It's been the busiest week for shoe repairs that I've ever seen, and that's saying something! Still we managed to squeeze in a video for you guys!

Além de ser um homem lindo, é muito habilidoso com as ferramentas e deixam o resultado final dos seus trabalhos muito perfeitos, parecem até que acabaram de comprar novos os sapatos. Abraços do Brazil

You are the Cobbler who made me.a secret key on level 3 and who also crafted me a pair of invisibility boots on level 7. In the final mission you go Medevial on the bad guys and with your shoe-wrestling arms you rip the head clean off the boss in a memorable final scene.! Handy bloke to have around!

I didn't know people liked cowboy boots in the UK. That made me smile ☺

I've been waiting for this video for ages! I envy you because you are so busy with your work. My shop in Japan has almost no customers due to the coronavirus. I don't have any shoe repair work. I make and sell wallets and other leather goods. Please share your busy shoe repair work with me! Just kidding.... I'll look forward to your next video! I'll do my best too!

Definitely start a KZread channel and start doing sole and shoe repairs on sneakers. The “alternate” shoe sale market is crazy right now and I’m sure there are plenty of people local to you that would want a kick ass shoe restoration or modification

Wow, the rescue job on the Wolverines was awesome. They don’t even look like the same pair of boots you started with.

Oh man! You can't get away without showing us the young lady that picked up the dance boots!!! ;)

Thank you for keeping this craft life. I’m glad to see Take pride in their work, and do things the right way.

Yes he does. I have tried simple things…. Total disaster.

Glad to hear that business is doing well! Thanks for sharing another nice video sir.

You do such good work, it's really nice when customers can get things done right.

200 pairs? Congratulations! I am guessing this channel has helped. AND, it is well deserved. May you continue to prosper.

Hi Dan. You and the boys ( Ron and Reggie ) are becoming famous and world renowned for your excellence in craftsmanship that people are sending in their shoes and boots so they can gloat to their friends and say " I got my shoes repaired by Dan at Tring shoe repair and key shop and yoou didn't. So there. " Glad to finally see a cowboy boot repair btw. Cheers and heal up soon. : )

too much work...great problem to have. But it's obvious that you do superior quality craftsmanship and the word is out! thanks for sharing, Dan.

Hi Dan! Thanks for taking time to make this when you’re so busy❗️The repairs all look awesome and I guess word is out how good you are❗️A great cobbler is not easy to find, it’s great fun watching you work, thanks!🥰

Thanks a lot! It has been hard work to get it done!

Sunday morning, cup of tea, new comfy cobbler video, priceless 🥰

Working like a Trojan with a broken foot! What a man !!!!!

His videos make me want to learn how to do this type of work. It just looks like a type of job where you can get in the zone and enjoy the work itself

"Hugh Jackman's Boots", the little details are what I love the most. And the muscles, but that's gravy at this point.

It amazes me the amount of shoddy jobs that come through

@tring, I thought about this the other day and just heard you mention it how you had viewers at your window. Before KZread, or the internet how would you get to see these awesome craftsman skills, whether shoe/boot repair, watch repairs, car repairs, welding, black smith? You’d go to their shop window and watch them and their skills(I’d don’t suggest anyone going to a welders window and watch him do his thing) . It’s pretty crazy how now, hundreds of thousands of people can now watch skill at work anywhere in the world in amazing quality. Just a funny thought.

Love this channel....awesome to have playing in the background.....the guy is so chill! Big fan!

Glad too see more people are thinking about looking after and repairing what they've got instead of throwing away and buying new, good for the planet and your till 👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Wolverines are made in my home town great work boots

Dan, this is your best program in ages, ,loved your treatment of the boots, all 3. Just much fun for us all. You are the best to us!!

Good to be busy! Glad to see a video from you, Dan.

Just what I needed at the end of the day. Always relaxing, always excellent craftsmanship. Thanks Dan.

Glad to hear you're busy, it's better than the alternative. Great job on the boots as always they look amazing. You'd be wanting to sit with your legs up on a table to show them off.

You're not cheap, Dan. But worth every penny. Best wishes from Scotland

Always a pleasure to watch your videos Dan. You do a fantastic job 👏 and the quality of your work is awesome. Thanks for keeping us entertained. Big shout out to Ron too. Xx

I love to see you work. Pure craftmanship. Footwear comes in as a rescue and leaves as a piece of art.

Wow, beautiful work! You sir are an artist as well as a craftsman.

Exceedingly excellent example of exactly everything you and your channel does well! Concisely narrated, shot and edited.

Your work are pieces of art. Thank you for broadcasting your projects.

Glad to see you back. I hope you are not in pain. Get well soon. Thanks for sharing.

I love watching you bring things back to life. My father was a cabinet maker, and I have always enjoyed refinishing furniture to give to family members. Have you thought about signing and dating under the replacement soles? Might be a way to keep your legacy alive years down the road. If ever replaced again your name and date would be seen. Also my father was so particular with his cabinet builds he always turned the screws the same direction when tightening them. just an added touch. Even now when I restore an item, furniture, jukebox, pinball machine, I always sign and date it somewhere to be found maybe years from now. Keep the videos coming. You do amazing restorations!

My father was a Watchmaker to trade, you'll see I'm a Musical Instrument Technician, proper skilled, old fashioned, trades. Unfortunately watchmaking, and Musical Instruments don't pay well... I became a specialist hospital engineer, my father was a beat Bobby... One of his best friends (perhaps of neccesity, I've a feeling Bobbies in those days got a boot allowance, but had to buy their own) was an old fashioned cobbler, I remember seeing all those machines in the back shop! Good job.

Hi Dan I am enjoying your video great job from Canada.

Love your channel and your craftsmanship.

Dan, I've watched literally EVERY shoe/boot/leather repair channel on KZread and you, my dude, are absolutely without a doubt #1 !!!! Beito comes in 2nd. Your old school style of repair, and very old school shop machinery makes all the difference. And you make it look effortless!! Thank you so much for so many hours of viewing enjoyment! Absolutely fascinating.

Dang the other shop did a number on those shoes. Great job saving them! He should have bought them to you in the first place.

Dan good job repairing the Cowboy boots, you did the right thing by adding the wooden pegs very traditional in Mexico. Gracias (thank you)

Love this guy. Fantastic channel!

Dan. I’m a new subscriber. Love watching your videos. So nice to watch a true craftsman at work. I’m a Brit living in the USA so is difficult to come in to get my shoes repaired but am planning on traveling over once things calm down whenever that is. Would it be possible to bring in my shoes for resoling and u to do it while I wait and maybe watch u do it? I’d obviously contact you ahead of time to arrange it. Mail order wouldn’t be worth it as overall cost would be more then buying new shoes but I would love to have my shoes customized by someone with your skill level. Keep up the fantastic work. Love watching you do your thing. Very relaxing and educational.

Fantastic as always. 👍

I love your videos. They are so relaxing. My girlfriend, the lovely Linda she is,she bought me one of your coffee mugs. Can't wait to get it. Hope your foot heals fast. Excellent work.

Another great job Dan! Multi-tasking💪🏼

Wow those Wolverines were DESTROYED.

Keep it it up ,,,, You sir need more customers all the time ,,,

First time watching your channel, 6 minutes in and I'm a subscriber!! You are an entrepreneurial warrior!! Tiny shop, one man show, and a skilled cobbler to boot! sorry for the awful pun. AND you're working with an injury!! I wish you the best of success and I'll be binge watching your vids no doubt.

Bravo!! Excellent job!!👍

What a great surprise, love these vids

I'm glad that you explained about the screws because I wondered if you ever used them for shoe repairs.

Love your work as always. Quick thought from a woodworker…if you’re putting wooden pegs in a new sole that you don’t want to have to sand, you may be able to carefully trim off the ends of the wooden pegs with a super sharp chisel without messing up the leather. Maybe not, because I don’t know anything about cobbling, but something to think about. Keep up the great work and videos.

Glad to see you've got so much business. A good problem to have!

You are a real master

You are an awesome cobbler!! I love watching your channel!

We miss you when you’re away. A day without Dan is a day without sunshine.

Nice work! Good value too! 👍👍

G'day Dan and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 well I never thought that I would watch shoe repairs but this had me all inspired and couldn't stop watching you apply your craft, they turned out really good Dan I would be very happy if I had a pair repaired like that. I have subscribed and look forward to following along kind regards John. PS terrific shop

The slow mo of you saying leather made me laugh harder than I should have but was much needed thank you my G 😂👌

This is the first video that I've seen of yours and I have to admit a wonderful job on the cowboy boots, wolverines and what I am going to call the "stripper boots". I worked in a cobbler shop (in the states) when I was, roughly, 16 to 18 years of age and I am now 55 years old. I watch another channel called Trenton & Heath from time to time and I'm amazed how much shoe repair has not changed in probably the last 100 or so years. Anyway great job

Go Dan!

Great work!

Great work brother its a dying art here in America

Hiya Dan, the video is appreciated. 👏🏽

Absolutely Great work…..

Yet another wicked good vid Dan

Love your videos Dan

Holy Crap !! I Just Found This Channel And This Is Quite Possibly the Most Interesting thing I have ever Watched on KZread.! I'm Hooked.

Amazing work.

I would like to see restoration of old Wehrmacht boots will be great

Great job 👍

Loved this video

Theres something satisfying watching him work on those cowboy boots

Your channel really helps me with my anxiety and makes me smile after losing my dad a couple weeks ago to cancer. You are amazing. Thank you

Ouch...I know how uncomfortable a broken foot bone can be. Good thinking about the snow board boot for balance.

Super!!!

I must say, I had no idea stripper boots were of such quality, I always imagined they were some clear plastic and wrote them off. I'll stick to my ropers, timbs, moabs, and jump boots and such but uh, good work!

Job well done
