I can't believe this landed on my timeline but I'm glad it did. My grandad was a shoe repairer, had his own shop in Birmingham, he sadly passed away some time ago now but i still remember a few of these processes from when he had his machinery in his workshop at home and as a hobby repaired friends and family shoes.

Great job, I remember back in the day we had shoe cobblers here in my city in Texas. Just know your amongst a dying breed. Hats off to you and the remaining shoe cobblers. 👍

[@MrThomas2587]

I never would have thought that shoe repair would be interesting. However, your channel has me back many times to watch your videos! You are certainly very easy on the eyes. Keep it up!!

[@iamtimqueen]

Thank you, Dan! Seeing your incredible craftsmanship in action is deeply meditative. Your repairs feel like they are at least 100 times more durable than the originals. If you ever think about starting your own shoe brand, sign me up. I would definitely buy a pair or two!

[@Dan_the_cobbler]

My pleasure!

[@hans-peterluttke7321]

Lol that's with the most stuff, even good products are as best as the finance appartment would let it be and could be mostly easlily upgraded for small money. But then there would be depreciation, if it is a collectors item and not fully original. - but on the other hand, if you use something for its purpose it will mostly automatically depreciate, so it doesnt matter.

[@lynn69jackson]

If you use someone like Dan, who is a cobbler and not just someone trained to put soles and heels on, you get a quality job. It's a case of getting what you pay for, especially when the shoes that are being repaired are expensive to start with. I'm sure that if he ever started making bespoke mens shoes , they would be better quality than most of the named luxury brands.

[@SuperheroJunior]

​@@Dan_the_cobbler Those shoes are beautiful.

[@lachyt5247]

@@lynn69jackson Making a bespoke shoe is 90% about last design, and proportions, most of his work we see is structural and reconditioning. He's very good at it but you're comparing two completely different professions. This comment section is also comparing manufacture at scale with small scale one off. Of course you get better quality with a one off shoe, you can go out and choose the absolute best calf and materials, and its very easy to make it almost perfect because its your only focus. Getting those same materials and quality control when you're making hundreds of shoes per week is an entirely different matter. That is why people rave about makers like Edward Green, because they make a consistent, excellent product at scale.

[@vault7137]

I love watching people who take such pride in their work and do it so well. People are so wasteful these days; there's something to be said for buying quality items and taking care of them. My dad taught us to always take care of our belongings. It was an interesting process. Well done!

Have you ever tried to iron out the creases, it works for me on Jordan’s and other leather trainers. I stuff the toe with paper to make the creases flat and then put a wet towel over the toe and then iron over the towel. Works perfectly. Not sure if it would work on these types of shoes as obviously the leather is a higher quality but just a thought

My father was a shoe maker. Watching this, remindes me of working in his shop. His supplier was Persy adlere. Back in 1990 he'd charge about £10. He'd also channel the groove by hand for the blake stiching then fold the the material back over. He also would have painted the sole and polished it on the finisher. I wish i had taken the time to learn his trade, but alas i was more interested in fixing cars. I remember the smell in the shop, watching this brings back all those memories from when he was alive.

[@8jaime8]

Nice work! The tapering of the soles’ edges was a lovely touch and showed great attention to detail. Flat, square-edged soles are actually a dead giveaway for Louboutin knock-offs, and can make an otherwise excellent resoling look cheap. Your rebuild was top notch. That shoe owner should consider getting Topy sole protectors put on any new shoes. Normally I wouldn’t put them on ‘good’ shoes, but that’s some long-term, determined trashing of footwear, so extreme measures may be necessary. 😂 The red synthetic you put on will serve the same purpose in this case.
