Restoring Crockett & Jones Grasmere

Heavily cracked grained uppers made these shoes hard to fix. The goal had to be, not to make them like new, but to reinforce the leather and fix the cracks to give them enough new life to motivate a resole. Customer is very happy with the result and hopefully he can wear them for many years to come.

[@LeonardoDeVinci1452]

If you just did the uppers you made them look a thousand times better. With new soles they should last another 100 years. Great work WOW.

[@DianeH2038]

wow! I don't think I realized until now that I take very good care of my shoes -- I have 20+ year old shoes that are still in really excellent condition. even my shoes from the 1990s are in great shape! I'm grateful my father used to have me shine his shoes -- I learned how to take good care of these items long ago.

[@peterbaader334]

Here speaks someone with a fetish for good shoes: Very impressive work, very impressive result! Well done!

What is the name of the binder used?

Those look so much better. That looked like a lot of work restoring that leather. Nicely done sir.

[@f4oood800]

Älskar sådana här klipp. Så roligt och intressant att följa processen. Jag blev dock lite åksjuk av snabbspolandet. Skulle föredra hårdare klippning och normal uppspelningshastighet.

While I wholeheartedly admire your fantastic repeair work , in some cases people are selling their repaired shoes as hardly worn .

Should have bought Loakes but nice to watch a craftsman at work.Bravo.

[@juststuff5216]

Binding agent? What are you actually using, some type of leather repair glue?

[@alierem4266]

Also would be helpful to note what 'fillers' are made of.

[@strannostrannovasrr]

Well done. Good job.

[@guidod.1071]

Great job! Would regular application of nourishing cream stop cracks from developing again in the future?

[@1SUPERNAUT1]

Apreciate all the work that goes into a repair like this, very well done. Whats the name of the binder you use to fill in the cracks?

[@imranbukhari4887]

Amazing

[@gabimassi8265]

Any chance you note what fillers are made of? Do they crumbke/get brittle in hot/cold weather?

I really you worked on shoes from the US..I have a pair that needs work like this...I haven't seen anyone in the US that got the uppers looking like new...most cobblers here in the US seem to just repair the soles.

[@egpt]

"Bedo's Leatherworks" is who you are looking for in the US.

[@DrawnInk1]

Very nice. Thanks

I'm sure that shoe wouldn't be able to recognize itself!😂

Great video, thank you! I have a question: what made this leather crack so badly? Did the gentlemen not use shoe trees? What is your advice to prevent that cracking? I have C&J Coniston boots in the same leather

[@pavelvahovskiy5574]

It looks nice, looks fine. But wouldn't it be easier to buy new shoes, without all these unnecessary troubles? Or to make new shoes?

[@hywel1405]

A pair of C&J is north of £400 these days. Well worth a bit of money to keep an old pair going. If you wear a pair daily you're going to need a resole even of rubber soles in 18months.

I can't understand why he's using water to wash the shoes? Isn't it dangerous for leather? So many opinions about this.

[@davidsonsshoerepair]

Who told you water is bad for quality leather? That is wrong. If dirty or salty water has penetrated the leather you have to water wash it. Just make sure you moisturize it after with a lotion and finish with shoe cream. If the leather is cheap and full of chrome, water might bring out the chrome salt and create ugly salt stains.

I personally like shoes where the leather is worn, soiled and cracked. I think they are sexier that way especially if the shoes squeak when walking in them.

[@davidsonsshoerepair]

Well in that case you're in luck. Sand paper, salt water and a knife will easily achieve that. Some mud on top of that will hit the spot. The squeaking is harder but a cobbler could probably help you create some squeaking. Good luck. :)
