The Gallery

This is a photo gallery for members of the forum. Here you can share photos of your latest work for members to view. Like an Art gallery, however, where the exhibits come and go, photos will be deleted on a regular basis to save room on the server. Beauty, like Art, is fleeting.

Very nice and clean Valeriy.
I like the wrapped welt, the way you did the color separation.
I'm also impressed by the way you stitched in the lace stay panel.
It makes me wonder how it would be called in English?
Thank you for sharing.

The shine takes fabulously on this one, not really that surprising though since its waxed hide or brush-off leather.
Is your's/your father's store still open? There's a lot of bad rep on Yelp which had deterred me from visiting...

By the way, very nice youtube channel!

Thanks, I tried very hard. You slightly misunderstood: this is not my first pair, I just never made shoes for the clown)))

P.S.: i'm sorry, my English is very bad...

Nice looking shoes Fabrizio esp. for someone just getting into the Trade.

You mentioned in your Registry post that we should correct your English...I'm not going to do that but I will put this bug in your ear. It is a contradiction in terms to talk about handmade and Goodyear. There is no such thing as "handsewn Goodyear welt."

I know that this is a convention among some Italian makers but it is incorrect and I don't think it is good to confuse terminology. We can't talk to each other if we aren't sure what we are talking about.

Goodyear welting takes its name from a machine that Charles Goodyear invented in 1869 (?). If a shoe is Goodyear welted construction it is, by definition, machine welted.

I think what you want to say is that your shoes are "handwelted."

And more power to you. :thumb:

Sorry...yes you are right :bowdown: , my shoes are as you say "handwelted", but I learned this way of calling this shoes by old shoemakers.

Pair of work boots for my "deserving" son. So anxious to wear them, I over-looked a silver pen mark on tongue. Can't say where I got the vamps/counter covers, but it's an oil-tanned leather. Tops are kidskin.
