11 ways to save money on boots: https://stridewise.com/best-boot-deals

My final video in Indonesia is a trip to one of the most mysterious, low key, and coveted brands: Onderhoud Handmade. Helmed by Rizky Afnan, the entire enterprise is comprised of four people, they make two or three pairs of boots per week, and they have a waitlist of 6 months or more. Rizky keeps his team small because he wants to stay hands on with his product and because he wants his business to double as an incubator for the next generation of bootmakers.
