I had no idea that non-factory cobblers could carry out work of such high quality. I'm going to contact you re my Church shoes Dan.

This video was flagged up to me and I must say it was fascinating to watch a craftsman do a top notch job. Most enjoyable thank you.

Dan, I’ve definitely seen a shoe miracle in the making! You are a shoe “god”. Gorgeous work, amazing tenacity, beautiful handwork. If I ever happen to be in England, I will bring a pair of shoes for you to repair. It was a true pleasure watching your every move and listening to your narration...a true pleasure. You are a consummate craftsman!!!

Really great video. No super complicated way of doing things. Fast and thorough and professional done from start to finish in 45 min to 1hr. One of the least complicated redrafting methods. Seems to be a new shop space and quite new machinery in comparison with many I have seen so far.. The machinery the cobbler in my town uses is quite antiquated but then the bag pipe chanter red make has machinery that looks as if it came FM the beginning of the Industrial revolution...which it probably did. Whatever it takes to get the job done and without discarding functional items without my need has been my way to go. I also marvel at what trades people and craftspeople can do. You are a fine example of your craft.

I really enjoyed this video Dan. I love to see all the work you put into these shoe jobs. As always, well done mate. You’re a very skilled cobbler indeed. Thanks

Dan, you're amazing. I find your videos so interesting and your professional skill is so impressive. You really are a craftsman.

Never watched any boots/shoe reconstruction/repair videos yet youtube recommended this. And I aint even mad. Just want you tocknow your channel made it to PH 🇵🇭

Really good job. I‘m impressed, as a child I saw it so many times in my small German village. But it needs til now to understand this great work a little bit.

Mr. Tring, my Dad had a shop in the Mid Hudson River Valley of New York for 55 yrs. I helped him from the age of about 8 until I was out of high school in 1964 (yeah, I am 3 days older than dirt)...I watched you go through a very familiar routine...It was so much the same. The big stitcher he used was called a McKay stitcher. The flax thread was pulled through a hot bees wax bath just before being used to sew on the soles...the welting was done by hand. You do nice work...I swear I could smell the contact cement from here just south of Chicago...

Lots of fun to watch a great trades person who is able to craft old footwear into impeccable delights. The videos are not only informative but well done. The voice is direct and the enunciation superb. One of the best productions on shoe refurbishing on U tube. The only issue is my wife thinks you a real hunky and she is left with my 78 yr old beer soaked body. I tell her she cannot have it all but she can dream about you. Cheers and thank you!

So crafty and skilled. Beautifully done!

New sub here. I am glad you took the time to film the entire process for us, I have never seen shoes re-soled. A lot of work goes into this. Very well done and a beautiful pair of shoes.

I have no interest in shoe repair. Or so I thought... For some reason watching you with your well explained processes and fine attention to detail was really satisfying. I'm leaving with the feeling that I spent an entire afternoon in your shop learning about all kinds of stuff. I have nowhere to apply any of that, but you just gained a subscriber!

I love this video !!!! Beautifully done! I always wanted to know how the magic of reviving our most loved shoes was done . Fantastic work ! Thank you. I also made me apply even more the great work of a good cobbler!

Simply fascinating! My great- grandfather was a cobbler. Maybe my attraction to, and admiration for such expertise runs in the blood.

Thanks bud, you're doing an awesome job. You're doing a great job/deed spreading knowledge of repairing an outsole. I am now encouraged to repair my own outsole for my J&M derby dress shoes. You are such an awesome dude, words can't explain how happy I am to learn from you man. God Bless. I also have been making leather goods for about 3 years like wallets, knife sheaths, gun holsters and miscellaneous items. becoming a shoe cobbler is its own realm of leather crafting.

I loved this video great job. You did wonderful work on someone's shoes young man. I wish we had someone like you where I live.

Excelente tu trabajo, amigo. Saludos de un colega desde San Pedro Buenos Aires, Argentina. Un placer verte trabajar. Se nota que disfrutas de tu trabajo. Un abrazo.

Wow!, this is a very clean job. You truly have the knowledge, the experience and the skills 👍

Proper job Dan,nice to see quality workmanship is still about 🚒👍

You cutting through the stitches to remove the sole sounds really cool! Tingly

I would have NEVER thought to watch these (never owned fancy shoes) but this is interesting for whatever reason. Its juts seeing something go from crummy to really nice looking with repairs on something I never thought would be repaired. I just buy cheap shoes and once they go, they go.

Out of all the machines and tools used in the cobblers arsenal I think the Ranger is the best..It sounds amazing when cutting that leather off..It could be used as ASMR therapy!!

You are an artist and your work is perfect

So professional. Enjoy watching a lot

What a wonderful job, and what a wonderful boy! Perfect combo!

Always fun to see a craftsman at work. I just wish I knew about you last time I was in your area...... and perhaps I just have to bring my boots over when they need some work done to them......

My great grandfather would be so proud of you... he was a well-respected cobbler for many years in the Boston area after arriving from Italy.

Nothing says shoe repair like some Death Metal. Good choice in background music.

Great video and a wonderful job. The thing about good shoes is that you can have them repaired and enjoy them for many more years. And having the repairs done is still less money then buying new shoes. Jeff

Those Churches shoes if you wanted to Purchase them new today would set you back £530.00 they are Chetwynd Brogues. So a good repair is well worth the money spent, I have just 2 pairs of Churches currently, my first pair were some Diplomat semi-brogues i bought back in 1983, i had them for about 20 years and had them properly repaired 3 times. I liked them so much I bought another pair, but such a difference in price over those 20 years £85.00 in 83, and £310.00 in 2010, now they are around £530.00 if i were to buy another pair. My other pair are Loafers and are super comfy!

Great video Dan very educational watching trades done by experts the proper way, 👍

Older video but i'm trying to get caught up on all of them, Great repair Dan!!

I have no idea why I'm watching this but I'm really enjoying it. That Cork looks delicious, reminds me of stuffing. Does your little brother know you stole his t-shirt? And remember kids, always cut towards yourself 👍

Many years ago I trained as a surgical shoe maker... we did the welts by hand. It was hard work, but was my favourite part of the job.

Awesome craftsmanship! Back in the day, I could never get a decent repair on leather soled shoes (Loakes, Grensons or Churches), you knew that the customer had worn in the uppers and you worked with that (the whole point of buying decent, UK made shoes, that are intially an investment). Truly skilled, sympathetic work, it must be very rewarding, lots of happy customers.

you've done a beautiful job. I'm not sure about the outer foot of those shoes. I've got a couple of pairs of Churches I've had for thirty years and the outer foot hasn't creased like that. Maybe you should sell the owner some shoe trees!

“Do you to see someone repair shoes 👞 ?“ “Oh yeah! It’s only 03:42 AM “

Happy days I worked at Barrett’s shoe factory for a period of time in the 60,s men’s welted leather sole shoes made on oak and beech lasts (incidentally when factory closed they all went up in smoke ,some famous people had their own individual lasts ,)can still smell the leather now!

Nice to watch in every way!
