Amazing work on the shoes in all your videos, that goes without saying. But, I love the presentation, the interaction with the viewers, the good humor maintained throughout. Time simply flies while watching your videos!😃
WOW.......I can't express the craftsmanship you showed us. I also cannot believe you worked on your day off.......Craftsmanship and a love for what you do.
'I know what you some of guys are thinking: that's never gonna look good. Omg, Steve ruined the shoes!' That thought never even crossed my mind lol you are a true master of your craft. Happy 4th!
Amazing workmanship. Kinda reminds of restoring a classic car, by the time you’ve cut out the rot and replaced all the panels the only original part left is the ash tray and the floor mats 👍☺️
Holy Soley ! At what point do you write a shoe off ? You are indeed a footwear magician. I get more suspense out of these videos than most films, I love the craftsmanship.
Lol. Cripey yipey, lol. Watching him repair shoes is better than Calgon. Shake your head and an hour is gone. I have Bedos marathons every few months, shoes, LV bags
With the exception of cutting the upper leather shapes, you, in essence, built a new pair of shoes. Simply amazing. It is so interesting to see how different manufacturers make shoes and the very clever way you make them better than new. These videos are so wonderful to watch. Thank you Steve. I almost wish I had a great pair of shoes that I needed fixed.
I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Esteban Tate I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Esteban Tate DAMN IT REALLY WORKED :O I literally got access to my ig account within roughly 45 minutes of using the site. Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
That shoe is a great style I can see why it is rare. You are almost remaking the entire shoe, better than if they were brand new. You got the numbers -- looks fantastic. Steve there is so much intricate work on that particular pair of shoes, the owner should be in shoe heaven. What you do is way more difficult than making a new shoe. Those are some pretty stitches, good job again. This was clearly A+
Favourite video Steve by far. Really interesting to see to see the different construction to a typical Goodyear welt. End result was indeed fantastic. Congratulations. I'd love to see you create a video that takes us through the final finishing stages. I do sometimes get frustrated that we get near the finish and then the next thing we see is the finished product. Anyway...take that as you will. I love your videos anyway. I have a couple of pairs of Florsheim Imperials that might find their way to you one day from here in Australia if I get to the point where they need a resole. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos.
That one was a labor of love! The construction of that shoe just made it have such clean and simple, yet elegant lines. What a solid base as well. Fine work Steve! That would be a nice pair of shoes to have.
Again you made a miracle,no need to say, you're an excellent Craftsman,artist, Michael Angelo of shoes heaven world, salute to you the master of masters.
The classic *IVY LEAGUE SHOE!* ... at least that's what my uncle had said. Florsheim was my late uncles favorite shoe, which was the first time I had heard of this company. *A beautiful restoration by Steve!* I do respect a few makers that do create these stunning foot wear.
Such a beautiful pair of loafers. I imagine I'm not the only one who would give a pretty penny for a pair. Nice work Steve. I appreciate that you approach such fine shoe repair almost as a conservator. Best!
Bedo, the rec-rafting of that Florsheim Imperial moccasin is EXCEPTIONAL WORK. For the amount of work details that has to be restored to original is quite improbable to do, however, it was accomplished exceptionally well!!! EXTREMELY COMMENDABLE ... EXCEPTIONAL WORK ACCOMPLISHED!!!
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC I stopped putting my work on RUclips over 5 years ago because of idiocy like this.... Wish you were close by. I'd love to do a craftsman feature on you on my Facebook page. My people love meeting all the interesting people I meet.
The pen holder gag was PRICELESS! Geez, how many times have we all gone, "Now, where the poo did I put my [insert missing item here]!?" Good to be reminded of our human foibles in a humorous way - Thanks, Steve.
I had to break off watching half way through. I was so annoyed. I have just finished it now. It's 11.12 pm here in the UK.... When you bent down to look into the Camera and smiled. I smiled right back at you and giggled when you said not enough hammering. It was just so funny, like you were just accross the room instead of accross the ocean. The shoes came out beautifully. I never doubted your ability to make them look like new. Regards Rowena 🇬🇧
I had to watch this one again Steveroo... Love these shoes and had many Florsheims over the years... What a great job you did on these shell cordovan loafers, it's amazing what you can do... Awesome...! Greg
You're so cute doing what you love to do. I discovered that on my mom's side of the family my great, great grandfather and his brother were cobblers in VA. When my ancestor was in the Civil War he traveled with the troops as both a soldier and a cobbler, he survived the war, returned home and resumed his life as a rural cobbler and farmer. When I was married I discovered my husband's great grandfather and his brother had been also both been cobblers in rural Maryland and also participed in the Civil War, at that time the old family home and outbuildings were still standing, having been inherited by a male relative that never married. Several buildings were being used to store hay and one housed chickens. Much of the old equipment used by the cobblers was still in one of the old buildings, even some ancient shoes. I was 19 at the time and not all that interested in my husband's family history and unaware of my own family history involving cobblers. I wish now that we'd tried to salvage some of the items. My son is not a cobbler despite having cobbler ancestors from my his father's family. I really enjoy watching your videos because they give me some insight into some of what my ancestors may have done although I imagine their work was much more primative and basic. I'd imagine back then a cobbler was very necessary and probably busy serving the community.
An extensive restoration to be sure!!! Thank goodness you have the Master skills and knowledge that you have in order to complete this job to your usual high standards...lets continue!
if I ever had a pair of 30yr old shoes and was willing to spend over $800 to repair it, I know whom to have it done for me. This guy's work is outstanding
If I were in the USA, I would be bringing my shoes only to Mr. Steve here. In every video, I see a very serious and professional approach to each repair. The end result speaks for itself. It's like having a favourite doctor/ mechanic; the same applies here. Mr. Steve, I commend your work in the shoe repair industry.
This video is in my top three of all your videos--you outdid yourself with these shoes! And my dad loved his Florsheims too--they were his favorite, so nice to see these being worked on. Very enjoyable to watch.
A third of the way in with that hole in the bottom of the shoe I never imagined such a high quality shoe was hiding inside. I use a credit card for a shoe horn because it is thin and I always have one with me. Or use my license. GREAT RESTORATION ! !
Gorgeous work. Love that style of loafer. Have a pair of Sebago's, (obviously, not shell cordovan), in that style, that I picked up for $13 at a Goodwill store. All leather sole, with a Goodyear welt. In excellent shape. Looks as if they had been worn maybe a month. "Ok...let's continue". 👍😎👍
It is very enjoyable to see someone enjoying their work so much. Many never get to experience this type of joy. Thanks Steve!! They look amazing, not even the same shoes. Beautiful work - cool horn!!
another wonderful job these shoes are so beutiful and you had every right to feel good about your work. iIf the shoe horns ever came about i would love to order one.
As always, love watching you repair shoes. It’s so mesmerizing. I like the shoe repairs more than the boots, although I do like the boot repairs, I just like the shoe repairs better. And you’re so good at it too.
I had a Florsheim loafer similar to those but was horse bit design. The softest most comfortable shoe I have worn. The guy I brought them to told me I could not put new heels and soles on so I threw them out. I am also a Florsheim man and have been wearing them since 1976.
I hope the people in your area realize what a valuable resource to your community you are. My grandfather worked in the shoe industry in Brockton when it was the shoe city. I would watch him in his basement work on his shoe tree, like I watch you. He always had great shoes although I was too young to get it.
hmmm... it's coffee time... Thank you, Steve, for sharing this video. Impressed beyond belief that you remade, rebuilt, restitched, added new leather, conditioned and dyed the shoes like new. I learn something new each time I watch you. It's Hammertime! (I wonder who one of the thumbs down people are?).
Stephen, what a job! -You are indeed a Master Craftsman. I enjoy watching you work, combining creativity, best techniques, and experience to create amazing Fine Crafts pieces. I’m sure you will inspire many budding cobblers to follow your standards. Regards.
What an amazing job you have done to these shoes. I applaud you Sir for your passion for shoes. I wear Florsheim shoes and some people said they are for poor people. If that's the case consider me poor.
That was a "wow". Unbelievable how well they turned out. I think it's pretty safe to assume there's no more than a dozen (if even that many) people in the country that could turn out a similar result. This is definitely a job to put in your show-off portfolio.
Just received in the mail my brand new Florsheim Yuma loafers. Absolutely Awesome. Thanks Steve.
CHEERS......
Sandy
Paul Bielen my pleasure
Paul, could you tell us a little history on these shoes?
Amazing work on the shoes in all your videos, that goes without saying. But, I love the presentation, the interaction with the viewers, the good humor maintained throughout.
Time simply flies while watching your videos!😃
WOW.......I can't express the craftsmanship you showed us. I also cannot believe you worked on your day off.......Craftsmanship and a love for what you do.
Mr. Bedo is feeling his oats. All kidding aside, that was an especially good reconstruction. It deserves an award.
A shoehorn with a "Bedo's Leatherworks" logo? Sign me up.
'I know what you some of guys are thinking: that's never gonna look good. Omg, Steve ruined the shoes!'
That thought never even crossed my mind lol you are a true master of your craft. Happy 4th!
Unreal
The 4 people who gave this a thumbs down probably have zero talent at anything!
You are not just a very skilled craftsman, you are an artist. Beautiful job...👍👍👍
That was really interesting. Never realised that the leather in a moccasin went completely under the foot. Beautiful restoration yet again. Well done.
A real joy seeing a master craftsman at work.
Amazing workmanship. Kinda reminds of restoring a classic car, by the time you’ve cut out the rot and replaced all the panels the only original part left is the ash tray and the floor mats 👍☺️
Alan Jenkinson so true 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know how many times you hear this, But your doing an important services for your fellow man. God bless you!
Unbelievable, what a master craftsman. Steve, you have convinced me that buying quality crafted shoes are worth the money.
Amazing. So glad you haven't lost your sense of Yuma.
Arthur Kurtz,
“I see what you did there.”
😁👍🏻
Steve always does a great job when he repairs a pair of shoes, he puts nothing but TLC into them. He could repair my shoes any day, I just love him.

Great work, (as to be expected from you) Stevo! Thank God there are people out there willing to pay for a proper craftsman! Beautiful shoes!
The end result earned my subscription! Fantastic rebuild!!
Great looking shoe....looks very comfortable! I like this guy's sense of humor😄

Why is the fact it's a great styie make it rare? Wouldn't it be the opposite?
I have just discovered that I have 4 videos to watch that I missed while I have been ill. I had 6 but I've already watched 2.

For some odd reason your show never gets old. Keep going.

Best shoes I've ever owned were Florsheim. Those turned out amazing.
Steve. Watched this in place of housework. Great job as always
all the repairs you do are extraordinary , they are tons harder then making everything from new , always keep on smiling and all the best .

That is 1 hell of a reconstruction Steve. Awesome job.
Very nice. Awesome repair/restoration.
I'm amazed every time I watch you work. They don't look like the same shoes.
GREAT WORK SIR 👍... An absolute pleasure to watch.... Thank You...
Loved this project seeing where it came from to looking like a new shoe was just amazing
They turned out gorgeous.

This video just shot to my number one! I'm pretty sure! Lol. Great job Steve.
i worked as a shoe salesman for Florsheim in Chicago when i was young. i had 3 pairs of this most Excellent pair of shoes.
A third of the way in with that hole in the bottom of the shoe I never imagined such a high quality shoe was hiding inside. I use a credit card for a shoe horn because it is thin and I always have one with me. Or use my license. GREAT RESTORATION ! !
AMAZING that you are also an Excellent woodworker!! FABULOUS Job!!

Wow!!! You really did it this time. Just like new. What an accomplishment. You are a shoe maker for sure.

Gr8 job Steve... I own some old Florsheim’s. Hope u and ur family are well. Bless u all...thanks for the gr8 video.Gr8 gr8 job Steve.
