Hahahahahah

😂

You nailed it soldier 🫡

😂😂😂😂😂 so true

I envy you if you think 750 is a lot😂😂

Leather is the least expensive cost to make them

Shocking isn't it. I would never have realized that if they hadn't told us.

12,000 pounds for a pair of shoes? That's mucho loco 😜

Leather is so damn cheap actually. N labor aint that much either. Seen video bout a louie vaton handbag, cost of leather n labor is $250-300. They sell the handbag for $2.5-3k sometimes wayy more, like $5-10k+. Btw these shoes are ugly af, if your gonna buy these shoes with a nonsensical price, at least buy a good looking pair.

@@Kratos-eg7ezpretty much garbage

At the same time, a guy in India is making shoes by hand for 50$

😂😂😂

a person can get killed for a pair of $200 shoes, a pair of $12,000 dollar shoes, they going after the family.

🤣

😂😂😅

Wth does 'bespoke' even mean?

Bespoke be spoken a lot...

@@johnnichols3113 I looked it up and it means the same thing as custom-made. It just sounds more haughty

@@johnnichols3113 It means NOT FOR THE COMMON FOLK.🤣 Not for the lowly peasants

Be spoken to many times

Didn't ask

​@DaddyM7MD f off and let the person tell their story. Doesn't cost you anything, and you didn't have to read it.

​@@DaddyM7MDbruh, what's the point of this?

That's so cool. These shoes last so long if you take care of them. You should hold those so dear because you own a bit of history through them.

@@jobivuvuvfvi605 idk lmao 😭

You are right about that! 😂

You dont have to be wealthy to own these. Are they cheap? No, but you get what you pay for and they'll probably last you a lot longer than your average pair of shit soes. Are slthey still expensive even with those things on it side? Yes, but I wpuodnt say so expensive on ultta rich can afford it.

@@questionmark1152 you have to be downright insane if you think anyone besides the financially well off would own these. A plethora of people own cars the same price as a single pair of those shoes. And you’re also insane to think these leather shoes are going to last you longer than a well made pair for about $500-1000. Im not taking some BS like Nike I mean some well made gear (which is still expensive as hell for the average person). People who wear these shoes don’t really do much in them so it’s an unfair comparison regardless. Either way anything above a grand is for the well off or people who make bad financial decisions.

​@@questionmark1152my brother in Christ, you are insane if you think the average person is going to be able to or even have any reason to purchase a PAIR OF SHOES that are several months of their wages

12k is years rent and utilities for me but shoe yea nah

"Sir, not to be rude, but your feet need adjustment for your shoe, we may have to remove some material." 'Alright.' "Any particular attachment to your right little toe? I tease sir, you won't be attached to it long." 'Wait, what?'

Also need to match the leather for each shoe from two sides of the hide, to get the same quality, colour, grain, thickness etc. It's certainly an art. 👢

I guess on KZfaq just giving an explanation for something is something to scoff. God I hate the people on this site.

Uncanny!

Thanks for that info- another Aussie 🥰

Roo leather is stronger and more comfortable than cow ,I had 2 pairs made by a cobbler from Lismore they cost $5,000 a pair ,glad I didn’t pay for them the insurance company did

That's a great example of satire. You can be a writer.

Now I'm gonna make a bespoke hardware

There were also thousands of more craftsmen that were able to do this work and it wasn’t this nice back in the day.

​@@finncon4399 and most importantly, there was a bigger market. You can sell handmade shoes more cheaply when you sell dozens per day, rather than dozens per year.

@@omfgblondie we can all change this is everyone started buying bespoke shoes (but they likely wouldn’t lower the price too much even if they could …capitalism😢)

@@jjcooks7401 Prices still wouldn't be competitive to todays price of chinese shoes, Also back then, even though not as much, they WERE STILL EXPENSIVE, not everyone could afford good shoes and people would buy very few pairs on their lifetime.

The average Joe was NOT having a custom last carved to the shape and dimensions of his foot. Hand stitching and lasting went out of favor before the Asian factories were here.

What brand is it?

​@@mikayla_colliethere won't be a size if it's custom made most likely

@@hellohaveagoodday uh... what? When did i say anything about size? 🤔

@@mikayla_collie for some reason I read that as size, no idea how

lol oops

And you know that from experience?

​@Espeon Mistress You can see how narrow the front is. It's not good for the bone structure to be squeezed and we know that, but the wish to be fashionable is stronger than comfort, and has been for many hundred years

@@atherisGAY the wooden mold is carved to the exact measurements of the foot, so why would that be an issue if the foot clearly will fit in it?

​@@ang5798 because when they measure the toes are not spread out like when walking

@@praya88 that’s only true with cheaper manufacturers/ones who are cutting corners. I studied custom made footwear, and what we were trained to do for every pair we made was to get measurements of the feet both whilst standing, and whilst stepping to ensure we fully accounted for toe & foot spread (because everyone’s feet are different, and different feet have drastically different compression rates)

It's a costom shoes why would it deform the foot?

??? They're bespoke.

These shoes would not deform the feet. They are made to CUSTOM FIT.

For anyone not understanding this comment, Google "foot-shaped shoes". I was also surprised to hear that they were made to "the exact measurements and features of the customer's foot" yet still end up so ridiculously pointy.

Oof people are stupid if they are willing to pay for those pieces of shit

Heyo, not a lost foot for me, but a lost functionality in the ankle as well as some lost range of motion in the knee. When I walk barefoot I HAVE to use a cane to alleviate some of the weight off my right foot/leg. But when I wear a pair of Mizuno's (brand of shoe, I wear Wave Legacy and Wave Runner 25 shoes specifically) I can walk normally, and it's a natural feeling shoe in terms that it's not messing up the arch of your foot or otherwise. I can definitely understand expensive shoes help people, what I'm getting at is if your Husband is wearing ~12k dress shoes as you're saying, just know some other options are out there, $80-$120 isn't awful compared to 12k for shoes, just mean to recommend something cheaper but still high quality. And of course let the husband know some guy on the internet thanks him for his service.

​@@MotoDash1100might even be worse than losing it 😢

There are probably better quality shoes out there that are cheaper, but I’m glad they help him all the same.

So you have different size of your foot? Wide or fat?

@@YukiTemashi I've got fat feet! 🫠😉

Try going to Trickers in Jermyn Street. They still make bespoke shoes. Very expensive, but nothing like £5000.

Both come from cows. I don't see the difference...

35 hundred for you only.

@@alonzomartii Mr. George. How much you pay for the new guy? That is too much. He is no good operator.

A bespoke flippy-floppy.

​@@alonzomartiiI give you best price $34.50 - Russell Peters

Actually a lot less because they only need your footprint to match. So there's a lot less labor. Instead of painstakingly carving a wooden mold. You just stand in plaster.

2 pairs of shoes, then return the unmatched pair lolol

Pls get your feet fixed 😂, these are too expensive you might need to mortgage your house 😅

3d printer, greatly improve quality 😂

You don’t understand what hand craftsmanship is. Artisans have been crafting near perfection high quality products for millennia. Skill, talent, and the ability to adjust are just a few things a computer can’t do.

So bespoke.

@@bucko3353I’m pretty sure he was referring to 3d printing a model foot not the shoe.

@@apiapi8444 even so, molding to a printed foot would ruin the shape. The wooden moulds give the shape of the shoe but a foot mould would create a strange and too tight shape. Measuring the foot is enough and much simpler.

I'm pretty sure nobody is measuring my foot for a pair of sneakers at Deichmann

Your toes don't go to end of the shoe, there is around 20/25mm of space in a dress shoe therefore it can be shaped

Bunions for everyone! But in all seriousness even modern sneakers have way too narrow toe boxes

Barefoot gang

The fact so many people ask this worries me. The point is decorative BEYOND where your toes go.

​@@ang5798it's still quite narrow, it gets alot smaller than your average pair of trainers which also don't give enough space.

I use a similar principle when it comes to my Ferragamos that cost $600-$1000. Regular maintenance can make them last a very long time

Lmao using these constantly will deform your feet meaning you'll HAVE to wear different shoes. They're as pointy as a jester's

​@@hellohaveagooddayYou say the words of someone who doesn't have any experience with actual high quality leather shoes.

@@prio7485 I actually bought some very nice leather boots a few months ago. Dress shoes are proven to not be good for your feet long term so you should keep them for special occasions, meaning you won't need them to be made to last a long time.

Which... isn't a great thing, is it? Saying "people is poorer parts of the world do this job cheaper" isn't much of a win. Even if the cost of living is far lower there, is it THAT much lower?

nahb Just telling a thing people may not know... and Telling people that spme things are overpriced for no reason... Expensive doesn't equal quality does it ? @@bulbasaurusthe7th841

Because when they're expertly crafted to your foot shape, they're not. Can be comfortable as slippers. But oh, are you gonna pay for it.

These shoes will last for your lifetime if taken care of properly

Also tue money is for the hardwork of the artisan. It's not an unreasonable price

​@@EspeonMistress00 it is buddy. U can buy shoes with a life ling span with a quarter of the price, and still theyre too expensive. The "handmade" title and the good quality materials DO NOT excuse such price. If anyone thinks so, they should be prohibited from handling money ever again

@@amimiami82 Or you know, they appreciate arts and artisan. And it's their money, their choice.

Never too old to learn something new :)

Why? Let people pay what they want. The beauty is that you don't have to. Sketchers are $50, they are a perfectly good shoe as well.

Which will wear out much faster and quicker than the bespoke leather shoes. So says the Vimes' Boots Theory of Economic Inequality.

@@andrewweitzman4006 they are comfortable. Not gonna pay thousands for some stupid leather shoe that will only be worn at a fancy party and ever again. Crocs are more comfortable, affordable, and can be worn everywhere AND waterproof

​@@andrewweitzman4006At some point shoes stop lasting longer even if you pay more for them.

​@@anikaghthey can be worn everywhere but you shouldn't. You can also drink arsenic but you shouldn't

​@@anikaghyeah, but you have to wear Crocs

It's fortunate you've never experienced actual violence. This most certainly isn't it!

How fortunate that you've never experienced actual violence. This most certainly isn't IT!

@@redthread3650 The fact you had to comment twice shows how incompetent you are. Don't care, ignored.

Sketchers are the worst shoes I ever wore, but I never had a bespoke shoe

YUP- so many pointless, obvious statements!.. lol. and seemed like they got paid for how many times they could use the word "bespoke"...
