That was an impressive job. The attention to detail on the finishing was impressive.

It's amazing how janky heel stacks look for awhile, and then they end up perfect. It really is the small details with engineers, and you guys nail em! Thanks for sharing another look into the process

I am so glad to see another video from y'all.

That heel stack though. 😮

Amazing work. They look great

I would've been tempted to convert those to 360 degree welt

Awesome!

So glad to have another video! What dictates when you use leather instead of cork to fill the gemming void? I'm thinking of getting leather on my next rebuild, but I've never seen a video discussing the pros and cons. Cheers

Maybe the customer specified that the leather be used instead of cork? From what I’ve gathered that leather won't break apart like cork filling over time of wear and tear. Leather is also more expensive.

@@wonkydonkey7899 I think you are correct, but this is our speculation. I'd like the actual answer from the pro, there might be something we are missing. Cheers

Thanks for the question! @wonkydonkey7899 nailed it. The customer did request leather filler, and yes the leather wont deteriorate like cork will over a long period of time. But leather is more expensive than cork. There's also no problem using cork as long as you replace it every resole. Using leather or cork will both work as filler. Hope this answers your question.

@@UnsungHouse Thank you for your answer. If I may, here is a follow up question. Is there a comfort difference between leather and cork? If not, is it more cost effective in the long run to use leather? My thinking is, with leather you wouldn't need to remove the midsole to replace the cork every time a new outsole is replaced. Am I correct?

very nice work, I'm wondering if you had to custom order lasts with that heel height?

Thanks for the kind words. We were able to use our custom PBD lasts for this relast. With lasts there is usually a window for the heel height and what will still balance correctly. For this pair the heel height was close to the highest we could probably go for these lasts.
