Hardly the story, as you well know. Cobblers have just been doin’ their thing, getting on with the trade, making customers happy with a new lease on life for their well worn footwear. Then YT struts along and suddenly we’ve windows into *ALL* the expert tradesmen & -women and their worlds. And it is awesomely f&*kin cool. We *LOVE IT*. ***ROCK ‘N’ ROLL!!!***
My Dad did repair and skates and scissors sharpened...for 55 yrs. I worked with him till I was 18. It is amazing to see how much things have stayed the same, yet changed. I am 75 yrs old... :) Excellent!
This was, surprisingly, good therapy for winding down. I enjoyed watching how you made those boots like new again. I love learning new things. I have a pair of Nikes you can't buy anymore. I bought them, used, in the late 90's. The sole is coming off the back of one of the shoes. So, after watching yours and other's videos, I am repairing it myself. As a retired lady, who is 75 and on an extremely low income, I do what I can to save money where I can. I'm sure thankful for these videos. Blessings.
Wow! I'm so glad that I found your video. I live in Louisiana, USA. When I was a child, I had a metal shoeshine box with brushes and products inside. I loved cleaning, treating and shining my dad's shoes and my own. That was more than 60 years ago! I'm now in my 70s. Even as an adult, I get satisfaction from caring for my shoes. Today, I was looking for videos to help me figure out which products to buy... and step-by-step instructions on how to re-glue Vibram soles on two pairs of my shoes. They had already been resoled... but it didn't hold. I was happy to see your use of 'cork filler' (I'll need something like that to fill an area on each sole where there's a company 'symbol' that's deepset). I appreciate learning about ALL of the techniques and products that you used, from start to finish. So, thanks to you, I've finally gotten some professional 'instruction' on caring for leather shoes... after all these years! Thank you so much for posting this video. 🤓👍🇺🇸
I really appreciate that you talk about what you're doing instead of just looping shitty music in the background. I hate when people are doing interesting, detail oriented work, but don't say a word, so thanks!
I love this because it’s a dead art in America. We throw shoes away and just get new ones. I’m a builder and renovator so seeing a cobbler works is great. Very impressive craftsmanship.
Theres American cobblers, these days thru do orthopedic shoes and shoes that would be expensive to replace, same as here. I also recommend Trenton and Heath, watched a video by them recently where they resolved a coal miner’s boot. Made it a lot more rugged and ready to take the mud and hydraulic fluid of an Appalachian coal mine
@@markilleen4027 lMAO, I can’t imagine a single boot is actually manufactured in the US anymore and if it is don’t let a democrat know. They will destroy that business.
@@TheRonin248 you don't know what you're talking about. White's, Red Wings, Alden. None of them with any particular political affiliation. Talking absolute cobblers.
In such a disposable world it's really great to see a true craftsman doing his job well, years ago I had my favorite cowboy boots resouled with heavy work grips, less than half the cost of a new pair.....thank you for your skills
@@HaganChannel once you become a boot nerd like me you realize you need to spend $300 MINIMUM to get a pair of boots that is even passable. Carmina is the best boot for the money
Dan, I wish you every success. I love that small business craftsmen are sharing knowledge of their trade online. I'm not a shoe repairman, but I like to maintain my nice shoes and preserve their life, and I appreciate a good shoe repairman in my life.
Who in their right mind would dislike this video? The skill and passion displayed throughout his channel is refreshing. Seeing someone have pride in their business is amazing! Keep up the great work!

The music during the intermissions reiterates why you are such a cool guy 😎! Very intriguing! Never thought watching a cobbler repair shoes would be so fascinating! 😊
I'm from California, so we're in the same lockdown since March. I am beyond pleased to have stumbled upon this eye candy of a video though! Even the manicure is pristine, this man is serious!
I love that you’re showing a cemented re-sole. Love all of my Goodyear and Blake Stitch shoes but cemented shoes with nice uppers have a place and can be re-soled too. Thanks for showing us how.
Ran acrss your channel recovering from an injury. My Dad was a Letter Carrier and one of his deliveries was a cobbler. They also ended up bowling together in a league, so I also got to know him quite well. One night at the bowling alley, Mom and Dad were talking about needing someone to watch me for a couple hours the next afternoon. He immediately volunteered! I spent a wongerful afternoon asking questions, learning things that helped me with school papers for years to come! You brought back mang happy memories! Thank you!
It truly is an art what you do. First time watching, and I gotta see more of your work. Never even had any footwear resoled but just like watching videos like this. Amazing work.
I took a pair of John Lobbs to the repair shop by Liverpool Street station and they butchered them. This guy would have treated them with the respect they deserved. Quality work.
Great channel. First time watcher. I live here in the states and wished we had these old shops and streets. There’s so much to love about it. And craftsmen like you keeping the art alive is awesome. You’ve earned a sub.
@Mason David The proof that masks and social distancing is working is very weak, or the fact that it may do more harm than good. Whether or not you want to be a guineapig when it comes to the vaccines is another topic.
@Mason David Lets hope you dont get the bad end of it! I have lung disease from asbestos already. Im sure covid would kill me. You are flippant about life. Not good.
That was interesting you can see that you really take pride in your craft you don't see as much of that this day in age Great job keep up the good work
The first whistle/jingle you did brought me back to that one movie I can't remeber exept archer fox dude and trumpet hippos. The last time a listen to that jingle was probably 5-6 years ago
Aww WOW! What a fine job! Greetings from 70 miles north of San Francisco CA, USA. Happy to have found you and watch your amazing transformation of these shoes. J
Its a shame more people do not have their boots or shoes repaired instead of simply throwing them away to endless up as landfill. A nice relaxing video with no nonsense presenting .
It's probably very much down to cost of doing this. New Earthkeepers cost £155 retail, you can get them discounted for £108 from Timberland. I would wager that replacing the soles alone will cost you very close to or equal in parts and labor than the £108, not talking about leather midsoles. The soles alone cost you anywhere from £15 to £20 per sole without the markup. Then the craftsman has to pay himself a decent wage and account for the running costs of the shop itself. I might be wrong, but looking at the amount of time spent on this pair of boots I cannot see this being very much cheaper than £100. I mean, you make a Rolls Royce out of a Vauxhall, but do you need it? That's each individual's question to respond to. I came here because with the snow out I just discovered a crack in the sole of my Timberlands, but they cost me £70 from Timberland. Not sure if I want to spend that much to re-sole them if I can get a pair of new boots with the sales.
@@gags730 exactly my point. It’s a shame because seeing guys like this makes me want to spend good money more often on quality End up saving money in long run having repairs done than buying new pair every 6 - 12 months
This was another great lesson in shoe repair. You are a fine tradesman that is keeping an old fashioned art alive. Thanks again for going to the trouble of sharing you skills and knowledge.
I love how this guy takes pride in his work, I got the exact same boots model. lf I was in the States I would take them to him. I doubt anyone else could do the job as well as he does here where I live.
it's been 3 days since ive been winding down my day to your videos and i just have to say what a youtube pro you are at editing. it feels like im watching a masterclass every time. love the background music as well - it's perfect for just relaxing at the end of a long day. kudos, dan! great job! :)
Love the craftsmanship of this guy .. Very very professional and love what he does i can tell .. Unfortunately and sadly this is something not too many people wants to do or interest as a job .. To me is Art man . is just pure inspiration .. Keep it up man . i wish i could give you some work , but I'm too far away lol....my regards from Costa Rica my God BLESS You and keep you and provide for all your needs Amen 🙏🙏 .... You will never walk alone
A brilliant man with a good sense of humor at 12:18. " Because if it wonky, he will end up walking in circles!" The caliber of a man is in doing something that he can guarantee to work and this gentleman's manipulations and processes, measures him in an absolute manner. Most people in modern life never do anything that needs to be guaranteed and they give vociferous services without ever making a tangible product ensuring that they are never measured absolutely but relatively, to other people around them, which is no measure at all!! Congratulations on the workmanship and the sense of humor.
Great feeling getting shoes repaired, better than buying new one's . This man is very skilled and has a nice attitude I would want to spend my money there.
Wish you were in New York so I could take a lot of my shoes for a restoration. I really appreciate and respect this craft and mostly the attention you give to the shoe is rare to see around here. So, if you can't open shop here then train very well an apprentice and tell them to open shop here 🤣🤣
The cost of a new pair of Tims is low. If you had a pair Frye boots or another better boot it would be worth a repair. I had a similar tim boot and it was like 100$ to do all this vs 200 for new, I felt it wasn’t worth it. Took my 200 and found a pair fryes on sale from 450 to 260 and got those....
Love the video. I remember when I worked in an office and wore different shoes, and had a few resoled. I'm a huge fan of leather soles on dress shoes. Vibram is my go-to for casuals and boots. It's nice to see cobblers like this still exist. Awesome job.
Damn. This video reminded me of my old secondary school brogues from the 80s. Could never wait to wear them down so as to have a new leather sole and heel with a metal tip that made a clink on the concrete pavements. I can smell the new buffed leather just by watching this video. Cheers man.
this is cool, I've been a lineman here in the States for 40 years... I've had good work boots and, bad ones same with my hiking shoes but, always having to roll the dice and buy new ones... if I had a guy like you near by I would have MUCH happier feet. My son plays baseball. I can imagine the magic you can do with a baseball glove.
I first saw you yesterday putting on some Jr leather and some Lulu tips. Then today I see you upgrading some Timberlands. At first I was entertained, and now I feel informed. I have had a nice pair of green Timberlands in my closet for a while. The ankle pulled away from my upper, but I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I am so happy to know that they can be fixed. Thank you for your wonderful video
I've only ever had one pair of boots resoled. Really nice, knee high, steel toe climbing boots when I was a tree trimmer. Supple as silk in the ankle. Had 'em for several years. Seems like just a couple months later somebody stole them. I'd let them air out in back of the truck on the way home. Somebody probably grabbed them at a gas station I guess. Hope they really needed them.
I dont know how i got to this chanel fell asleep watching Ed Sheeran and woke up to the sound of a beautiful voice and then just like that LOL , I was impressed 😍😍😍😍😍😍😂😂😂😂😂💗💗💗. Thank you for the videos they are so calming and satisfying!!!
I don't know why this came to my infeed a while back, as I thought I had no interest in shoe repairs. But as it turns out I find Dans? videos fascinating, and obviously an interest I had no idea I had. I suspect I may have chosen the wrong vocation.
Welcome to the absurdity of the algorithm; i have no interest in shoes, but I've watched 3 videos that have popped in my feed now and I can't scroll past them when they do now.
Just stumbled across this video. Awesome, a true craftsman! I used to get my shoes repaired all the time and they always seemed better than new. Going to start doing it again.
Love this. Many would argue that it's not worth repairing boots and they'd say it's best to just buy a new pair. But damn it they're my boots, I've worn them for years, and I want to keep them going.
Cobblers have waited literally thousands of years for RUclips to show that their profession is pretty damn cool
I think its the buffed up dude that brings in the ladies
Lol. I have had my shoes repaired and I always wondered what they did to fix it and better than new too.

Damn. This video reminded me of my old secondary school brogues from the 80s. Could never wait to wear them down so as to have a new leather sole and heel with a metal tip that made a clink on the concrete pavements. I can smell the new buffed leather just by watching this video. Cheers man.

this is a rabbit hole I thought I'd never go down but live and learn.
this is cool, I've been a lineman here in the States for 40 years... I've had good work boots and, bad ones same with my hiking shoes but, always having to roll the dice and buy new ones... if I had a guy like you near by I would have MUCH happier feet. My son plays baseball. I can imagine the magic you can do with a baseball glove.
Cork filler? Never heard of it before now. Every day’s a learning day! Great work. 👍🏻
Thank you for making lockdown a little easier. Love to watch a craftsman at work.
Thanks Dan. Four pair of my shoes received some TLC today, while watching your videos. Great to watch. Oddly satisfying 😌
I first saw you yesterday putting on some Jr leather and some Lulu tips. Then today I see you upgrading some Timberlands. At first I was entertained, and now I feel informed. I have had a nice pair of green Timberlands in my closet for a while. The ankle pulled away from my upper, but I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I am so happy to know that they can be fixed. Thank you for your wonderful video
An excellent job, hopefully everyone will work like this professionally. Congratulations, good job.
I've only ever had one pair of boots resoled. Really nice, knee high, steel toe climbing boots when I was a tree trimmer. Supple as silk in the ankle. Had 'em for several years. Seems like just a couple months later somebody stole them. I'd let them air out in back of the truck on the way home. Somebody probably grabbed them at a gas station I guess.
Hope they really needed them.
AWESOME video! Here in America it's almost impossible to find a shop that will do boot repairs anymore.
I dont know how i got to this chanel fell asleep watching Ed Sheeran and woke up to the sound of a beautiful voice and then just like that LOL , I was impressed 😍😍😍😍😍😍😂😂😂😂😂💗💗💗. Thank you for the videos they are so calming and satisfying!!!
Ended up here after watching Trenton and Heath’s resole on the Earthkeepers. Subtle differences, but y’all are masters of your craft. Great vid!
Appreciate that thanks man.
Somehow my shoe whoring brought me here, and i am happy to see someone fixing good shoes that the average person would just put in the bin.
Just trying to save one shoe at a time :)
@@Dan_the_cobbler how much would a job like that cost?
He’s whistling one of the songs from the animated version of Robin Hood! My daughter loved that when she was a kid. 😁
I knew it! One of the best animated films ever.
I was trying to figure out where that's from
I don't know why this came to my infeed a while back, as I thought I had no interest in shoe repairs. But as it turns out I find Dans? videos fascinating, and obviously an interest I had no idea I had. I suspect I may have chosen the wrong vocation.
Welcome to the absurdity of the algorithm; i have no interest in shoes, but I've watched 3 videos that have popped in my feed now and I can't scroll past them when they do now.
I watch this channel after Delta 8. I don’t know why but I just trip out on how good this dude is at repairing shoes.
Excellent workmanship, a very fine sense of humor and you evidently love your trade. Congratulations, dude!
Personally I prefer sewn on soles but you've definitely done a good job with these. Nice work. Cool shop too.
I like this guy! A pleasure to watch!
When you said hammer time, I had something completely different in mind.
Just stumbled across this video. Awesome, a true craftsman! I used to get my shoes repaired all the time and they always seemed better than new. Going to start doing it again.
Love this. Many would argue that it's not worth repairing boots and they'd say it's best to just buy a new pair. But damn it they're my boots, I've worn them for years, and I want to keep them going.
I’m not sure how I ended up here, but I’m unable to skip this.
