    I grew up in Brazil where friends would drop by unannounced and hang out. It was VERY different than how friends spend time in America (I live in Texas). Watching Steve making these videos feels like the good ole days where friends dropped by unexpectedly, you had a good time hanging out, then you continue on to whatever you were doing. Love watching these videos! This guy has such an enjoyable personality and he cracks me up with his corky jokes. Thanks for putting all the work you do in this channel sir! I sure enjoy it. Now let's continue...

      the fact he put so much effort into buying a good camera phone and a nice mic just to show the best video he could make is really kind he`s amazing at repairing leather and great at repairing small missfits (that most dont even get bothered by but stil the effort is nice) not to mention a mic and all that costs money yall should thank him for pleasing your requests actually so I`mma say it too- thank you! just found your channel after te ruined designer bag it was so cute and cool how you repaired everything I tought it was perfect the brand new feeling seeing its clean and the effort makes one happy it doesnt have to be original like you said.

    I‘d rather watch Steve recording these videos on his “less pro” equipment than a some 2000$ camera. It gives me a down to earth real life vibe, feel like watching an old friend doing his job on the side. Perhaps this is why I watch Steve’s video much more than Brian the Boot Maker (don’t get me wrong I like Brian too lol).

As for me, I will always remain your fan here in New Delhi -India. I would love to get a shoe restored, but here in this part of the world we do not get shoes that cost or last that much! So be it. Best Wishes.

    @rpm172 4 года назад +32

    I thoroughly enjoy your presentations, and today's insight about not getting bent out of shape due to negative comments was refreshing to hear. Lots of videos are all about sarcasm, irony and hedonism i.e. " this is the best", "I'm the best", "their way is wack". It appeals to some but I think your audience just enjoys the minutia of craftsmanship you put into it, and the witty banter that accompanies it is endearing. This is my favorite channel to play while I'm at work. Keep showing more things and different things, but don't change how you present.
    Microphone - slightly muffled but your levels are spot on. Maybe position the mic slightly closer to you.
    Content - can you set off each project identifying the maker, the approximate year of manufacture and level of quality (custom shoe, high end manufacturer, low-end mass producer) make comments on what you understand to be the philosophy of why makers execute the certain construction you see? (tradition, economics, materials logistics, prevailing thoughts of the era). I understand that everything can be fixed, but that depends on the mileage of your wallet. So, how about some low end restorations (ebay shoe with bare minimum resole and heel)
    Great channel! I hope one day to have some footwear for you to grace.

    @mkivy 3 года назад

    Thank you so much sir...I have always admired the master craft of shoe cobblers as well as other crafts like iron forging, leather work, jewelry (and not that crazy Bling), etc etc. I was born in a generation when most things were made by human beings...we had a shoe cobbler in my little town and I would go up there , buy a bag of penny candy and walk into the shop. The first thing I remember was the myriad smell of glues, leathers, and the transistor radio playing Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby...the man would tell me to sit down and he’d get a tall stool and place me near where he’d be working...so there’d I’d sit and share my candy with him and his helper. I loved it! So thank u for the memories!

    Just got back from some oral surgery (had three wisdom teeth and a molar taken out) and really enjoyed seeing a new video. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone. I thought the video quality was super duper good and I think the audio is much better too. Sometimes I could just barely hear you speaking even with headphones in and the volume all the way up. Still loved the past videos and thanks for giving us a glimpse into your world.

  • @goodcat4644

    2nd time I watched this video. I started recycling and repurposing residual waste as you do. I like the idea of you stamping your shops name on the sole, the better CB shops around the US put a decal seal with their name on the CB's after a repair is done. A stamp of pride for a repair well done. I like your video's.

    @fepatton 4 года назад

    About 20 years ago, I chucked a beautiful pair of Church's because I hadn't been paying enough attention to the sole, and it wore through. (Uppers were shiny, though!) A guy at the local shoe repair place told me they were junk now because I had (just barely) gone through. So I tossed them. Now that I see these videos, and I can't help but think that they could have been saved. I occasionally now imagine that I've found them at the back of the closet. :D

    Hello,I stumbled across your video and watched you bring back to life a lovely pair of churches Brouges , of which I am an owner of and have not worn for years, so I dug them out of the wardrobe, on inspection they are full of dust and the leather on the uppers is very dry- laces are missing - they cost me good money, but being that I was raised in northampton England, home of churches shoes, you have spurred me on to get some conditioner wax and polish for them and start wearing them again ,cheers

    Good camera work is generally camerawork that goes unnoticed- which I wouldn't have without you commenting about it! Then I really realized how much better the quality was. Focus was better, nothing was over-exposed, sound was great.
    I also like your mentality on critical comments- if someone critiques your work, they took the time to digest it, and then remark on ways to improve. I wish I could carry that optimistic view with me everywhere!

I would sometimes get them fixed depending on how much I paid for the shoes, I had I think about 3 pairs of Bostonian's and probably every type of Personally I think they look AWESOME Steve! Again you are not just a everyday Cobbler, you are an ARTIST and the shoes, bags ect.. are your canvases! Watching you do what you do relaxes me! Years and years ago I managed a Agnew store (Ashton, Aggies) here in Canada, actually 3 store's but not @ the same time lol I was there for close to 10 years! As you know Agnew sold 1 of your most favorite shoe Jarman and I probably had almost every style they made, not now unfortunately! I have no idea what happened to them, wish I still had them! Oh well lol cheers Steve
