Those are like 10 sizes too big wtf 🤡

The nd1 is just badass

hey thank you for the tut! I got light suede birkenstock literally two weeks ago and I just spilled almost half of a large latte on it and I am so angry. I don't have any of the equipment yet but I orderered some brush and a cleaner. lightly washed them with mild water and soap. I will see how they look like tomorrow. Eek

HAHAHAHAHA dropped an entire steak on it!!!

54 months to " make" the shoes?. No way. Shoes aren't made until all the materials are on hand. Then, it takes a maximum of a couple of days.

I only like indies for the fit and the non mud tracking soles.

You need more microphones in your teeth to listen to your cavities and in your buttocks to listen to your farts, unpleasant and disgusting sound.

*Hmm probably should have let them dry first after washing them. And then condition them. Maybe the results would be slightly different. You did a good job though. You tried your best! I don't think they're wearable anymore, but they will make a good display piece!*

*@cedricboivin9422 Nick's Boots, JK Boots, many other companies, and even cobblers do the same thing! 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 It will never be stopped!*

It's funny I love them the way they are

What type of sewing is it ? Stitch down ?

Those boots were bad ass to begin with. You guys made them legendary by the end. Best pair out there!!

Can someone tell me if this works and is a good tutorial bc my friends bircks have water stains and her grandpa (who is now dead) gave them to her. It wasn’t her who got them dirty but she was literally having a panic attack over it

Vid was fantastic! Pros 🙏🏾

This is a copy of a comment I made on another of your videos: I'm going to try to show you and others what you miss in your sort of reductive analysis of Alden. First I'm in my 70s and have worn a lot of business shoes, casual shoes and boots throughout my life. Had my first pair of work boots when I was 8 yrs old... and many pairs since. A boot is a system. Each part has a function in context with the rest in order to achieve the goals of the boot. The Indy boot is an orthopedic boot built on a patented orthopedic last, designed to keep your foot in a healthy anatomical position. It has a wide toe box giving space for bunions or other deformities, and it narrows down at the instep and heel to produce a tall, long and firm heel cup. Other parts of the orthopedic system include the cork midsole, the well designed metal shank, and the Thomas heel. Cork, which seems to be missing from many of your favored boots, is buoyant, elastic, and water resistant. It is also very durable. A cork footbed molds around your foot to give orthopedic support and comfort. It's one of the reasons Indy boots "break in" in a matter of days or a couple of weeks. And stay comfortable over the life of the boot. And let me reiterate, cork is very rugged and does not break down easily. The Indy boot metal shank is made of tempered steel, properly contoured and triple ribbed for strength. Way to many boot makers use a thick piece of leather or wood for the shank. Simply cannot compete with a properly designed metal shank for arch support and long lasting comfort. The Thomas heel (the curved front of the heel) adds rear and midfoot medial support. Good for any foot, but especially for people with excessively pronated feet. This is why people love their Indy boots. Quick to break in, very supportive regardless of foot issues, and the orthopedic properties force you to walk correctly, making it possible to work all day in them very comfortably. And they are NOT overly heavy. Heavy boots are not good for your ankles, legs and lower back. That's why it's important for any boot maker to achieve the goals of the boot, at the least possible weight. I have arthritis now, and no longer wear any shoes other than my two pair of Indy boots. They reduce significantly the pain in my feet, legs and back. Since I live in Portland, no one cares when I wear them to the Symphony. Alden Indy Boots are better engineered than any other boot. Period.

Those are so spectacular

Serioualy - so them in my size :)

*Way too expensive! But I do love the look of these boots! I love suede! I wish they had been cheaper. In another video he said they will do more releases throughout the year. It's a real shame they aren't more affordable. I know it's because of higher end materials. But still, many wish they were more affordable lol 😅🤣🤣🤣! I don't have $650 laying around you know?*

Name sucks. And the boots are 650$? Nah son. I’ll buy some supersets

Are you watching, Alden?

I like the look of these but would never trade eyes for speed hooks. I wear 877s every day and can say that speed hooks won't tighten like eyes will. They pull the leather at an odd angle and can't tighten the same as eyes.

They resemble the Cocoran jump boots I wore. Add an external toe cap...

Yes please.

I think it looks better in original colour

What a beautiful custom piece

I’ll pay for these boots!!! Love the build.

Now they're worth the $700 dollar price tag

What a great improvement. Those would be some awesome boots to have!

Good clean fun ! At 12:05 is that a bed lasting machine ? I worked with one I was told was invented by a black slave , what a machine !

What last eill the production ones come in? My only pnw boot is a HNW and i would prefer a wider toe relative to the heel cup. The width of the toe is good but the boot feels loose around the heel. Also a sleeker slightly lower profile toe would be preferable.

You hurt my feelings.

id love to buy a pair

When are you going to do the collab on WW II Japanese boots?

It feels really wrong to watch a leather good company strike on their tool with a steel hammer

I seem to be having trouble getting the soap out? I didn't put a ton...

I was asked if I was watching porn because of the background music. 😅

Fantastic work dude!

The Vibram V100 Honey soles would be a better choice instead of the unit sole. That way you can have a leather heel stack.

at the bottoming part, without press machine to press the rubber out sole after applying adhesive, would I be able to achieve the same result by just hammering it down the out sole?

I really like the cut, very inspired by M1917 doughboy boots !

They finally did it! They made their own boots from scratch!

I want to make my own shoes. What glue and nails do you use?

fellow bootmaker here. not your first rodeo, beauty build. could try and hand stitch thru vibrams next time if you have the courage and can stand the sight of blood 😝🫡

For cleaning my oiled leather Birkenstock Arizonas, it seems like I could follow the same process, but probably just a soft toothbrush to clean it and skip the brass bristle brush step. Is that correct? Do I condition the same way? Do you think you could create another video about cleaning oiled leather Arizonas?

Wow. Talk about labor intensive!

Does this inspire anyone else to want to make their own boots? I might have a passion project ahead of me. Great job Taylor those look amazing!

Great looking boots! TBH I think the name is kinda cringe though. I get it, bears need to be killed sometimes but 'slaying' sounds like you're enjoying it or doing it wantonly. Just rubs me the wrong way. Maybe the target market won't care but in 2024 when we have more environmental awareness, Bear Slayer sounds to my ear like it was concocted in the 1940s or by a little kid. Still, I hope they do well for you as I like Weston and everything about Rose Anvil. I hope this can be seen as constructive criticism. Alternative names (off the top of my head) - Bear Country Boots, Bear Walkers, Bear Trails, Bear Cave Boots, Bear Paws.

That's a masterpiece - joy to watch

These bear slayers look great.
