Danner Boots

[@omarroa811]

For me, this job means that Steve gave the client back his memories, his best moments, his best feelings, his passion ... everything he needs or wants to live a happier life. Surely the client will take firmer steps with those boots. I think that is priceless. Great job Steve! 👍

You Steve actually have one of the BEST jobs on earth. To be able to keep someone's belongings in use so that memories are close is priceless, but $900 to repair some boots is also fantastic. Awesome work! Keep it up. You are an inspiration!! Thank you

[@rowenawragg3903]

A great job as usual Steve. As long as you have the money I see no problem in spending $900 restoring a favourite pair of boots. We are always being told to restore, reuse and recycle. You are saving the planet one pair of shoes/boots/bag at a time. Keep up the good work. Regards Rowena from the UK🇬🇧

[@oscarpatino330]

Nice video.... Great Job!... now I see why the price, a lot of skills and love for the profession.... Congrats!

[@goldielocks4442]

I completely understand where this guy is coming from. It's not the $$$. I go around trying to find things I loved as a child, lost or broken, it's fun when I finally find the item. I know weird!! I enjoy watching these shoe repairs, people don't drop their shoes off to the shoe makers anymore, SAD. Takes a lot of talent. Beautiful work!! TY.

[@redpillspiller2177]

Was in the Army for 16 years and now I’m an electrician so I totally understand having a sentimental bond with my boots. Well done and great video Sir

Love how relaxing your channel is after a long day watching your videos is so very peaceful, watching a true craftsman ply his trade is fascinating. And the skill of your hands is amazing. I see a old pair of boots that look ready for the garbage, and you doing them back to life it’s so cool.

I can relate 100% to loving those boots because of the teeth marks. I had a car that my sister's gorgeous black lab loved riding in. It had puppy nose prints all over the quarter glass windows. I could never bring myself to wash those 2 windows after he crossed the rainbow bridge. I cried a bunch when I finally sold the car. Steve, your work is impeccable and I love every video you post.

[@usernamemykel]

That brought tears to my eyes. When I re-read it, I saw that the dog was a black Lab. That brought MORE tears because my super sweet black Lab also passed away.

[@sgt-maj_smoke]

Another great vid, your attention to detail and your craftsmanship always shine through and the customers are lucky to have you re-craft their items.

[@eamonwright7488]

@@RIPPER334 Aye same here. I bought the Brown/Khaki Danner lights around 2006 and paid around $225. I still wear them every so often. Still look as good as the day I bought them. Only other brand I've seen thats as resilient as Danners is Gripfast. I bought my 6 eye oxblood Gripfasts back in 2000 and they're still going strong. The Vibram soles will probably need replacing in the next year or so because they're almost worn smooth lol

You can get them cheaper during sales. Nobody pays 400 for these.

It always amazes me that you know where to start just looking at the item.......and the freehand work with the trusty knife and other tools...a true artisan and delight to watch. A white horse trots into a bar and the bartender says "did you know we have a drink named after you" the horse looks at the bartender and says... "What? Eric". For you my friend.

[@juliamansour2072]

What makes us human is our capacity to feel and attach value to our emotions.These shape our souls and make us who we are as people. You are great at cobbling but a true master at helping people keep their memories alive and their souls warm and fuzzy and tender. As ever wonderful video. Thanks Steve.

The teeth mark from his dog on the tongue is so touching

[@maikehudson333]

Maybe I should have preserved the teeth marks my dog inflicted on one of my favorite purses. Instead I took it to the friendly neighborhood cobbler, who did a less than impressive job fixing it. That was before I found out about Steve.

[@RNDM85]

A little ironic too no? Teeth on tongue 😜

[@HeavyArms1993]

My cat turned a pair of my boots into a scratching post a year or two back. She, unfortunately, passed away at the start of the year and that pair of boots is one of the most sentimental items that I own now. I totally get the owner wanting to keep those teeth marks.

I fully realize that your a master at what you do but how in the world did you learn to tear irreplaceable boots such as the Danners and put them back together nearly flawlessly? You dont go to shoe/boot college and learn this. Who taught you and when did you gain the confidence to move forward. I love working with my hands and at a job.

Thanks for another informative video, Steve. Things I gleaned from this video: 1) Planning out a panel replacement, 2) Substituting materials (foam) with a suitable replacement, 3) Setting a shank 4) How to prevent "squeak potential" 5) Grommet removal and replacement 6) How to re-sole a stitchdown and potential problems which may arise, and thank you for sharing your mistake and how you corrected it. My questions: 1) How was the shank secured? Did it receive nails/cement? 2) You expressed a "love-hate relationship" with the Rapid E, which has me wondering why this machine was used instead of another stitcher like a Landis 12K (which is what I have). Is the Rapid E a straight needle machine? Thanks again for another great video!

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Shank was glued only Rapid E is a hydraulic operated machine and it stitches a lot thicker then my L . It’s a curved needle also but a different curve angle then the L or any other stitchers.
