The amount of people that are part of this heritage community that didn’t grow up with real problems is obvious. If you’re willing to overpay so much for something, and not even acknowledge the opposing argument, it’s evident how you are as a person. Maybe it’s not that deep, but that’s just what I see.

I really enjoyed the older episodes where it was a discussion between the two host. Don’t care much for interviews.

Very informative, with a lot of knowledge packed into a manageable time. The SDP discord is a terrific bunch of folks too. Haven’t had any negative experiences and I’ve been a member for almost a year and a half. Just a collective of folks trying to help each other out (and occasionally enable…) the buying/selling/ making of high quality footwear. 🤡

I have enjoyed a few episodes of this podcast, so I joined the discord—which is a pack of immature trolls who pick on folks who they don’t deem cool enough. High school mean girl vibes. It’s a shame, because the Stirchdown project seems pretty well intentioned and helpful and has pretty good vibes…until you try to interact with the discord snobs. They skimmed comments, anxious to jump down posters throats and traffic is crude and mean spirited memes which seem meant to degrade those who don’t have their identical pov

Informative, interesting interviews on all things quality boots can bring to your life. I enjoy the leaning process in all things and these two bring the goods!

If you’re like me and you spend a significant amount of time each week watching boot/shoe reviews on YouTube, this show is for you. I’ve learned quite a bit from the hosts and the guest interview episodes are helpful too.

These guys strike the perfect balance between fanatical shoe nerdery and not taking themselves too seriously. Great humor, great guests; great podcast!

Great job! Keep it t going guys! Why do you think of the cheaper US brands, like danner, Chippewa and Thorogood?

Episodes that feature guests - whether Carl M, or Brett Viberg or Lars - they are all great. These guests all bring diverse POVs that are entertaining to listen to. But there are also a bunch of episodes that are just the hosts giving their opinions. These are less interesting.

For anyone remotely interested in the footwear game, The Stitchdown is a must-listen. The expertise of the hosts is matched only by the engaging, personable vibe of the whole show. Keep it coming!

I greatly appreciate the expertise of the hosts, and they find an engaging way to talk about really cool aspects of the shoe world!

If you care about quality boots and shoes this is an absolute must listen. Can’t wait to see what season 2 brings.

Awesome podcast to nerd out to if you’re into quality footwear. Very informative on the background/history of brands and you get some tips and tricks as well.

Anyone with an interest in quality men shoes must listen to this podcast. Not only are the hosts fun to listen to but the subject matter is incredibly informative. As a young college student in the shoe closet, none of my friends understand my interest in quality mens shoes, especially since I am not a fan of Jordans. Here I get to listen to the shoe theory I crave. Love the cast, hope it continues.

Love the podcast, a true gem for shoe nerds

Wonderfully informative pod. A must subscribe for all of us fans of fine footwear. Great chemistry among the hosts and there’s something for everyone. US made, PNY, Northampton shoemakers all represented.

Love the hosts! Learned so much on a subject that there is never enough deep information on!

The hosts have great rapport, creating an easy-to-listen audio experience. Equally as important, the hosts focus on the specifics of the boot making industry, covering well-known to lesser-known manufacturers. Even the most experienced boot enthusiast will find something new and fascinating in this podcast. I’m looking forward to discovering new boot-makers and learning more about my favorite brands. Great work and keep the episodes coming!
