GYM SQUAT SHOES Repaired // Strength Shop Weightlifting shoes restoration // PLUS ... New Channel?!

[@user-tc9fk2dh7x]

I’m the owner of these shoes! Dan was an absolute gentleman and the work was flawless. The shoes have to be functionally perfect to handle heavy squats and technical perfect to make sure they meet strict competition guides. This guys a shoe magician!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Thanks buddy my pleasure to help, hope they’re helping you smash pr’s

[@rafaelfarias993]

It’s true, I was the shoes. Incredible job Dan

[@MischeifMakerz]

It’s true, I was the glue. Excellent job Dan!

[@billsmcdonald3856]

Were they ever “technically perfect”. What are these strict competition guidelines? Never had mine checked. I do love an old wooden heel though. Feel solid and make a great sound when weightlifting.

[@user-tc9fk2dh7x]

@@billsmcdonald3856 the height of the inner shoe to the floor can not be higher than 50mm.

[@TheFrizbaloid]

“I’ve only got one hole left in stock.” 😂 Great customer banter!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Just got home after a 12h hospital shift and this was the sweetest thing to see after a tough day. The apron looks awesome 🔥 you are a kind human being! Thank you Dan 🙌🏻

Sturdy apron....🥃

[@babybarber7916]

Really been interested in seeing you work on a more “modern” sneaker designed shoe vs the classy leather ones. Very interesting to watch! 👍🏻

[@Snugglez187]

Everybody report these scammer spam messages! 👆

[@modisgabor]

That jet powered VW looks gorgeous!

[@Tinytraveler]

I found you by this channel, and for a long time I enjoyed your content. Your secondary fitness channel is a gem! Anyone reading this should explore it, I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did!

[@jleroux9620]

The fact that you can take any shoe and restore it to better than the original is an art-form.

[@hexum9449]

I love how you throw in interesting little tidbits, like the shed and those super high heel shoes. I love your work.

[@MsTJPink]

I love the 'flippingdrawers' channel, I watch it all the time! Nice apron!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you Pinkhill🥰

[@whitevader007]

Far far away in the past I was an active bodybuilder. Never did competitions, but used it as a reason to learn how to focus & meditate in the sportvibe. Now I use this focus & meditation in a form of painrelief and moving my partly torn muscles.

[@kristensmith6042]

That new apron is wonderful. It was cool to see you repair those shoes with wood. 😊😊

[@davidsotier1546]

Probably one of the coolest recraftings I have ever seen. Well done Dan. As a cobbler intern this shows me how much we really can think out of the shoe box. 😊

[@chellybub]

They use ladder lacing in the catering corps so if you spill boiling water or oil down your boots you can quickly cut them off. I think it looks cool! This was a great episode 😁 you did an amazing job on the squatters ❤️

[@Snugglez187]

This scammer spam is unbelievable! 👆

[@slug534]

The belt hole joke was excellent 👏🏻

I love car stuff so thanks for showing your dad’s shop as well!

I just signed up for Dan the Cobbler. Reg and Ronnie made me.

[@happyboater3058]

Dan, my wife and I just need to tell you how entertaining snd positive you are in your videos. We think you are/should be a movie star as you are as cool and natural as anyone out there. You are an awesome shoemaker as well making it all look so easy!!!! You are great!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Appreciate that!!!

[@ronachavez3421]

Great job Dan watching your videos makes want to learn the trade .

[@DenTekEasyReachFloss]

Dan, really cool video; I love how you continue to break the mold on these videos and keep bringing me back!

[@FergsFunSpot]

Dan - thanks for the hospitality yesterday when we dropped by the shop from the USA. Tring is a great town and I love your shop! Best wishes from TN!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Pleasure to meet you buddy, hope you enjoyed the trip to Tring and managed to find a good hot chocolate!

[@CaptainEO27]

I'm just here to watch Dan use some power tools and do some squats!

[@koalaraeb3626]

I would love to see reactions of people when they receive their shoes back! The work you do is magnificent and I’m sure they’re all astounded

[@markmilan01]

Another one Dan! That was cool Seeing a different kind of shoe being worked on! Great job!

[@finfan83]

Lovely apron, will be great and esthetic piece of gear for all your cobbler duties. 7:25 - yaay the mysterious intestines of the machine ! Dan will fix everything, from dress shoes to squat shoes ! 19:59 - yay, the beast is roaring back

[@fannycraddock99]

That was something completely different Dan. What an amazing job you made. Nice to see Chris the chair man, loving my Orange Box chair all thanks to your channel.

[@Snugglez187]

Beware of the "telegram" scammer messages. 👆

[@manillabee1836]

Very interesting! There is a noticeable difference when wearing the squat shoes! Without them, there is almost a popping movement in the hip area- looks like it could be dangerous!

[@stratvm]

extremely high level of craftmanship. way better than the original sole

[@crusiethmaximuss]

5:50 Wowzers!!! Totally unexpected yet greatly appreciated to see this kind of content on your channel!!!

[@Naturalhighz]

Never knew about the reason for the squat shoes, my gym has some wedges you can place on the floor while squatting so might try those next time.

[@jmatt4life]

YaY!!! Today I have to binge watch all videos on the new channel before I fall behind!

[@Snugglez187]

These came out great. Makes me want to send in my old weightlifting shoes for some upgrades. I'm a little old for weightlifting now (42 in a few days 😬), but I can definitely still use them for squatting.

[@sodorflubbs5000]

Just went and joined flipping drawers. Nice one Dan.

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Good stuff!

[@Flippingdrawers]

Thank you 🤗

[@diobolikal1230]

Great work.... Your skill level is truly pleasant to watch.. Cheers 🥃

Awesome video Dan!!!! Thanks for sharing !!!

[@stefanonicola3445]

Great video as usual. Oklahoma Willy is one heck of a creation! It's nice to see young people with such a passion for their job, it's also a plus that you just seem like a genuinely cool chap.

[@chriscass_strong]

I reckon this could be one of the best yet. Such good work creating that new heel block by hand!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Even better than your shoes now!

[@tonygloster3483]

That’s a new one to me a wooden wedge heel great work Dan 👍

[@noobaccasolo]

Oh man, that reveal of the Oklahoma Willy just sent me on a great journey of discovery, ending in finding out it was this very jet bug that I saw on TV at the Austrian Grand Prix this year in the background of the broadcast, the Austrian commentators were absolutely floored! Awesome thing your dad got going there!

[@rocioilusionista]

Really awesome video!! 👏👏👏

[@boitoiful]

The new apron is really fine Dan. Those shoes you refurbished here are awesome. You make it look so easy! OH, and ah, well those blue sparkly high heels....with the big bulky fronts, I think are too dangerous for you to do squats in. They look a bit too small and I think you should make a couple of wedges and somehow attach them to those tiny heels. I dunno Dan. I think they just aren't YOU. Just sayin..... Say! They might fit Chris tho...have him givem a go. Ron reported that he nearly went into a moult when he saw those things! Love ur vids and I did let my imagination go over the heels. hehe J

[@ttop64]

Working on a squatting shoe is a good way segue into your new channel.

That belt sander with the rough belt on it takes no prisoners 😂😂

[@yapolloable]

Do a restoration of common project with the original sole soon!

[@noble-customs5401]

Wondering if you have not done so, if you could do a machine and tool tour video, explaining you machines and tools and the history of them. Maybe some beginners cobbler advice aswell.

Dan the Chinese character on the shoe is the word for power!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@NONO-hz4vo]

After living in Japan for a few years the first thing I thought was that is KA the Japanese character for power, totally forgetting they ripped off all the Kanji from China. Ironic that now China rips a lot of the technology off of Japan.

Hello Dan! i'm curious. you think its possible to add heel to an old rubber shoe? example like an old Nike Metcon, remove the old sole and put wooden heel?
