Convert Heels to Classic Front | Modern Oval Toe Makeover Tutorial

[@dianedonnachie2794]

The hands of a man who has known hard work. Great job.

[@SaaharaGlaude]

I'm a Shoemakers daughter & this brought overflowing tears to my eyes because I grew up watching my Father in his shop & handing him tools. He was born in 1900 (over 100 years ago) - made me later in life & was a real traditional Shoemaker. Watched him so many times rebirth old worn shoes! This was amazing. Can't stop crying. Thank you so much!! Also! SUPER JOB!!!

[@LeatherCraft_Mastery]

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt story-it truly touched me. What a beautiful connection to your father’s legacy! It’s amazing to hear about his traditional craftsmanship and the passion he passed down. Knowing this video brought back such cherished memories means the world to me. Thank you for your kind words and support-it’s stories like yours that inspire me to keep sharing this craft. ❤

@@НинаВасильева-ж2ы сейчас таких мастеров не найти. Как раз новые доро6ие сапоги с таким носком и туфли дорогие лежат, как бы их переделать так, чтобы носить

[@Elena-m6q8c]

Тоже самое, очень много обуви было на каблуках с длинными и квадратными носами, одеты были буквально раза 2-3, ( сама высокая , особо в каблука не нуждалась, просто нравились и покупала). Пришлось все раздать, уже и возраст. Жалко, что таких мастеров практически нет, да и стоимость такой переделки очень дорогая. Теперь обувь только удобная....

[@sonsida7844]

@@Elena-m6q8c я бы отдала на переделку. Сейчас тоже не покупаю экстравагантную обувь. Обувь должна быть не столько остромодной, сколько качественной и удобной. Остроносая обувь неноская, носок забирается, а высокие каблуки на выход только, занимает место в шкафу. Если не надо часто носить на выход, смысла нет. Пустая трата денег.

You reminded me of the old cobbler who worked in a little shop under our apartment block in Rome, when I was a little girl in the 1950's.... I spent hours just sitting there watching him work. May he rest in peace. And may you use these wonderful skills for a long time, and may you be able to pass them on to someone young...

[@LeatherCraft_Mastery]

Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt memory. It’s touching to hear how the cobbler’s craftsmanship left such an impression on you. These traditions truly connect us to the past, and it’s an honor to carry on this art. I hope to inspire others, just as that cobbler inspired you, and to pass these skills on to future generations. May his soul rest in peace. ❤️

[@jackiea2457]

From old to new. ❤ I could watch you work all day long. Proof you’re a master at your craft; by not only the hands of a working man, but the way you free hands with everything. Especially cutting the tips off without measuring, brilliantly done. The after shoes bought back fond memories. After my accident, I didn’t wear high heels for a while. There was a sale on shoes, and I bought a pair, duplicate to the after. I decided to break them in while recuperating. As I walked back and forth, the constant ouch and limping was too much. They hurt my feet tremendously. I decided to give my feet a break, and returned to my socks. I heard this commotion, and realized my fur baby was no longer by my side. Previously he had accompanied me as I walked around. As I got closer to my bedroom door, he was growling and viciously going at something. It was my shoes. He had bit up the heels and the front. The soles were pulled out. His teeth marks were all over. My shoes were ruined. I felt like crying. As he noticed me standing there in shock, he came and licked both of my feet. Then turned, and barked at my shoes. He looked up at me with joy on his face. In his mind, he had rescued me from my tormentor; the pain from my new shoes. All I could do was laugh because I knew he was not being spiteful. His actions were showing love towards me. Both shoes are nice. But my go to dress shoes are the pointy ones. I love those types of shoes. Especially with my dress slacks. They give the illusion of elongating the legs. That hint of sexiness with my suits, professional wear gives me confidence. I don’t care if the heels are a bit thick of narrow. Only downside, sometimes the creases from being so pointy. Excellent job sir. I’ll be looking forward to more of your videos ❤❤❤

[@LeatherCraft_Mastery]

Thank you so much for sharing this heartfelt story and for your kind words about my work! ❤ Your fur baby truly showed such a sweet, protective love for you-it’s amazing how our pets can sense when we’re in discomfort and try to help in their own way. Your story brought a big smile to my face! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and that it sparked such fond memories. Pointy shoes do have that perfect mix of elegance and confidence, don’t they? I completely understand the love for how they complement dress slacks and professional outfits. I’ll definitely keep making videos that celebrate the beauty and versatility of shoes like these! Thank you again for your support-I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my future projects! ❤👞✨

OMG! I’m 70, and they looked old, dated and painful! Yes, I was stupid enough once upon a time to be “ fashionable “, and I paid the price! It’s always inspiring how recyclable many things are in the hands of a true craftsperson! Bravo! As an afterthought though, they still are not advisable for other than very short periods. I often wore very high heels, not for fashion, but to see eyeball to eyeball with power players…it really does play into societal communication dynamics. That may be unfortunate, but it’s true. So, a word of caution to males that think women all wear the to be “ sexy”…sometimes it’s absolutely NOT the case. 🤣😉

[@LeatherCraft_Mastery]

Thank you so much for sharing your story and perspective! 😊 It's incredible to hear from someone with experience and wisdom on both the practicality and impact of high heels! Fashion can indeed come with a cost, and you’re so right-sometimes it’s about feeling empowered rather than “sexy.” I’m glad you enjoyed the recycling aspect, too. True craftsmanship can bring fresh life to these pieces, making them a bit more comfortable and beautiful without compromising on style. Thanks again for watching, and I truly appreciate your thoughtful insights! 🙏✨

[@AstraSystem]

I used to always wear heels to work because I look much younger than my age. The heels with business casual/business attire made people treat me more professionally. Other employees looked their age and could afford to dress down. Fortunately, I at least look like I'm in my late 20s to early 30s now (I'm 41). When I was starting out as a therapist in my late 20s/early 30s, I would often be mistaken as a teenager unless I had my power heels, button downs, vintage jewelry, and business or vintage dresses. I'm only 5'2", so the heels would make me 5'6" or 5'7", and that really helped a lot. I screwed up my left knee from years of wearing those heels 5 to 6 days a week, though. Now, I can only comfortably wear very low 2" heels.

[@LeatherCraft_Mastery]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It’s amazing how much of an impact heels can have on the way people perceive us, especially in professional settings. I totally get the power heels effect - they can really boost confidence and presence, especially when height and appearance play into how others respond. I’m sorry to hear about your knee, though. It’s a reminder of how important it is to find a balance. Luckily, there are so many stylish options now in lower heels! Thanks again for bringing this up; it’s a real inspiration for those navigating similar experiences in the workplace.
