I watched a YouTube video a while ago where a professional shoemaker cuts this thing apart and discovers that it's actually a pretty darn well made piece of footwear. Like, quality materials and good construction and everything.
All other ridiculous aspects of these boots aside, at least it's well made.
Rose anvil?
Yes - that's the one. Really cool channel if you're into shoes and boots, if you just like to see how things are made
I'm not into shoes and boots, but that guy has thuroughly described why I hate some shoes, why I like some, and which models to avoid or seek. He's a shoe scientist! Everyone that seeks function and quality should watch some of his videos.
This video? The image in the post looks like a knockoff though.
Yep! That's the one! What a great channel!
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
This video?
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Good bot
The legit ones or this knockoff version?
The video show the deconstruction of the legit ones. The name of the channel is Rose Anvil
They are guaranteed to make the wearer « brave and gentle and wise » too!
Rose Anvil's channel does a pretty good job at holding footwear companies feet - or should I say "shoes" - to the fire. I do feel conflicted with some of his opinions on leather vs other eco-friendly options, though.
So we're just reddit now.
What do you mean?
Reddit gimmick is that its an advertising website disguised as a forum.
What it did was collect people with similar interest so they could sell their attention.
This made it easy for the fly by night T-shirt seller or latest alibaba enthusiasts selling the latest trend. Post a meme about the trend. Use a socket puppet account or wait for a comment that said "wow that's really crazy here's a link where you can learn more". In this case its to a video of a channel paid to act impressed by the quality. And then link or suggest where to buy them.
Not saying that's what this is. That stuff happens just naturally. But this type of advertising is insidious and erodes a website quick which is why I hate it so much. And lately i'm seeing more and more posts on Lemmy like this
No! We’re not like the other social networks!
