  • These are beautiful shoes, unfortunately the toe counter was a bit messed up. We had to figure out to do something before the crease would get worse so I took it apart and reinforced the toe counter. Then added flat welt, leather midsoles, Jr soles, leather heel base and dovetail heels. Customer wanted the wood grain finish. I think they turned out great.

    Great video. You transformed a factory made shoe (with a flaw) into a custom, handmade classic for the customer. You added strength, durability and value to the shoe. The customer most certainly got his money's worth.

    I wonder if the original dude who complained about the hammering is still watching. You’ve been torturing him for YEARS! 😂

    Steve when you were tapping in the toe counter you looked just like your dad sitting on the stool in your company logo, loved this video and keep em coming.

    In my not always humble opinion, you have impeccable taste in your chosen skill. That is really impressive work Steve. On a lighter note I know sometimes you do Dad jokes. I just heard a Chuck Norris joke I hadn’t heard before. When Chuck Norris was born he drove his Mom home from the hospital. Thanks, Steve!

    When your feet are size 13D, your choice of shoes is limited. Fixing a pair that fit well is worth the price. Great job.

    About bird seed, I learned that using black oil sunflower seeds will bring a better variety of birds and not so many sparrows that will dominate the the seeds and keep other birds away. I learned this while recovering from a near fatal accident and enjoyed watching my feeder and sparrows driving other birds away my wife’s mom an avid bird watcher told me about it and it worked. I have watch many cobblers videos and none compare to yours I think it is because of your personality and positive attitude especially when you change your voice to imitate a troll’s comment, it cracks me up every time 👍

    OLD Leather Smith here, great job as always Steve. Just 1 suggestion, I use a blush brush 4 my soul painting you only have 2 do it once instead of 3 times, just dip the brush in your 3 different colors. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃

    Now that's my kind of rebuild! The addition of a mid-sole of substance! Love the layer of denim to bridge the gemming, and how you incorporated that into the gemming/upper/welt stitching. Very nice detail! Also love the upgrade to stacked leather and the combi top lift you put on it. The only thing missing (in my book) would be some Lulus. Gorgeous hoof-covers, even before your touch. Nice/tight spi on the stitching and the color matching bottom thread. Very nice. Trimming wheel and decorative edging work just makes it pop!!

    I love the little edge lip on the sole. Classy.

    A fine cobbler is so hard to find. You are an artist.

    Man i just love your work its beautiful. Your Art is genuinely top quality been watching your channel since 2017 and let me tell you something i have not seen this quality workmanship. It will be an honor to get a shoe repaired from you whenever i can afford one until then let others ultilize that

    WOW! What a beautiful job you've done. Like Factory New, but you saved that beautiful pair of flawed Cordovan shoes. Thank you for a wonderful video! I happen to be an Allen Edmonds fan and a Collector. Cheers!
