This is NOT something you see everyday! We've had a few alligator hides sitting around for a while & finally decided to turn them into a statement piece.

    I wonder what the decision is for stitching through to the slip sole only when most of their boots are stitched all the way through to the out sole.

    Probably you're not doing anything in these that would necessitate such construction.

    Sewing through the outsole really only makes a difference when a trench is cut for the stitches. Otherwise, under heavy use, you’ll bust through the stitches in a couple months once you wear through about 1/16” of sole rubber. Judging from their past videos, they never cut trenches. So like the guy above me said, I think they’re assuming these are going to be put away somewhere, or used around the house/office.

    @@SergioPena20 not true considering it's a lock-stitch. The locking parts are unseen, so even when the bottoms wear through, internal structure remains.

    Is thw leather itself worse or better for a work boot? (I'm talkin' durability)

    Same question I have. How durable is the skin for a workboot? I'm thinking it's an excellent museum/display boot or casual one, but not for industrial, field, or construction work.

    Worse, it comes down to the leather being thin. Notice that they had to line the whole boot. It will be fine as a casual boot as is, like cowboy boots.

    Когда я работал на стройке, нам выдали по паре таких ботинок, в качестве рабочей обуви. Работать в них удобно конечно, ноги не потеют, наверное из-за того что из кожи крокодила. Воды не боятся, грязи тоже. Мне на 4 сезона хватило. Хорошие ботинки в общем.

    Amazing that a $3000 dollar pair of boots only takes 25 minutes and 32 seconds to make. You've got to wonder why everyone and his brother aren't into cordwaining as a side hustle.

    The value of something is determined by how much someone is willing to pay. I’m assuming some guy asked for a quote and said yes when they told him $3000. It’s like Jackson Pollock paintings. All he did was literally pour paint onto a canvas, but someone somewhere decided they were willing to pay millions to own one.
