Unbelievable transformation of these Ferragamo shoes

[@gurkov4e]

I grew up watching my dad doing what you do, back home in Bulgaria. He still does this. It feels like home watching you work. He loves ripping the whole shoe open in front of the customer and watching their face expression 😂 It's priceless! But then the reaction when they come pick it up and it looks like a new pair... You gotta love it! 👞👠👟🥿👢

[@stephenrobb8759]

Nodding .. yes ! The #1 thing I have learned from Steve -- if it ain't right-- Take it apart No fear.. just redo it

[@InterceptorOfDoom]

Поздрави !

[@aphastus]

My cobbler does the same, I always have a mini heart atack when he does that lol

[@ralphpalermo4356]

Hey Steve nobody should criticize your hands. My dad was a shoemaker. Your hands look a lot like his used to look. Any time some one mentioned his hands, he would tell them that they were the hands of a surgeon. 👍🏻😂

[@justanotherperson584]

Very good ....hands of a surgeon. Well said!

[@mikemike7146]

I can’t believe the before and after pictures. That’s insane. Amazing job.

[@alifan44]

Rebirth of an Italian classic! Thanks, Steve. The Italians don't take a backseat to anyone when it comes to leatherwork. Armenians are in the front seat as well! This, to me, is one of your finest jobs. Maybe I just really like those shoes, but, man, you knocked it out of the park on this project.

[@mikel1024]

MORE than just presentable Steve. As an amateur restorer of old Corvettes, I love seeing a tatty object brought back to life. Nothing more satisfying.

[@Viper1392000]

if only we had youtube back in the 90s all these little fixes could have saved me several pair of combat boots in the Army, fixing little gouges so they could be shined again, great video as always

[@davidtobias1]

24 years at Bragg we had some amazing Boot "fixers" and Boot "repairers".....but only a handful of "experts" that could pull the heel and toe counters during the 90's... Retired from USASOC in 2013....Lord knows the number of "tweaked" boots I own......

[@BlastReadingSeries]

A fake half-sole blind stitch is such a modern Italian shoe construction method... Now I know why they don't do this on shoes under $500... Great video, Steve! Cheers, man!

[@henryostman1199]

I don’t know why but I love watching Steve do his magic - a true craftsman

[@the-chillian]

All across the country, cobblers are suddenly deluged with orders for resoles with JR soles, dovetail heels, and blind stitching, and they're wondering why the hell so many customers suddenly seem to know these trade terms so well.

[@tshepobozzamotsoane8529]

👌Grew up watching my grandad doing dis job, he was a cobbler.

[@felicityblack3555]

i would have loved to see the owner unpack those shoes. they turned out amazing. you are a miracle worker

[@jennyelliottbrown6680]

I've soaked my face with your suggested anti wrinkle recipe, and folded my granny face lines the opposite way......... No difference what so ever !!!!!!!!

[@marcnshawny]

lol....I think the secret is in the alcohol soak......50% Gin to 50% tonic. You may still have some granny face lines......but you won't care. ; )

[@LynneWright]

😂😂😂

[@jennyelliottbrown6680]

I'm on it 😖 !!!!

[@lisamariepocza4377]

I thought the same thing, but then I figured I earned those lines. The smile lines, the laugh lines, I enjoyed getting those. I still hide the wisdom highlights in my hair though!

[@pontetusmonosqro3409]

It may only work on Cow hide. Not human skin!!! LOL

[@harryedwards9391]

Wow I used to fix the insides of my shoes with cardboard from cereal boxes , they’d feel ok for a couple of days then the holes in the soles would return I’m a plasterer these days with 40 years behind me I’ve just watched you Man .... wo my job entails tricks and patience but you and yours are Amazing ..... I’m not worthy !!!! It’s such a pleasure to get an insight into what a real Artist is all about I will never ever take a pair of shoes for granted again Your quite simply off of the scale !!!! Those poor old abused shoes must absolutely Adore you 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@martymahem236]

That's not a shoe repair. That's a work of art.

[@estern001]

I love the half blind stitch look. We , mere mortals, get to admire the finer details.

[@sjm_864]

I love that you find ways to trigger people, the imitation voice is perfect, I chuckled so loud. Thanks for the 50/50 spray bottle tip, restored a pair of Allen Edmonds McAllisters for my cousin for his wedding, the wrinkles and scratches were tedious.

[@rancelynch6514]

Steve, Rance here, what a transformation! You made a new pair of shoes .... this was a deal at $340.00. Another job beautifully done. Nothing but the "Best from Bedos."

[@garyvukich4059]

It’s a pleasure to watch an acomplished and dedicated professional! !!!!!!

[@TheLesporter]

Steve is evolving from master craftsman to pure magic. I can't believe some of these projects, the customer is very lucky to have found you. We viewers are lucky also. Thanks.

[@vheisshu]

i don’t know why i am here.but it’s satisfying to watch the details and efforts. thumbs up!

[@philfrydman2576]

Very presentable in fact ! Especially I appreciate the tapered inner angle of heal. Not often seen but well appreciated by the users.

[@roastedgerkin]

Don't know what's wrong with me, but I can watch your videos and haircut Harry's videos all day long 👍 Thanks for the relaxed and informative display of skills

[@PeteHowlett]

I will believe my eyes Steve - as a 'maker' I adore watching you work and everything you have filmed has shown you are a master-craftsman.

[@williamlouis3654]

Hello my friend.... watching your show, brought back memories. Growing up, I would hang out with the local cobbler in our neighborhood. Just watch him work... everything you use ,from the machines, buffers and all the tools , he used... to this day, I will not leave my house, unless my shoes are shinned. Growing up, I would shine shoes as a kid... my mother would give me her nylons that had runs in them... I would end the shinng using the nylons.. Great memories... love your show.... Thank you, William Louis....

[@brorow7660]

Great Job you really brought them back from the dead they look excellent

[@hemigod2]

I could probably guess what song is playing in your head from the rhythm of the sound of your cutting knife to that sole. Stiev you are the man.sir !

[@twinslotaddicts]

To me this is even more impressive than yesterday’s video where you replaced the soles of those new Alden shell Naval boots. The care you took in the restoration of the leather uppers is just immense and the transformation was absolutely fantastic!!! Such a master craftsmen, TYFS!!!

[@manderpandersalamander9977]

That nice cool-toned brown with that brilliant cobalt looks stunning!! 💙🤎

[@timothychristian1347]

Steve, you are more than a Cobbler. You're a Genius at restoring footwear.

[@jkdmak]

Thanks to your videos, I will from now on invest in a quality pair of shoes and looking forward to have a cobbler fix them. I am in awe at your passion and craftsmanship! Cheers from Norway 🍻

[@cheongyei]

Fantastic effort. Such workmanship!

[@Orwic1]

Incredible! An amazing difference. No exaggeration to say you brought those shoes back to life. A shoe resurrection!!

[@philclinton9430]

Just half the way through the video and I am gobsmacked. My father left me his pair of Nettleton Spectator shoes and based on this video you may be able to bring them back to life. These shoes were some of his prized possessions. Let's continue :)

[@drumvannelle69]

Hi Steve, how are you? The two pairs you did for me are still going stronger 👏

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

AWSOME

[@MichaelCarmichael]

Great workmanship achieved a lovely transformation of these Ferragamos. More.

[@novembermiss]

More than presentable, you worked a miracle with these shoes and made them better (and sturdier) than new. I love watching your handbag videos especially, but this one is now in my top 5, because you showed us how you transformed the uppers. I'm sure the customer will get many more years of wear out of these and he must have been very happy with the way they turned out. Beautiful job!

[@Itainttrickingifugotit]

Wooow! I watched this whole video just to see the finished product, and it came out great!

[@JavaRacingCo]

Thank you for explaining things in detail! Like .. that you have to move the rag each time you apply acetone. 👍🏻

[@Stoeff1987]

Best video in months - love it!

[@pepevonkek7803]

Steve is type of guy I want to send best high-end footwear to rip them apart and make them better. Good craftsmanship!

[@laurap.5804]

First time I could see such a great work...my compliments!!!!!!!! You are a great artisan

[@imaoregonbum6683]

They look so Good everybody watched part of it twice!

[@mancamoes]

You're the best. Unbelievable work. Congrats.

[@susanoneida1723]

The blue sole is absolutely fantastic!

[@hughcamp2730]

Your work is peerless ! The Ferragamo's look better and are put together better than factory . Fine cobbling

[@batchjs]

Beautiful result Steve! Love the blue dye on the JR soles and the dovetail heel cap treatment. Owner will be proud to wear those Ferragamos for years to come.

[@tehammel]

Great job!! One of my grandfathers was a cobbler. He was born in 1872 and immigrated to baltimore from Austria-Hungary.

[@giorgiolupinacci7301]

My friend was a shoe maker in Italy...noble profession...cheers

[@NicolaP269]

I think this is the most interesting video about the refurbishing of a pair of shoes, the other of great value as these Ferragamo. Technique and great experience confirm the title of the video. Excellent job, Steve.

[@matthewwoodward2738]

Steve any chance you could do a detailed video on how to care, condition wax etc leather shoes? What are some things to use and what steps to do in which order? I’d be most grateful. Thanks, Matt

[@HenrikWind]

I and especially my shoes would like that too.

[@sjm_864]

Matt definitely check out Kirby Allison’s channel, the Elegant Oxford is another one as well. You have to be patient, use references as a guide and ultimately figure out what works best for you. Be patient, it is worth it!

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

[@bassheadlife492]

Kirby was my inspiration

[@BingoBongoBingerz]

Finally managed to watch this properly. For some reason I could only watch 3 minutes and not the full video. The end result is phenomenal. Great job

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I fixed it

[@scottwallace1]

Crazy! Nice work!!! What patience. What an artist!!!

[@greghart007]

I love when you say at the end... I think they look presentable... when we are saying HOLY CRAP. Amazing Job!

[@eloycavazos2816]

Amazing! Bringing shoes back to life is your specialty Steve!

[@mrshally454]

Wow... Amazing work. There is a little bit of a double up on a part of the video. Where you’re talking about the dying and buffing and conditioning of the leather.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

I did edit it so it will be a few hours before KZbin changes it

[@morrisdeutsch6175]

Unreal transformation! Awesome job!

[@she1440]

Hi Steve, this is a real "Once Upon A Time.....and then....."Happy Ever After. Your work is truly AMAZING! Much love and respect from the UK 👍

[@Arfabiscuit]

From what they were to what they are your best job yet bravo young one .

[@johnmana]

This guy, 2 days in a row. How cool. Awesome! Let's get started.

[@robinholtzclaw6131]

When you meet your maker you can tell him you save souls to. Really I’m an older lady and you are an artist, better workmanship than the people making them. I wish I could afford them shoes to have you fix them.

[@kennethmcelrath3468]

I love how squeaky your voice gets when say "Let's Continue"🤣🤣

[@amcconnell6730]

Reminds me of Paulie, from the Rocky movies. :)

Big difference, awesome job my friend. 👍👍

you are a true master of your craft.

[@legioner9]

Great work. Those shoes look superb. And that blue underside, just wow.

[@MrJdeleon11]

Don’t worry about any comments from negative people. You have the amount of followers you have for a reason. “The tallest tree catches the most wind.”

[@spamham1976]

Steve Wow I can’t believe you have a Minas Polychronakis apron. He was a good friend of the family and a Legend Cretan Cobbler in NYC . I’m so glad you gave a shout out!

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Yes, good family.

[@jeffreynerdin3522]

I really like the half blind stitch. Nice.

Beautiful work as always. My grandfather was a shoemaker and it's a great skill to have!

There is so much information in this video! Thank you so much. You seem like a very sweet person and I like your sense of humor.

[@mwhelan53]

Hey man, bondo and body work for boots, who knew! Steve o will never be repairing shoes but I learn a lot from being able to watch how you deal with leather, deconstruction and restructure. Thanks man.

[@_mR_JoEL]

Wow!!! What an amazing job. You have incredible talent. Wow man you brought them back from the dead. Much Luv God Bless

[@arctichare8185]

Better than new!! (I can imagine that the sewing thread also provides a lot of structural support besides that strip of ribbon around the heel.)

[@CallieMasters5000]

Ferra-O-MY-GOD-o's! They turned out great. The blue was a bold choice, but still nice.

[@pauldargue]

You’re shoe repair work is absolutely amazing i love your work

hey Steve! Hope ur day is going well… wow, a well worn shoe! Take care sir, “Let’s continue”...

This Sir - was a master piece. 🙏 👞 ❤️

[@hopeangel1970]

Awe man the sound of cleaning the leather, soothing.

[@JD-tl7ld]

Top notch job on those. They look brand new! The more things I think I know, the more I find I don't know. I had no idea you could get leather filler, but I don't know why it comes as such a surprise to me. I mean I have used wood filler before... I have a pair of Bates navy recruit boots that I put a huge gouge in the toe. I tried filling it with junk like shoe wax, but it was only temporary. I ended up clipping a tiny bit of leather from the gusset, and gluing it in the gouge. I sanded it smooth, redyed the spot, and hit it with some good old Lincoln wax and it was good to go. You couldn't even notice unless you broke out the magnifying glass.

[@BedosLeatherworksLLC]

Good job
