I agree, he absolutely made a better shoe, and based on the original quality, I’d never buy a Cole Haan. Their shoes can go for between $120 to $400 a pair. With that being said, the customer was fairly foolish IMHO to have this repair done based on his initial agreement. He could easily replace this shoe for close to what he paid for the repair. Now, the real value here is what he did to make the shoe better and not charge him for it. Without a doubt, this was an exceptional job and I enjoyed watching it.

Those Cole Haan’s are nicer than the ones that Cole Haan makes!

People come to you BECAUSE of the time you spend on each shoe. You’re a rare breed and it’s refreshing.

Truly, the "silk purse" saying was never more apt. There's no flash here, but what knowledge, skill and craftsmanship! I have bought quite a few pairs of department store ready to wear shoes like Cole Haan and Johnston Murphy because I didn't know any better, they fit my budget, and gave me enough value for the dollars that I had to spend. I've learned something more about shoes lately. Especially, enough to recognize the beautiful piece of work was done here.

I have just today run into your channel and have become nostalgic. My grandfather was a shoe maker and I remember always getting the opportunity to walk into his shop to admire his work. He took great pride in doing what he did and he would always tell me stories about his humble beginnings as a shoe maker. I really miss him. Your videos make me feel closer to him even if he isn't around anymore 😔♥️

The fake stitching is horrendous not because of the signal it sends to the world but the false signal it sends to the consumer. Before I got into shoes I always looked for a stitch through thinking that it was higher quality and recraftable. Little did I know that it was a lie most of the time.

Excellent workmanship! So glad there are still people out there that not only value their profession but actually go the extra step to provide an above and beyond level of service to the customer. I think the price for the restoration was appropriate for the level of excellent workmanship provided. Wish I lived close to your shop. You’d get all my shoe and leather business.

Snatch_ well that is a difficult question to answer. Not knowing what your looking for (dress,casual, outdoors, formal)the only advice I can give you is when your buying shoes, try different sizes then what you think your size is. If your a 10, try 10.5, 9.5, different widths. Not all shoe styles will fit the same.

I've always been under the impression that Cole Haan's were quality made shoes. I've even owned a few pairs in my lifetime. And as I was watching this video it occurred to me that I had to have those shoes repaired. Every single one of them, while several other pairs that were worn about the same amount of time outlasted them. Also, another great video! I was on vacation and when I finally got home I was excited to get on KZread to see if there was a new upload...and bam! Always great work and videos!

C-H is really a fashion shoe. In about six months to two years you (usually) wouldn't be caught wearing them. Loud and brash - which could be good or bad right? But its sort of disposable from the get go. Just look at a C-H catalog from ten years ago. Totally changed from what they offer today. Other brands like Allen Edmund look the same as 50 years ago but again good or bad. Depending on what you want.

Master artist. Well done and thanks for sharing.

At a Cole Haan store some 20 years ago they offered three cap toe black Oxfords, looking more or less alike. But one was $650, one $350, and one maybe $225. Maybe the top of the line was not shamelessly compromised, but at that time Ferragamo were on sale down the street for maybe $500, and AE Park Avenues were under $200 on sale. Over the years I’ve found Aldens and other good makers for under $200, so I never really wear anything till it’s really beat up. I’ll replace sole once in a blue moon, a heel a bit more often, but I regret my life plan doesn’t see me going all in for a major reconstruction (that in average hands would ruin the fit anyway.)

You sir are a true craftsman! It’s so rare to find many workers who go the extra mile these days to give added value only for improvement of aesthetic value and enjoyment of doing the job well. Greetings from a half Lebanese American! I heard that you formally lived in Lebanon. I’ve never been there but would like to visit. My ancestors were from Sidon, I think. Christian Catholic Melkites.

I love the blue on the soles. Really nice job as usual.

I love watching these videos and I am gaining a greater appreciation for the Cobbler who repairs my shoes. One thing in the back of my mind is that I do not see many or any young craftsman (under 40) who do this kind of artisan repair. I hope this occupation continues to survive.

Great job!. You get what you pay for( in his case he got lots more) Always good to see someone take pride in his craft, You Sir, is true master. Well done.

Alright let's continue. You are a awesome craftsman.
