Alden Shell make over

[@johngeddes7894]

It’s apparent that we are in the presence of what some call a master craftsman. In the sense of doing all the right steps with no shortcuts, I would agree. Greatresults from this kind of effort.

[@miketovar1424]

It's unbelievable, you sit at the PC and watch for an hour how a pair of shoes are repaired. One rightly asks oneself, don't you have a life of your own? Well it's so relaxing to see a good man mastering his craft and speaking his comments so calmly and serenely. Meanwhile I see it as a kind of therapy to relax. Well done Steve

[@nicholashayes4941]

Again Steve, this is why I send my shoes to you for repair instead of sending them somewhere else. Because I want my shoes done right the first time.

[@ronbuckner8179]

Am I crazy? It's 8:00 on a thursday night and I'm watching a little old cobbler talking to himself, repairing shoes, Is that crazy? Yea,... I guess so...Beats listening to his music.

[@SharonLGrady]

Ppl come to you sir because you do excellent work. I see how you take pride in what you do repairing and making old look new or better. You're a master at your craft. You have allowed me into your world and the fine art of restoration perfected, and l salute you. Keep up that "HAMMER TIME" I LOVE IT.

[@Ricopolico]

You keep saying that you're NOT a shoemaker. Christ, the way you open up shoe, if you aren't a shoemaker, who the hell is?

[@dmack1827]

That is why you should buy at least one pair of shell shoes. They will get you through a career if you look after them. Really nice restoration. Thanks for the welt stitching footage. I finally get how it is done.

[@paulmlemay]

Steve, don't worry. You don't have to fill up the space. Quiet is okay. We just want to see the your good work. Your talking is good, but if you need a break it's fine. We enjoy watching what you do.

I love the longer video that allows you to show the steps in repairing shoes. I love watching the craftsmanship and I bet the owners of the shoes love to watch you bring their favorite shoes back to life.

I always love watching your video. Excellent painstaking craftsmanship. Tremendous transformation compare to the condition the shoes was before.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍

Your hands show how hard you have worked you are a amazing man keep up your brilliant work and humour .Ann

[@1959Berre]

The most expensive pair of shoes I ever bought are handmade and top quality. Today they cost € 200 (about $220). I can not imagine I would ever have seriously worn shoes restored for double that price. But I admire your work. The result is impressive.

[@BrianJoyce-dk2sg]

Never a boring moment with you and your bone. Seriously, I pay attention to you when you trouble shoot a problem. Although I only plan on resoling my own footwear, it's still interesting tou watch you repair different styles of shoes. Great job

Thumbs up for Stevie jobs,he made a miracle out of a worn out shoes , the shoes were in their last breaths really,well done man again and again and again, meanwhile,you are very nice and kind to recommend the other cobblers, that's so sweet and inspiring of you to do that,God bless you dude.

[@golfraven5669]

those saddle shoes look 👌 Love the blue stitching and accents - would certainly fancy a pair

[@hannakinn]

I understand about favorite shoes. I'm glad his shoes were or original high enough quality to warrant repair. Years ago I took a favorite pair of shoes to a shoe repairman and he refused to fix them, he told me they were cheap poorly made shoes and not worth repairing and why was I even consider it, I told him that they fit well and were worn in. The man told me good, quality women's casual shoes didn't need to be worn in and that I should buy better footwear to use what I would've spent on a repair and s bit more money to buy shoes good for my feet. He even gave me some nrand names to check out. I wasn't insulted, I appreciated his honesty and that he was looking out for me. I took boots to him for repair in later years. His shop closed when he was quite elderly and he passed away. It was a real loss for the community. I'm sure I'm not the only one in the community that misses him. He was a community fixture, an artist, a real master of his craft and quite a character.

Personally I love these longer videos especially when Steve is showing more of what he does and how he does it and I love the narration as well like when he was sowing the welt. Another superb job expertly done, as always. :)

[@the-chillian]

Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but that's a next-level intro. Great job! In case anyone wondered if the cost of these repairs are "worth it", yes. The loafers are $765 and the Oxford saddle shoes are $660, at least from the place I could find selling them online. (There are cheaper versions of the loafers in calfskin and without lining; this price is for the Cordovan shell.)

[@kathrynpasteur4211]

Thank you! I knew someone would have looked up this information! I grew up in a middle class home and my mom didn't spend that much money or her shoes or mine, but my parents believed in wearing quality shoes. My dad wore boots and he spent that kind of money for his boots. So his boots were definitely worth that kind of repair. Thanks again for looking that up!

Steve, the people complaining about any music in videos are the types who can’t focus and block out unwanted noise! They are also the types who can’t multitask well! I personally am listening to you and watching Live rescue! Interesting case on live Rescue in this case a 20 year old female with a GSW and broken femur( OUCH). My focus goes to the tv! Once the case is over its back to the phone! I will say that I could use a few extra videos this month, Please! I’m recovering from surgery, it’s garden prep season and I’m on lifting restrictions all month so no garden prepping and as a result I’m slowly loosing my mind!

Alden makes very high quality shoes and boots. I would rather them save a few dollars for sing compressed fiber heel stacks than cutting costs in other areas of construction. It sucks when you get a bad resole job though. You always do too notch work. Fantastic solid reconstruction. Whoever resoled those Cordovan Alden’s before you did not do what was necessary to maintain the quality construction of Alden. They are my favorite shoe maker and I love how you give them love, but still call out where they could do better.

I've been playing gospel music in my shop for the past 4 years. It's to the point where when customers walk in and it's not playing, they say, "Where's the gospel?"

I agree. I too have a hearing impairment, although pretty slight, but in the spectrum of the human voice. That means that background music (or just any sound or noise) tends to disproportionately overpower speech.
