Such care and attention to detail ………….its a fantastic job steve .! ❤❤❤❤

[@CC-hl5zj]

After having 2 pair of Alden Indies completely ruined by the local cobblers in Pueblo Colorado I will either take a chance and do my own repairs or just go buy new boots. The caring craftsman is becoming obsolete in our world. Thank you for what you do and thank you for sharing.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Indy’s are my specialty

That box of leather was the who’s who of the wild kingdom. 😂 Joking aside, once again Steve your work is outstanding.

[@danhamilton2112]

Steve: “boots aren’t my specialty.” Everyone go back and pause the video when he shows the pair of boots with the double-stitch. It’s freaking PERFECT! The stitches match up perfectly! MASTER COBBLER! Every video I learn more and more, Steve. Thank you for sharing your art, and educating at the same time. “Let’s continue”….with more videos!👌🏻

[@michaelhearn3831]

Those brown boots are amazingly beautiful..as always outstanding craftsmanship thank you for sharing your skills…👍🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@saddletanboots9544]

Great vid!, kangaroo leather is legal in most states, and according to some, one of the most ethical leather because kangaroos are seen more like pests in Australia, so they population control them so instead of letting the hides go to waste they make it into leather, plus a lot of soccer cleats are kangaroo.

[@chinatownboy7482]

I appreciate that Mr. Doudaklian mentions pricing.

[@teddybear9029]

Steve! Did you give that customer a reduction for returning your much loved sentimental apron?😂😂😂

[@Crackers2549]

“A hump or a bump” Steveroo…😂 Another outstanding job by the best….! Love watching your work and videos Steve and I have for years now!!! 5 STARS ✨ Greg 💯👍

[@Grumpycat0405]

The apron story just made me laugh out loud😂

[@jennypaxton8159]

Kangaroo is an exotic, but it absolutely isn’t illegal! My local leather shop has kangaroo hides, and new kangaroo boots are expensive, but easy to get.

[@KamiruNusbaum]

Yeah, high end motorcycle suits are made of kangaroo too.

[@mikey6020]

Not in 'Straya it isn't. Hell, we even eat them!! And I have a pair of Florsheims made with roo leather. They're very soft. Maybe it's a US thing. Cheers

That was a great repair a trio of cowboy boots my favourite was the ostrich boots the double stitching was a great look they all finished up absolutely fantastic thanks Steve 👍

[@summe1972]

Fantastic work as always, Steve. Absolutely impeccable. Always enjoy watching your videos, you're a fine craftsman, and entertaining to watch as well. Much love to you.

[@flightschoolcustomfootwear]

Wow Steve! I've never worn a pair of cowboy boots but these are all so nice, I'm starting to get tempted. 😂 Phenomenal work, yet again!!

[@irenemeno3585]

Been missing you Bedo!! Great repairs and always good to hear how honest and consistent you are with all you repair. Your customers know, that's why they trust you and come to you. Merry 🎄 Christmas 🤶🏼❄️☃️

[@fronniebealer7808]

The restorations were great. I was wondering about the shanks, but you cleared that up.

[@bustermv]

Restored to original beauty. Ready for the next adventure!

[@DavidBrown-it9ig]

Wish I was a kid, would love to learn the trade

[@RatdogDRB]

Amazing, no shank! And I despise canvas lining. Leather's where it's at! I had some kangaroo Tony Lamas, early 80s vintage. Most comfy boots I've ever owned, After more than 20 years' worth of wear and resoles, the uppers wore through with a number of holes and I had to scrap 'em. Sweet looking repairs on those three pairs. As for that apron... at least spend for some Bick4 on that sad thang. LOL Glad you were able to get that mystery solved. God bless you, Steve, and Merry Christmas.

[@irenekoumides9038]

Very nice work, Steve. All 3 look spectacular. ❤

[@nedflora1154]

Good looking boots

[@Neubauer1]

Steve, I'll tell you why people called workers don't perform their jobs properly 1, lack of training or 2, laziness, no self-responsibility. I've met many hundreds of workers personally in my previous job. In 40 years of interactions with them performing technical troubleshooting, I would also throw in a lack of accountability for poor work. And the worst are those who don't want to improve. Folks like you, wholesome and someone who takes pride in their work and their high ethics were a joy to meet.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Steve great work , your skill and pride is reflected in each boot or shoe that you work on . Love what you do 👍

[@deepcover9894]

Fabulous job on all three pairs. Especially like the double stitching on the welt! People love their old boots and now they are nearly like new again.

[@Traderjoe]

Beautiful work Steve! The ostrich ones came out fabulous especially.

[@jayk5549]

This is why I buy blundstone red back or solovair boots. When they are done after 5 years. They are done. No repairs or crappy cobbler work to deal with. I wish that were not the case. I remember the days of great shoes, good leather that could be repaired and just kept getting more and more comfortable.

[@Robotguy115]

[@johnnymossville]

Beautiful work as usual Steve!

[@htownandi6263]

My absolute favorite is Stingray. (Nature's glitter) Before I moved to Houston, I stopped at my local feed and country Western Wear store to get some boots. After finding a reasonably priced pair to purchase, I was going through the sales section and came across a pair of black 100% stingray boots. Back in 2016 they were $600 and the thought of spending that much on one pair of boots about killed me. Can I tell you to this day I am still kicking myself for not getting them. I did end up having a friend who worked for a custom bootmaker and was able to get a pair of stingray/ python but they will never compare to the ones I saw 8 years ago. 💔

[@MichiganCustomCraftworksLLC]

Hey Steve, funny story! I haven't did that one yet! I take a break it goes on the swivel chair and end of the day on the storage shelf at the back door. Cheers! I wouldn't tell the customs agent, HEY man l got a shank in my boot! 😂

[@rickorr2181]

I really don’t like cowboy boots but I can appreciate the work that goes into them and you really made some nice improvements to them bells and whistles aside.. btw I think you meant humps and bumps lol, you say humps and dumps hahaha

Yes exactly but couldn’t think of bump at the moment 🤣🤣🤣

HI, STEVE!!! ❤

[@FrankenShop]

Your video end implies that if I had a leather shoe to have repaired, I might go somewhere else to have it fixed. That would not happen. You're a master of your craft.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I’m not sure how you got that idea, I was simply saying it’s not my specialty

[@FrankenShop]

@@BedosLeatherworksLLC You were giving a list of things to look for in a quality rebuild, how the heels were sanded, how the sole was shaped to match the uppers. No one who uses your services would need to concern themselves about the repair quality. Your work is always impressive.

Hump or dimple?

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I was trying to think of the word “bump” 🤣🤣

[@rcclark8818]

Hey Steve, been watching your channel for a long time and I know how busy you are, but since you mentioned aprons: I always thought aprons might be an item you could make to use up leather scraps. I'm a hobby woodworker and would love an apron made by you with a patchwork of leathers and maybe some of those "exotics". That would be cool. Should I give you a call? Russ from Montana.
