Hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did! Also, who would like a proper tour of Tring museum next time? p.s make sure to hide behind a pillow for the ending ...
the combination of him being a fantastically skilled tradesman, and a massive dork make this one of the more unique and interestingly fun channels out there.
@@galaxyluver Did you miss the parts with the lime green croc? And in this context (entertainment) I don't believe the dork comment to be an insult. Great video.
I don’t know how I came to watching a UK cobbler fix shoes but it’s very fascinating. It’s a concept I’ve never given any thought before and fun to see the work behind it. Just know you do an amazing job and your videos are very entertaining and educational.
Hi Dan, I've discovered you by accident recently and I'm loving your videos! There's something very relaxing and incredibly satisfying watching you demonstrate your skill in something that is centuries old that people don't realise is still a valuable and much needed skill to this very day.
The most amazing thing about this restoration was the eyes. I thought it was going to look like googly eyes (LOL) but they actually suited the shoes, how incredible. You did an amazing job buddy, just jaw dropping. Regards from South Africa
Looks amazing! I cannot find a skilled cobbler where I live in the United States so you all across the pond are lucky to have such a passionate cobbler!
The quality of your work is impressive. I'm not a fan of exotic leather and the eyes are......I cannot imagine a shoe project that you could not tackle and produce an outstanding product. Love your energy and enthusiasm and eagerly await your videos. Thank you so much for sharing.
I never get tired of watching you repair shoes. I still wish I had the knowledge, skills, and equipment to repair my own favorite pairs of shoes that I’m still hanging onto in hopes they do have a remedy. Keep up the good work, Dan!!! Greetings from another huge fan in the US!
I thought that the eyes on the shoes look very tacky, but I must say that your job is super! Well done Dan!!! Thumbs up m8 and greetings from Greece. Keep up the good job.
When you took out the half-insole I saw the brand stamp and knew for sure! That's a Mexican made crocodile shoe imported by the company I work for here in Texas! We add eyes to some of our exotic skin shoes as well, specifically Caiman leatherd shoes. 👟 It's crazy to see how a pair of our exotic shoes (we make primarily exotic boots) has made it across the pond to the UK, and ended up in your shop! Very cool to see! Excellent work by the way, those eyes look just like when they leave our factories in Leon Mexico! Well done!
@@Dan_the_cobbler Hey Dan I’ve been really enjoying your video’s especially when everyone was on LOCKDOWN!! I’ve been wondering is did you attend school to learn your Craft, or did you do an Apprenticeship under a Master???
Again - i am watching a bloke fix shoes. Why can't i stop watching lol. I thought "eyes on shoes" was a bit mad, but the end result is really good, even if not my thing. I can't believe the state the shoes were in when you took them to pieces and the end result was even more stunning for that. It's a pretty expensive repair - most people wouldn't spend half that buying a new pair of shoes, so it's nice to see someone deciding that those shoes were worth the expense and time to save and improve them. Stunning job as always !
Crikey Mate!!! I love watching your videos. Not only are they informative but they are hilarious as well. I have to say this one is my favourite not only because of the content and your working on crocodile skin but your theatrics are on point. Keep up the great work and much love from Australia.
18:23 Robin Hood was my favorite Disney cartoon when I was a child and I also find myself whistling that tune while I’m at work! Keep cobbling, bruv! The fact that your keeping a skill and trade going during this time of human’s “disposable” and “single use” mentality, is a great accomplishment!
I would never put this work of art on my feet, I love your movies and keep it up, old professions are dying out and you are an example of the fact that passion can be reconciled with old profession and decent earnings. Best regards from Poland
The outtakes had me laughing right out loud(hubs & the cats were giving me strange looks). I honestly thought those shoes were ready for the bin and you made them look new again. Every step along the way was interesting and informative. Well done, mate.
As Dan says "There ain't nothing to it but to do it!" Always a pleasure to watch you work sir, great charisma and craft skill being displayed. Blessing to ya!
Really a test to Dan's skills to save such sole-less shoes of such expensive leather ! Not only restored to basic usage condition, but also conditioned and moisturised to look good again. And we get to see custom-painted soles again and lulu toe plates! Always like to see those done. The crocodile eye turned out good too, sits really flush and looks as if they were manufactured with this eye. The orange insole is also not something you see on daily basis. And it can be seen the Croc had problems to drag out such big prey like Dan, hope he will turn on inner Schwarzenegger and Stalone at once and will be back for more shoe repairs !
I was so afraid I was going to hate the croc eyes but they came out so so cool!! The proportion looks pretty realistic and really flashy in a fun- but not tacky way
Nice watching a professional doing his craft and enjoying it clearly. I sadly don’t have any shoes worth saving but if I did I’d definitely send them to you 👍
I'm sure you have workdays that never end but watching your videos makes me seriously regret my career choices Dan. Thanks for the entertaining videos. Brilliant!
The old adage of getting what you paid for is 100% accurate, worth every penny. Coincidentally my wife and I were talking about a pair of shoes I have that are over 35 years old, been worked on countless times, this was a great watch.
Hi Dan! I love the crocodile eyes, makes the shoes so unique. Lovely, oh and I still like flippingdrawers! If you don't want somebody to mention them in the comments? Then don't mention them yourself love . Beautiful work as always x
Hi Dan, i think this was my favourite video so far. Was not sure about the eyes at first but loved them when finished. Attention to detail is amazing, the heels and soles having the croc effect👍cheeky about your ex being in the museum (I think mine was next to her😂🤣)
14:46 “Voila! One way ticket to brown town.” Love it! Idk about the UK, but in America a one-way ticket to brown town has a totally different meaning! I love British humor, it kills me everytime!
"One way ticket to Brown Town" comment AND a glove snap in the same video, not to mention a cobbler who actually allowed a Croc in his store... wow. HOWEVER, the coolness factor of those shoes made up for it, though! They looked like total trash when you started on them, and I can't believe how nice they turned out. The soles are incredibly cool with the pattern airbrushed on, and I LOVE the eyes, too, though I don't think I'd have the courage to wear them. It's one of those things you know the fashion police would call you out on, but you secretly gotta love! LOL! Seriously, I love all your videos. I never thought I'd enjoy watching shoe repair, but I watch you and Steve Bedo all the time. Something about watching craftsmen do their thing I guess!
What a fantastic job Dan! You did a better job than the bloke who made the shore in the first place. We really enjoyed meeting you the other day. Thanks for the advice on the polish.
That has got to be the most entertaining video that I have ever seen from you. I have never laughed quite so much. I love your Louboutin repairs, which reminds me that I have to have mine repaired.
Wow this was awesome. Seen a couple of things I hadn't before - such as the back lining and of course the crocodile eyes. Very creative and they turned out great. This was definitely a massive job - essentially all you had left was the actual crocodile skin uppers, so this was practically a new shoe. Nice work. Probably my favourite too.
This was a fun video to watch! I thought it was really interesting how you showed how to recondition the reptile leather, as well as the attention to detail in the sole of the shoe. 10/10
Still received my upload notification since the name change, so all's well on that front. When I saw how rough the shoes were after deconstruction I didn't think they could be saved but what a fantastic job on your part.
I'm really enjoying the videos. The detailed repairs and watching the skills of a ture professional is relaxing. Just found this channel a few days ago and I bet I've watched 5hrs or more. Very interesting stuff and a great sence of humor 😄 🤣
Honestly? I really love the eyes. The idea of positioning them so that the shoe looks like the snout of a crocodile is a really good idea and pretty high concept. I think you should totally revisit it and think about it from an artistic perspective, especially since with your skills there's really nothing you couldn't do. Great job!
Love these videos. Its like 'shoemaking therapy' I just wish I was rich enough to afford shoes from Crafstman. You are right, the eyes are not for everyone, but if the owner enjoys them, next time he sends the shoes back ask him if he wants to add nostrils on the toes for the full lurking alligator effect 😂
@@JohnnieFruits It is. But if Dan wants to learn it I'm pretty sure he'd get rather good at it. Doesn't seem like the kind of guy who's oblivious to the details that set a good job apart from a mediocre one...
Amazing work. I always have a deep appreciation for a craftsmen who takes his craft very seriously and will not settle for anything less than near perfection. I do odds and ends type of work but I too always make sure a job is done well and looks good even if it wont be seen. Also I had a quick question... with how tattered some of the material is would this restoration really be it's last or do you think there is a chance 10 years from now they could be restored again? I have a feeling from the condition overall this would be the last run but I could be wrong.
BTW, anyone ever told you that one of your tats always makes your lower bicep look bruised? I think it every time I see it until I realize its part of a tattoo.
I was horrified at cutting up those shoes for the eyes at first, but it turned out to be great. The dad jokes make me chuckle but the bloopers were the best. Great job!
I saw your video it was really cool to see how you restored the shoes and added the eyes the job once finished was really amazing all the work and to see that you got all the equipment to do the job
Good day! Greetings from Ukraine! Unfortunately, due to some unfortunate circumstances, it is not possible to watch all your videos, but what I see is impressive! The crocodile's eyes look very nice and look around. You are a real master, about whom golden hands say. Thank you!
Thanks for another interesting video. It's because of the museum that I found this channel. I grew up several miles away from Tring and my mates and I would ride our bikes out to Tring every Saturday to wander around the museum. When I saw the title of this channel I wondered if it was the same place. (That's why I voted against changing the channel's title). I don't live in England anymore but when I go back for a visit I'll call in with a pair of Grensons that need resoled.
Wow. Considering the character of those dress shoes and the unique reptile leather, that eye you added is perfect. I bet the owner is very happy. I would be.
U r trully a fantastic legend to repair shoes brother.....u r really a beautiful man who gives lot of ittention to every inch of it and makes it perfect as if it looks new shoes.... brought from show room....what a great machine's u have got all fantastic brother....really I want to put a shoe repair shop just like u brother and put ur name on that shop....with lots of love from India God Almighty bless u
I really enjoy your sense of humour. It's so utterly British. Great Job with the shoes. It really looks stunning. Completely transformed and its looking like a crocodile from ancient Egypt, very distinct shape.
Dan, to be honest when you striped this shoe right down, I thought there is only one place for this shoe and that’s the bin,, But as ever when you work your magic and apply your professional craftsmanship what a end result, truly amazing, love the eyes, really cool.. Also I own a pair of Barkers Brogues, so will be looking to buy some of your product as I loved the gloss finish on your boots 👍👍. Great video keep them coming…
Dan your shoe artistry just keeps getting better and better. The guy to whom these shoes belong to will surely get some double takes when he wears them. I can't even begin to fathom what those shoes would cost if they had come the way you made them look from the factory. Your second choice for the eye placement was a good idea as the first one may have been problematic as it would have been where the foot bends. Also good to see the croc make a return visit.🤣 Cheers. 🙂
You must be proud of your job, Sir! In the beginning, I was quite skeptical about the customer's idea but after... WOW! Great job, will keep on following your great videos. Best greetings from Ukraine!
Great video! I’m actually visiting London while watching this video but unfortunately I don’t have time to visit your shop before heading to Oxford. Thanks for making your channel so entertaining and informative.
Crocodile skin shoes are usually extremely expensive - $4000 would be more in the region for crocodile shoes. You couldn’t even buy a pair of Churches for $400 10 years ago. Looking at the construction of these shoes I find it hard to believe they’re made of real crocodile skin. Great job - love Dan’s work and his presentation. No nonsense, down to earth and just great!! 👍

Thanks and welcome to the channel!
After the dismantling, those shoes looked really discouraging, but as always the end results were outstanding!
I was amazed at how much they looked like skin. I am so used to leather. Leather is thick so we forget on some level that it is actually skin.
my kind of shoe
This guy is brilliant! A real Cobbler! It's so good to see real craftmanship is still alive.

Crocodile skin shoes are usually extremely expensive - $4000 would be more in the region for crocodile shoes. You couldn’t even buy a pair of Churches for $400 10 years ago.
Looking at the construction of these shoes I find it hard to believe they’re made of real crocodile skin.
Great job - love Dan’s work and his presentation. No nonsense, down to earth and just great!! 👍
