You should make a list of the songs you use in your videos. Also thank you for making videos that show pride and real craftsmanship in a dying trade. Hopefully it will inspire more people to learn it.

Dan, you are quite literally "The Man" :) So surreal having my shoes in one of your videos. You have done a fantastic job. I forgot to mention that they were also in the original Crockett & Jones box and shoe bags. I know they were pretty battered but I still think they were a nice find. Thanks ever so much again!

My pleasure Ben they will last years now.

It would be interesting to hear your take on socks since they play off almost every pair of shoes. One step further - Socks from your shop for your fans could be a nice tie-in!

I picked a 5 gallon bucket of black beans last night in the rain. I don't know if that qualifies as funny or interesting, but there you go--you get what you ask for Dan!!

interesting to me, whats a black bean!?

These videos make my day. I live in the Triple Cities in Upstate NY, and all of the older generations of my family worked for Endicott-Johnson. E-J was the world's largest tanneries and shoemakers for about 75 years. Watching these videos makes me feel like I understand what used to happen here when E-J was still in business. Even more so, these videos make me appreciate why making the investment in high quality shoes is something everyone should really be trying to do. Shoes that can last a lifetime (or more!) through repairs at a cobbler are an obvious choice that I wish more people would make.

It never gets old. I love watching you ply your trade. Another result!

I always enjoy watching you work!

What a transformation. Whoever gets those shoes will be chuffed. Also, nice to see how much you enjoy your job; even with the bad dad jokes and singing. :) Nice getting an window into your life.

I saw 3 Dog Night in concert and they were amazing even as old guys!! I love your videos i find shoe repair fascinating that you can just tear it all apart and make them new again! Some day i'll own a pair that's worthy of repair!

amazing of how many components a regular shoe is made. my grandma always took me to a shoemaker. liked the atmosphere, the heavy tools and especially was fascinated by the glue. thank you for the nice memory!

Love the rolled-up cutoffs. In college in the 80s, because we didn't have any money... when the knees blew out of our jeans, we'd cut them off and roll them up just above the knees. We'd get another year or so of wear out of them. ;)

Something funny that happened today. I watched your video with my 4 year old little girl. (Were american) and she said, "Dad! This guy talks just like peppa pig!!" Because of your accent. She was very excited. Thanks for the great content :)

Yeah another video ! Your videos are kind of therapeutic, it just makes my mind at ease seeing shoes get restored.

What a beauty. I watched my Dad for years in the shops from the early sixties and got all sorts of info from him. showing me what he did and why. This video and your presentation are very well put out. I love it. As a boot and shoemaker's son. Who became a plasterer. Nice one. Beauty.

Gorgeous restoration. Dan, it's obvious that you take pride in your work. It shows from start to finish. Well done, sir. Well done.

Hello from Montreal (Canada) This is not only a wonderful shoe makeover, it is a "artistic job" ! Bravo!

What a magnificent restoration! I love seeing old tired items being brought back to life with some TLC.

the highlight of my day so far is hearing your dad jokes, I laughed out loud at the grenade one (sniggering as I wrote that) can't wait to tell the kids that one.

What a great job. Thank you for sharing.

I did finish my garden shed today, but its not a normal one its like a small climbing gym. Thanks for asking! love your videos, especially because your so calm. Your voice is also just reassuring. And also its just satisfiying to watch you do your work because you do it so percised and fine, keep it up!

This video had many great things in it. Top picks for me are the lovely customer who didn't recognize her own shoes because Dan's work is so good (obviously). And then the massive blue (suede?) boots behind Dan as he worked on the new soles.

I never expected shoe repair would be so interesting to watch. But it's always really nice to watch skilled workmanship! Great work! Cheers from Sweden!

I know nothing about repairing shoes but I do know that putting average threaded screws in a shoe is a no no, lol. Nice repair job Dan. Those blue massive platform knee high boots behind you caught my eye, love them👌

I’m a senior woman, I like seeing how things are done, plus having a few laughs. Thanks

I know it would be a tad difficult(with consent of course) but to be able to see the customers reaction to the finished product would be amazing... You do exceptional work.. 🥃

Great to see a craftsman at work.

Got my old job back! Happiness! ;-D Plus finished sewing 4 new tunics/dresses. And lookie there, learning new shoe tricks today. wow. :-D

11:35 maybe not that pair, but I for one would love to see a longer video on some absolutely destroyed shoes being brought back from the brink, a sort of "Old Shoe Rescue"?

I just love the sound and sight of the stitching machine

So glad I happened upon your channel. You're a delight!

Love seeing shoes get a complete makeover- it takes a real craftsman to restore these, they came out beautiful! Love the dad jokes, glad to see you so busy❣️

I work at a hotel, and when i came in there were several guests in our lobby being loud and cursing, so i had to go over and ask them to be quiet about 30 min later, the main offensive group went to bed, and it was a group of guests that had stayed with us the previous few nights and i had interacted with before that was left. I walked over with a stern look and said look guys...how many times do i have to tell you... (at this point they started looking like oh crap what did we do) ....thank you for being quiet and calm. it really makes my job easier. they all just sat there blinking for a few seconds before they realized what i had said (they were a few drinks in) and started laughing with me

Today the little salad seedlings I thought I'd killed came back to life! Excited to see them growing again. Love your dad jokes. Immediately shared that first one with a mate. Hope you do more of your odds-and-ends videos!

Your one of the best on KZread. Thank you, I have learn a lot by watching you.

Oh my word...totally addicted to your work Dan, you do what my Gran would call 'a proper job!!' Such a lot of hard, hand knackering work involved!!♡

An amazing transformation. Your hard work has reinvented a new life for this old pair of shoes. Very impressive!!!

Love to watch your channel,interested anything you say and the different work you do in each film. I couldn’t understand British English to began with till today I understood your British English totally that makes me so happy. Your fan from Phoenix AZ ,US , 😊💕

I started reading these comments as soon as the video started and I didn’t understand why people were saying random things about their day until I got to the part in the video were you asked people tell you what was going good in their life that day. Now these comments make total sense. Lol!

A friend told me about this channel. He said once you start watching, you can't stop. And he was right. It's fantastic to see how this is done and what a marvelous job on these shoes. Cheers from the Netherlands. 💪🏻

The result is impressive. I like it!

Interesting things that happened to me today is i found your channel and got to watched few of your videos 😊

Great job. Thanks.

我是一个中国老太太，我非常钦佩你的精益求精工作，看到你把每一双鞋子在你的巧手之下都让它变成如此新奇靓丽，我虽然听不懂你说什么，但我看你的视频感觉非常开心。谢谢你小伙子。

Talking of getting knickers in a twist, My girlfriend woke up late today and had to pay the mortgage. She jumped out of bed pulled her jeans on, got dressed and drove to the city to the local building society. She walked about 5 mins through the city and queued up in the building society. It wasn’t until she was at the counter waiting for the clerk to process the payment she glanced down and to her horror her knickers from the day before were hanging out the bottom of her jeans! 🤣🤣 She had to discreetly crouch down, yank them out and stuff them in her coat pocket but not before the whole building society had seen them first!

It's all about the tools. Yes, there are Craftsmen in every field. But, not all are Craftsmen that take pride in their craftsmanship. Some say "It's Good Enough", a Craftsman says "It can always be better" and goes the extra mile, doing things no one will ever know he did. I've been painting cars since k was 12, and still think k can do each job better than the next. I'm a Jack of many, master of one. This is enjoyable to watch. I'm not scared if work, I can watch you work all day.

Always a pleasure watching you. 😍

Hey Dan, you asked us to comment on anything funny that happened to us today, well… I saw an interesting cobbler using a product called “jerk-off”. This phrase, in the good ole USA, is equivalent to the British “having a sherman” ! Thanks for showing us your good work.

That’s a great idea! That’s what I do with furniture 😂

very cool, i enjoyed the explanation of the tacks into the shoe and the press on only the toe portion of the shoe, very informative

Looks gr8 ! What a gr8 job and work. Now I know where to send my Allen Edmonds with JR leather soles and Lulu tips.

Nice repair job. I think you should do a video on the crazy boots you showed in this video. I can wait to see how they look when you’re done with them.

That grandpa joke just about killed me. Lol!! I don’t know how I found your channel, but I’m hooked.

Nicely done! I really need to take a pair of my Chelsea boots to my local cobbler, I was sat by an open with my family a little while ago. I was a bit too close to the fire and it heated the glue on my boots which now are not properly sealed to the uppers 🙈 doh!

hey jay here from Thailand. I like you work and attitude. very good thank you for keeping your language clean young man.

Very nice work Dan 🤩 ( nevermind the blue stripper boots on the back tho 😅😅😅 ). Glad to have you back 💛

In response to 11:00, I had a girl over last night and when i took her into my bedroom , as we were taking our clothes off I used your catch phrase "let's get sticky" . Needless to say it worked just as well on her as it does to your subscribers, and by the end of the night we were covered in- actually i'll stop there and leave it to your imagination. I'll never forget last night! Thanks for the catchphrase Dan!!!

My money is on those shoes belonging to The Globe Girls drag act, which used to be based nearby. I knew the guy who runs it, and he mentioned he gets the shoes repaired in Tring.

Your work is so relaxing to watch. Creating a new look shoe is brilliant. The machines are fascinating. Have seen them briefly but never up so close. 👍

Again, another enjoyable video. Who knew that you could make a second hand pair of shoes look so different. I've been a bit under the weather recently, however watching your videos and hearing you sing and joke and your enthusiasm has helped enormously, so thank you mate. 💯👍🙂

I'm learning so much from you...i didn't know cork was in a can i thought it was a pre-cut sheet for the right size shoe...wow

I watched this video, so now I'm a master shoe repairer.

Such a cool trade! And I can tell you take Pride in every job you do,God Bless you and yours sir…

Excellent Dan

Funny jokes. I've always remembered the last words of my Grandfather which were "A bus!!" LOL. Hello from Texas!

PULLING THE BLADE TOWARDS YOU LIKE THAT GIVES ME NIGHTMARES.

I never thought I would spend hours watching a British cobbler who tells corny jokes and sings American oldies as he explains what he’s doing! I’m mesmerized and simply can’t stop watching. Dan does a fantastic and thorough job down to the final shine. I just subscribed. I’m well and truly hooked. I wonder if Dan is a rugby player in his spare time!

15:50 the sound of that sawing machine is so relaxing 😌

Great video!

Nice job, Dan!! I want them..

I love that you love your job

Another brilliant video & excellent job.I never knew that so much went on under a sole!

Those are classically stylish shoes. I chuckled at the name of that solvent.

Thanks again Dan for another great video. Very best wishes from Scotland
