Great to see a traditional craft in our throw away culture. I've learnt over passed couple of years having restored some 1936 RAF flying boots all by hand including outsole stitches and welt. One thing I struggle to find is the gemming tape or feathering tape for the welt. As it's a hobby for me I don't have access to wholesale which is a pain.

What a fantastic job! Superb skills and such care and attention to get a fabulous end result!

Another wonderful project, this is great to see ❤️

Just wonderful to watch ❤

Great job, I really like and apreciate your craftmanship!! I saw this video recently by chance. I might have very similar pair of golf shoes to be repaired, I will contact you by your Web-site….best greetings from Germany, have a wonderful weekend, Harald

Please use the strap when you hammer new soles😮

Lovely job, If you dampen the soles for half an hour with wet kitchen towel, when you slick the soles, if you go at it hard enough you can almost not only press down any stitch marks, but partially close the stitching channel.. and the soles will look like glass. Lovely slugging pattern on the heels too.

Andy and crew restored my much loved vintage Bass Weejuns to better than factory new. I'll never use anyone else, ever again. Just a brilliant craftsman !

I love Loakes, they feel a good quality shoe at a reasonable price. It's nice to know that my shoes can be repaired rather than thrown away.

That is easily a $350.00 upgrade on those. To get a standard sole replacement on my Iron Rangers is $175.00,. That is fantastic artwork you performed on those shoes.👍

Poor shoes.

Great job!

Great video, serious attention to detail and lovely story about shoes 👟 👏

Just found your video I’ve watched so many over the last few years I’ve subscribed to yours now My favourites are Steve Bedo in USA and Cobbler G up In Edinburgh I find this subject very satisfying Looking forward to part 2 Thanks Where are you in uk btw ? 👍👍👍

Fantastic craftsmanship…and value, given said cost! Cheers mate! 👍🏽

Un trabajo excelente 👍🏻

A true Artisan

Sublime rénovation qu'elle est la paire de chaussures qui vous avez eu entre les mains et qui vous a laissé un souvenir extraordinaire ?

honestly never thought that I'd be watching a video of this nature, but the guy is a true craftsman, & his enthusiasm is infectious. really impressed with the transformation, great video, thank you

that lucky customer got a bargain. great craftsman

👌👌👌✌️✌️✌️👍👍👍

Most entertaining and informative. Thanks from Iceland, where leather soled shoes are not a great idea for 6 months of the year! Dainite rubber soles on my various Loake brogues do the job though. Great channel.

Awesome work Sir!

Great video and quality workmanship. Loved it

awesome video... wish there were more close ups on the final product

Nicely done - I can see myself sending you mine for repair when they need it

Keep doing the utube videos enjoy watching very informative 👍

The ranger is the best tool

Details matter, God bless ya👌

Great video !!

Amazing job indeed

Please sir, wear your apron with pride👍👍👍 A true professional craftsman.

Great work !!!

Super work! True craftsman….

This is truly amazing work. Just an artist at work. The thing that ruins it for me is leaving the old nails that held the heel on. Why not just hammer them out and remove.

Superb job! The workshop reminds me of the clog makers shop my Dad's friend owned in the '80s

You do great work at a reasonable price. Love how these turned out. You sure did a lot of detail work and buffing while you were waiting for the red shoe laces to arrive!

Tremendous painstaking craftsmanship.

Absolutely fantastic craftsmanship- they turned out beautifully. The owner is a lucky guy 😜😜😜

Fantastic looking shoes them, finished repair better than factory 🔥

What is the cost?

I got interested in leather care and shoe repair videos because I wanted to learn how to maintain my leather golf shoes. So this video was a dream come true!! It was fantastic and so informative. You made those shoes better and longer lasting with your devoted work. And at 110 pounds you created a masterpiece that will last for many more years. I'm sure the customer was delighted.

Also, that's a gorgeous boot with the vibrams on there. They were made for each other.

Did you put any acetone on the vibram sole to get rid of any of the excess oil on it before putting the glue on? I noticed you didn't rough it up.

You need me on them uppers mate 😉 .. lovely to see you at work Andy 💪🏼

These are my sandals!! I loved the bronze leather so much and they reminded me of my holiday in Sorrento where I bought them, made to measure as I have a high instep. Hopefully, I will get another two years out of them. Good job!

That’s superb- redwing should take a leaf and offer those vibrams. Look spot on 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

So nice video

Kese ho Bhai

Love seeing quality craftsman working their skills. Feel a visit to chesterfield coming on 😋
