I'm not so keen on the styles of some of the shoes from this brand, but this is an interesting video showing the way the pattern is created and cut and how the shoe is then made:

they do, and it is probably why they are reduced price.^Don't the Lattanzi's look a bit creased and scuffed (at least, the one on the left)?

Thanks for the links.
Nice traditional looking shoes that are very well made. Can you do made-to-measure where you alter the stock last?
I notice your lasts have a lot of volume in them. Where do you source your lasts from?
It's also interesting how some of your shoes have close cut waists. How many years have you been doing close cut waists for, and what inspired you to do close cut waists? Also, how long have you been a cordwainer for?
For those encouraging me to hang up the boots and get some loafers for summer and dressier wear, how about these? Not suede but a good price. Listed as being oxblood, though pic looks black:

I have read many criticisms of this net, especially for the deterioration of the canvas of the gems, but there are many other critical points (plant, stops, buttresses, cuts attached to canvases ...). All this seems that nobody takes it into account.
Enrile said:Goodyear popularized the price of a worthy shoe, but it can never be compared to a handwelt shoe.
Enrile said:my violin waist inspiration is given by an old pair of boots made in my city over 100 years ago. I started doing it just a year ago.
Regarding critical points, everyone gives much importance to gems. In any industrial construction the hurry intervenes, therefore the hidden materials used must form and harden very quickly.
The strong tip is made of synthetic material, just like the buttress.
when you do this with real leather, it is done with water and bumps, this takes time and expertise .... however it allows good perspiration and some deformation when wearing shoes, which is certainly more comfortable.
Enrile said:The hole that remains under the gem is 6 to 8mm. Cork stuffing at best. With use it sinks and the shoe seems to get much bigger.
Enrile said:That said, I must also argue that goodyear in general has a price for what you get, and this is enough for most people.
that is incredible, so closely stitched.My violin waist is stitched, don't stake
can't understand the writing.
sorry. when you make a handwelt and the wall is carved on the insole, the hole is very very small 1 to 3mm. I stuffed with natural cork or 100% wool felt
Found this new youtube channel focused on stripping down shoes and evaluating construction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZk9pfucVO4
Here they reveal that Tod's loafers ($5-600) have plastic heel blocks hah.
