Making Shoes By Hand

Mechanized industrial production may produce MORE footwear than traditional handicraft shoemakers, but that doesn’t mean its products are better in quality. As this video by Turkish advertising agency .NESS shows, shoemakers are experts of attention to detail and craftsmanship, something that a lot of people still value. So even though most of today’s shoes come from big factories, there are still some cordwainers who aren’t afraid to get their fingers dirty. Have you owned a handmade pair of shoes?

I think this is a lost art. This was absolutely fascinating to watch! There are people who feet with defects . I've seen them when I floated to podiatry. These shoes would solve many of their problems & prevent some surgeries. John L., don't ever lose your artistic passion.

Actually, I have seen some shoes costumising shops in Korea. Not many, though, and not by hand. The ones that do it manually are the ones that fix your shoes, and I have seen a lot of these ones.

There's always room for highly talented people, who are good with their hands and brains. I make beautiful things for the interior design field, and I view my worka as a part of me. I treat everything as if it has my name on it, even though I don't advertise it. Its too bad that people like myself are growing smaller in numbers.
