nice nice nice, this somewhat shows me that what i had been planning on my head is possible, no machines, all by hand shoe making. Just a hell of a lot of time. Very nice!

[@kyliewalker6647]

That's was my thought's also, no sanding machines used, everything 100% hand skivvied, or skived?
No wonder the poor man has sore wrist/hands..

Dude. You are the loafer master. I've watched a few videos of handmade loafers and none compare.

[@altizer_shoemaker]

Thank you! I hope to live up to this title!

Lovely material. Perfect for Sunday off. Keep it coming! Fantastic pair, my man.

[@altizer_shoemaker]

Thanks, Brunon!

I think your work is inspired by the CZcams channel Siroeno Yosui, good job

[@dees9502]

Bravo!

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

you've come a long way,

[@altizer_shoemaker]

Thanks, Steve! I've had some great teachers! Been enjoying watching the shoemaking you've been doing as of late!

[@kyliewalker6647]

You have very nice taste and style for someone so young. Will you redo the misaligned stitching? cos everything else is perfect except the tongue. Great colour choice, they're like Gucci loafers, except better quality.

I just have one question if you nail the Leather in the last, how you remove the last afterwards

[@altizer_shoemaker]

All the nails get removed after welting and before putting the sole on. The only ones that remain in the shoe are the ones securing the heel, and those don't reach the last. Thanks for the question!

[@balajigs9]

Even I had this question always.. thank you that you took time out to respond to the question.. also your work is amazing.. one of the best loafers made that I have seen on CZcams.. I should say the best loafers

[@altizer_shoemaker]

@@balajigs9 Thank you! Check out Siroeno Yosui if you want to see some better loafers and videos.

[@balajigs9]

@@altizer_shoemaker yeah I have been a fan of his for more than a year now.. and now I am a fan of yours as well 😁

[@altizer_shoemaker]

@@balajigs9 Really glad to hear it! I’m pretty busy setting up a store/workshop now but I hope I’ll have more time in the future to film shoemaking videos.

No arch suports on loafers?

[@altizer_shoemaker]

Not sure I understand the question.
