You won’t believe your eyes how well these turned out. Complete transformation. Alden Horsebit Loafer #alden #aldenshoes #transformation #shoerepair #restoration
The owner of these shoes is going to be thrilled. Contrary to what you predicted, these look better and are much better than new. He must have been a great boss to have some one think of him in this way. I really like to special projects that you do.
Thought the same thing as well. Either a surprise 'thank you' for being an extraordinary boss/mentor or the most ingratiating thing I've ever witnessed. Beautiful restoration and hopefully as beautiful of a gesture - depending on rhyme and reason.
You’re an artist sir! Imagine having your very favourite pair of shoes, which you’ve worn to death, because you like them so much, given a whole new lease of life, as though they were new. Everyone’s dream!
Things I like about Bedo's leatherwork videos: - Stitches being cut with a knife of unknown sharpness - Shaky hands that look like they're about to make a mistake but somehow don't - Steve 😁
I'll add on: - sharpening his razor blades for the extra "bite" - running out of thread / dropping things on cue - coffee time / hammer time / high-pitched comment rants / story time. - and closeup shots of stitching whatnot. Makes you feel like you're there with him. Storytime is the best imo.
4:45 mark - Rose Anvil's gripe about Alden was simply about the Indy boots being overpriced for the type of construction/materials used. This also highlights why amazing folks like yourself are so extremely valuable. Been watching you for years now, and both your work and choice of materials are always better than from the brand itself.
the irony is that that the indy's are Steve's favourite boots. Wish Alden would step up their game, or companies like Grant Stone will eat their lunch.
Severely overpriced for the quality on the most basic Indy boot he cut apart. They certainly make some nicer shoes but for a basic boot it's quite sad. Very appropriate criticism from a dude who has cut open many boots.
Comfort sometimes is more important than build quality. Going to be hard to find a more comfortable boot than the Indy. Not arguing though. I think they are far to expensive for the material used. I've been trying to find some on the secondary market to send to Steve for a rebuild. No luck so far. It is tough finding the Indy in wide sizing.
@@amanasd26 I would love for GS to push Alden into making leather heels and structural parts. It might happen in the future - once that fire of gets hot enough. I'd expect an Indy boot contender need something more beautiful than the Indy boot to be a serious competitor and GS models are nowhere close to any of Aldens signature designs, unfortunately. The design on GS models is far from what I'd like to see, for it to make significant impact on potential Indy/Alden customers. The Indy boot is just too beautiful and GS has a long way to go to get closer to Alden in the design-apartment of shoemaking. Very long ways.
Come on now Steve your killing me with this one ❤ this isn’t the work of a normal cobbler or a master cobbler this is the work of an Artisan truly amazing and at $600 the owner got a bargain thanks Steve 😊
Look someone has to say it...and I am actually proud to be me....Steve the owner form Bedo's Leatherwork is as of now the best and number 1 Shoe repair in the world. Do you you agree?????
Being in the show making business family for over 55yrs this is an absolute education of how to master your craft saying perfection on these house is an understatement.It’s sad to think that once you decide to retire there is no one willing work with a sweating brow or glue stained hands for such a masterpiece enjoyed every second of this video Well done Sir.
Amazing Steveroo as usual, beyond belief really.... Your'e going to blow that guys mind.... Also, watch Trenton and Heath and those guys are great....! They know who the Master is too...! P.S. I had already watched the Rose Anvil video and yes he did tear Alden a new one.... I agree though, Alden's like the Indy boots are way overpriced...GG
You are without question a master craftsmen AND magician to have resurrected these shoes. You have phenomenal talent. My jaw is still on the floor! Stunning!
Holy moley Steve…..chalk and cheese springs to mind when looking at before and after images. The customer should be delighted with the result. Another example of a true craftsman. Shine on Steve
Steve, I am completely overwhelmed at the amount of detail and hard work you put on your restorations. I felt it in my stomach when you said it was a $600 job, but watching every step I can realize that is worth every penny. I’ll keep sending people to you as much as I can. Amazing work.
Steve, you have the shakiest, most magical hands I think I've ever seen. You do great work! Poetry in motion. Bye the way, thanks for doing such a great job on my boots!
I gotta say Steve, this may well be one of the best jobs I've watched you do so far. Great job!!... I'd love to see the owners face when he sees his "new" shoes

I thought the same. He must've been a really good boss to work under.

Hope he didn't want a Patina look but the restoration is beautiful
@@waterhead1359 I think they were a bit beyond patina. Unbearable would be the more likely description ...

One of your best restoration / upgrade projects.
This project should be called, ‘Lazarus’ !
Better than new one. Cool. Amazing. Professional.
This is about as close as a shoe restoration can get to turning water into wine! Stunning transformation, Steve.
Steve continues to work his magic. Fantastic work!!!!

I like when he does Louis Vuitton repairs and says "LOU' VUITTO'"
Beautiful Re craftsmanship!
Tremendous Transformation.
A true master craftsman. Let's continue 😁
You are the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Really wonderful revival work.
Wow, what a change, amazing transformation. Great work, enjoyed the video. Aloha

Yup, considering the materials that they used, it should be more of a $400 boot.

CHILDREN ITS AMAZING MY MOM WAS A KNOW IT ALL CLOTHESE COOKING ME IT WAS RESTORATION OF CARS MOTORCYCLES GUNS BUT YOUR ARTESTRY IS MAGNIFICENT
Must be a pretty awesome boss for the employees to do this for him
Steve, you are a miracle worker! 👍
I needed to see the look on his bosses face, that was one hell of a transformation.
Holy moley Steve…..chalk and cheese springs to mind when looking at before and after images. The customer should be delighted with the result. Another example of a true craftsman. Shine on Steve
You true craftsman and funny man!
Excelente trabajo, felicitaciones 👏.
You are a plastic surgeon for shoes! Beautiful job
Steve, I am completely overwhelmed at the amount of detail and hard work you put on your restorations. I felt it in my stomach when you said it was a $600 job, but watching every step I can realize that is worth every penny. I’ll keep sending people to you as much as I can. Amazing work.
I used to gasp at his prices, but now I'm planning on sending him a few pairs after saving up. My feet will be blessed by his hands so to speak.
And here I thought 600 was a pretty fair price for the amount of work that went into it.
And for $600, it's now better constructed than the original shoe that was probably $600. Alden! 👍🏼
You are a true artist Steve !! Fantastic restoration !!!
If you didn't do such amazing work you wouldn't have to worry about being so much in demand. Your work on these shoes is close to miraculous. 😱
Wow, just wow!
Amazing work. This is what I’m looking to get done
Amazing as always, you should call yourself a shoe redeemer Sir 👍❤️
MIROSLAVA! TSCHEHIEN (CESKA) SLOVAKIA,UKRAINA? HALLO FROM CROATIA
Master at work
Man…that is what I call turning a pauper into a prince! Kudos, dude.
Steve, you never fail to amaze me with your knowledge and talent!
Those shoes went from looking like they were ready for the dust bin to looking almost new.
Always a treat to see the shoes come out way better than when they left the factory originally.
Great job!!!
Just Amazing work !
Awesome work
Another awesome job ... Thx ...
This is just insane. I don't even know how this is possible.
That is incredible. What a work of art
Fabulous workmanship not often seen today. You take such care of the projects sent to you and it tells in the finished item.
Amazing job Steve. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful work sir.
Just beauty!
What a transformation Steve! I'd say they are better then new!🔨⏲🤣
Remarkable, unbelievable, awesome, magnificent !!!!!!
Let's continue 👍
You are an AMAZING artist Steve! You are definitely a Master craftsman and as far as I'm concerned, the best in the nation!!
That was superb
What a re-craft!!! Nice work Steve! Be Safe
Steve, you have the shakiest, most magical hands I think I've ever seen. You do great work! Poetry in motion. Bye the way, thanks for doing such a great job on my boots!
When you are getting overwhelmed with too much work, thats when you know your not charging enough. That keeps it balanced and reasonable, for you.
I gotta say Steve, this may well be one of the best jobs I've watched you do so far. Great job!!... I'd love to see the owners face when he sees his "new" shoes
Your are an artist before a cobbler and a cobbler before an artist. The real deal!!! I seriously get excited every time I see the results.
