I agree, he absolutely made a better shoe, and based on the original quality, I’d never buy a Cole Haan. Their shoes can go for between $120 to $400 a pair. With that being said, the customer was fairly foolish IMHO to have this repair done based on his initial agreement. He could easily replace this shoe for close to what he paid for the repair. Now, the real value here is what he did to make the shoe better and not charge him for it. Without a doubt, this was an exceptional job and I enjoyed watching it.

I have bought quite a few pairs of department store ready to wear shoes like Cole Haan and Johnston Murphy because I didn't know any better, they fit my budget, and gave me enough value for the dollars that I had to spend. I've learned something more about shoes lately. Especially, enough to recognize the beautiful piece of work was done here.

C-H is really a fashion shoe. In about six months to two years you (usually) wouldn't be caught wearing them. Loud and brash - which could be good or bad right?

Other brands like Allen Edmund look the same as 50 years ago but again good or bad. Depending on what you want.

At a Cole Haan store some 20 years ago they offered three cap toe black Oxfords, looking more or less alike. But one was $650, one $350, and one maybe $225. Maybe the top of the line was not shamelessly compromised, but at that time Ferragamo were on sale down the street for maybe $500, and AE Park Avenues were under $200 on sale. Over the years I’ve found Aldens and other good makers for under $200, so I never really wear anything till it’s really beat up. I’ll replace sole once in a blue moon, a heel a bit more often, but I regret my life plan doesn’t see me going all in for a major reconstruction (that in average hands would ruin the fit anyway.)

I've always been under the impression that Cole Haan's were quality made shoes. I've even owned a few pairs in my lifetime. And as I was watching this video it occurred to me that I had to have those shoes repaired. Every single one of them, while several other pairs that were worn about the same amount of time outlasted them. Also, another great video! I was on vacation and when I finally got home I was excited to get on KZbin to see if there was a new upload...and bam! Always great work and videos!

Your channel is so great. Thanks. It is so fascinating to see how shoes are constructed and your techniques for repair and improvement. Thanks!
