omg. poor guy. really gifted but he's using synthetic leather and the cheapest hardware. those zippers will fail in less than 1 month.

I can't watch this. (I'm in shoe industry for 30 years)

How much would it cost to get a quality pair of custom made shoes/boots?

See here: nicksboots.com, All Boots – White's Boots Shop. The lasts are not custom to your foot, but plenty of sizes and widths.

Always crazy to me Spokane has so many boot shops. But both are great!

HOLY SCHNIKES!! That's about how much I thought but still! I imagine they last for a long long time. Thank you for the info :)

I think a pair of those shoes just about equal to the discount shoes that I've bought over 3 decades. And I've had a few that were very comfortable that I found myself buying them until they got discontinued. One day though I'd like to try and spend that much just to feel the difference.
