I don't know how this ended up in my feed, but I just sat and watched 30 minutes of a craftsman making an incredible pair of boots. Bravo!I'm a third generation shoe retailer and repairer. This is the first time I've seen a stitch-down welt with the extra layer of a "fake welt" reinforcement above the out-turned leather uppers. Danner uses a lot of stitch-down construction, for instance, but they just use the outward turned leather vamp leather as the welt. I'm also stunned they completely sew the outsole to the welt by hand. I can't imagine a more hand-crafted boot than these guys make.
