$1,150 job! Resizing Vintage Allen Edmonds

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This was a time consuming job. Anytime you have to Re-last a shoe to a different size, It’s always a challenge. These shoes are 27 years old, fairly in good shape. The customers request was to change the size from 11.5EEE to 12 D in a 65 last which is much slimmer style then the original.

    Resizing is such an arduous task. You totally reconstruct a shoe and still decline to call yourself a shoe maker. Humble and so proud to be your father's son. I like that. Great job as always and look forward to your next project.

    Yes, another man with these skills would call himself a shoemaker. But Steve knows his dad was a shoemaker, and he will not take that mantle because he knows what it means. Very refreshing compared to kids today who think they know it all.

    I was thinking exactly the same thing...🤔 The only process missing from "shoemaking" here was cutting the original leather out from a pattern and sewing the pieces together!

    Well we are creatures of habit... for me a shoe that worn down stretched to what your foot fits perfectly can't be beat...I don't understand people wearing trainers and saying it comfortable...it is not ...all that padding and cushioning isn't natural for the foot I spend half my life in a pair of good shoes the other on a mattress...those are the two things that you don't cheap on!

    A good shoe will last the life of the wearer with proper maintenance and care. I wish more companies had the market to make good shoes. Its painful to find a comfortable shoe you love the looks of and have it fall to pieces after a couple of years. It is lucky you were able to resize and restyle these shoes for your customer. Hopefully he takes as good care wearing them as you did making them. Another masterful job. Oh…I think it would be very interesting to see you design and make a shoe from scratch. Maybe a driving shoe to match your automobile.

    Steve, if I could I'd subscribe more than once for ya. I try to always hit the like and comment, as well as watch each video all the way through, knowing that those things help your channel with the algorithm. Those AEs turned out beautifully. Really love the addition of the mid-sole on them too. Also loved seeing the gemming getting stitched to the footbed too. And, of course it's always a treat to see "the jerk with a needle" at work for that hand stitched welt. LOL I was looking for the Bick4 to get slathered onto the leather liner while you were in there, as well as the updated size codes, like a Florsheim Imperial gets treated to. 😜

    Phenomenal work as usual. The shoes were in amazing condition, they probably haven't been worn all that much. I'm still amazed that people continue to pay so much for this kind of job when you could get something like a Crockett & Jones Handgrade or even a couple of pairs of Carmina for the same money. Saying that, the owner will now get years of extra wear out of these now so worth it to him I suppose.
