I wear entry level shoes by Allen Edmonds. Now I've seen the finish line. Absolutely remarkable shoemaking. Thanks for the peek into this world.
1st place : When you gotta fit your resume on one page.
1st Place: Museum piece
2nd Place: Bespoke Pimpin' piece
3rd Place: Highest-level Daily-wear piece
Though Wegen's piece almost looks like a ladies' heel. (different times, different views)
Kirby's perpetual use of the word 'whenever' in place of the more classic 'when' is a slight peeve for me. 😅 I always thought those words were two different words for different use cases. At any rate, this was a great and passionate review of the top 3 shoes from the World Championships in Shoe Making.
Absolutely incredible skill. Personally, I think part.of the brief should be that the shoe must be able to be worn
Couldn't agree more. Looking at the three, it's clear that there was a different approach to the competition by the shoemakers. I bet if someone told the 2nd and 3rd place holders that they can make something that resembles a shoe but doesn't have to be worn by a normal human being, they would go to town with the design as well.
It is a very old tradition to make display shoes that aren't meant to be worn within the craft. It is just to show what is actually possible to create physically.
"Perfectly Executed "
Mens size 3' 1/2
I am learning so much watching the expertly produced videos. Thanks everyone involved.
I might have missed it but, were any of these shoes perfectly executed?
lol
best comment
Yes however you probably can't wear them lol. Its like showing off how good you are. Like in so many other crafts fields, there are things that are unreasonable that you just do to prove how good you are
1st place: a shoe that doesn't even work...
What's the point of a 1st prize winning shoe that can only be worn by an alien from Area 51?
BRUHHH😂😂
Hahahahaha
This is why we see aliens then,shopping on earth for bespoke shoes!
@@MyScotty7 Aliens also come to Earth to buy Velveeta cheese and spam.
LMAO
Daniels perfected vision is right out of a Tim Burton cartoon. I love it.
I took a shot every time he said "whenever", currently sitting in the ER waiting to get my stomach pumped, I'll send you the bill Kirby.
Mr Allison, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this with us. Your Scholarship on the Sartorial Arts is true, compelling, and enriching.
You need to purchase a thesaurus. Everything seems to be perfectly executed.
The touch of Mokume under the brass on the toe is exceptional. I collect exotic metals, so I love that little touch.
Simply amazing stuff Kirby!!
Danniel's shoe is absolutely beautiful. hard to see a shoe as a piece of art but that one is the exception.
Thanks for the trip inside the craftmanship raised at incredible levels of details by all those masters shoemakers ❗
Absolutely fabulous well done son..Thanks to my grandfather I've been a devote of the fine bespoke shoe..Bravo
Utterly fascinating. Wonderful video and fabulous narration.
Outstanding work, Kirby. Makes me regret my joking about tying shoes videos. =) Have a great weekend, keep up the extraordinary content!
I read somewhere that Allen Edmonds was the first place runner up
😃
Outstanding video Kirby, congratulations😉
As an individual who must have toe caps if I don't want to return to the shoemaker every month, I am impressed by the maker who manages to insert a brass toe cap subtly but very apt for practical purposes. I cannot find such a product, but would love to. Your enthusiasm for the shoes is catching.
Your videos are so cool man. You're going to go huge if you keep at it.
Kirby, always very informative and helpful videos, keep up the great work.
Your take on Adidas ultraboosts?
Pure art
I will be happy to have the ones that finished last in the competition. Btw, and since you are asking for my opinion, then I like more the Japanese maker shoe because it’s more than a prototype and can be ordered if you have the “perfectly executed” money.
Thanks for sharing!
How can you fit your feet in the last shoe?
Just like the shoe shop display outside the shop on one's local High Street they have only given Kirby one shoe from each pair as they know he would run off with them if they were paired up.
Danial's shoes need a mafia members customers !..
wow even a knuckle dragger like me could see and marvel at the quality in these shoes!!
Question: At what point does a greater stitch count weaken the leather? Just like perforations on paper aid it to rip, I would think the stitching line would have a greater tendency to separate.
I would say when the stitch hole is bigger than the space between the stitches. Also depends on the thickness of the leather. If it is skived to much it can rip beacuse the thread (nylon, polyester) is stronger then the leather and it will cut through it or with movement create a tear. With competition shoes it isn't as important because nobody will wear them, so they won't bend the leather.
@@pm-yp5ri When making traditional handmade shoes in the european tradition, flax or linen thread is being used.
Absolutely supremely executed championship bespoke shoemaking! Daniel truly submitted an outstanding entry and very well deserved as championship winner.
What a remarkable discipline and art form.
2nd and 3rd places are shoes. 1st one is an art piece that is made to resemble the shape of a shoe.
I absolutely love brogue wingtips ♡
will you ever get a japanese made bespoke suit or shoes?
Krunoslav Kovacec Yohei Fukuda is the most renowned Japanese shoemaker! I’m saving up for my 1st bespoke pair for my Japan trip next year.
@@YacDiesel It is gonna be expensive. The trip + the shoes themselves. Not to mention you will have to go back to Japan at least 3 times for fittings. Good luck!
Yeah, I’m budgeting around $10,000, all things considered.
@@YacDiesel For how long?
Fukuda’s bespoke shoes come with a three-year-long wait list. His bespoke shoes start at $4,600 and go all the way up to $12,000 in exotic skins . ? and the suit more 580,000 yen $5,513.39 The suit needs 3 fittings over 3 months you might want to increase the 10000:)
The winning shoe is beautiful and the technical merits are truly outstanding,but I thought the point was you could order one for yourself to wear.🤔
That is absolutely not the point
Nope... point was to demonstrate the epidemy of the shoe making craft and your skills as a shoe maker...
@@silvestrocrino3256 *epitome
Fabulous
Daniel wiggin shoe looks so comfortable
Stunning shoes, but that winning pair is really a step above...
Great review Kirby. Thank you.
Art
This is the heel height I want for my shoes! The AllenEdmunds, Cobbler Union and almost all English shoes are too low they all looked smashed down. I liked the Murata and Corthay models. I understand why Wegen was number 1 - perfection.
I love the third and second place shoes the best, I probably give the third place one the edge if I was a judge. Just out of curiosity how many judges are there?
The third shoe would tear up a wood floor.
Top class
Incredible!
These shoes cannot be for walking. Pure finesse
One of your better videos...well done! (Is it spelled, Wegan...???)
In German it is pronounced vegan.
I really don't understand the #1 shoe, is that just for display or can someone actually wear those?
Off course, but if he can his feet are being donated to medical science after his death.
These aren't meant to be off the shelf wearable shoes. They're meant to showcase techniques and skill in craftsmanship. Like Kirby said, these are the "concept car" of the shoe world. Concept cars aren't meant to be practical, street legal, production vehicles. They're meant to push designers and engineers to their creative and technical limits, and perhaps come up with ideas that could eventually make their way to a production vehicle. Same thing with these shoes.
@@bubkusjones at least a concept car is made to fit a person, this defiantly fits an alien.
So this is a bit like haute couture? Not meant to be worn, but meant to be admired?
Kirby : 21 stitches per inch!
Me : ..........
Kirby : 21 STITCHES PER INCH!
Me: APPLAUSE
Once we get into the top of top level of shoes, it starts to look like things are being done that aren't necessarily better in terms of quality or wear, these features are meant to simply impress people that are already keyed up on shoes. I think higher stitch counts will actually weaken the leather for having more perforations. Does hand stitching uppers actually make them better? Can anyone's foot fit into that first place shoe? Why do the best shoes seem to usually have the toe planted firmly on the ground - sometimes even leaving the ball of the foot suspended off the ground? Doesn't the front of the foot need to roll as it completes a step while walking?
I searched the internet.
No Daniel Wegen shoes.
What's up, he only made 1 pair?
He works at Gaziano & Girling.
He only made 1 shoe
I like the shoes heel is that high heel if so how much
How much the total will be if u send it to Egypt thanks 🙏
Did they rate the different styles in there own category? For instance, did they rate all English style shoes (the 3rd place winner) together? For everyone else, what style is your favorite? I”m beginning to like the look and feel of the shoes made in Spain.
I like the secret one! How can I get in touch with company?
I would take the one from Japan
Great videos thank you for all these informations.
There is a small typing mistake, it is Daniel Wegan and not wegen
Synonyms for "execute": carry out, accomplish, perform, implement, effect, bring off, bring about, achieve, carry off, carry through, complete, enact, enforce, put into effect, put into practice, do, discharge, prosecute, engineer, administer, attain, realize, fulfill; perpetrate; informal: pull off, swing, cut, rare: effectuate.
4:59 - Some wingtip shade....
I’m wearing shoes right now
2:38 - Hearing Kirby talk this way about a pair of wingtips. (I've noticed he really doesn't have that many in his collection) Not a fan of the full brogue in general it seems..
Surely the criteria for the shoes is that they must be able to be worn.
Are you using a four in hand knot? It almost looks like a full windsor in terms of wideness at the top.
The 1st prize went to the most beautiful and well crafted paper weight in the world. It also happens to look like a shoe for some reason.
John Galt, Francisco D'anconia, and Ragnar Danneskjöld. :-)
Honestly in my humble opinion the 3rd place shoe catches my attention more than the other two. Stitch density aside, those heels on the other two look like disasters waiting to happen. I get the technicality but the asthetics just are not pleasing to my eye.
Great video and entertaining as always!
Daniel Wegan's shoe is a museum piece but definitely not wearable. The Corthay heel is very impractical too, lovely to look at but imagine walking over gravel. The craftsmanship on all three is exceptional but the last shapes, to my eye, are not pleasing - all elongated and too pointy. Thank you for this high-class shoe porn.
Karl Delavigne Yes what’s up with these elongated and pointy shoes? The Corthay was the least pointy and it was a beautiful shoe but I don’t think I would feel comfortable wearing it.
i need daniel wegans size 10.5 !! where do i get it?
Guys these shoes are made in order to show your skill, not meant to actually be shoes. Just to show your ability
Needs more followers
What is your opinion on Officine Creative?
Mr Kirby Alison 1 like from India 🇮🇳
I would love to have a pair of Daniel’s 😍 how much we talking for a pair?
Well now Sir Allison❣️ what a great narration of the Bespoke shoes of the world champion shoe makers❣️ they are exquisite and thank you so much for sharing💖🌹✨
Hi Kirby, what product do you apply to your hair? It looks very shiny. 👍
His hair is perfectly executed within an ultra fine area of allowance using the finest products available whenever he needs to make a social appearance with an eloquent and timeless style....
Hair gel bro, he uses gel
Lol the winner shoe looks beautiful but weird. How many people on the earth have that long thin foot like that?
Kirby..my friend. The prononciation is Cor-tay. Il n'y a pas de "tha" en français.🙂
And that's what we call in castellano "un chamullero"
Go ahead ♥🇧🇩
What is the point of a shoe that wouldn’t fit anyone’s feet?
Pretty sure the 1st prize shoe comes with a magical broom that permits flight so no one creases the shoes.
Don’t ask questions , he rarely answers any of them .
Foot binding is needed for the winning pair.
They are concept shoes not to be worn 😃 ok everybody chill!
They should at least fit a normal persons foot.
PBMS123
No they should not and they are not even making a pair.
@@Myrslokstok why shouldn't they?
With the 1st price shoe,you can kill cockroach in the corner!
Is the first place shoe made for a woman's foot?
The only thing missing from the winning shoe is a High heel.
I understand that the final entry in the competition didn't make the deadline because the maker is stitching by hand at a spacing that must be expressed in Angstroms, or hundred millionths of a centimeter. Distinguishing individual stitches requires an electron microscope. Completing the shoe will take several generations of the maker's family, but the result will probably be pretty wearable, provided evolution hasn't reconfigured our feet much at all.
Nobody has narrow enough feet to wear the last piece. So i think it is more like a leather art piece than a shoes. But i dont really enjoy the idea though.
Daniel Wegan... you know in case you want to look him up.
Interested to see what you'd think of a sneaker like yeezys or Adidas or Nike
World Championship in Shoemaking? I'm going down a dark rabbit hole....
Scary watching him handling these shoes with his bare hands. One would think he would wear gloves.
Dear Kirby ' ... What a dazzling display of The Shoemakers art , You have shown us , well beyond where any person ( even a multi millionaire ) would wish to go. The shoes by Daniel' as exquisite , as they are , in my humble opinion are a work of art that should never be worn ' ... BUT ... commended into a museum as they look to my eye as being something that would NEVER be worn in the street; but only reserved for The Palace ' of Louie' the 14th , I have only once in my life ever seen anything like them ' and that was in a display of hand made hoes that were from the 18th century... so no offence indented ' but I think i will stick to my Hand grade shoes from Crockett & Jones of Northampton as the three pairs of shoe's that you showcased today would be well beyond my budget ...
The last one is amazing but can anyone wear it?
"Let's time up the feets on some child so they fit 20 years later" I guess in history there have been a few people that been adapted to these kind of shoes.
My favorite is the number 2, Corthay shoe. The first and third are too feminine.
Is just samples of craftmanship....the practical value doesn't matter...
