If anyone has ever wondered what it takes to make a shoe by hand, here's your answer:

video

So next time you see someone claim they have "hand made shoes" you can remember what it really means

Note: this is a lengthy series of videos (5 segments) and I'm not responsible for the rather annoying music!

From referencing this guy's website, he typically spends 10 hours on one pair. IIRC, the only time you see him use a machine is to buff the edges on the sole.

This is amazing. Thank you.

Edit: But their shoes online are hideous

lol, yeah I didn't see any that I wanted in particular. But he also doesn't charge the kind of prices you'd see from JL or EG either. The black shoe he made in the video retails for around $600 USD IIRC. I had to translate his website so not positive.
