$40 TARGET Shoes Are Taken Apart and UPGRADED | Shoes GIVEN TO CHARITY

After our Walmart shoe makeover, we wanted to have some more fun. This time, we went to Target and purchased this pair of $40 Goodfellow & Co captoe oxford dress shoes. We disassembled the lower half of these shoes and built them back up using premium materials. This pair of shoes definitely received one heck of a makeover and can now last much longer, due to the upgraded leather welt, British-made Dainite rubber soles and heels, and leather heel blocks. This pair has been delivered to the Nashville Rescue Mission, and we hope this pair of shoes will help someone out.

Much respect to your company for all you do for charities and homeless shelters! I was once homeless, and I really appreciated all the help I was given to start my life over after dealing with addiction. The one thing I really cherished more than the clothes was finding nice pairs of dress shoes for interviews. It was a godsend to find nice dress shoes. So now that I've overcome that hurdle in life, I donated my dress clothes and dress shoes to a shelter, plus a myriad of household items. One thing I can say is that whomever picks your donated items really appreciates that item. So peeps continue donating to your favorite shelters and charities for your gift will save a life and will help continue the cycle of sharing.

[@kevinstewart4579]

I know I've said this before, but what I love about the shoe rebuilds is how you both go into such detail - it's great that you explain the reason behind each step, as opposed to merely showing it. Wonderful work, guys!

Thanks, Kevin! Glad you enjoy them.

Never thought I'd be subscribed to a shoe cobbler channel but there is just something so satisfying watching these 2 skilled gentlemen sharing their craftsmanship. I love watching these videos where they donate to the less fortunate...why you ask... just because they are in a position and can. God bless em! Keep it up fellas!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you so much. We are truly blessed!

[@phyllisanngodfrey6137]

I never knew anything about shoes, but I am 71 and remember when there were a lot of cobbler shops in Baltimore. I have always believed that you get what you pay for. Seeing the inside of these cheap shoes validates my belief.

[@novembermiss]

These "from a sow's ear to a silk purse" transformation videos are my favorites. So ignore the naysayers with their "why waste your money?" comments! Quality workmanship and it's all for a good cause. These shoes will wear beautifully for someone in need. Thanks not only for the video but also for what you're doing to help the less fortunate.

I find the build differences between cheap shoes and more expensive one interesting. So that made the video worthwhile for me. I have seen cemented shoes, and now, melted shoes. It would be interesting to see how a pair of Doc Martens would be resoled by T&H

Out of the box these shoes don't look too bad. They will obviously wear out very fast, but for the odd occasion they'd do.

[@yme3267]

That's all they are really. Early starter shoes. They can fake it for awhile.... but if you know what to look for you can tell

[@ladyeclectic]

Agreed. Out of the box with a nice toe shine, it would probably be enough to impress on a corporate interview. Wouldn’t last as long after that I think, but it would do the trick initially or with special occasion/very light use.

[@jameslatimer3600]

I had four pair of Florsheim shoes. loafers. On the very first wearing the crappy foam soles fell apart. I took the to a shoe repair shop in Barrie, Ontario. Get It Done. They were like moccasins without the sole. There was no welt. The tops are not top quality leather either. But with the shoes done I think those shoes will last for the rest of my life. I'm 90, eh? They were so good I had all four pair done. Shoe repair is reborn. So, enjoyable to watch skilled craftsmen at work.

[@anthonygardner400]

Hey guys. Enjoyed the video (surprise, surprise :), including the Nashville trip. But, the thing I most appreciated was the demonstration of the good human beings that your are - way more important than any shoe!

I know this is an old video but I wanted to say that I appreciate this type of content much more than other channels that cut in half/destroy perfectly good shoes that could be going to people who need shoes, or just clothing in general. Watching this video was just as informative on how these shoes were constructed, and someone got to wear them at the end. Win/win.

This was fascinating to me. I've never had the opportunity to learn shoe repair but remember the old days when Dad (and Mom sometimes) would have their good shoes & boots re-soled. So I'm no stranger in the shoe repair shop on the customer side of the counter. As a seamstress, I understood the concept, but this is a specialty craft. I've taken a few pair of shoes apart at the end of their useful life, just to check it out.....yes, that's nerdy. Thanks for doing this guys. I'll be back for more.

Because of this channel and you two I picked up a pair of used Brooks Brothers Oxford shies in need of a resole including the Goodyear leather welt. So far I got one apart and it has been re-soled once. You make the breakdown look so easy, it took me a good 2 hours just to get the strange heel off, nails out, the welt stitches out and the rubber stuff they put in out. I need to make a last of my feet and I want to reshape the toe a bit. I am hoping to get them less than hard bottom and less weight. And have an outstanding pair of shoes. Thanks for the confidence.

These are my favorite types of videos. I love what y'all do and it is such a joy to watch. Whoever gets that shoe is one lucky dude. I really like the look of them. To me, they look tough, more masculine. Yeah the uppers are not that great, we got it. Just looking at them though. Not many people could tell, just by looking at them, especially after the work y'all put into them, that these are Target shoes. Well they ain't Target shoes any more! I know I'd be happy to get those, no matter if I was down on my luck or not. We Americans need a good shoe with this idea in mind. Good, well made soles that will last. Something that looks tough and won't break down just commuting or running errands but also stylish for the office or a night out.

[@xThemadpoet]

These will be awesome for someone - replacing that crappy particle board insole with real leather and getting rid of that 'save 2 cents' 90% hollow sole will make these last until the upper falls apart. Having had similar shoes in the past - if you attempt to care for the upper at all they always outlast the insole - let alone the sole - these should give someone a good year or more of service without hurting their feet. Awesome job.

[@danjoe22]

Leather foot bed, goodyear welted construction with premium dainite soles and heels and a plastic upper. I love you guys!! Of course what you do makes little sense but you add spice and interest to your channel which I really like.
