I have no desire ever to repair a pair of shoes but yet I set here for 30 mins and watch this…Thank you Dan

I was thinking the same, until I realized that, when it comes to boots and leather shoes, it is very wasteful and actually more expensive to keep buying new pairs every 2-3 years. I found that it is cheaper to maintain good shoes in the long term and that good shoes keep looking nice when properly maintained.

I can confirm that having some quality shoes that mould to your feet shape, and are looked after are worth repairing. My Timberland 'classic' boots are 20 yr old. Dan resoled them with a leather mid-sole (glued and stitched in) and Vibram soles, which can now be replaced by any cobbler. This is sustainable + they feel and look great 😊

@@derzemel I once read that the amount rich people spend on their eg *_John Lobb_* bespoke classic shoes (be still my beating heart) the cost averaged over decades, while not an _economy_ purchase, stacks up well against some nice off-the-peg shoes bought every few years. People forced through circumstance to buy cheap, shitty shoes get the poorest value - they often fall apart very quickly; if man-made, don't let your feet breathe, and are generally terrible for your gait, posture, joints etc. A pair of hand-made, bespoke shoes are a thing of podal beauty! 👞👞

Tring takes me back to retrospectives when historic times people would repair clobbers. I'm watching this in 2023, which makes me go back in time! The process looks ancient and so does the machines.

Pleasure to watch an actual high end craftsman at work in this so called modern age of seeing any skilled workers at all. Sole and heel looks so good it's a shame someone is going to walk on them? Wish you all the best in your business Dan.

Haha yes well spotted I had to re watch that a few times until I realised what I'd said! It's not always easy this speaking to the camera stuff!

The smell of the Cobblers shop just came back to me (as a kid in the 60's) leather & glue☺ You could never see over the counter as it was so high, it was a big mystery😁

Why didn’t i find this channel sooner? I always loved when i was a kid in my grandfather’s shop, and later that he taught me how to work on shoes. I couldn’t take over his shop sadly. But it really brings back great memories.

Hard on and Jerk off, leads to “let’s get sticky”. Great job as always . It’s funny cause I never thought I would be watching endless videos of a cobbler. Your content is very entertaining. Keep up the good work!

don't forget the bottom filler!

Many years ago, here in Adelaide (South Australia) there was a local boot maker (Arthur Rossiter) who made Me a Custom pair of Black ‘Army styled’ G.P. (General Purpose) Boots. These boots were so comfortable that I took the boots back, every time the needed a new sole and or a new heel. Eventually Arthur retired and I had to retire those boots from frequent use, but I still kept a hold of them for many years afterwards. Best most comfortable pair of G.P. Boots I ever owned.

Whistling Robin Hood as you work! Classic

I have no idea why I've ended up watching a man repair shoes.. Just subscribed and spent the last 2 hours watching more of your videos.. Great content. And surprisingly interesting..

2 videos in one evening 🤗

Absolutely stunning work. Thanks for the show, Dan!

Looks wonderful, Dan. Amazing as usual.

Really great finish on those boots - I particularly liked the heel block finish. Thanks for another video.

Always amazing as usual! Inspiring to appreciate things and to keep them in good shape by proper maintenance for the long run! 🙏💕

Your repairs always blow me away. Giving boots a new chance at life

Amazing job as always Dan . Great looking boot love the one piece leather upper 👌

That red and white stitch is very cool. Quality work as always 👌

Nice work and you are a respected person and you deserve all the best

Why have you been hiding that beautiful young lady. She brightens up your shop.

Absolutely beautiful. Incredible work.

great job. Looking forward to part 2.

Great job restoring those shoes. They look great! My daughter lives in AU (I'm in the US) and she bought me an R.M. Williams billfold. It's a quality product.

Crackin’ job as always, laughed out loud at the Hard On. And, always a pleasure to see the lovely Annabelle. Cheers 👍🏽🙂

I'm not a shoe guy at all - although my one pair of dress shoes are RM Williams boots -- but this was really fascinating. I love seeing a craftsman at work! Well done.

Great boots and a great repair Dan 👍

Love your work. Great attention to detail.

Hi Dan. Watching you work is one excellent experience. Those boots have a new lease on life. OH, I noticed that Ron was there making sure everything went smoothly. You are always on top of the new products like Hard On. Keep it up Dan! Looking forward to the next fix. And BTW, love your shop. It is beautiful. J

Awesome job Dan!

Greetings from Tombstone Arizona cowboy! 🤠 Fantastic and beautiful! Boots were great too! 😂 Annabelle is one "foxy lady!" 🥰

One of your best Dan.

The owner of those boots is going to love them like never before...

i love your work mate,i love my shoses and boots they cost money but i have them for years, and they never go out of style.

What an amazing job. Just awesome 👍

They looked great Good job particularly the black piece under the instep Very neat 👍👍

Watching a craftsperson do their thing is so entertaining. i need to try this service one day

I enjoy the music as you work. Very Classy! EDIT - Gosh the threads really set off the look. And they look gorgeous!

They are worth every cent because they last for 20+ years. I have 4 pairs of craftmans, brown, black, chocolate suede and chestnut. 25 years old, 18, 11 and 6. And having 4 pairs to rotate, they don’t get smashed so the oldest are the only pair that have had a full resole and heal done.

A true craftsman. A dying breed.

lovely work.

I never knew that watching shoes repairs could be so satisfying.

Great video another amazing job.

"Without further adieu" 😆 Great videos Dan.

38 next month and I'm laughing my ass off at double entendres 🤣. Glad I came back to the channel

Welcome back Dan 😄

Lucky for you, my fame extends only about 30 feet past my front door...and maybe down to the local sheriff station, but THAT'S IT! I promise. What I appreciate the most about this particular video is how a small business' day is rarely just calm and quiet.

yaaay a Dan upload Also enjoyed the Annabelle cameo, I'm glad you have help in the shop

Brilliant!!!!!

I could watch you work all day. If I wasn't 57 years old I would love to do a apprenticeship

I wish I was. But I been following you for about a year now. Great content sir

Great repair job, and fantastic content. but my mind did get carried away with the tin of "hard on" and your comment..... Love it, keep up the great work.

So basically what i got from this video on top of a fantastic boot redesign and repair is to loosen up the Hard On you have to use the Jerk Off , love your vids ..
