These brown suede Alden boots got a little customization.

- The customer wanted to change a few things on his boots. So we added leather mid soles. House leather and a vibram commando soles. Also added leather heel base and a matching heels. He wanted to remove the factory speed hooks for solid brass stud speed hooks. I think they turned out great. Since I was doing hooks and eyelets, I decided to finish 4 more pairs with similar jobs.
The camera work in this video was excellent. It displayed your techniques and craftsmanship vividly.
I think antique brass or a darker color eyelets would have looked a lot better on those wing tip boots. They were too stylish for those shiny brass ones. Another nice video.
Another great episode when I need work done I'm shipping to you
Nice Batman on the wrist 😃 never seen you wearing it before !!!
Same color suede as my Whites shoes. Wonderful job Sir !!!
Hey Steve, always glad to watch ur work. Hope u and ur family are well… as i said we might just stop by for some coffee and a nice cigar….or Hook-a… thanks for the gr8 video…
My door is always open for guests
Always a pleasure to watch you working.
Hi Steve, what a great selection of boots. Much love and respect to you and yours from the UK 😁👍
It amazes me how much work you get done in a one man shop. Your quality of work is amazing!
I like your voice impersonation of the commenters. 😆
Enjoyed as usual. Love the voices. Thanks and cheers
Nice repairs, Steve! Still wearing the shit out of my Alden’s that you repaired for me about a year and a half ago…
Awesome
Let's continue 👍💫
Always great job Steve! I like your shirt👍👍
Once again you have entertained me and I thank you.
I like your message, you do you, I’ll do me…the world would be a better place! Nice boots, nice work and that watch on your arm, damn, very nice.
The artisan master craftsman at it again!!! TYFS
I cant wait to see Steve Leather Apprentice series where you teach the next generation the great art of leather work!
Great filming here!
Your videos are educational and relaxing thank you
As usual a wonderful video.
Thank you Steve
I just watched a video where you said your wife asked who you were talking to in a video and you said your fans and she rolled her eyes, you two sound like an amazing couple. I bet when you first saw her you broke the ice with “nice shoes” and followed it up with a cool history on whatever shoe she was wearing. Keep up the great work steve, your a great family man to look up to
Great work, Steve! 👍🏻
Great craftsmanship! Thanks so very much
The stitch picker attachment is really COOL!
Beard is looking good!
Thank you for your Videos.
Have a great day.
Nice shirt. Great work .
I want to buy a pair of Alden Indy boots now, thanks to many of your videoes.
Another one!!! Incredible job of the brown suede boots and all the eyelets and stud speed hooks. Sick!!!
Hey Steve, where's Part 2 of the Alden Indy boot job? I wait in anticipation. As always best wishes from 🇬🇧
Working on it, it was a little bit more work then planned
Great video. Really like how you give history of the shoes. Nice work.
Those boots look terrific Steveroo...! Those bright brass eyelets really set them off...! 5 Stars as usual... GG
The boots come alive with the eyelet change as always great jobs you really know your trade and you take it to the top level 👍
I enjoy your craftsmanship. I wait for your videos to post.
Another good job and walk through on the customer’s request.
Much better and beffer/solid pair now🥾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Steve!!! Wonderful work sir. I tremendously enjoy watching you do your superlative work. It's a shame no one wants to apprentice with you.
Nice job on the suede boots. Loved the Thread Buster 2000. Those first pair of brown boots at the end were gorgeous. Thanks again. 👍
Completely agree! You do you! Perfect!
Somebody's Rollin. 💰💰💰
You are right on Steve. The world would be a better place if everyone would stop worrying about the next guy.
Great work. Thank God for OCD customers who’ll spend $600 for a new similar looking sole on a $600 boot! $1200 for an ordinary suede Alden....
Great you’ve got your old voice back Steve..it’s hammer 🔨 time 🔨..
Steve. Always enjoy watching the vids. So relaxing. The eyelet change....spot on. Lets continue. ( I can't tell you how many times I find myself saying to others, "let's continue." ) LOL
Gr8 work Steve!
Excellent work as always! God bless you and yours!
Beautiful boots! The primary pair is a vast improvement over factory! 👏
Great looking boots!......Another beautiful job Steve!
Everybody knows Edison and Bell, but nobody knows the inventor of the stitch picker.
Nice video Steve, always very informative. Let’s continue!
Nice repair Steve they all look excellent 👍
They look great as always Steve!
Lisa
Love your work. Love your channel.
Great work Steve…….awesome jobs. Shine on
That's the first time I've seen Steve use a welt roller
Yay the "hey man" voice is back!!!!!
I know, they all say. Its a art. It really is. Better then from the factory. In the Netherlands we say: Een lust voor het oog.
Great content, I think u missed the anti squeak on the first sole🤷🏼 You are a master craftsmen and make the shit look too easy.
Nice boots
Those are some beautiful boots! Incredible work!
Always exciting to see a new video. Resoles are my favorite!
A nice set of repairs great job!
Hey you got your grumpy voice back!😉🙃😉
They are the customer. It doesn't matter why they want them done a certain way.
Exactly
Awesome job! Always enjoy watching your work.
Great job once again! Love the speed hooks!
Much love Sir xxx
Thank you for another great video Steave! Thanks to you I started to look what shoes or boots i buy and for Christmass i got boots from small Czech company Vasky. Handmade and little rustic but every piece is eriginal. And they are from Zlin, which is city made famous by Tomas Bata the most known Czech shoemaker. So thank for your videos...
and who knows, maybe i will need you to take care of them as i cant possibly trust anyone else, right? :-D
Good to know! They're actually made in Partizánske, Slovakia (also founded by Báťa), so I'll look out for those when I go back 'home' in the summer.
@@nacekozo oh thats almoast shame but i dont mind slovakian brothers work!
@@Krwekrw maybe some are still made in Zlín, but I know they bought out the production facility in Partizánske, which for me is better because of my Slovak family :) There is another Slovak hand-made walking boot company - Makara in Kežmarok - but they are more specialist.
@@nacekozo I am prouch Czecho Slovak! Actually just czech but who cares :-)
holy crap! Bata were very famous here in Australia for school shoes back in the day! had no clue where they came from
Great job as usual!
Gran trabajo, como de costumbre
Good job 👍
Carefull with the Batman, during Hammer Time....
I have a pair of boots with the speed posts and they are beefy compared to the crimped ones.
What are you messing with the Indy lovers out there? 😂 I’m itching to see how those 20 year old pair come out
Working on it
Twill is up here in Minnesota
6:44 essentially expect the unexpected and you'll always have a sound footing.
stitch picker was the star. the ingenuity of mankind. Re those flower shaped reverses of the hooks - why not use a dremel?
Grinding brass and copper rivets going through leather is tough because it heats very very quickly to the point that it burns the leather. It can be done but it goes so slow constantly cooling it down that it really isn't worth it. Plus you get metal Grinding dust into everything, sticks to the glue, contaminates the inners. Makes it hard to clean up. Better to keep it macro with a good pair diagonal cutter snips.
👆👆👆
Yes!
This is art.
How come we have never seen the stitch picker before?
How 'bout 'dat! Our cotton-pickin' cobbler has a cotton-pickin' attachment for his Landis. Who knew? Nice transformation there on those. The last two pair, were those AE Daltons?
No all Alden
And in vintage 4:3 :)
nice.
Beautiful work….as usual!!
Ah, new aspect ratio. Not too shabby. I noticed that you put a eyelet into the boot before adding the speed hook. Is that industry standard or just required for that brand? You also introduced a new guest-star tool. The Stitch Picker!. I wondered if there was a machine powered stitch remover. I usually use a piece of crepe. Was going to try to make a Dremel Crepe bit. Gave up on that. Too complicated. Thanks Steve!
No it’s not an industry standard, I just do it that way to give it a little more structural support. As far as the stitch roller, you can’t use that on all types of welt
I just only today realized how dangerous your job is while you had that box cutter in the sole removing the stitching. How often do you hurt yourself?
Also love the extra pep in your step today!
It does happen but not to often
👏🏻 awesome!!!
I don’t understand people Steve. If the customer has the money and you want the work there is no reason to question why you are doing the work. If I still wore Alden’s I would send them to you in a minute for this customization. When you retire and don’t dress up for work any longer your need for nice clothing diminishes.
The 'voice is returning' all is well with the world.
Steve, what happened to the Indy boot part TWO video?
Working on it
Where all those boots Aldens? Mostly interested in the split toe pair.
Yes all of them hence the title🤣🤣
Hammer Time1
Yay!
Awesome work Steve. Quick question: is there a standard stitch length so you hit the same holes or do you have to set that each time you stitch on the soles?
Brands vary. Its callled the SPI(stitch per inch) and you need to adjust the machines to hit them right

Part 2 Steve
Working on it
Steve, a while back I sent you an olfa knife, did you ever try it? I had it delivered to your address from amazon. I use them all the time and love em, never seen you use it?
Of course I use it, it’s on my bench most of the time. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE YOU
Perfektná práca, koľko by ma stála taká oprava? Ďakujem za odpoveď 👍🍺
I think that job was $485
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC Ďakujem veľmi pekne za odpoveď a prajem veľa zdravia a úspechov pri Tvojom krásnm remesle. S pozdravom Silvester Morgos 👍🍺
Also, I see a grant stone box in the background in the beginning of the video 👀. Possible video coming for those?
No those are my boots. Not ready for resoling. They’re the blue suede
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC ahhh the midnight suede Ottawa boots! Nice!
hello stève I wanted to know which thinner to use to effectively clean the glue thx
The master thinner
Great job! What is the name of the machine for fixing the eyelets? Where did you obtain it? Thanks
What happened to the part 2 of the other indy video?
I’m working on it, it became a bigger project
