The Ultimate Mission Impossible Indy Boot Restoration Challenge.

[@johnthreefifteen]

The guy is very fortunate that you were available to remake those boots. I did not expect them to turn out as nice, but then again Steve can work magic.

[@paulterhaar4218]

I did

[@zulzul8050]

Mantap Bro 👍👍

[@boat6868]

The patches that you did look absolutely perfect...they fit the boot beautifully.

[@CobblerBob]

Absolutely incredible!! I thought you were nuts in the beginning. They turned out spectacular! One of my favorite transformations you’ve ever done. The leather and rubber contrast on the sole edge is gorgeous, and the patina is beautiful on the uppers.

[@Ahmad-iu8dq]

The transformation is outstanding and the craftsmanship is at its best. The new pieces blended really well and never changed the natural looks of the Indy.

[@lindamonise7397]

Great restoration, and wonderful work. Glad I was scrolling and found your last video of the year.....Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@22ergie]

2:12: Bro opens up the boot, looks inside, and says: "Oh my God". Love this video! I could watch it all day as a treat! 👞👟🥾🥿👢

[@DodgerBluetC]

My friend, you have revived those boots spectacularly. You are a wizard of your craft.

[@glory_warrior6213]

Man that dude is gonna love his boots again! Thanks for all the videos this year brother

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Thanks for watching, friend! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@andybell4329]

New boots have no character. A great repair maintains and enhances the story and memories. Fantastic work Steve. Wishing you a happy new year.

[@henrywest7217]

Geez louise! Brought them back from the dead. Definitely impressive...

[@syednaumanhussain6658]

Amazing job Steve. I really enjoyed your craftsmanship. Best of luck for the future endeavours.

[@robertlopez7779]

WOW Steve !! Amazing work I wouldn't expect anything less coming from You. I can understand the owner's request to keep the Boots looking the way they are with that natural wear and tear Patina that can never be duplicated. I personally would purchase a pair with that look vs a New pair. That Boot has character without a doubt. I'm a Furniture Finisher by Trade. My job is to retain the Original Patina very carefully, and I love the challenge. We basically remove the old wax as You do, we disassemble reglue and assemble as You do, gently redye where needed as You do, then finish with steel wool, conditioner and a fine wax, as You do. Our trades are Very Similar and that's Why I Respect & Appreciate your gift. Watching you work has been a Blessing to Me. I appreciate you Steve and all the videos you put out. 2024 was a Amazing year I agree. From one Artist to Another ... May God continue to Bless You, Your Family & Your Business throughout 2025🙏🏽 Stay Up Steve👍🏽 ... Robert,

[@jvc3312]

I didn’t think there was any chance you could make those boots look good again, but I was wrong. They look great. You’re a master. Thanks

[@ESPRIT_DE_CORP77]

YOU ARE AN ARTIST... THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVORITE REPAIRS I HAVE SEEN YOU DO... 👍👍💯

[@bc65925]

I'm glad your business is good. It's good to see someone that works hard prosper.

[@CooleKip1]

Business must be over the top. Wearing a $50k watch on the job…

[@johnearhart8811]

Absolutely awesome. That gentleman should be gratefull you took a job like that. Wonderful work as expected from you. Thanks Steve

[@benandi1890]

I like watching you and learning how to pick shoes and how to fix them . I just think u are an amazing cobbler.

[@BabakPA]

Dear Steve I am sorry about your friend’s passing, may they rest in peace🙏🏻Thank you so much for the great videos and your wisdom you so selflessly share. Wishing you the best this new year has to offer🙏🏻❤️

[@abimaheldelpilarcordova5500]

You made a wonderful work with those old and tired boots and give them a second life for them and for the costumer 👍🏽👌🏽

[@BrianJoyce-dk2sg]

The repair on the outside side walls of the boots looks like it was originally designed like that. At first when you described the repair you were doing, i had my doubts. Now seeing the finished product, I see what you were doing. Very impressive work. Thanks for the broadcast.

[@mickyjb2003]

Absolutely brilliant repair & put right job. Once again a pleasure to watch a professional at work. Thank you.

[@2rueblue]

Thank you for all your hard work this year Steve, bringing us shows and passing a few words of wisdom on to the followers of your fantastic channel, as always all the very best from Scotland and hopefully next year we get more of your humour and education so let's continue steve.

[@irenesimovic1024]

Beautiful job, thank you for sharing🎉

[@evanblythe2283]

WOW! Absolutely amazing! Thanks for taking the job. The video was one of your best.

[@evelynrodriguez8652]

Those boots look really good 👍🏻, love the videos and chatting . We look forward to your videos and all you share.

[@datsunruss]

To absent friends ❤ - first class repair. It's amazing how far gone they were and how well they turned out. 😊 All the best Mr Bedo.

[@NDB469]

Those boots were banged up! Great boots, and great outcome! Nice work.

[@tonygloster3483]

Great repair Steve those patches are hardly noticeable I just knew this was going to be an outstanding job really great boots as usual they came to the right place ❤

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

I'm amazed by the patches they hardly even show up. Another amazing job to end the year with thanks for taking us along all year. Have a good New Year.

[@davidklingler484]

Very cool video. I really enjoy the videos where you expertly revive boots that a lesser artisan would simply pronounce dead.

[@ddutton0]

These are great! I really was not thinking that extra leather on the side looks good at first, but seeing them finished up at the end they look beautiful!

[@tawAAkul]

Wow that's stunning. It's so good to see a professional at work like this. Best wishes for 2025 Steve and looking forward to seeing more vids from the UK.

[@mariapicchi7118]

Congratulations on the excellent work. When I saw what the shoes were like before, honestly, I would have thrown them away and instead, seeing, step by step the great craftsmanship and precision, I was amazed. They are back, in my opinion, better than when they were new. Still excellent work from a daughter of a craftsman father who has always worked shoes and who knows what the work of a good craftsman means. Greetings from Italy ☺️

[@Jeh110]

I love your work and your craft. I always wanted to learn this trade but lacked the strength in my hands. Thanks for another superb video!

[@gabesaldivar]

Amazing! Always enjoy how you can transform a completely damaged boot and restore it, possibly better than it was when it was new.

[@johnmana]

Awesome! Have a great break ! Looking forward to the next projects.

[@johnconnor555]

Definitely you're the man !!! Nobody can't do it better, it's magic what you're done Steve !!!

[@CharlesThompson-ou7wp]

If I was a first time viewer I would have never thought that those Indies could be saved. You my friend are a passionate and talented Cobbler and you continue to WOW your viewers! Thanks for another awesome video and keep on hammering on!

[@danjoe22]

This job is among your finest. You brought those bootd back to life for the customer and then some. Those leather pieces you added to the uppers make the boots look even cooler! I'm betting he is a happy guy. Happy New Year!!

[@kevinwilliams563]

Very nice outcome Steve. Amazing with what you started with.

[@tomwatkins4730]

Steve, may the Lord bless you, your good work & good works in the New Year. The world needs more saints like you.

[@markcesena4670]

Hi Steve what a great video,the boots turned out perfect,just the way I would have wanted if they were mine,and also a great decision on the customers part,on no dieing the uppers and wanting the boots to look new again!

[@dawg4135]

I can’t believe how good they look. I didn’t think it could be done and I thought that side piece of leather was going to look ridiculous. I was 💯 wrong. They look amazing. 👌🏻

[@kevinorr6880]

Absolutely amazed. I thought those were beyond help.

[@Three-33343]

Beautiful work the boots look fantastic

[@iMacMan54]

What??? Must be an early New Years resolution....."I won't trigger anyone by sharpening the utility knife blade......today" 🤣🤣 But as for the boots, great job bringing them back to life. Hope you had a great Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!

[@wizaxed]

Such a fantastic transformation!! There is no job that Steve can't handle.

[@trevorsomething5071]

Literally unbelievable how well those side patches integrated into the shape of the boot. Beautiful.

[@marbellahernandez1904]

I really enjoyed watching your work it’s a wonderful outcome. Wow 😊 the blue Hermes bag turned out really nice. Congratulations

[@JamesMPogue]

Amazing restoration, beautiful. Job well-done.

[@antonchigurh4953]

Huge appreciate for your videos, and thank you for your thoughts about what’s happening around you. Some times people can feel “same” in another part of the world, and after watching and listen to you, they can feel less “alone”. Thank you again!

[@mr.q3216]

Happy New Year. Great video. Nice job on these boots.

[@likearc]

Excellent video and work, Steve!

[@AnthonySmith-hr2kp]

Steve ya still work wonders, great artwork!!!!

[@cz_ww2117]

My favorite cobbler, not many craftsmen like you around any longer. I would be proud to wear a pair of boots refurbished by you. Happy and prosperous New Year to you.

[@TerryGloer]

What I like very much about this video is the craft shown, the philosophy along the way, and your dedication. Thumbs up! 😊

[@Marcus_Berger1701]

Man Steve, i love you brother, you're such a cool character! I am a perfectionist, a hobby cobbler and frustrated with most of the cobblers i meet who don't really love their job. ("I can't do that, just throw your boots away. It's impossbile to repair. Why don't you buy a new pair?") I love that you put so much effort into every single detail. I think that is so important. It really makes a difference even if some don't appreciate the extra effort. Happy new year!

[@rraposo7353]

Absolutely gorgeous work as usual.

[@JSpiffy]

Wow ! Beautiful work

[@kingbernad7345]

Another great repair Steve! Actually in the beginning those boots looked like it would really be next to impossible to resurrect. They turned out great. Thanks for the knowledge you share with us viewers. Happy New Year!

[@Fetojoven123]

Wow I love how it turned out. Beautiful as always Steve 🎉❤

[@juancarlosbejar1542]

STEVE TE SIGO HACE MUCHO TIEMPO, ERES UN GENIO.... TEN UNAS FELICES FIESTAS Y SIGUE IGUALITO, NO CAMBIES UN APICE .....TU TRABAJO , TU HUMOR Y TU FORMA DE VER LA VIDA ES LO QUE TE HACE ESPECIAL. GRACIAS MAESTRO......

[@MichiganCustomCraftworksLLC]

Hey Steve, yes greatful for what l have. This year, l lost a few people, too! "LIFE is to short my friend. I always say, "We're here for a good time, not a long time." Hopefully, a better year for business for us after BIG Don gets in come January! God bless my friend. Thanks for the videos!

[@JeffreyBrown-t7q]

Amazing craftsmanship!!

[@drunkenwaster1218]

Finished product looks absolutely amazing. I totally understand the sentimental connection people may have with their possessions. If you really want restoration work done, you pay what's needed. Simples.

[@cottonhiker]

I’m so glad I found this channel, thanks for a good year!!! 🙏👍🏻💪🏻🇺🇸

[@cyberrider1765]

The perfect gift before going to sleep! Thanks Steve and happy holidays

[@delphium]

I was skeptical about the patches at first but they turned out great. Thanks for the quality content and wish everyone a happy new year!

[@juancarlosbejar1542]

YO TAMBIEN....PERO STEVE NO DEJA DE SORPRENDERNOS, ES UN MAGO.

[@gijsbo2000]

Many thanks for being a great teacher for all these years.

[@JuanCardenas-]

Wow , Steve O you basically brought those Boots back to Life . Outstanding Work . 😊😊😊

[@michaelkeats1313]

You brought these boots back too life, what a fantastic job. Very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing. Happy new year to you and your family. 👍👍👍

[@martinzeddy]

Another brilliant restoration Steve! Thanks for all the interesting and entertaining videos throughout the year. Happy New Year!

[@peterdegazon8902]

Well done buddy, where there,s a will ,there,s a way !!!.

[@fronniebealer7808]

Superb job. These seemed like they were already sliding into the crematorium, but you resurrected them. The guy should be well-pleased.

[@CommonCentsRob]

Beautiful shoes!!!! Nicely done. Thanks. 👍

[@JinsKookieJams]

*Wow!! These look incredibly amazing and awesome! You brought them back to life! I hope the customer will clean and condition them once in awhile too. They look much better and the patina adds character to them! Good work! I'm very sorry for your losses. Losing people close to us is extremely hard. I wish you a good new year! I love your videos Steve! You're doing great!! 😊🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷*

[@zevgoldman6769]

This video is a wonderful way to race toward the end of the year. I hope that you are able to bless us with more videos in 2025. Happy New Year, Brother.

[@xiphosura413]

Real inspiring content as an apprentice cobbler, absolute gem of a channel recommended by a colleague. Can see myself spending a lot of time here!

[@CarlJones14]

Great job, they look amazing for a partial restoration. The patches blend in well. We don't die. We're just in this body, for now. As a kid in mid 1960s Germany on and RAF base, with lots of Yanks, I nearly drowned after being pushed into the base swimming pool. I was given the kiss of life by the lifeguard, and I suppose I was technically dead, as my spirit hovered above the scene. In an instant, I was back in my body coughing up pool water. This was around 66, and I doubt my parents were told, or that any paperwork was filled out. I sat out the swimming lesson. Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@sambutera3898]

One more job and year in the books. I love watching your videos keep up the amazing work.

[@SirLoxley7]

I enjoy your videos, I enjoy your wisdom, you are an amazing person, thank you so much for sharing.

[@andrewpiroli1]

I was nervous when he had them all tore apart... but this guy is a miracle worker. Turned out great.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

Glad to see more content from you. Not only is the work enthralling to watch, but your editing is perfect for the novice to keep up with. Best to you and yours for the New Year! From all your friends you've never met out here in KZbin.

[@bradleythomas5445]

Wow! What a transformation! You’re a true master of your craft. Have a Happy and Healthy 2025, Steve!

[@ValerieJohnson-i5n]

Fantastic craftmanship on this restoration!

[@LtGp3Eng2]

If those were my boots, I'd be thrilled with the result. They look great, nice job. I wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025.

[@richardaraujo3492]

The way the color of the new leather side pieces contrasts slightly with the old leather really gives them a cool look. Almost like the toe protector on motorcycle boots sometimes contrasts with the rest of the boot. Very cool, I never would have thought those could be brought back.

[@dustinwilkinson6264]

To the people who commented in your last video you was complaining to much. As a shoe cobbler my favorite part watching these videos is the "complaining about botch jobs". It helps inform me on what not to do. I appreciate these videos so much. Love watching and learning. Can't wait to see what the new year brings. Love God and love people ❤️

[@kelly-hg5nd7hs8f]

Hi Steve, exquisite craftsmanship. You love what you do, I love what you do! I have gained so much knowledge from you, I peruse through "shoe shops" just to look at the manufacture of todays footwear. Thanks so much for the entertainment and education😊. All the best in the new year... Kelly

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Thank you, Kelly, I appreciate you.

[@nickrandol9133]

Wow. Awesome restoration. I like the looks of those side patches. They’re unique, now…. Great job.

[@BigMex64]

Wasn’t sure how these would turn out….. Came out great Steve…..!! You should be proud of your work

[@lindalove7193]

Holy Nancy Sinatra! Them boots are made for walking! Great job!😮❤

[@codpug]

Master Bedo you are the best! I watch every stich you do i try and pay attn to every detail you put into you work , what machines you use the tools etc and i wish to recreate your art. i have 0 experience in leather and cobbler work just started 2 months ago by immersing myself into the cobbler world online but want to open my own shop by next year, noone around for hundreds of miles . my goal is to be repairing shoes in one year of me practicing daily till i feel confident enough. ive worked in maintenance field for 20 years and after covids b/s with corporations i need something new and refreshing in my life and i want to move to become a master like yourself one day,

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Practice practice and practice some more. Good luck with your new adventures

[@SDsearcher]

Wow! Beautiful job! I love to watch you work your magic. Happy New Year! Thank you for all the wonderful videos and for your words of encouragement. They mean a lot to me.

I have to say I was skeptical about this repair but in the end they turned out quite nicely. Thumbs up 👍🏼

Great craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing your skills with us. I wish you all the best in this coming year.

[@pickletreewoodcraft7858]

I really enjoy watching you do these kinds of repairs it’s satisfying to see such a drastic change. On the topic of change these boots are a great analogy of change, it’s hard work it’s also being mindful of what you are doing it’s the commitment to achieve the best outcome.

[@edwinheredia4305]

Wow, my brother, you did amazing. Work in those boots good job.
