Hi Tek, I'm enjoying your clear description and explanation of, in this case, differing methods of boot-sole construction. So encouraging also that you're a western Australian as well. I'm in Queensland and getting into shoe & boot making in these later years with a background in cobbling. Keep the passion up 🙂

Great info. Could you also make video comparing hand welted and moccasin with other constructions?

I usually wonder why goodyear welted construction can be resoled (supposedly) more times than Blake stitch
@Bootlosophy Жыл бұрын
Theoretically, on a Blake Stitch (as opposed to Blake Rapid Stitch) you have to stitch through the uppers multiple times. On GYW, you replace the outsoles and stitch through the welt so uppers don’t get disturbed.

I’m debating buying Viberg’s vs. Whites MP Sherman’s. Wouldn’t White’s last longer as I can easily have them re-soles several times without compromising the upper leather? I’m guessing re-soling a Viberg has a lot more room for error to re-sole. Would appreciate your thoughts!

Both are stitchdown. Whites have a weird rolled welt. To be honest they’ll be the same IMO.

i get my blundstones resoled with soft vibrams. there is no "that's it". they keep on living.

In Australia, they’re AUD$120 (US$84) so there’s no real point in getting them resoled.

@@Bootlosophy if you have a boot which is already broken in, you know it doesn't have significant defects, and the upper is still structurally sound, why throw them out? Even if you do get a new pair it's better to have multiple pairs of boots and alternate between them if you work in them every day, wouldn't you agree?

No moccasin construction?

This video is about how the sole is connected to the uppers. I’ll do a video on moc toes later, they’re uppers.

If you mean by “moccasin construction” the real form of moccasin construction originally used by American First Nations people to make footwear where the whole skin is wrapped around the foot forming both sole and uppers, it’s not really a “main” form of construction used in making boots these days.

@@Bootlosophy Yes, I was asking about moccasin construction not moc toes. Not so common in boots but still predominant in deck/boat/driving shoes. There are few companies that still make boots, I have a pair from W C Russell and they are best boots I own. They are like a gloves for your feet, zero drop and no need for brake in.
