I really appreciate you taking the time to make a video about this. Just as a piece of constructive criticism, saying ‘This right here…" and then not pointing at anything is really confusing. You did a couple of similar things through the video and it got quite confusing!
Sad to see great shoes destroyed, but a fantastic explanation! Have been looking a lot of videos, but this is the first time I finally understand the difference:)
to be honest, at one point i thought the difference between good year welt and handwelt was a big deal, but they're both good enough for just office wear and things like that so my main concern is aesthetics and comfort and that's where edward green shines despite admittedly being goodyear welted and overpriced, but i like the look of EG styles and patterns over many bespoke shoes even if the finish isnt as good and is not handwelted.
Exactly, agonising over gemming failure etc on GYW is just ultra nit picking for forum nerds. Really if you're taking proper care of EGs or G&Gs their longevity will outlast you by some margin. I'm in the same boat, aesthetically I love the EG 202, 184 and 606 and they fit me well enough, bespoke shoes would obviously be a step up in fit but not necessarily meaningful improvement in quality or aesthetics. So bespoke/HW is probably something I'll reserve for if I ever have foot troubles in older age.
I believe it’s both. You can see the same thing white line in the heel that you can see peeled back on the toe. But I will do another video and open the upper.
Comfort, look, number of wears are the holy trinity for me. Handwelted or goodyear welted is not make or break for me. To me its overplayed. Those G&G shoes really are something and for trial pair to boot.
I’d say for comfort, numbers of wear, Handwelted will be better. But to clarify, it’s not a trial shoe it is a real shoe but used for trial fitting and display in a store.
@@FlacomanXD you’d be surprised. That’s usually everyone’s assumption but the difference is, the shoes are still designed for the anatomical shape of a foot, but the exterior design elements and proportions are what make it look sleeker than the shapes you’re used to seeing. In my experience, once you try a pair on you’d probably realize they’re more comfortable and there’s a lot more room in the shoes than you expect

99% of shoes sold today are just glued. No stitching. Even Blake stitching is considered luxury

Yeah fortunately it wasn’t a pair, only single sample trial shoes made to the regular level of detail and quality. So no pairs ruined!
Holy moly! You cut a pair of G&G shoes in half! 😮 Extremely interesting, though.
It was only 1 shoe, it was part of a display or. Trial fitting shoe 😁
@@Shellvedge did you shine the trail fitting shoe? 😅 good content, but that still hurt a bit! :) worth it though i would say.
@@remifjelldal7299 although I am definitely insane enough to do that, I didn’t not. They were that way when I got them lol
Finally I think I fully understand the difference ! Thanks for taking the time and sharing this information !
Awesome! Glad to hear!
Man , you’re cutting through my heart 😢😢
I feel like all the comments are going to be about the horror of seeing these shoes cut in half. 😂
They were shoes that were going to be thrown away, so it actually saved them! 💪🏻
Agreed!
Hey man this is a very informative video. Which is to say…great!
Excellent breakdown/explanation! You've got yourself a new subscriber, Sir!
Thank you kindly!
You were way too quick in explaining the stitching in the cut up shoes. But I'll take your word for it.

Wait, the GG don't have real leather counter? Or the celastic is only on the toe cap?

Great video 🔥
Thanks Marcel!

Cant focus. Just trying to imagine how many people have feet shaped like arrows. I would never fit in those shoes!
