How to Spot FAKE Shoe Sole Stitching!

In this video I show several examples of shoes that have real Goodyear welting or Blake Stitched soles, and ones that have false (cosmetic) stitching. More and more shoe manufacturers are making it harder and harder to tell a cheap cemented shoe from a well constructed shoe. I show you how to tell the difference, and why you should care. I also show a few clips of some neat vintage NOS shoes I've come across while thrifting.

If you're not familiar with the difference between a Goodyear Welted, Blake Stitched, and Cemented construction shoe, please watch the following video first: "Goodyear Welted vs Blake Stitched Construction Shoes" https://youtu.be/fpEpqJ0eO0g. It will really be a big help to understand that first as a foundation to this video.
