RepairingThe Worlds Strongest Man's CROCS! - Featuring Eddie Hall

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Very special guest today, thanks Eddie for being a good sport and sending your crocs up for repair! Let me know who else we should have on the channel!

[@Ch4MMPBoi]

Great guest choice! The Beast! And excellent work, Dan. Gotta get Brian Shaw on the channel, too! Would love to see you work on a pair of/describe the difference of a true pair of Olympic Weightlifting shoes!

[@WrightsW5]

David Dickinson 😃

[@richarderbe678]

Too much. Follow both channels. Great matchup.

[@Ronatron]

@Dan_the_cobbler maybe have editor blur out Eddie's address where he opens the box at 18 m 24 s

[@FulSxndzEnt.]

One of these days I need to send you my cowboy boots to fix them.

[@seanbond1008]

The collaboration I never thought I'd see, and I'm here for every second of it.

[@Electro_Dude]

Dan and Eddie collab I never expected it

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Yet here we are! 💪🏻

[@renegade-master29]

Don't be silly. Eddie's like dog poop he gets everywhere, lol

[@allenbalcom2191]

I like that you are repairing and upgrading something that is meant to be disposable.

[@georgedawson235]

For someone who could easily afford new ones, just brilliant!

[@MacDKB]

Restoring & resoling Crocs? I have officially seen everything...

[@ToxicMrSmith]

Ever seen a man eat his own head?

[@mosesjeromelazaro2841]

am I the only one who thought that you can't repair footwear like this. this is incredible

[@jesseward6938]

The reason most people don't repair shoes like this is that it usually costs the same or more than a new pair. The unfortunate thing is that shoes that are easier and worth repairing are pricey. It was really cool to see the process of how it works.

[@mosesjeromelazaro2841]

@@jesseward6938 I was more coming from a place where the whole footwear is one whole rubber item. I didn't think it was possible to do it like he does on a normal leather shoe where you can see there are different parts.

10:04 Yooo the O'l mate her-dur 6 hundos music thru me for a loop there for a sec

As a croc aficionado (I have CRPS which is an autoimmune disease and I have trouble putting regular shoes on now and feel pain from regular shoes) I’m loving this.I have croc boots,furry winter crocs and summer crocs and I didn’t know toy could resole them!!

[@andersjjensen]

That replacement sole costs more than the shoe. Add Dan's wage on top and you can probably buy every Crock in your collection. But a super fun project to watch.

[@federalagent7334]

I saw this in my recommended, and I was shocked to see two of my hobbies/interests overlapping in this way. Never thought I'd see Eddie Hall in a Dan the cobbler video 😂

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

It's a brave new world

[@PeteSharp]

I have been replacing my crocs every year ,for the last 10yrs as I wear them every day working from home and they turn into slicks in that year(dangerous in winter) but, now I have options to have new soles 👏👏👏 Great video Dan 🎉

[@leonardhpls6]

Or just buy real shoes. These are for little kids

[@barrymantelli8011]

​@@leonardhpls6spoken like somebody who has never worn crocs... they're excellent.

[@nichole8609]

Those were some dirty Crocs, and I was quite surprised how well they turned out. Crocs needs to design a pair just for Eddie based off of your repair. This was fantastic.

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Thank you glad you liked it!

[@tdotw77]

Crocs makes multiple pairs of Crocs with actual rubber 'sneaker' type tread on the bottom. I have a pair worn daily around the house. I got these specifically because of the sole on bottom has real tread & traction, unlike the regular version that's very slippery on water especially when worn smoother like these ones. Also has nice Velcro adjustable '4x4' heel straps(would've been better for this customer?) so you can get the heel fit correctly. Nice to see these brought back & upgraded, I really like that sole tread, looks very grippy. 👌🏻👍🏻

[@pacobell97]

​@tdotw77 It's wild how many types of crocs there are. But the more shoe/moccasin style crocs that you are talking about are so much nicer than the soft rubber foam types and more comfortable imo.

[@stimu1us]

Brilliant collaboration - hats off to you both!

[@1aikane]

Love seeing a man exercising his craft. You're the best. Enjoy every episode

[@Unionglazier]

Always hydrate your crocs..

[@stevenbrown8857]

Absolutely brilliant vid Dan, and work. Eddy always comes across as real human, a proper decent bloke

[@jlouutube65]

As a maker and hand bag restorer, I am fascinated with your techniques and the products/glues you use!!

[@TheGeoff]

would have never expected you could resole crocs! great work!

[@cat9lives999]

I like seeing different types of footwear. All terrain Crocs were delightful.

[@rhymetimeuk]

Wow, fantastic job! Loved seeing the colab, awesome stuff gents, thank you!

[@TheJvonc]

Great job Dan as always. As much as I enjoy the cobbler side of the business, I always enjoy the personal touch when you offer a segment that includes your car! Keep up the great work!

[@DoubleD19788]

Another kickass video Dan! Super cool collab. And those eyes on the crocodiles shoes were cool as hell!!

[@analyseadams9654]

You quite literally can do anything with shoes! That’s amazing! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Naeidea]

Two of my favourites in one video! Love this video!!

[@kristensmith6042]

Always excited for a new Dan the Cobbler video!! You never disappoint 👏🏻👏🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻💪🏻💪🏻😊😊

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Thanks a million Kristen!

[@AlexVonCrank]

You are never a former WSM. You are just a winner in that year. Once you win, you are forever referred to as WSM or 'a' WSM or ×××× year's WSM.

[@williamcaudill1796]

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought to see anyone I would recognize on here. Amazing!

[@richarderbe678]

Awesome. Eddie needs to highlight this on his channel.

[@patricefranco9813]

Hi dan super vidéo et restauration comme toujours continue comme ça t est le meilleur 🇨🇵🇬🇧❤

[@harrycushing]

Public Service Announcement: the badges and such that go into the holes in crocs have the official name of "Gibbits"

[@davegower123]

I don’t think Crocs ever looked so good. Cheers! 👍🍻😊

[@Exar_Kun]

I could totally see a Guy Ritchie film taking place in Dan’s shop. Gotta admit that would be AWESOME!!

[@dizzle1119]

Watching Eddie absolutely slay in that 2 vs 1 MMA fight was one of the funniest things ever. The same man is power bombed and then obliterated with a KO punch all within about 2 seconds...

[@ac9110]

Excellent video Dan. Always a pleasure to see what you're getting up to over there in Tring.😃👍

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I didn't think you could make crocs look that good, Dan! Well done, lad.

[@raytaylor452]

shoutout to Eddie for not just throwing out shoes. Brons and the crocs have new life! kudos!

[@xXCOR3Xx]

you should do some indept videos on how the machines all work

[@yannick_bzh3325]

Great video Dan !! Love how passionate you are in your job. Keep up the good work.

[@-MacCat-]

I can fully understand the retreading of sentimentally attached Crocs. I have gone "a over t" many times on my slick Crocs. I never thought it was possible to restore until now.

[@MrBayoublue]

This is pretty cool. I watch a lot of Eddie's videos and to see him on Dan's channel is really cool.

[@happisakshappiplace.6588]

Eddie meets Dan, never thought I'd see this crossover. :D

[@MisterAwesomesauce1]

I came to this video with a skeptical attitude, wondering what one could actually do to fix up a nappy old pair of crocs. I left delighted and informed. Thank you!

[@મહંમદમુલ્લા]

Who would have ever thought, Eddie featuring on Dan's channel ❤ amazing work buddy

[@xwiick]

Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Thanks man

[@Yaburnt420]

I'd love to do this all day everyday, but man it take some skill. Keep up the great work Dan!

[@nwi_aztec]

I wear a US size 15 in Crocs and have to replace them every couple of years. One thing I've noticed is that the sizing is inconsistent because they're made in in multiple countries now. Fortunately heating or cooling them lets you adjust the size a little bit and it makes for a nice snug fit. Probably my favorite thing about Crocs is that the insole shapes to your foot over time and makes them real comfortable.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

I've noticed that size discrepancy in a lot of clothing these days. I'm a UK size 10.5 in footwear. If I buy Nike and they were made in China, I have to buy a UK 12! If they were made in Bangladesh the same shoe, in the same shop, can be completely different in size. I'm not sure if you have the foot measuring things in the USA (I assume you have. It's one of the things you stand on and move a slide up and down to find the correct foot size) but I've stood on one of those wearing a Bangladesh made pair of Adidas and it said one foot was a UK size 9 while the other was a UK size 13... Both were marked as a UK 10 😂

[@nwi_aztec]

@madMARTYNmarsh1981 A Brannock Device? Yeah we have those. One thing I know for sure is that Nike shoes tend to have a more narrow toe box. I've been mostly wearing New Balance these days. Though when I get groceries or just out to pick up food I wear my Crocs because they're so comfortable.

[@patrickedwards5804]

Toe jam.. Nice way of putting it. The preservatives in my shoes are something else. 😅

[@tonygloster3483]

Great job Dan crocs back to better than new also a great refresh to the trainers ❤

[@Rom....]

Put the beast pin on the strap and now 4x4 mode is beast mode ❤

[@nR-kv7xo]

Lol no idea why I got recommended this. Absolutely awesome craftsmanship.

[@spudgun4286]

The beauty of crocs is the fact you can cut new tread with a Stanley knife at least three times before they’re too thin. 😂

[@RHC78]

Really impressed with that. Great video! 👍🏽

[@WorldsStrongestFan]

Good work as usual Dan!💪🏼 Also just to say I’ve bought Saphir cream from you in the past and the price and delivery were spot on!👌🏼

[@MarkGerald78]

Wow. I started a new job last week and a guy who is training me looks just like Eddie Hall. I told him that! And bang. I am watching a cobbler repair the Beasts crocs,lol. PS. not just any cobbler. But Dan the man.

Thanks Dan, nice to see you, keep up the good work.

simply mesmerazing to watch your work, Sir. Cheers from Brazil

Brilliant, amazing job who would have thought you could fix crocs.

[@TravelingMerchant643]

this guy is very professionell, a sight seen rarely these days on youtube.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

This is one of the reasons I watch. There is no attempt to be fake. He does his thing and is himself doing it. It is very refreshing to have a normal bloke be genuine.

[@Rod000]

Killing it Dan. Cool collab! You ever find yourself in Seattle pints on me!!

[@nickp3173]

You should've done a proper leather strap with rivets! Cmon man! It was open for the taking!! custom crocs lmao. Always loved Eddie Hall. Thanks for the video you two. The Brons really needed a sole swap, but the vibrams will do!

[@TheLincolnshireFlyer]

Thank you for the video 👍😊

[@JohnChrysostom101]

Can't believe how well the crocs went Great Job!

[@ElevatedSkins]

Those came out super sick

[@Belnick6666]

but the inside "sole" that feels nice when new is still worn down :o

[@VR46Monster]

i could not imagine how are you gonna blend the sole, on shoe that does not have one even when its new :DD they must be really good now, the worn sole on original crocs can hurt when walking on gravel... this beasts are ready even for offroad

[@therealmeachy71]

That is so wild, working on a pair of $30 foam shoes. The repair and shipping probably cost three times the cost of the shoes. But hey, no one else will have those crocs, for sure!

[@Mikesxrs300]

Eddie and Dan collab was not in my 2024 bingo card

[@ParaFear24]

I dunno how I ended up here, but I can’t get my mind off Eddie sitting there in his crocs and duck speedos watching this video 🤣🤣🤣 I enjoyed this video 🤌🤌

[@andersjjensen]

LOL! I like how you treated a piece of injection molded foam as if it was a shoe worth any consideration. They cost bugger all, so I'm sure the Saphir cream you put on them doubled their value. That said: Crocks are my favorite home slippers. They are so soft and comfy for walking around the house.

Wow looking Dam good mate 🎉🎉🎉🎉 my man well done 🎉 ❤❤❤❤ love from Australia.Clay

Great video as always, I have some Timberland boots in the traditional colour, they are still in great condition but faded😢, I’d be grateful if you could suggest what to use to get them back to their former glory. Many thanks Kelly

[@frobro2250]

So cool my favorite cobbler and strongest man ive only found your channel a week ago and you've got Eddie on the channel so cool

[@KillSwitchNY]

Videos and cobblers like this are the reason I am attempting to save my manufacturer specified "non repairable" boots. No professionals want to touch them, understandably, but I will attempt a novice at home resole myself. 🤞

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

Have you asked Dan? At the very least, he could help you decide how to do it. Dan is the Louis Rossman of cobbling; repairing things manufacturers intended to be disposable and exposing them (although, nowhere near as viciously as Rossman does 😂) for the lies they tell about their eco-friendly credentials.

[@AndrewDrapper]

I guess for most of us, unless there is an emotional attachment, new crocs would be cheaper.

[@jmsmom67]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! Because let’s face it, who doesn’t like getting new shoes!

[@BaldMancTwat]

Not necessarily. Technically the cheapest option would be to just do what Dan did but do it yourself and on a tighter budget.

[@madMARTYNmarsh1981]

Dan, see if you can do the same for Tom Aspinall. This would create the holy trinity of collaborations!

[@Hybriddiag]

Its EVA material in its injectable molding form eva stands for ethyl vinyl acetate.

so when is the workout collab coming? maybe make it a leg day? its aways great to watch a youtube person barely be able to walk after the worst of all workouts possible, but that said you are really hitting the big times now! congrats on a collab!

Hey Dan came across your shorts on Facebook and absolutely love your work.

[@sunilpermaul7876]

How did you not do a video on the trainers?!? Even a short one would have been awesome man!! Maybe next time then, awesome video and very cool machinery. That multiple buffing wheel thing was amazing!!

Love seeing some shoes I can afford in the channel

[@ViktorSarge]

I hate Crocs but they're so fantastically comfortable that I wear them until there's gaping holes in the soles. Putting proper soles on them seems like a great first step, and I'd love to see a custom leather top as well :)
