Michael Kristy aka The Iron Snail is one of our favorite YouTube inhabitants, thanks to his legitimately unique approach to reviewing, historicizing, and manufacturing crazily high-quality footwear and clothing.
I sat down with Michael on the Shoecast to chat about his favorite historical nuggets from the footwear he’s covered, how he manages to deliver accurate information in a world that often lacks it, where his collaborative footwear projects are going, how damn hard small-scale manufacturing is in the US and basically anywhere, and how and why people start caring about expensive stuff that’s actually made the right way.
Give Michael Snail a listen or watch below!
