Bringing back a pair of Magnanni shoes.

[@krystalmesh]

It's funny - your channel introduced me to Magnanni and actually make me interested in owning them as I like their designs. Now that I know they sent you a C&D, I'll never buy a pair of Magnanni's ever. Keep up the awesome work Steve.

[@mtbokor1969]

Magnani has cool design but they are overpriced. Blake stitched shoes for $500 plus isnt a good value.

[@leftyk1968]

It should read" Expertly Recrafted by"

[@robertlassiter5808]

One of your best jobs IMHO. And I never get tired of “let’s continue “. It’s one of the things that first endeared me to this channel. Hammer Time is just a nice bonus. Stay the same and be true to yourself because it’s working. Love ya man!

[@johndenyer9555]

I really enjoy watching your attention to detail. I sent you your form indicating that I wanted to you send you a pair of imperials that Bought on EBay but after I received them them they were in excellent condition. So some day I will send them.

[@nickrandol9133]

I’ve adopted his catch phrase myself... I catch myself saying “Let’s continue” all the time, especially at work, to my employees.

[@victorsavin6414]

Let's continue

[@jacirogers9109]

As always great job. We have lost the quality touch, in our hurried world. Do more, be more, run, run, run,. I love the old world quality, time taking, care.

[@kenadair7463]

Great Job, as usual. By the way, the "Hammer Time" and "Let's continue" is part of the charm of your channel and sense of humor. Keep up the fantastic job....OK, let's continue.....

[@TastewithTasha]

No i dont get tired of hearing you say anything...juuuuust love watching you work. It is sooooo relaxing to me.

[@bgray1009]

I wish I had enough money to pay you to do a video everyday, ive watched your back catalogue on youtube 3 times and get excited like a little kid every time a new video comes out lol. love the channel, regards from Aberdeen Scotland

[@MHow-qc3ns]

What a beautiful dog and such a nice relief during this "shelter-in-place". I hope you and yours are safe and healthy. And I am looking forward to more restorations.

[@hotwax9376]

I have a German shepherd at home, so I can agree on the dog.

[@williamsnelling3544]

I would rather have stamped 'Recrafted by Bedo's Leatherworks' than 'Magnanni' any day of the week!

[@tomwatkins4730]

Under your eagle eye & expert hand, you have transformed those M's (I cannot say the word) into real shoes. An Easter resurrection. A blessing to us all.

[@alifan44]

Steve: "To each his own." We are grateful that YOUR "own" is one of high personal and professional standards and outstanding craftsmanship.

[@barbarajohnson6874]

What a joy to watch a master cobbler at work! Thanks for the video!

[@labaom]

My girlfriend walked in on me when I was watching this video during the “hammer time”. It made such a loud noise that she was wondering what I was watching. I instinctively shut the laptop lid as fast as I could and I told her it was (blank) because it was be easier to explain than watching shoe videos on KZbin. Great video as always!

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@markdougherty7796]

That is funny.

[@labaom]

Bedo's Leatherworks LLC In all seriousness though your videos have the most positive comment section outside of animal videos. It is quite refreshing! Your work makes me respect your profession and gives me appreciation for my local cobbler when he works on my Allen Edmonds collection.

[@randicommand2453]

HAHA.. i'm a girl and I subscribe to Steve's channel, AND I watch them any ol' time, day or night. You better tell her about the shoe videos. i think Steve would like another viewer.

[@djtaylorutube]

Shoephilia is legal, she probably is a secret shoe fetishist anyway. Share the love! I have introduced my wife to my shoe fetish, it has enriched our time in the bedroom greatly...we now watch shoe fix and shoe shine videos...together!

[@rocknrev]

Steve, you are an artist. You made those shoes look better all over than when they left the factory. Ignore the negative people.

[@scottspooner6070]

Magnanni should be proud of the fine work you do and thank you for treating their shoes so well. I thank you for an incredible job!

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi Steve 🖐🏼. The shoes Are absolutely beautiful. Awesome job. BRAVO ‼️😃👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏👏 👏💯 💯‼️.

[@PoshBossBlake]

Shocked at the state of the sole as a “finished job” by a different shop when these got sent to you. You made these look SO great and will age well. Fantastic job!!!

[@laurelldockall2399]

PoshBossBlake they were so curled up they looked like clown shoes before Steve made them into a masterpiece.

[@MrStudzdog]

A master painter paints the entire background even if he covers it up with the foreground. The artist knows it's there. That's like details on the bottom of a shoe. Beautiful work.

[@romandybala]

Regardless of what was paid before , I would happily pay the price to have shoes put right with your skill and determination.

[@76irodriguez]

It is a pleasure to watch someone that knows what they are doing work their 'magic'. I understand nobody is perfect, but i know how you feel when you have to fix somebody else's horrible work. Some people just don't care, they just want a quick buck and kick you out the door.

[@melijegasini2014]

You are a magnificent craftsman & a Master of your trade! I am a Cultural Anthropologist. As a part of my career, I note the make and techniques of clothing, shoes, and accessories that different cultures wear. In my opinion, you personify one of those unique, creative, and talented artists, and craftsmen, that we call "Cobblers". I pray you pass your knowledge on to future generations. You are an enigma in that you pull ideas for pure trash out of your mind and apply them to actual objects, producing a work of art in the process. Thank God craftsmen like you still exist! Carry on!

[@suzismith9681]

Its enough to make you cry... bad repairs, I've had enough of them myself. It's so good to see someone willing to rectify a bad job. Many shoe repair won't touch them , where I live, so your stuck with it... but NOW , we all know where to go to , the master himself, like no other,.....Steve at Bedos ! Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@chriskarrer8889]

You are a craftsman second to none. I can see how you enjoy your work. You also brought back memories in another video about straightening nails, I had to do that in my childhood for the same reasons.............keep it up with these wonderful videos. also, I used to love to visit shoemakers as a child just for the smell of glue and leather...................priceless.

[@seekingtruth6822]

I can't seem to understand as to why anyone would give this video a thumbs down? I can understand maybe, just maybe they don't like you Steve, but the craftsmanship is undeniably better than shoe factory results. Thank you again for your fine work Steve. We enjoyed your video and dialogue. Take care and Godspeed brother.

[@BlastReadingSeries]

Did Magnanni really come on here and give this a thumbs down? Haters... Great video, thanks for sharing your craft with us!

[@TheBoomsonic]

Not only you are a master of your craft, but you make it a point to pass on your experience and teachings for the new guys. I can imagine how many people new to this would be appreciating your work. Nothing is more valuable than the teachings of an experienced craftsman.

[@markdougherty7796]

You’re a magician, Steve. Beautifully done.

[@johnearhart8811]

After that, know I'll never buy their trash shoes. You made them REAL SHOES!!!.Awesome work Steve. Thanks for sharing.

[@ronniemw5022]

I don't want to sling too much shit cause I'm not a cobbler and know nothing about shoe repair, but it looks like whoever got their hands on those shoes before you gave them the ol' payless special. Great work, it's always great to watch someone who is knowledgeable and passionate with their trade, and now I'm binge watching your videos

[@mrshally454]

What a good looking pup, he’s very handsome. And amazing work like always.

[@jessefugate8154]

I always thought u was a good fella but whenever u introduced Zeus to us on this video I knew right away that u are a great great guy! U may have introduced him before on other videos thus is my first time seeing him. And like how u said yeah u can buy 5 pairs of shoes for the cost to repair these I think if that type of people are on here to run their mouths well they need to go watch videos on buying new shoes.. we that love watching u show us how to restore shoes purses etc... really appreciate and understand why u are restoring these items because they normally have a personal meaning to the customers. Thank u for everything sir! And let’s not forget ...🔨🕰!🤪

[@Rayshader]

Your award winning restorations speak of an eye for detail. This speaks of appropriations from experience beating the original. Respect!

[@COFFEEWITHJIM]

I have a few Magnanni's and really like them. It's nice to see Steve put this pair back together! Oh, and the German Shep steals this video.

[@giovanisoprano5161]

Steve I have been watching other cobblers on KZbin lately and you truly are the most skilled and talented cobbler I have seen. I talked to you a few months ago about going to one of the cobblers here in my city of Houston and I have been back to his shop twice. Although after seeing your attention to detail compared to other cobblers I have made the decision to send my shoes over to you from now on to get repaired. I look forward to doing business with you in the future!

[@kikbob8766]

Steve- Magnificent work! I really enjoy your attention to details and your craftsmanship! Also when you add your “cherries “ to the work you do is what I enjoy most- “ a craftsman creates for others and an artist creates for himself.” Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.

[@evilspock4714]

This is one of my favorite videos you’ve done. I keep coming back to watch you turn them into a GEM.

[@michaelsilva7085]

It’s your channel, you say whatever you want to say! My opinion is that it like “hammer time” and “let’s continue”. 👍

[@s2020-k8w]

Btw, you should make your own line...craftsmanship you have..a pair of bedo's shoes...in years to come would be priceless! Ltd editions! I'll be ordering!🇬🇧

[@zombeemom]

We all love you Steve, but it's obvious Elvis is in the building when Zeus makes an appearance! 🤣🐶❤️ When he popped up at the beginning I caught myself smiling from ear to ear. What a wonderful pair you are! 👍🏼⭐️😀

[@johnthreefifteen]

Another great project. As always, the difference is in the details.

[@ktblue9462]

I love the detail to your work , it is just awesome . I love your craftsmanship and how much you care about other peoples belongings. You are an awesome person . Thank you for the videos. When I need repairs I will be using you.

[@Si74l0rd]

The way the manufacturer puts the piece in to give it a fiddle waist shows they know what people look for in a quality shoe, it's just a shame they hide a pile of crap under the sole instead of using quality materials. I'll definitely steer clear of Magnalli, if I'm paying a premium I would like a premium product, having nice quality leather uppers and a fiddle waist hides the paper footbed and paper welt. At the least I'd have expected a leather welt, they're not cheap and leather welt isn't super expensive nor a large amount of material. You're a real eye opener! Of everything I've seen you or anyone else repair I think the John Lobb shoes and boots have had the best constructed footwear. The heel rand is always tight to the heel, big wooden shanks that don't seem to break, even if they may need regluing once apart. Beautiful stitching and high quality materials all the way through. That's what separates a shoe under a grand from one over a grand, but to be honest you do get significantly better value for money when they can be resoled that many more times. You've opened my eyes to the difference between quality footwear and brands charging for quality footwear but not delivering on a high enough level. As goes for the detailing of the leatherwork on the sole, I have several pair where part of the pattern has become worn, but the places where it's not worn the pattern is still there and makes the sole look more highly crafted, as it is

[@AaronsRandomLife]

We love you Steve! Your customers appreciate all the time and effort and extra details you do for us. Don’t ever let someone say that you shouldn’t wheel the soles or do a special dye job.

[@nickrandol9133]

Very cool and generous that you complete the job to a suitable and quality condition, for no upcharge. Very cool. This is the definition of integrity.

[@MeowMeow-ij9dk]

Excellent video. Fight the power, Steve, who cares about Magnanni’s since Bedos does better work.

[@janwilliams178]

[@dirkg7062]

Steve, You are a true master of your craft. You do things better than original. Those shoes and all your projects look beautiful. I will never get sick of "Hammertime" and "Lets continue" The fact that you didn't charge more money even though you should have, speaks volumes of the kind of man you are. As a matter of fact, the world needs more people like you in it. Recrafted by Bedo's Leatherworks is a great idea. Thank you for sharing these videos for us and like always, can't wait for the next one.

Nice recrafting of the Magnanni shoes. No surprises there!

Steve. Just wanted to say as someone who is post a 12 hours shift at a hospital in the UK; your videos are my medicine to get through it all. Thanks 🙏🏽 and don’t worry, I don’t want some brand name on my shoe, I’m honestly waiting for the day that I can have reCRAFTed by BEDO’s leatherworks on my soles 👍🏽. Stay safe everyone.

[@amunarjoh]

I don´t know what it is... I know how this movie ends. It´s always a perfectly handcrafted repaired pair of shoes. But watching the process, having the "lets continue" and "hammer time" served at the perfect moment just makes my day. Heck, I even watch replays.... Thanks!

[@discoveryman59]

LOL Magnanni is worried someone will see a colleague wearing a pair of your re-crafted Magnanni shoes. I can hear the phone conversation now "Hello Magnanni, I think I got a pair of defective shoes".

You made those shoes a lot better than new and the owner needs to wear them out to fully appreciate the fine craft work he's wearing.

Great job as always Steve - you never let anything leave your hands that isn't better than what the customer thought they were getting ... always a little extra - you are a true gem of a crafstman.

[@jonathanrobinson9208]

Wow...that's really petty. They COULD"NT have watched any of your work before sending such a letter out. Taking their poorly constructed soles and re crafting them so the customer could enjoy them for years to come is their problem. They just want the customer to buy another pair ! Higher end companies boast that their shoes can be re-soled, that's the hallmark of fine craftsmanship ! LET'S CONTINUE....👌❤

[@fredygump5578]

Ha! Steve, I think after the work you did, they qualify as being new shoes.

[@lawannarobinson9900]

Amazing results, I am certain the customer will be satisfied. Love the touches you add to the shoes. Very unique.

[@MontrealMusiciansExchange]

[@barneykennett9282]

That was a superb repair Steve, the difference is night and day...👍. Hammer time...😍😍. From the film, The Big Lebowski , the little touches really brings the shoes together, apart from the laces. Magnannis head office, jealous of your superior craftsmanship.

[@brentreed9065]

You think the company that is complaining would be SO HAPPY to get the free advertising. That and a person would spend the cash to get it fixed. I really enjoy your watching you work your magic bring the old back to new. You rock and of course so does Zeus.

[@ncooty]

@36:19: In fairness to Magnanni, they probably didn't have a problem with what you were doing. The more likely issue is that under intellectual property law, if they let somebody else stamp their name on a product (even their own recrafted product), it undercuts their ability to enforce their trademark claim against future misuse by other people (e.g., counterfeiters). It's a common claim by trademark abusers that the trademark holder has abdicated their trademark by failing to enforce it proactively. Hence, these sorts of cease-and-desist letters. It's almost certainly nothing against you or what you were doing _per se._ Just imagine what it does to their brand, though, if the previous repair had been stamped with their name... or if some jackass started stamping _Magnanni_ on the bottom of junk shoes. Imagine if the next repair on those shoes is done by some fly-by-night jackass who ruins the soles, but stamps the bottom with your name because that's what was on the old soles. I'm sure you'd be unhappy... and since you can't really approve or disapprove every instance, it's wiser just to disallow it across the board. I wouldn't take it personally at all, and I wouldn't hold it against Magnanni.

[@kalamoj]

Thank you for writing this. I also happen to work for an european one-brand family company and we have to do this quite often. No one likes to send C&D letters, but you have to if you don’t want to loose your business.

[@whiskey723]

I'll add one more lil nugget.. they were probably MORE upset it didnt say "Made in Spain"

[@claa3009]

Well stated, particularly paragraph 4. I wonder what Steve's reaction would be after notified that another cobbler was stamping their repair work with "Bedo's Leatherworks" on refurbished shoe soles-- but in their case, instead of doing an outstanding job, "...who ruins the soles, but stamps the bottom with your name because that's what was on the old soles". I wouldn't be surprised if Steve got perturbed, and rightly so. Doesn't use of a brand logo require authorization from the owner of the trademarked logo?

[@lamagra22]

It's one thing to enforce a trademark but if all they really had a problem with was his putting their name back on their own shoe, then they could have followed up with granting him an official (and legal) license to continue to do so. In this way they enforce their trademark but then also don't look like a writhing pile of dicks with a simple cease and desist letter.

[@notasheeple2926]

lamagra22 exactly! He is so honourable all he wants to do is be as true to the authentic product as possible. You can see it in his attention to detail and the little “ extras “ he adds outside of the quoted job, because he truly cares about quality workmanship!

I actuallly like the time you take to add those little touches to your work, it means some had taken the time and effort. When I repaired cycles, I didn't have to clean them or add in some new cables or fluids while I repaired the gears.. but I did, because thats who I am.
