Overall very good.
It's too bad most of their employees are so old. Where do shoemakers find new blood?

Typical of doc filmmakers today - too many talking heads not enough detail on the actual processes...

Found a few areas where they might cut corners.
1. Leather supplier. If they paid more, probably they won't have the stretch mark problems.
2. The insole is made of composite materials? The Hungarian bespoke shoemaker Marcel builds his shoes with only leather.
3. Midsole made of scrap leather cardboard-like material. From what I can see, Marcel uses full grain leather and carves it.
Can anyone see more differences? You would probably presume I'm a "Grenson-hater", but I'm not. It's just that every brand name shoe-making vids out there look all the same, I'm curious in what sets them apart from each other.
