For me, this job means that Steve gave the client back his memories, his best moments, his best feelings, his passion ... everything he needs or wants to live a happier life. Surely the client will take firmer steps with those boots. I think that is priceless. Great job Steve! 👍

You Steve actually have one of the BEST jobs on earth. To be able to keep someone's belongings in use so that memories are close is priceless, but $900 to repair some boots is also fantastic. Awesome work! Keep it up. You are an inspiration!! Thank you

I completely understand where this guy is coming from. It's not the $$$. I go around trying to find things I loved as a child, lost or broken, it's fun when I finally find the item. I know weird!! I enjoy watching these shoe repairs, people don't drop their shoes off to the shoe makers anymore, SAD. Takes a lot of talent. Beautiful work!! TY.

A great job as usual Steve. As long as you have the money I see no problem in spending $900 restoring a favourite pair of boots. We are always being told to restore, reuse and recycle. You are saving the planet one pair of shoes/boots/bag at a time. Keep up the good work. Regards Rowena from the UK🇬🇧

Was in the Army for 16 years and now I’m an electrician so I totally understand having a sentimental bond with my boots. Well done and great video Sir

Another great vid, your attention to detail and your craftsmanship always shine through and the customers are lucky to have you re-craft their items.

I love your channel because of how much pride and care you take in your work. A true American craftsman. Makes me want to enter this profession just watching you do your thing.

Great job Mr Steve!!! I love your “troll” voice!!! 🤣let’s continue!

Made In The USA. Imagine that. As a tradesman myself, I love to see the older trades still being practiced. And with a new found appreciation for them. Beautiful restoration by the way. The good side of the internet.

Love how relaxing your channel is after a long day watching your videos is so very peaceful, watching a true craftsman ply his trade is fascinating. And the skill of your hands is amazing. I see a old pair of boots that look ready for the garbage, and you doing them back to life it’s so cool.

Amazing! I love watching you take them apart and then bring it all together!

Great work as always. You crack me up. Love your energy and humor. Happy hammering!!!

“HEY MAN YOU FORGOT THE LITTLE WHITE LINES ON THE SIDE MAN! I’M LEAVING” 🤣🤣

I can relate 100% to loving those boots because of the teeth marks. I had a car that my sister's gorgeous black lab loved riding in. It had puppy nose prints all over the quarter glass windows. I could never bring myself to wash those 2 windows after he crossed the rainbow bridge. I cried a bunch when I finally sold the car. Steve, your work is impeccable and I love every video you post.

Glad you caught the backwards flag :) FYI the flag is always installed that way to mimic being moved by the wind.

Utterly classy repair!!! As usual making worn out rubbish look better than new 👍 nice one for shouting out Dan from Tring at the end. Have watched his channel and is quite good 👌👍😎

I restore old furniture for clients with the same "sentimental" feelings. i.e. it was my grandmothers, or mothers,etc. Can't put a price on things. Funny thing is after these boots are done like my furniture their better then new ones. They don't make them like they used to period.

The usual reason any of these videos are made is because the sole needs replacing. In this case the sole is the best least worn part of the boot.

I fully realize that your a master at what you do but how in the world did you learn to tear irreplaceable boots such as the Danners and put them back together nearly flawlessly? You dont go to shoe/boot college and learn this. Who taught you and when did you gain the confidence to move forward. I love working with my hands and at a job. Where every job/project is different and challenging. Therefore the "risks" are worth the rewards. Well done.
