- Here it is, the process of making this classic Lace-To-Toe boot. I start with creating the pattern, cutting all the leather by hand, sewing, and then moving to hand-lasting, and bottoming.
All of my boots are made to measure for a fit truly meant for the individual and nobody else.

Love everything about the video, the mix of classic songs with shop sounds is amazing to hear and relaxing at the same time. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
That was awesome. I love watching true craftsmen do things like this.
That was great! I enjoy watching boot and shoe making videos. Yours was the best I’ve watched in a while, the music with the shop sounds was cool. Thanks
Appreciate the support, Ron! We wanted to try something a little different with the music.
Watching from Scotland lovely work from a true craftsman.
Awesome I use to live in Stirling just down the street from a cobbler. That's what started this career for me.
I stay in Perth about 30mins from Stirling, some of my wife's family stay in Stirling. Small world.
Impeccable work. The music is perfect.
I like the music choice!!! Bravo
Thank you!
Awesome. Thats a serious boot.
Thanks for watching! It's a tedious job with a lot of steps but love doing it!
I've watched a lot of bootmaking videos but just found your channel today. This video was the most engaging/artistic video I've seen. Love the fact that you even cut the leather by hand instead of using a clicker press. Glad I found your channel!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked it
Love the music but love more the craftmanship and the final product waooo beautiful boots I want a pair
Thank you! Trying to keep the craft alive! “Not dead yet” my wife and I say
Amazing and beautiful hand make by you
Great product
Thanks for watching!
Loved watching this video. Such an amazing process. You are an artist! Beautiful job with the video too.
Glad you're in UT!!
And now we just moved to Wyoming haha
Completely awesome man!
Excellent music.
I have started making boots too ❤. These videos made me get into it. Just gonna say it’s insanely hard to make the traditional good year welted boots
nah you will get the hang of it I have some tricks to make it easier if you want to know
Very enjoyable watching a master craftsman at work. New to your channel. The music was intriguing so I stayed. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful art. I really enjoyed seeing your work in progress,
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I love making boots and enjoy every step it takes to finish a pair.
Dude, your skills are amazing! Great video!.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Excellent.
There is no sound on this video for me.. Strange. Every other video has sound.
ayyyy I'm new to leather working and im also in Utah! super cool coming across your page!
That’s awesome! Glad you found us. I’ll give your channel a look!
Just beautiful. It's odd, but I found myself smiling like a child throughout the whole video. Thank you for sharing. Also, how does one get into something like this? Thanks again.
thanks so much .This craft is dying, so many boot makers today will offer classes and apprenticeships to keep it alive.
Sad but true. I grew up a cobbler and it was dying back then even with all the cheap disposable shoes. Funny how RUclips has brought new light to these old trades. My dad and I would have been famous for sure! It was such fun work and I miss the smell of leather and glue and polish. The sounds of a 5 n 1 cutting, the naumkeag, awl stitching with waxed thread. Memories
Sam, you should put a lofi soundtrack.
Such craftsmanship should stay with us forever. Incredible workmanship! Add hobnails and heel irons and they'll go 300 miles without a sole replacement. They really don't make'em like they used to, except at Schmidt's.
Health to your hands, as we say in my country Hellas. Though there was no sound, or maybe cause of that, it made watching more focused and it is obvious you love your craft. I positively envy that. All the best brother! PS Where are you located?
Awesome video. Very entertaining. What’s your favorite part to do in the whole process?
Thanks Mckaila! My favorite part is the lasting. It's where I finally see the boot coming together. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I want to learn how to do this so so much!
You are in luck, I teach one-on-one boot making classes! You can read more about it in the link here > schmidtsbootmaker.com/pages/boot-making-classes
That guy could really sing
Cool video, wish there was sound!
Rio de Janeiro- Brasil. 🥰🥰 Eu quero. Essa obra de arte vai ficar linda em meus pés. Parabéns💟💟💟
What did you use for inseaming?
346 thread and hand wax normally but for these boots it was 346 and beeswax
Samuel, your work is NEXT LEVEL! Was this video the beginning of you really putting your work out there online? I bet your business is exploding!
Hey thanks so much. Ya this was our first long video showing the work I do. We have a plan to have a video for each boot that I do. The next one is a 2 piece hiking boot.
Awesome vid. Would it be a problem to do same video with out music at all?
ya the next video we wanted to have all the shop sounds I just have to have the heaters off so you don't hear the fans.
Is this a silent film?
Nah we pulled music from the public domain but RUclips still got mad
So I want a black leather Oxford built like that. With leather instead of cork.
cool, jump on our website and order a pair of dress boots. In the special instructions say that it's an oxford with leather filler. Im out till about June.
@@schmidts.bootmaker $1200 is bit out of my price range.
What differentiates the dress boot from the $600 boots?
@@TEDodd oxfords are harder to do they require a different stitch pattern also the hide is more expensive.
@@schmidts.bootmaker I was thinking more like the Hunting boot, with a leather sole, cut like a shoe (below the ankle), and a smooth black leather.
I love the construction, especially not using gimming/Goodyear welt.
@@TEDodd Hey thanks ya give me a call sometime and we can go over a design. This sound cool.
Whats the black stuff on your cutting table??
rubber gym mat
I enjoyed watching your video with the mute button on, the old time music was good at first but there was way too much of it for me. Keep up the good work though, looks like you make a good pair of boots
Ever made a one piece leather backpacking or mountaineering/alpine boot?
I can never get the curve I want in the heel with a one-piece so I split it into 3 parts to do my hiking boot.
@@schmidts.bootmaker I've been looking around to replace my Scarpa BXD from 2004. They are awesome for backpacking in the Rockies.
Hey brother how much for a pair?
600 dollars Im out till about June.
So how much do a pair of handmade bespoke boots like these cost??
my dress shoes and boots go for 1200 and my other types of boots go for 600
@@schmidts.bootmaker $600 for these seems like a great price for all this work.
@@schmidts.bootmakerfor your time and skill, you honestly don’t charge enough, factory boots made with lower quality materials sometimes go for 5-600
Great Video & Nice Boots
I love videos like this, but the music really ruined it for me. It was very distracting and grating. You can save yourself some effort and improve video quality by just leaving it out. Without the music, I could watch this all day, but I couldn't even get through the whole video with it.
Thanks for the feedback! We are looking to get a microphone so that it won't pick up my heavy breathing haha. The music was the only way to cover it up. Really just wanting to get the shop sounds in the future.
What? The music was awesome. I really enjoyed this video and the boot as well. No heavy metal or machine made music. Class act.
Easy answer to unliked sounds….mute…turn off volume.
I liked the jazz classics. I could listen to that all day.
Just turn off volume ;))
Turn the sound off if it bugs you! This is not rocket science!
Loved every second of this video.
I was back in my grandfather's workshop. He was a shoemaker.
I could almost smell the leathers, the glue again. I am almost 64 years old, but this video took me back to my childhood. I recognized most of the machines, most of the sounds , it was a trip back into my past for me. Thank you so much.
I love the music and the noise in the background while working with leather. Nice.
Did the video get muted? I hear nothing at all.
Definitely need more videos like this in my life! Also how would these boots run?
Сразу видно не опытный мастер
Great video, excellent content, and I admire the craftsmanship!
Thank you for watching! I hope to keep it alive and teach others this trade!
Nice boots, I wonder how long takes such a training until you can make such shoes? I think the leather cutting is still the easiest but then the sewing and the sole work seems to me to be harder. Keep it up had fun watching the video
Many greetings
Peter
Amazing craftsmanship! Great camerawork as well.
Beautiful, looks like a spin on a Viberg boot, but I like yours better! Interesting the way you lasted the upper, tacking the back low, setting the toe up and then stretching it home into final shape. That was cool and you are the only person I’ve seen use that technique.
Like the channel !
Music has a Fallout 4 vibe. I love it.
Outstanding craftsmanship!!! I know it's not an easy task but you make it look as if anyone can do it. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! If you ever wanted to learn how to make a pair of your own, I teach a 5-6 day class. schmidtsbootmaker.com/pages/boot-making-classes
America the beautiful!
Enjoyed every second of this video. The music is grand!
Def do a video with Weston not sure how I never heard of your boot company. But really loving this. And one day would love to get some orthotic boots from you for my spine...
Love the music!!!!
Automation is killing the culture... handmade shoes, handmade suits, mechanical watches, fountain pen we are losing these art forms.
Absolutely awesone!
Workshop looks cluttered And disorganized
Nothing will ever bit hand made, just amazed me your skills
Thanks for watching! We really want to get another Bootmaking video up!
Those are some damn well done shoes. Congratulations.
The music is different. But great video overall. I've always bought expensive boots and shoes because I have issues with my feet. Infantry osut training was hard because we could only use the issued boots. But after that I could get better off the shelf boots. Ive always wanted to try custom handmade boots. But I'm afraid to spend the money and they not be right.
Honestly, if they are custom fit, there shouldn't be any issues. If you can, find a bespoke cobbler that will take molds of you feet to make the last.
@@mikeford963 that's what I figured. I think my next boots will be custom.
Thanks for replying
I wish that my leather work showed this level of craft mastery. This was lovely to watch. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it! More videos to come
Loved everything about this video, you are a true craftsman's and that boot is built like a tank. Hoping to some day get a pair for myself. Keep up the great work!!
Hey, thanks so much. This pair took a lot of work
No music - I would like to hear the work too.
There are nails in these shoes. Cool
These boots must last forever!! Damn!!
😮
😮😮
Sub'd. 👍🏻
Pretty cool. I would love to have a set of Jedi boots if I can find someone to make them for me.
let's make it happen. Sounds like a fun project! email or call me: schmidts.bootmaker@gmail.com or 435-522-8210
Boots making.this is where my head and heart belongs
agreed. It's a great trade to be in. very rewarding
Awesome
Servo motors are the best.
o I feel like Im cheating with that thing it's so awesome.
Interesting process and a very cool finished product ... although once through Sammy Davis' "The Southland Gave Birth to the Blues" was quite enough.
Such a great video dude and the music is great too💚 learning a lot watching you work. Would love to see in person 💚 All the best
Very fantastic work,so nice.Greetings from Jinjer‘s friend in Germany
Awesome watch!
Thank you Brian!
Not my type of music but props on the boots they are simply beautiful.
No sound.
yup
No sound?
yeah unfortunately when switching this video to be monetized, one of the songs (which we checked to make sure was in the public domain) and RUclips deemed was not, we lost all the sound on the video. We are thinking of uploading again but with no music and just shop sounds.
I ABSOLUTELY love the boots!!!!❤❤❤❤
Loved this video and the music made it even better!
Great video, loved the music!
So much handwork
Brilliant.
Masterpiece. This is what I call a real old school high quality boots
Thank you. Working hard trying to keep this craft alive.
Happy to see I'm not the only one who uses legal file folders for pattern making!!
People just don't know how much more convenient it is!
@@schmidts.bootmaker I'm relatively new to the skill. I figured file folders would hold up longer than just paper!
i was going to watch it untill he started whistling wont even watch it on mute i dislike whistlers with a pasdion
I know what I'm adding to every video now.
It has that vintage mountain hiking boots ,look to it . Beautiful. Well done
Yes sir that is a nice pair of boots.
