Can’t imagine the feeling you guys have working on these knowing you two make a higher quality sandal at a fair price.

It’s only a pair of sandals they aren’t doing heart surgery on babies 😊

[@RatdogDRB]

I cannot for the life of me understand why people become so fixated on owning and being seen wearing a "label" that they'll part with $900 dollars for a pair of glued together sandals that have not ONE stitch holding them together, have sub-standard materials used in the making, and decide they've made a good decision. I just don't get it. At best, that's a $50 pair of sandals. That said, fine work fellers. Always a pleasure to see something getting brought back to life and refreshed so well. God bless you both in your efforts. We missed that GSP too.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

I 100% agree with you and Very well said $ 900.00 for walmart quality Sandals that's insane But on the flip side people that Blow and spend money like that will pay insane money for another new pair of Sandals or pay more money to get them repaired i say that's a win for poor and middle class person that do all the work robbing from the rich and giving back to the poor and start all over again

[@furry_homunculus]

I guess the appeal is that they are easy to make out as Hermès product. Which i assume the wearers think makes them look wealthy and sophisticated. When in reality it makes you mostly look bad with money.

[@storminscellar7207]

Wow, $900! You guys did a great job!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@HayesTech]

That old saying, "there's a sucker born every day", holds true to someone who would pay $900.00 for a pair of sandals. Just one man's opinion..

[@Michael-Makes-Stuff]

But they are HERMES…! 🤣🤪

[@acornsucks2111]

I'd be embarrassed to wear them

[@EmelyPhan]

A large part of it is paying for the name and not much else for some people

[@jessedylan6162]

@@Michael-Makes-Stuff They COULD BE counterfeit HERMES..I can buy fake designer name shoes, watches, belts etc etc right here on Canal St (in Chinatown) NYC or even along 5th Ave NYC..

[@HayesTech]

@EmelyPhan I completely agree and even know some like that. I would rather pay for quality and not a name. And a lot of times there are brands where you will even get both.

[@davefinnegan868]

You guys do amazing work love to watch your videos.

[@sharryjones5200]

Amazed at the final results! Incredible!

[@jeffe4297]

Those look absolutely gorgeous once you were done with them. However, as many of others have commented, I can’t imagine paying $900 for a sandal of any kind. Essentially a sub-par foot bed with a leather strap over the top. To be honest, I would struggle to justify spending $900 for American made PNW boots that would be much more worth it.

[@HungryH1951]

You guys are great craftsmen. I can't believe what a fantastic job you did on those sandals. Amazing workmanship.

[@Just_the_Q]

WOW. What a transformation.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks!

[@brycecrousore1985]

$900, and for that one gets paper? PAPER?? Potter & Sons: not $900, made in USA, and not paper :)

[@andylem]

If something like this costs 900 it means it is probably an overpriced piece of shit

[@paulstan9828]

They came out looking better than new to me. You guys are great.

[@DavidLeBlanc]

$900? How much of that is paying for quality and how much is that paying for the name? Whatever, you guys did a superb job, probably better than new.

[@DavidLeBlanc]

Also, hope you get the sprayer back up and running.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! 😉 A LOT of that is name.

[@christophbecker1639]

My guess would be 850$ for the Hermes label…

[@jasonp2906]

Amazing transformation! It's even better than the original.

[@Brajin1]

This was really interesting. That was some crafty work guys.

[@boldlygo3469]

$900.00 dollars for those ugly things? LOL. I wouldn't pay $5.00 for them. Nevertheless ... I like your videos and your expertise.

[@billystpaul8907]

This when a person has too much money. $900 for a pair of sandals is stupid. Your sandals are a way better value than these Hermes are. You made them look way better.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! Yeah, definitely not getting your moneys worth…material wise.

[@superbigbadman2835]

$900? That’s about $899 more than I would have paid for them 😢

💯 not the $900 sandal or shoe guy but....I do appreciate the quality craftsmanship you put into the restoration gents. They turned out so well. Annie couldn't stomach the price tag and opted out of the video 😅😅😅. I get it Annie girl. Blessings

Very nice - they came out great. BIG FAN of Anson belts - own two of them now.

[@darkma1ice]

Imagine paying $900 for sandals

[@lonrabaduex5297]

A few times, at the end of your videos, you have asked the question, are they worth the purchase price? I'm surprised that was not added. This would have been an excellent opportunity to plug your own sandals and compare yours to these.

[@urbandaniel100]

if my shoes use oak bark tanned leather soles and are hand welted, can they be re soled using the same leather soles and can they be handwelted back and not machine stitched ?

[@Joe-z6q2i]

I'd say they are of a higher quality after you remade them than they were before!

[@18malikbarnes]

You guys are the best in the business hands down! Also, I ordered my flops despite the cold weather. They’ll be ready for the spring 😁

[@dzymslizzy3641]

I can't even begin to imagine having enough money to spend a sum like that on a pair of sandals! I'd only consider such a sum if the shoes were (a) substantial, actual shoes, and (b) custom fitted to my own feet. But that's never going to happen. If I came into that kind of money, I'd spend it on practical things like deferred (expensive) household maintenance and repairs!

[@matthewbryan4983]

Cant get my head round how there worth $900 dollar. Just paying for the name.

[@Michael-Makes-Stuff]

Great job! You guys do such excellent work. But $900 for… sandals? That is insane. I would rather buy multiple pairs from you guys. Better quality and a fair price! 😃 I can’t imagine paying $900 for any single pair of shoes. Wow.f

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. Oh, and ours are even on sale! 😉👍

[@skycop4093]

So basically you created your own sandals and added a bit of Hermes to it. What’s in a name? A whole lot of markup

[@TrentonHeath]

Just put them back exactly the same way they came. Ours are better. 😉

[@bayareanewman1566]

I’d pay $900 for what you guys did. But Hermes, tops, I’d pay $30 bucks. They are crap until you guys get a hold of them. Reminds me of when I went to the Golden Goose store in Santa Clara Valley Fair Mall. I literally laughed in their face. I said “I know you’re just doing your job, but these shoes are so much crap it’s borderline a scam”. They looked like some teenager wore a generic pair of Vans for a whole summer! No thank you!

[@kyuutatsu]

Gonna be honest, y’all did a great job but there is no arch support or like grip at the bottom. 900$ for basically something to slip on, got it.

[@TrentonHeath]

Yeah, I would've thought a rubber heel would be better. Then again, I'm not the designer making $900 off a sandal. 😀

[@paul_domici]

You guy's aren't cobblers you're Artists!!! I would've thrown them in the garbage : )

[@носокфилософа]

I can't even imagine paying $900 for shoes with a swastika on them.

[@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.]

My brother-in-law has the worst foot odor imaginable. I'm talking about an odor so intense that it could warrant calling in a hazardous decontamination company. He once took a pair of his dress shoes to a cobbler for a heel block repair, but the cobbler refused to work on them and insisted he take them out of his shop immediately. What do you do if you receive a pair of stinky shoes for repair? Beware, if he sees this he may send a couple of pairs to you.

[@TrentonHeath]

Haha…wow, that’s pretty bad! Honestly, it’s quite rare. Out of thousands of shoes, we’ve only had a few pairs that really smelled. We have some odor killer stuff, like bowling alleys, that we’ll spray them with.

[@johnnyh293]

My most expencive shoes cost about 40 dollar. Ever. And I live in Norway. How is it even possible to pay so much money for shohes?

[@markedis5902]

Very very surprised that the insole was paper. Hermes built their reputation on only using the best leather and other materials and hand sewing everything. Could it be that even they, with their ridiculous pricing, are starting to cut corners? Or, could it be that those are fakes? I know the fake Birkin bags are very nearly as good as the originals and it would take an expert to know the difference.

[@rosscollins2910]

I am an amateur leather worker, a few years ago a discussion raving about their hand sewing came up on a blog. Shortly thereafter I was in Vegas and seen a Hermes store so I studied their work for about 20 minutes. IF they are hand sewn the craftsman made the same error on every 4th stitch throughout the entire bag. Birkin bag. Highly doubt they are hand sewn. For the price it better be perfect.

[@joanreynolds955]

Hermes is notorious for their snob appeal. Their Birkin bags have a price tag like a house and (unless you’re a kartrashian) come with a a two-year-plus wait list.

[@TrentonHeath]

I wish I had that kind of appeal. 😄
