Custom Boot Repair : Adding a Shoe Healer Touch to Some Cheaney Tweed R Boots

[@Mk-oy9ns]

They look GREAT ,everyone's got them with dark stitching . They are now Bespoke.

[@shoehealer8853]

Indeed they are, thank you.🙏

[@Blueguci]

The contrast of the natural edging looks great. I’m not too keen on the white thread though, I still prefer the original look. The workmanship is top class. Great video

[@shoehealer8853]

Thank you so much for your comments and your participation. 👍

[@witzendski]

Very well done on achieving a more contemporary / casual look that the customer asked for. Sure, it might not be to everyone's taste but it's not their boots! The stitching and edge finishing is clearly done to a high standard that you wouldn't know that this conversion was not done at the Cheaney factory - great job!!

[@shoehealer8853]

Wow, thank you so much 👍

[@MisterPerks]

it's good to see the line up of all the different jobs Paul has on.. you definitely keep him busy! I really liked the look of the chukka boots with a commando sole - that's a combo I haven't seem much of

[@shoehealer8853]

It’s you guys keeping him busy, he’s been snowed under since that long Churchs video got 50k views. Id get you some photos of those, but they have probably gone out now.

[@jjfarrell9349]

I agree not to everyone's taste, but the customer's always right in that matter. Thanks for the talk through the stitching machine, I'd been puzzled how you always managed to reuse the original stitch holes.

[@shoehealer8853]

You are so welcome!

[@Pete40-b1u]

Look great. Very professional work as ever. All the best Pete

[@shoehealer8853]

Thank you! Cheers!

Honestly I think it looks great

Thank you 😊

Lovely touches. Great workmanship.

Great looking boots. I like them before and after.

[@julianchambers8372]

Looks bloody good mate.

[@shoehealer8853]

Thank you 😊

[@darrenmilo9565]

They look fantastic. Although I don’t think I could have done this without wearing out the perfectly good heel first and jazz it up next time.

[@shoehealer8853]

Thankfully the original heel and heel stack went straight back on, quite a big job really. It's a fine line to do it on a new boot, your right.

[@MarkmanOTW]

Great job! Being a Cheaney wearer, I did wince and shake my head at that request. 😮😣

[@shoehealer8853]

Really nice customer....if I'd looked put out for even a second, he wouldn't have bothered having it done. I think he's going to be a customer for life ! Let see what he comes up with next....

[@MarkmanOTW]

@@shoehealer8853 That's fair enough. Obviously, the customer has taste and appreciates good workmanship and style.

[@ianarn]

A nice job all round!

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

They look great. I don’t think they look more casual than they were before. The speed hooks at the top make them casual to me, as speed hooks are country walking boots, casual boots & army boots. So yeah 👍🏻 the customer made a good call. 🙂

[@shoehealer8853]

Cheers buddy 👍

[@UncleChoppy]

Love the contrast stitch and natural leather colour on the sole and heel. Great stuff. Wouldn't do it on a new shoe though. Have two pairs of Tricker's Stow (plus one Wetherby) but the commando soles take an eternity to wear down so I'll probably never get the chance to get this done!

[@shoehealer8853]

Thank you, you could have the natural edge done without the stitching, no need to strip it down then.

[@tonypowell7529]

Great job, I think they look good.

[@shoehealer8853]

Thanks Tony

[@ramalufc322]

I've a pair of these and they're quite casual imo anyway (better fit for me than the Trickers Stow too as that's needs a higher volume foot ime). Lovely job all the same and the customer's always right lol

[@shoehealer8853]

You're absolutely right the Trickers do need big wide feet to fill them .... Not my skinny things. Antony

[@jaytaylor9232]

They look good, I prefer natural welts and linen stitching.

[@shoehealer8853]

Thanks Jay 🙏

[@richyclubsport5155]

Like the polished edges, most of my boots have had this done, not crazy about the white stitching, to me cheapens them, but hey ho that's what the customer wants.

[@shoehealer8853]

Yes, but hopefully we have shown you something you haven’t seen before to aid in future decision making.

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

I don't think the customer's taste and mine are the same (I'm being diplomatic) but that was a very neat job. I own the Tweed myself in the "husk oiled leather" which I believe is a vegetable tanned leather and it has the Vibram Vi-lite Genepy sole unit which makes it a lot lighter. The leather though creases more dramatically than any other footwear in my collection and I'm not sure if it is a feature of the leather or poor clicking but it is definitely a rustic leather with some much lighter colour close to the welt where the leather was stretched when lasted.

[@shoehealer8853]

The customer really was a very nice guy and if I'd have said it was too much trouble he would have been fine with just the ligher edges. It sounds like you have a very different looking boot with some lovely patina....I do like different 😉 Antony

[@UnknownUser-rb9pd]

@@shoehealer8853 Yes, the Tweed was available in three colours and each had a different sole. Tweed R (Dark Leaf), Tweed C (almond ) and Tweed GV in a dark brown.

[@paulgingell973]

As the old saying goes, ‘job would be easy if it wasn’t for customers’ 😊, we’re they dark leaf? Btw

[@shoehealer8853]

Yes, dark leaf 🤣

[@halroach8430]

Looks great.i would have worne them for a year or so ,then made the change.

[@shoehealer8853]

I think most would do that or during a repair, but in this instance the customer was visiting from another country so the logistics would have been difficult.

[@juanmanuelGonzales-ix1yy]

Both looks great, I wouldn't add the white stitching but they are not my boots.

[@shoehealer8853]

Both easily reversible though, but at least we have shown you something you haven’t seen before,now you know what you like best, which is the aim.

[@Pomegranate_David]

How much did it cost? I honestly really liked the finished look as it will get the wearer tons of attention, good and bad no doubt.😂

[@shoehealer8853]

The boot retails at £495 so without any first-time buyers discount of 10%, I'd probably just put an extra £20 on....that's making it around £70 but it takes soooo long to do!!

[@Pomegranate_David]

@@shoehealer8853 Oh that's a bargain then. A real labour of love from you guys to make such a personalised pair of boots for the customer.

[@adampitt1986]

Each to their own 😅 I've got this boot but in husk (brown) with the vi-lite sole. It's cracking! But sadly discontinued - absolutely no idea why they'd stop making them as I think they're the pick of the bunch. The dark leaf is better in the brogue derby shoe style rather than the boot in my opinion but still a stunning boot!

[@shoehealer8853]

They are gorgeous boots in any colour, thanks for watching as always Adam 🙏

[@harrypalmer7169]

Yes for the natural look of the sole and heel, no for the White stitching.

[@shoehealer8853]

Much easier to do just that

[@pauly0007]

Lovely workmanship. I didn’t know Stevie Wonder was a customer of yours. I say in jest of course, the world would be a very boring place if we all had the same taste.

[@shoehealer8853]

Very well said 🤣 Thanks for commenting 👍

[@davidsmalley8783]

Originals design for me

[@shoehealer8853]

Ok noted 👍

[@chrisgreenwood271]

First time they get polished, that stitching ain't staying white 😂

[@shoehealer8853]

Too true 👍

[@ikeemeribe2625]

I would immediately polish to tone it down. I actually like what he has done.

[@BBS_Robski]

why... just why 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@shoehealer8853]

Well at the very least you have now seen it done,even if you don’t want it doing yourself.

[@spencerama]

Great Job. But not worth compromising the original construction and structural integrity of a brand new factory made boot. Waste of money really. Had it been a resoling or rebuilding job after a few years of wear, then it would be understandable and worthwhile.

[@shoehealer8853]

You might be right.....it was a lot of effort. The boot went back together perfectly, and we would guarantee the work we did forever, but it would have been simpler with a rebuild. 👍

[@ghgjftythnhcfghdty]

Sacrilege. I'd have confiscated the boots and told him to clear off to River Island.

[@shoehealer8853]

😂

[@MrDuojet]

Your client should have bought a paper of Doc Martens instead of changing the stitching on a pair of classy, elegant boots to white. There's no accounting for some people's tastes.

[@shoehealer8853]

At least you have seen it done now though

[@davidwolfe9722]

Wonderfully refreshing to hear you call your regular customer a pain in the arse. I must say I totally agree.😂😂😂

[@shoehealer8853]

The job was a pain to do, the customer was lovely.
