    These pictures take on entirely new meaning in light of Disney’s Grooming Ways

      I think the last pic is from Sound of Freedom.

            Always nice to see an excellent craftsman at work, but I can’t imagine that many hours of labor being worth it except for the most expensive boots.

              I have had leather half-soles replaced on a pair of Florsheim Imperial wingtips. Probably at least a few times, I remember it being a reasonable price.

              Of course this is 40 or more years ago. I don't think this kind of cobbler's shop exists much anymore.

                We have one. Old Chinese guy, Mr. Wing. Great guy, great work. But I no longer wear that type of shoe.

                        That's interesting. Reminds me of the pictures of people with two sets of eyes, and how profoundly disorienting it is to look at. It's all because we have so much software to interpret faces. It's a complex and huge bit of code, and it's relatively easy to make it crash.

                        Education is extremely important.

                          I had shoes resoled too, also 30 years ago or so, but I doubt it was as much work as was put into those boots.

                                          I always wonder whether those things are part of a daily grind, or carefully scripted one-offs. Plenty of the latter in that set. Still cool though.
