In this video, we completely upgrade this customers pair of Peter Millar loafers. After a couple of standard resoles, this pair got a major overhaul! We took this pair down to the bare insole, added a fiddle waist, new welts, new JR sole leather and heels, new leather heel blocks, added Triumph toe plates, stained the soles and finished off the top lifts with decorative nails. Now THAT is what we call a total refurbishment!

You know we always strive to give you our honest opinions on shoes, products, etc. on this channel, so when we accidentally give incorrect info, we definitely try to correct it. We’re very familiar with shell cordovan, and Peter Millar did an excellent job replicating the feel of shell with these shoes. We were mistaken and just wanted to correct the info given. These were NOT shell cordovan. Not that it matters in any way to what we did to these shoes or the video, but we still wanted to correct the info we gave. A shoutout to some of our viewers who mentioned this and also brought up the possibility of it being “techno horse leather”, which very much replicates shell cordovan. Interesting. 👍

[@alldayseveryday3138]

Would you have used a different type of polish than the cordovan polish or does it not really matter?

[@Stoeff1987]

Oh wow, thank you for the update! I was already wondering about the creasing pattern which would have been very untypical for SC. I did not catch the comments correcting you and I have to say the sheen and overall look really looks like it could be shell.

[@apleatherworking9952]

I'm am very interested in what you are using to Ruff up your leather ? Could you give a little more info?

[@HeavyProfessor]

​@@alldayseveryday3138 It does matter. There is a "cordovan cream" from Saphir which works well (very sparingly once every couple months). And for hard wax, only the hardest low in solvent--again a Saphir product, the mirror gloss polish.

[@crisyorke1328]

So that customer overpaid to get a pair of normal calf skin shoes repaired. He could’ve just gotten a new pair.

[@HolybasilYT]

He paid $470 for a pair of shoes that now look like they're worth 1200. It's more than I could afford, but I'd say he still got great value for money.

[@DwightMS1]

You made those shoes so handsome on the bottom, it's almost a shame to wear them outside.

[@nononsenselogic]

This may be the most artistically accentuated set of soles that I have seen. This is very fine work.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much!

[@paulsheffield4729]

You took the exact words right out of my mouth.

[@Ocarafeio]

Indeed!!

[@rogermty1971]

Almost a shame to walk on those soles. Beautiful piece of art, better than when they were new.

[@DavidLeBlanc]

The previous cobbler was skittish about removing the stitching, we're not. Go bold or go home. That's a real advantage of knowing what you are doing. Good job guys. I bet the client was pleased.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much! We hope so. 🤞

[@shawbros]

Track that last cobbler down, and make him cry.

[@nigelbarker8726]

Perhaps the last cobbler hadn't realised his customer was willing to fork out 450 bucks.

[@mbeat28]

The craftsmanship that’s gone into these is second to none. The uppers are not to my taste but the soles are something else. Fantastic work gents.

[@ratonbox]

I was about to comment the same thing. Awesome work on the soles, puts the uppers to shame.

[@darrellhendrix5502]

I believe he recieved better shoes back from you than he would have by buying new. Excellent video as usual. Thank you for sharing your talent and passion.

[@TheNunakun]

Perfection gentlemen! Better than new! Appreciate how you're getting sponsorships now, and one of the only channels I'm not mad about accepting them. You deserve them for the stellar job & videos you put up.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much! We’ll try to keep, whichever sponsorships come our way, entertaining, as short as possible, and hopefully informative and helpful.

[@jmleeinla]

Me as well. It’s so great that they’re getting sponsors. I also watch the whole commercial because I know it helps them. I only do this for two other channels. Well done guys!!!

[@kevinstewart4579]

What I love about the videos where you've specifically refurbished high - end loafers is the way that you really show how much work goes into the rebuild : we can see Heath constructing the waist by hand, rather than using pre- fabricated parts... I think that that's the kind of attention to detail that sets you guys apart... I'm not familiar with the shoe brand, but seeing these makes me want a pair pronto! Both of you are masters of the craft, gents!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you sir! We really do appreciate that.

[@andrewlivingston9058]

Would you guys or have you guys ever done a video just on your equipment? I've always been curious as to the age, history and just how specific everything is.

[@jesussaves4623]

They are usually really old, I’ve been a cobbler all my life, I’m still using the same landis K stitcher my father used, it was made in 1946 cast iron. It’s heavy, we always kid around that if we are ever robbed that machine would still be there!

[@KAESowicz]

@@jesussaves4623 I see that they don't use grooving machine

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

The shoes were in excellent shape. Really liked the end results. Hope they serve him a long time. Thanks for the Bible verse today. Have a great weekend gentlemen.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it.

[@nasdaqua]

Trenton and Heath share their wonderful souls repairing multiple soles for the public; exquisite work gentlemen. May you each keep up your labor of love.

[@TrentonHeath]

I like it! Thank you very much.

[@BingoBongoBingerz]

You guys, and Bedo's LeatherWorks LLC is all I need from KZbin for shoe repair videos. This is by far your best work on KZbin. I'd be to afraid to wear them

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you so much!

[@BrandonCooper1]

Fantastic. I'm not a big fan of loafers in general, but I love the flair and attention to detail here. Costly? Yes, but that kind of renovation is definitely worth it.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@no1bandfan]

This has been my favorite new channel for the past few months. As someone who works on their feet for 60 odd hours a week, I can really appreciate the work you guys put into these shoes. It's also changed my opinion on what you should expect out of the shoes, and the companies, you put on your feet.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for watching! Glad you’re enjoying them.

[@jonelsorel]

Guys, it's almost therapeutic watching you work. I'm grateful that what you do still exists today, in a world set on replacing rather than repairing.

[@bambicrosby120]

i find these videos very soothing. i worked in shoe shop for 24 1/2 years in the sloe deptment so watching you fix soles and restoring soles is very famalier and enjoy very much

[@none3988]

I haven't known many cars that were worth more than $450! But it's always a pleasure to watch you guys.

[@tap1799]

Just great watching craftsmen at work, ty for sharing

[@Samuel-ge7im]

Great video Gents very cool to see you guys go all out and have some extra fun. 😄

i have watched other cobblers and you guys give this specific look that i really enjoy. It looks imperfect but perfect.

Excellent job, you guys truly are masters of your craft 👍👍👍👍

[@pamelamarshall471]

[@tripeee58]

Wow! The more I watch the more I am amazed at the beauty and variety of shoes! Along with that the expertise, craftsmanship and artistry of you shoe makers! It is truly an art form.

[@roberthoffhines5419]

Beautiful! Still marvelling at the AE resole you guys did for me last spring...pure artistry! What timing, I've just recently been convinced I need to "up" my belt game. Checking Anson site now!

[@galou0090]

Lately I've been considering Tassle Loafers more and more after years of hating them and this video helped! What a gorgeous pair of shoes, and awesome sole

[@marcmckenzie5110]

That was the most beautiful shoe tree I've ever seen! I love watching your skill and integrity in action

[@firdausasyraf7965]

really amazed with the final product. the work that did you did with the soles is excellent. love the colour and personal touches. made me feel like i want people to see the soles instead of the upper. and ughhh the upper. i love it. very wise decision to use two different colours of shoe cream. really bring out how fine the leather ages. i have nothing but the highest respect for what you guys do. i dont live in the States one day if I do, you will be my go-to guys for shoe repairing. hope both of you can keep doing this!

[@Chercht]

I find it absolutely amazing how you work the knife on different kinds of leathers, seperating layers and cutting corners always in a smooth motion... looks like it takes a good amount of force and control and therefor lots of experience. Thats real craftsmanship.

[@gregorythomas2674]

Looks great guys! Impressive work. Didn't even know PM made shoes. You punched them up proper! Great sole work! Look forward to your next post!

[@PewDieMilk]

This is a lost SKILLSET to have, and it takes passion, love, and deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when working on each pair, I just found your channel and I am in complete LOVE, with your work 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😍

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

What a rebuild, you guys knocked it out of the park! They look 200% better than before.

[@paulallensalawey518]

This is my FAVORITE VIDEO of them all

[@barrymantelli8011]

Thanks for the tip! I got right on and ordered 3 belts and 2 buckles. Smoking great deal!

[@DarkFire515]

Wow those look amazing! Doubtless well beyond the quality of the shoes when they left the factory. Very impressive.

[@gypsygirltarot2451]

Wow, I do so enjoy the before and after. You guys are artists!

[@curtissmith5875]

Love the pride you put into the shoe wear. Excellent.

[@Wapaz]

Always impressed with the cutting of the channel for the blind stitch. Such precision. And nice to finally see a pair of shoes that has been cleaned before sending it to the guys. :)

[@TrentonHeath]

Haha... thank you!

[@chauntikleer]

I wonder how many soles I'd need to ruin (and fingers I'd need to bloody) before I got the hang of making such a precise cut. It looks like it's less than a millimeter from the bottom of the sole.

[@SirLoxley7]

they look really good, what amazing craftsman , lovely!

[@janenedelfraino8144]

Very impressive work...fine craftmanship, gentleman. I really enjoyed watching this great video. I am sure your customer will be very pleased with this well done job, & happy with their shoes.😊

[@dantejaiudijr2792]

Great job on those shoes!!! My grandfather worked for Stanley Tools, New Britain, Connecticut. When he passed, my grandmother gave me the moulded steel shoe horn of different sizes. He was the old school Italian who used work on his shoes and stiched them up by hand. Never a boring moment when I was a kid.

[@jmartin2778]

Customer: I need to have my shoes refurbished. T&H: What do you want done to them? Customer: I want more cowbell. T&H: Say no more.

[@jondo9919]

Your pride in workmanship and craftsmanship shine through. Folks who are pros and who know what they are doing make it look easy. Kind of like watching a major league hitter send a fastball over the left field fence, looks easy until you try it.

[@cesarmg4642]

You guys are the most elegant shoe makers that I have ever seen. I have never seen before people dressed like you to do a job like this. Regards from Mexico 🇲🇽

After watching this channel I've become somewhat of a novice cobblyist? Cobbler/hobbyist. Hunting for the shoes at yard sales, thrift stores, etc... is like going on a treasure hunt and the result of the finished product is very rewarding. Thanks for the inspiration guys!

It's of such high level workmanship and these gentlemen really do fine work. I sure enjoy watching this channel and I am looking for some shoes to send you to be fixed. :)
