and passed away, watching you do this brought back good old memories, my love of all thinks bespoke, came from him, I had already worked in Jones the boot makers N’Hampton so my father in law gave me the most knowledge about real handmade shoes, he made me two pairs that I keep as my feet got older and bunions appeared, he was I. The middle of making a pair for my deformed feet before he passed, I kept the last and leather and all he’d made till this day, though now none of his sons work as bespoke shoemakers now, we all still love to get shoes made not bought off the shelf, cost more though i it’s worth it as they fit perfectly and last for donkeys years. Thanks for your video it was excellent craftsmanship.

Это просто невероятно кропотливая и очень непростая работа. Я в восхищение безграничным талантом мастера. Поистине ручной труд профессионала не может не поражать.

Работа выше всех похвал! Руки золотые... а что ещё ценнее - это человек большой души, который открыто делится всем, что знает и умеет, раскрывает от всего сердца секреты своего мастерства... в отличие от тех, кто предпочитает уносить свои секреты с собой в могилу...
Огромный тебе респект, Мастер и Человек!

[tabithahiggins]

As a kid, I used to love watching "factory tour" videos to watch how various things are made. Watching a highly skilled craftsman custom create something like this is even more interesting. Thank you so much for posting, this is incredibly satisfying.
