I k.r. makes me look at shoes different now and rethink my next buy now with a tiny bit of knowledge how they are built . I have 1 pair of good military boots from Haix that are pretty down after 6 years (can't complain for150 €) now but they have a synthetic foam sole molded on. I don't know if you can resole this style, have to check some more videos from Dan the Cobbler with ❤ and sole 😉

Can you do a video to tell people how you got into your profession/trade? I remember when we had a cobbler in our neighborhood when I was a young boy. He did miracles with our footwear and leather accessories. He showed me the value of saving instead of spending. He helped my mother save a lot of money on footwear for children, and her own footwear. I always thought of this line of work as stereotypically being an old man’s profession or trade, but thank you for showing the world that passion of a profession or trade is ageless. Many blessings and luck to your bright future sir. You’re truly an epitome of what work should be; a job you love that’s never really work. Can’t wait for that video about how you got started in this, and how you put together such a great shop and business.

Dainite soles were made in Market Harborough, Leicestershire at the Harboro' Rubber Company's Dainite Mills, so called because they worked day and night = dai-nite. Production went to China, I think, a few years ago, as the old and new factories are both derelict.
