OK I live in the U.S. and I will do the conversion but I want to know how much a complete rebuild like that would cost me if I brought that pair of shoes to you for that job. I have several pairs of cowboy boots and over the years after having them resolved I know I have spent more than the cost of a new pair of boots but the cost is spread out over about 30 years. Thank you for a great video of your craftsmanship.

Nice pipes!! It's great to see that there are still people carrying on a very useful craft. An awful lot of people buy junk shoes and boots (foreign made) these days and they cannot be repaired. I believe in quality and paying for it because it does last if properly taken care of. I had 3 pair of Frye boots which I could no longer wear and gave two pair away to friends and one pair to my sister. She is still wearing them 45 years later and they look almost new. I paid $175.00 for them in 1982 and they're still going strong. But because I had them resoled before they wore down to the stacked leather heel the repairs never cost me much. Nice job on the overhaul of the Ferragamo's.

I must agree with other comments, sitting here bore then this video pops up and this lad is repairing shoes?? Say what?? I watched the whole thing and it was very interesting. Great little shop and great talent passed on to this young man. Very proud of you sir to keep this craft alive!! This is like watch repair, a dying art...gotta tell ya, those metal tips where so cool. You should do a video (not sure if you did) of the best vintage or leather shoes to buy on ebay. If I get me a pair used I know where to send them now😁👍💯🍻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I wish we still had cobblers here in the States. I remember an Amish man in Ohio. My grandpa took me with him. You could sit and watch the repair. Just amazing.

WOW! I've briefly visited a few shoe repair stores. But, I never really stuck around long enough to notice the process. Your video gave me a great education on this incredibly art. Watching you it is obvious that you love what you do and give every detail your full attention and passion. I had open heart surgery a few years ago and really hope that my surgeon had the same dedication and skill that you do. BRAVO!!!!

Dan, last year I picked up the Santoni Italian penny loafer/black at Goodwill in immaculate condition for $8.00. Watching your videos I conditioned the leather including the soles then polished like 5 times. Use cedar shoe trees. I never would of know how to care for unbelievably high end shoes. Thank you…

I didn't know as much about shoe repairs before watching this video, but what I liked the most was seeing a fellow tradesman doing his work with so much care to detail, passion and dedication whilst being fairly young. Respect for your work!

Great job there. My grandpa did this hiw whole life, even at the end of his life he would go to his small shop that looked like it came from those '50's movies (because it actually did) i allways found a special charm to it, spent many afternoons with him just hanging around watchim him doing his amazing form of art, as i considere it, not just a job. My biggest regret is that i never learned his art tho he was more than willing to teach me. There's something special about having those old shoes you liked and felt confortable in but that were used by time back to life and shiny as new all thanks to the dedication of someone that loves his job (yes its an hard one, trust me) but in the end like my grandpa used to say, "there's allways something rewarding when u see the custumer's reaction when you hand them their repaired shoes and knowing they'll last at least a few more years instead of them having to go buy brand new low quality made shoes that will literaly desintegrate themeselves in few months".
