Previous is >>18602881Are traditionally made shoes (goodyear welted or blake etc.) better than cemented/vulcanized commonly seen today? They're more expensive for sure, but how much money actually goes towards:- the product being more durable - upper leather from a known tannery or soles from Vibram, Dainite, Svig etc.- the labor cost of a traditional craftsmanI never repair my cheap vulcanized shoes but I saw a video from a cobbler repairing a worn out tread. He sanded down the old sole, took a new Vibram one, re-vulcanized it to the old sole et voila.If cemented shoes are repairable, is GYW just a meme?
> loafers sans socks
>>18624901You buy good quality leather footwear because you want good quality leather footwear, not because it's cheaper.
>>18624901>Are traditionally made shoes (goodyear welted or blake etc.) better than cemented/vulcanized commonly seen today?significantlycemented trash is well trash and most often uses shitty leathersewn/welted shoes will use good leatheralso the lasts will be differentmore expensive is more gooder here for a while until you pay for the name
Any good venetian/belgian loafer brands? Belgian Loafers obviously, Del Toro and Rubinacci all make some nice designs but I want to see more of what is out thereGYW shoes are usually so structured and stiff, i just want something really soft and flexible so blake stiched slipper style loafers are just what i want
