Love this British Gentleman and his advice, I've been watching this for a while and also love the mic scratching sounds (and I'm happy that the shop seems to exist, still). By the way I've recently created an audiobook version of my free book, it took me a while so I'd be happy if you checked it out: findcalm.com/book
Just want to say I really look forward to reading your weekly newsletter on a Sunday evening. You speak about each topic beautifully and from the heart and your words I'm sure are appreciated by many.
Hopefully the firm survives Brexit...
@@5mnz7fg why wouldn't it survive Brexit....
@@themonkeypad They get their leather mainly from the continent the gentleman says. Thus, they may have to pay import duty after a final no deal brexit.
Unrelated to the video, I just found this super nice unintentional ASMR video of a guy preparing guacamole. I don't know if you have a way for subscribers to send you videos, but if you checked this out, it would be very cool for the channel.

There is nothing better that listening to passionate experts in their trade.
There is also nothing better than listening to the sweet sound of moulten hot liquid McFlurry escaping with volcanic force from my rectal cavity at 5am whilst watching a man talk about shoes. Life is good.
Agreed

When you have some money, two of the most important things to invest in are a good mattress and a good pair of shoes, because if you're not in one you're in the other.
@@danbrown141 You do more than work in shoes...
@@danbrown141 you go outside barefoot?
i don't wear shoes at home but i see what you're saying
And good pillows!
@@wayward4657 you do more than sleep in a mattress......
In retrospect I'd experience ASMR as a child listening to older people talk about things they were passionate about.
Me too! It was a peaceful feeling that was part physical, part mental. I find trouble re-experiencing it with so-called ASMR videos unfortunately.
me too. I'd also get ASMR when people were looking at and handling things carefully and quietly.
Ya know, maybe there’s something to that
My grandmother in Spain was telling me stories of her life and I could barely keep my eyes open even though I was fascinated. Now I know why and I wish I could have explained while she was alive...
You also had like “brain shivers?”
9:03 - “When you’ve got over the cost of anything that you purchase, the joy of using it goes on.”
I don’t understand…would someone explain what does that means?? Sorry, English is not my first language
@@thecoachingengineer Meaning that once you’re no longer bothered that you spent the money, you’re free to enjoy the product. 🙂
@@zachb4623 Ok, makes sense. If you are paying attention to how expensive the item was, then you are not paying attention to the item itself. Awesome, thank you so much Zach! Much appreciated.
My ex-wife wouldn't agree...
JK, she's my wife actually...
@@sammyrockywelly In all fairness, cheap shit is expensive. You end up wasting loads of money replacing cheap tat where a pricier, good quality item would've lasted. Of course once you pass a certain price point it stops being about quality and becomes about prestige.
I loved how the only time he slipped up was mentioning the web address, this guy is a dying breed unfortunately.....
Slipped up, good pun 🤣
The Greatest Generation.
I looked them up, prices are actually pretty reasonable considering the bespoke vibes here.
I miss the British Doc Martens that lasted 16+ years with care
I disagree on the dying breed comment. There are many business owners who are passionate about their products. You just don't always see them on a RUclips video.
@@jarednil69 I meant more the man and his mannerisms, English gentleman
This guy should be narrating documentaries
He should describe the various meals available at mcdonalds so I can make a more educated purchase
legalize drunk driving "here you have a chocolate milkshake which is my absolute favorite, most people prefer the strawberry variety ". "This month you have the option of the McRib which I think is an exquisite choice"
Documentaries about WW2
tgheres certain david attenborough vibe bout him
I'm a former salesman and this gentleman just sold me at least 4 pair of shoes with this video. :D
Because he is so passionate
I want to buy from him too now
It's great that stores like this still exist, it almost a lost art.
Yes, replaced by cheap, short-lived materials assembled by slave labor all for a lower pricetag.
It's not a lost art at all. Shoes like this were always reserved for the wealthy and were always on a small, specialist scale. Most people wore absolute crap before the 1940s and if anything cheap manufacturing has opened the market to people with lower incomes. The fact that many people choose to buy absolute rubbish that falls apart in a few wears is neither here nor there. They are to essentially be ignored by the middle to upper price ranges in the market.
yep
The part where he refers to bespoke shoes made in the St. James section of London, those are even more of a lost art. Places like John Lobb in London have bespoke shoes that START at $8,000, and that's for their cheapest bespoke shoe, and before the 20% VAT is added.
@@L.C.Sweeney absolutely fugking not true stupid
Before the 70s Before your generation made everything outsourced asf, everything Before was made in America and there were leather boot makes and cobblers everywhere
Ans brought the price down, if it was the same today boots like high end nicks would be 100 bucks and 1usd to resole
And it's always been thay way, way back for thousands of years when came to footwear
Fast fashion ruins this
I had an argument with a leather shoe salesman in Camden, London once. Zero tingles during that exchange.
underrated comment
Tell me
Dude you’re YT account is 14 years old jfc
@@Asmrcritic587 oh yeah I'm old school. There's an indoor market in Camden and this Italian cobbler had some nice looking shoes for sale so I picked one up for a look and he came flying over, pulling the shoe out of my hand and shouted "No buy no touch!" so I said how would I know they were well made if I can't touch them and the guy erupted. I didn't buy the shoes which I still regret. They were nice shoes.
@@jstra man that sucks but if you bought those shoes the cobbler would’ve won
This British Salesman is all class and all skill. So nice to hear both an artisan (Cordwainer) and a salesman weave together his skills and knowledge. Note that he is directing the young man into the best type of shoe for him not just out of trying to sell him a more expensive shoe but trying to sell him the shoe that is right for him. That is the mark of a true Professional.
I can only imagine what the inside of that shop smells like. Must be heaven
Great to see Martin still in the business. Having worked alongside him on many occasions. A gentleman in every way. Keep it going.
Has he ever spent time in Australia? I feel like I'm picking up a slight Aussie twang in his accent, as though he was originally Australian-born or spent a period of time living in Australia. Beautiful voice regardless.
@@nataliekmaguire not that I’m aware of.
@@nataliekmaguire - I beg to differ, for better or worse - nothing Australian there.
This is how I learn about random things. 1AM on a Thursday, learning about dress shoes.
Same, 1AM thursday 😅
You seem cool :3
man wtf me too. except its friday at 1am. its just been thursday. thursday literally just ended. im really high
Same. 11pm thursday
I love how the old people speak English.. They are so organized when speaking and so calming.
Except for Joseph Potato Brain Biden 🥔
It comes with age
@@benfolds17 Trump needs two hands to drink water.
@@crazyalbedo haha...yeah that was funny that time he held the water bottle like that 😂
@@crazyalbedobut he ran the country great. He could use 3 hands for water and i wouldn’t care as long as he kept kicking ass as president
This guy could sell me water from my own fridge.
Despite the fact that a pair of shoes from them is about the same price I usually pay for a second hand car, firms like this represent a portion of old England there isn't much left of and this man is a blessing. Long may it continue
"Well, I can get that 2006 Toyota or a pair of shoes. Hmmmm. Let me see that Darby one more time, I do have a high arch . . . "
@@phaedrussmith1949 lmao
Absolutely! We need more examples of class and good manners in this world which is becoming cheaper and meaner every day.
I’m a podiatrist my job would be much easier if shoe shops had more people like this working for them
Agreed, but then this gentleman has been professionally trained, in depth; your average shoe shop company has no concept to the anatomy of the foot; unfortunately, this is where artisanry meets cheap commercial rubbish.
… or less patients. 😅
I found this video to be quite fitting, I do say!
This gentleman knows how to sell a pair of high quality shoes!
LOL
Not to disagree about his salesmanship, but I get the impression that his customers have decided to buy before they step in the shop. I'm sure they are extravagantly expensive and one doesn't even enter the shop unless he intends to buy right there.
@@SmartAlx , think you are right about that. His clients dont look at the price tag 😉
SO refreshing to see someone who actually gives a shit about something and knows what they're talking about...
"The customer will say, 'Oh, are they my shoes?' And you can say, 'Yes they are... It's a wonderful feeling, wonderful feeling"
With so much cynism out there these days, that really made my day.
Seriously incredible salesman, got me interested in leather shows which is quite an accomplishment
This is fantastic! Learned alot, and enjoyed seeing how delighted he is to share his knowledge.
Al Bundy could learn a thing or two from this gentleman.
I was thinking about Al Bundy too!!
😆
I NEED SHOES.
A fat woman came into the shoe store today...
How dare you say that to my face!
I'd say it behind your back, but my car only has half a tank of gas!!!
@@Mr_Chris77
🤣🤣🤣
I wish I could find this type of quality in my leather gimp costumes, the crotch is always threadbare by Thanksgiving.
excuse me what
laughed out loud at this one, thanks xD
I miss the good old days when a shoe salesman measured your foot and slipped on your shoe😥
That used to give me amazing asmr as a kid 🤤🤤
got them tingles yk
What was the machine they used to put your foot in ?
Holy crap another one!
@@Markybug-Keira-Cody brannock device
Just lovely, he is such an elegant Gentleman, so well spoken, even his hand gestures showing the shoe details, are like a choreographed dance. I could listen to him all day long!
Having worked for Church’s English Shoes in the states, this man is a masterclass. I miss the shop and the presence, as I think the tradition is rich and worth learning about. Beautiful stuff.
Hello im looking for navy shoes for war
That's a niche comment there! Fantastic! 🤣
@@howardasternfan lets hope he can establish the best way to establish the perfect fitting
The Navy sorts everything out for you
Oh my god you didn't
Established drop six
I find the way he moves his hands while he's "selling" to be absolutely fascinating. It's a perfect companion to his talking points and is such an old school method of movement etc.
I'm convinced that the person's actions and motions are a huge part of ASMR
I’ve had a pair of cheaney boots for 8 years and they still look beautiful. Really great craftsmanship
I sometimes think of how many cheap shoes/boots were not discarded into a landfill.
Because of this video, I'm planning to buy shoes like this. They're beautiful.
“…if you really want the business end of a walking shoe.” 😂 Inviting yet subtly threatening-a consummate salesman.
I like the part around the 8:00 minute mark when he talks about how it's cheaper to send in old shoes for refurbishing than buying new ones, and how much he loves to present said shoes to customers
The problem is you need two pairs of these/any dress shoes to utilize this feature. Assuming you wear them daily for work etc.
The Gentleman passion filled the room
This is a masterclass not just in shoe sales, but in sales period. Professional, informative, passionate and knowledgeable.
nothing beats classic craftsmanship, beautiful and built to last, design engineered over generations of time and embedded with soul, possessions that become a part of your life journey and age with you...
A pair of Cheaney shoes cost around £400 in London. That's around $520.
They'll last a lifetime, unlike a $1200 Apple phone.
Life is simple. If you can't afford them, or don't want them ..... don't buy them.
Or you can buy other brands that will last just as long for way cheaper. Trust me
@@villan81 could say the same for Iphones. You can buy ceaper that will probably last longer considering how utter shit Apple is for what you pay. At least with Cheaney, you get what you pay for.
@@jasonmcleod8914 I don’t doubt that mate. I could give you other shoe brands that last just as long 👍🏻
So you compare a shoe to a phone? What kind of logic is this
I love the British People. In London, it makes no difference what you are looking for be it shoes, clothing, personal grooming items, the quality, knowledge, and the test of time are very apparent in each shop. I live in the United States but, I order many items from London, England because of the quality., it is unsurpassed in the World, in my humble opinion.
This man is an absolute treasure. Bless him for his informative, direct but also kind and embracing delivery. This got me excited about dress shoes.
Not gonna lie, this shoe salesman is more classy than the presidents of certain countries.
Unlike your comment.
You are welcome
Or prime ministers of another
If I went into a shoe shop and got this level of customer service, I wouldn't even ask how much they will cost!
For those who don’t know, these shoes go for around 400£
Sales people have always been my second favorite asmr, first is one of my children playing hair dresser on my hair. These English chap gave me great tingles
Exact same for me, except for with my kids instead of yours
But what time does he need to get back to Wayne Manor?
Very important question, I was wondering that as well. Had no idea he specialized in good quality shoes in the meantime
Having worked both in Harrods when I was much younger, I used to love the quality of British shoe makers. Whether it was Church’ Barkers , Grenson or Cheaney they all had that very distinctive mark of quality. It was wonderful seeing the experience and knowledge oozing from this salesman, who you could just tell had great respect for the product, and who you just knew you could trust implicitly.
I really had no idea there was that much to shoes!
Yeah it can be a dangerous (expensive) obsession. I got really into shoes a while back, and once you get a pair of nicely made shoes, it's very hard to accept anything less.
Me neither. However, most things have a deeper level of knowledge and know how that separates the laymen from the experts. I'm from the Philippines, the home of Imelda Marcos'. 😂🇵🇭 Never really understood why she wanted to collect so many damn shoes, but seeing this can sort of see the appeal now. It's like therapy. 😂👠👞
That’s why cobbling was once a fundamental craft trade requiring apprenticeship.
The gentleman seems like a long lost brother of David and Richard Attenborough.
With such a good narration, I can buy all the pairs.
I keep expecting him to say “Master Wayne” after each sentence.
This gentleman is like the David Attenborough of the shoe industry
I suspect these shoes cost a lot less than ones made by Lobb. They look fine quality and the company is courteous, without being obsequious. I'll see if they sell to Australia. I might just treat myself to one of their products.
So this doesnt give me ASMR BUT i could never be so rude as to not listen to this elder gentleman in an area of clear expertise. Watched the whole thing and learned a few things. Thanks to this man and his pride in his shoes 😁
"I'm looking for a navy shoe for war"
Real ones know
It has been Established by length
@@joshpascual7539 lemph*
fight fight fight
A bit
Damn, he is very good. Wonderful salesman, he is proud of his wares and has the experience to fit you to the best shoe for you. He explains the quality and construction and helps you appreciate what you have purchased. Very traditional and appreciated.
I watched this wanting to experience some ASMR. Now I just want one of these shoes!!!
Just one?
It's 8:30am I haven't slept yet why am I watching a shoe salesman
I got a serious soft spot for someone who really knows thier stuff. Specially a very tactile thing like shoe making too. I already like to listen, but when it's explained so calmly, quietly, but competently... Tingles.
Lol. Came for the asmr, stayed for the "London waist" and "rambler rubber sole"
As a former salesman I wished I could have watched this video over 20 years ago. I learned more about customer service and sales skills than I did from all the training courses I went on put together.
Wow. This is a rare thing to witness these days. You would never experience this calibre of service at footlocker. I would generously tip this man for the experience alone.
Cheaney shoes are exquisitely made, they would literally last you a lifetime.
These shoes look awesome. I checked out their prices and holy cow...
What a gentleman. I would leave broke and feel good about it.
Shoes for the price of a small car.
😂😂😂 Facts
RP English by older gentleman is great for asmr vibes.
Being British I love a good command of English he has good grasp
For those confused by multi-culturalism and mass immigration, this is an Englishman..
I could watch this a thousand times and not tire of its content, a wonderfully knowledgeable gentleman providing an outstanding customer experience.
Chelsea boot for the win
@9:01 Witness an absolute master. What a great salesman line.
i love the phrase 'your toes will look after themselves', it's way classier than saying 'your toes wont hurt'
This gentleman knows his products!
It seems some of the magic is that you have a man who is pretty successful and important within his company who can still pull off the front-line salesman feel. I have no idea about his character. He could be a stand-up guy or a genuine arsehole, but he pulls off the shoe salesman act with panache.
All the Beatles chose rubber sole.
"When you've got over the cost of anything that you've purchased, the joy of using it goes on." -- Norman Copperwaite
My grandfather taught me the HUGE difference between buying quality and overpaying for crap. Quality wins EVERY TIME and well worth it! This gentleman is a tribute to his profession.
Excellent presentation and no Asmr effects because i was actually interested in what he was explaining, which is the "science" of classical shoes. Also, for us Yanks, he was very easy to understand as he did not have a harsh Brit accent, making it better to appreciate.
I’m watching from the United States… looking to order my 1st pair!! 😻❤️❤️
Absolutely love gentleman like this, true craftsmen and a real treasure.
Gorgeous shoes, beautifully presented.
I could listen to this gentleman for hours and never get tired of it. Not only he has a soothing voice, but the topic is absolutely fascinating.
1:44 I think people outside of the leather shoe industry have been well aware of the benefits of the rubber sole
BRB - flying to london to buy a pair of shoes from this gentlemen.
This gentleman is a class act in the showroom.
I've been fortunate to meet Martin Grey at the opening of the Cheaney shop in Jermyn St, London. A knowledgeable and very nice man, and he's still very involved working at the Head Office in Northamptonshire. Needless to say , I wear Cheaney shoes ever since I bought my first pair 20 years ago. Its a joy to wear them.
I came here for the asmr with zero interest in leather shoes and left wanting a pair of those country cleated sole shoes. What a salesman.
The Bob Ross of shoes expertise 😴
Que gran clase la del sir, un placer escucharlo y verlo trabajar.
What a lovely gentleman. He makes me proud to be British :)
The main reason I find this calming is because of the professionalism. I don't understand the majority of stuff he's saying, and it knocks me out.
The imperial shoe he showed was nice. We can't find good quality shoes here in the US like they can in England. All of our stuff is from overseas.
Thank god for the internet my friend 😉 although you’d be gutted if you thought the size you ordered was going to fit, and after trying on it didn’t
Nicks handmade boots
This guys never steps in gum
If all salesmen were like Martin, the world would be a better place
Never be embarrassed watching thee of someone walks in on you
Quality, quality, quality. I miss it so much.
what a true, proud salesman...awesome
Any interview with Jimi Hendrix could be a good unintentional ASMR choice. His voice and manner of speech was very soothing and calming.
The recordings would probably be crappy though
@@johnv6806 Not necessarily.
(fitting reply as he often said that during interviews).
I love these kinds of shoes and my father loves them too! Very durable and good quality. Would literally last for very long years.
I own 3 pairs of Cheaney. They're an absolute bargain.
