When Raphael commissioned a bespoke pair of shoes from St.Paul, Minnesota-based shoemaker Amara Hark-Weber, we filmed every stage of the process to show exactly how custom footwear is made. From start to finish, we documented each step of the full commission: from measuring the feet to burnishing the final sole.

Below, you’ll find two ways to join us on this fascinating journey:

• A single 4-hour “super-cut” that stitches the entire production cycle into one immersive film.
• A step-by-step episode list that dives deep into each craft stage, so you can jump straight to the part that interests you most.
