these are my shoes! i'm a bit ashamed at how gross the insoles looked, but that's what 5 years of wear will get you :) for anyone curious how much this cost: i paid $175 (plus shipping) for the resoling, deep clean & airbrush, and they generously threw in the heel counter/footbed replacement free of charge. well worth it considering how much i wear them + the amazing job goods & services did. i'll def be using them again next time i need a pair of shoes fixed up
@@smelltheglove1726 mostly just personal preference. as long as they can be repaired for less than the cost of a new pair, i'd rather get them repaired
Good choice on repair. Better insoles, better heel/toe counters, broken in, environmentally friendly, economical.. Best of all, they are personal to you.
This shop does such amazing work, when something like this comes-in, I am gonna assume that they were acquired a thrift store and the goal was to get a pair of Common Projects for $150 vs $400.
This is awesome don’t get me wrong . However I think this would cost $100-150 unless you can do it yourself . My common projects are 2 years old ........I have no doubt they will last 3 years and look no where near as bad as these did (at the start). $410/3=$136 per year ..... plus you can usually find them on sale for $350 at some point in the year . Common projects are just not that expensive.... they last forever. Ultraboost $180, air force 1 $90, air max 90 $120 (none of which last over a year).

Curious, why did you go with a re-sole vs buying a new pair, $200 vs $350 - $400. Thanks

@@michaelhankin5603 Thanks. How-long was the turn-around time from when you shipped to when they were completed?
@@smelltheglove1726 about a week, not including the shipping back to me

Y'all gotta keep up this work. These videos are probably some of the best stress-relief I've gotten in a while. Love the work!
Thanks for watching! And glad we could help with your stress! 😀
It's several times more difficult to mend than to make a new pair of shoes, you did a great job.👍

Turned out really nice but where can you get these Margom Outsoles? And are they real Margom Soles?
great my boss. So I want to learn, boss
Can it the repaired if the holes that hold the seams are loose ?
How do you get cupsole the size and shape you need? How would I get them?
What is the material you used for the insole?
Where did you get the sole?
For marketing reasons, the repair makes sense, but economically speaking, it's smarter to get a new pair.
These vids are amazing. And if you weren't so good at what you do, this video would be proof that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of a cure
Just... wow
How money for this work
how much would a restoration like this cost?
You do amazing work! Are you self taught?
Whats is type the glue?
You should have used a Last. It would have had a better shape in at the end. Still a great video! :)

how they even got to this point
Can you guys do a Handmade Bape sta? Just a idea
Was it fungus on the insoles? I am a bit worried about the cobbler's skin health...
why?
