Hope you're all well everybody, sorry I've been a bit quite it's been extremely busy recently! 10 points for the first comment on how to pronounce louboutins ;) Also once again ... let me know who would be interested in a second Vlog style channel!
Why does Louboutin not put red rubber soles on their shoes from the start? Are they really saving that much by just putting on some paint that will wear off and leave the customer dissatisfied?
Hi Dan, it was great to see my wife's collection ( and mine ) being restored so beautifully, you should of heard her scream when you started with the belt sander, it was funny, i cant wait to see them on Saturday, to all the viewer's out there, this guy is so good, i drove nearly 2 hours to get them done, and it was purely because of his professional videos, Dan thankyou, they look so good
My pleasure LLoyd and thanks for the kind comment! I think you knew I didn’t plan on a video but I couldn’t resist once I started getting all the red soles out!
@@Dan_the_cobbler i couldn't believe you did that video, its so cool, Claire couldn't watch she was literally crying :) until the end and then she smiled, she said you can do the rest of her collection :) literally the quality of your videos and how it shows your true craftsman ship is why we came, you really are a different level of cobbler !! i am addicted you to your videos :)
The guy has extremely steady hand. Trimming the edge of a shoe soul freehand and never scratching the shoe itself and then painting the edge freehand as well is not easy at all! Great job and interesting videos! Best wishes from the USA!
This is a woman’s dream honestly is to have a dedicated artist like you taking care of our shoes, protect and look after them properly from the time of purchase! 😊😊❤
I can't believe I am watching a bloke repairing shoes - not exactly the first time either lol. Amazing attention to detail and it's brilliant seeing the work that goes into normal jobs - as well as the special ones like these (the "day in the life" video with normal day to day stuff was great too). Well done on taking a course to boost your knowledge - as an IT geek with over 30 years experience, I can say that you never stop learning :) I reckon you are right about the other vlog idea - might be too much for one person. clearly what you are doing now works well, so don't spread yourself any thinner :)
Wow, I've only watched a couple of Dan's videos (RUclips has figured out I like fixing things) but his honesty about burnout and the straightforward way he talked about it was not something I was expecting. Respect for Dan.
It fascinates me how many aspects of this job parallel so many other jobs on a different scale. These skill can also be applied to auto body work, woodworking, carpet installation and so many other things. As a do-it-yourselfer, I appreciate your attention to detail and great work. Continued success from Pennsylvania, USA!
Man!! I was starting to worry that you weren’t making any more videos. I realize that’s a lot of work, so thank you, i love watching your videos. I wish you all the best.
We have a Timpsons in my town. Whenever I walk past (which is quite often) I’ve only ever seen the guy with his feet up playing on his phone! I guess quality and attention to detail brings the work in Dan 👍
I have a local Timpson. I took one of my pair of louboutins to be repaired. He did an ok job, but not good enough to fool the _real_ Louboutin cobblers. “We didn’t fix these” was the spoiler. That’s why I’ve sent my loub boots to be attend to by Dan.
Coming from a tradesman in a totally different industry, the craftmanship/skill and care you take in your profession is truly inspiring. Almost makes me want to shift careers and learn another trade at 41yo. A new subscriber here mate.
A fine vid Dan. I cannot help but notice that Ron was supervising almost from the start. He has that bill in everything! You are amazing and I will definitely watch any subjects that you come up with for other channels as well. Thank you Dan.
DAN! i have been so stressed with work lately, havent been able to catch your videos, i just realized how much they help me relax and wind down. I am not a cobbler, nor do i have any of those tools, but watching these vids really helps clear my cache. I appreciate your hard work man! thank u
Avoiding burnout is a big deal these days, I had a bad one in 2015 and again in 2021. Also its so good to hear you're busy with lots of work and customers. Things are pretty bad here in Canada, and things like cobblers, restaurants, specialty shops, etc etc (small business's in general) are closing at an alarming rate. Continued success Dan, and all the best from Canada.
This hit me hard. In canada, we are watching our country go towards failed state status. I’m really worried, because things seem like they’re going to get much worse before they get better.
@@bentolinmaddox9806 True all the old baby boomers are dying off and all of us younger generations have chosen not to take up these trades. I just bought a walking foot industrial sewing machine from an older lady that was moving into assisted living. Gonna keep it around for my own use. Your right though Canada is going to shit.
This was a big order of shoes for one customer & they all came out nicely 👌 I was unaware that heel tips were sanded down, I always thought the tips came in different sizes.
Great workmanship and video Dan. You must feel so proud of yourself walking into your shop each day knowing that it is yours. If feel proud for you. Love it!!
This was epic! Watching you work on all manners of foot wear is like listening to motivational music in the gym while I clean and take care of my regular work shoes and I've even learned a lot more about leather care and polishes 🙂 and I thought I was pretty much a pro with Kiwi polish 😅 You've really helped me level up my "shoe game" 😎
I think I need to bring my Louboutins to you! I have two pairs that need some TLC and I've been looking for a great shoe repairer. Looks like I've found one! You are an artist, these shoes look amazing!
Hey Dan! I'm one of the new viewers! I've been watching maybe a week or so and I love your content. Didn't know skilled shoe repair could be so fun to watch lol
Love seeing people who went and got a trade and became the best at what they do and recognised the value of honest work. Could watch this all day long rather than crypto BS
your work is amazing. never watched this line of work being excuted and as a lover of various professions, yours is so entertaning. amazing job and care, hope great success on your future.
idk why this was in my recommendations but i'm glad it was, i enjoyed it! you should get into contact with Tom Scott's team, he loves trying new things and on his Plus channel he learns a new skill per video - i think cobbling/restoration would be a great match for him and his format, and you come across well on camera! his channel lead me to florian gadsby, james hoffman, beardyman, and so many other interesting creators. i think he'd be a huge boost of exposure for you too! 💕
Ghost puts on one hell of a show. Papa Nihil is the GOAT! All music aside though, the repair work on these shoes is spectacular. Even the worn in ones look new
Mad jealous to be a man and not get to wear such banging shoes. You did an incredible job on the shoes! Originally thought the new sole would look way off to the original red but you can't really tell in the end it just looks amazing overall. True craftsmanship!
Wow, 7,000 GBP? Says a lot about you that the customer trusted you with the shoes. Excellent job, done well. Good to see another video from you. If it ever feels like a burden or a chore, that would suggest that you’re doing too much. One thing I like about your videos is your enthusiasm, I’d hate to see that go. Still staggered about the price of those shoes though!
I like the extra step you wanted to take to toughen the surface up even more because it shows your work ethic HOWEVER I do agree that it’s unnecessary because it’s actually just taking lifespan off the soles by thinning in down even more when roughing the surface up. Great video btw!
Wasn't expecting to hear you sing a line from Life Eternal or Kiss The Go Goat but hey, here we are! I saw Ghost in Machester earlier this year at the start of their UK/EU Tour - AMAZING show!
Dan, you need to have custom tailored shirts. Those don't fit you 😅. Christian Louboutin shoes are made to walk on "red-carpet", not any other surfaces, aren't they? Dan's hands made them new again. Great job!
Hi Dan. I remember back when you did a video where you put a protective coating on some Bambi stilettos to keep the paint from wearing off. Do you do the same thing with some of the beautiful artwork you do on some of the soles you paint to protect them ? Also have a Happy Easter. Cheers.🙂🐰🐥
This channel pretty much has everything I’m looking for. Craftsmanship, shoes, artisan, attention to detail, fashion, a gorgeous cobbler…I would have watched this even if the cobbler wasn’t hot. But since the cobbler is hot I’ve watched and also subscribed. Guys! This channel is a feast for the female eyes. 😁
Louboutin literally went out and bought some cheap heels and used nail varnish to paint the bottoms and sold them for extortionate prices to women. What a legend
Because the price pays for the brand and its signature red paint. Louboutin just got the idea from seeing an assistant's red nail polish. He now sells that red nail polish for $50 a tiny bottle. I love Dan and his work, but heck, if anyone wanted an authentic repair, just buy a bottle of the nail polish and paint the sole yourself.
@@sporksoffury didnt know about that, thank you for sharing, nonethless, could have evolved from that keeping the trademark with a more long lasting solution but I believe I see your point, buying the broken feature on the shoes is part of the brand glamour.... I can imagine though ladies on going to the beauty parlour saying "I am here to do my nails and my shoes :)"
I love watching you repair shoes, it's a shame you get bad Comments but like you say if no one likes it don't watch them and keep your comments to your self. This man his the real deal and we love to watch him doing what he does best 👍👏❤
priorities straight! great video, yes it does seem like you have a chilled life, it's good you also describe what its really like to have a business and and youtube channel on top it's a lot. keep doing what you love. so nice to see good quality workmanship
Looking forward to the 200k special 🤗 I’m so happy for you Dan. It’s been so nice to see you go from a couple thousand subs to this. You’re a super nice guy with great skills and work ethic. It’s awesome when good people get recognition. 👏👏👏👌
Love watching your videos. You not only make me want to get some quality shoes for the reparability, but you also have a fantastic disposition and great personality. Always a fun watch, thanks!

No apologies needed 😊😊 Always good to see a new Dan video
louh-boo-teen? lol. I kept wondering what happened to you, but I guess life just hits us hard huh. Stay safe and keep on going my man.
awesome video. I'm not a shoe guy but I'm french and the way you say it sounds perfect to me.
Why does Louboutin not put red rubber soles on their shoes from the start? Are they really saving that much by just putting on some paint that will wear off and leave the customer dissatisfied?
I would love to see another channel from you Dan, but think about the toll on you ...take care of yourself man... 😎

“I’m just one man with two pairs of hands” - I knew you had a special talent!! 😉
I like how you included part of your daily routine in this video, like the parking issue, getting lunch, etc. Great work.

At least she's wearing her shoes/using them. And they're not just sitting in the closet all the time.
I would like to see her wearing them... :p

Hahaha like it 🤣😁
So true

Avoiding burnout avoids having an over saturated channel. Improves content quality. That’s a win/win for both of us😎🤙

dang that back scratcher shoe horn is genius. should be a household staple
Who would have though there’d be crowds of us,watching this handsome gent repairing shoes,and bringing them back to a new life!!
Man!! I was starting to worry that you weren’t making any more videos. I realize that’s a lot of work, so thank you, i love watching your videos. I wish you all the best.
I’ll always be here just bay disappear sometimes haha
Mate if my cobbler was as charismatic as you are I'd damage my shoes on purpose to send them in every week. Subscribed!

good to see someone doing what they love. master of your craft!
This aint no Timpsons, lol. You are incredibly skilled, mighty impressive work, no wonder your clients trust you with their high end footwear!
A fine vid Dan. I cannot help but notice that Ron was supervising almost from the start. He has that bill in everything! You are amazing and I will definitely watch any subjects that you come up with for other channels as well. Thank you Dan.
Out partying until 4am...OK that explains the huuuge Monster energy drink on the counter. 😆👍
6:16 AM ❤
Always nice to see you using your crafts on something as difficult as patent Loub's. Easily my fav jobs on the channel keep them coming.

@@seap9570 Its the case with most western countries. Everyone got complacent buying cheap throwaway stuff from overseas instead
Wow . ❤ magnificent work ❤❤ cheers from Las Vegas ❤❤
This was a big order of shoes for one customer & they all came out nicely 👌 I was unaware that heel tips were sanded down, I always thought the tips came in different sizes.
Always a pleasure watching a master of their craft at work regardless of what they specialise in.
Nice way to start a Saturday morning. Coffee and A great shoe repair video! Enjoy your weekend!
You really did a good Job. New subscriber here from California
Gezzzz Louise … You’re absolutely stunning! I didn’t even see the shoes 🤣
I know right. Nobody is looking at the shoes here.
6:04 was the coolest noise I've ever heard
i don’t own any fancy or dress type shoes yet i keep watching this channel cus it’s entertaining
Great workmanship and video Dan. You must feel so proud of yourself walking into your shop each day knowing that it is yours. If feel proud for you. Love it!!
Amazing work, enjoyed every part! I like your "smart and easy" style!
You are the BEST!!!

GOLDEN HANDS! BEAUTIFUL SMILE! BEAUTIFUL PERSON!
I am extremely surprised by the price! Amazing job Dan !
Great Video, as allways, keep it up!
The new shoes look amazing, can't believe people said you were murdering them .. you're an artist
Hello from Texas. I love your videos along with Trenton and Heath. I think all three of you do exceptional work.
I think I need to bring my Louboutins to you! I have two pairs that need some TLC and I've been looking for a great shoe repairer. Looks like I've found one! You are an artist, these shoes look amazing!
I don't care about the shoes I watched because I got lost in Dan's smile.
Dan once again a superb job this customer is going to be very happy how they turned out ! Great video as always keep up the good work 👍
Dan, Dan the shoe man and a stunner
Handsome, gorgeous and masculine as always :)
The lady owning these shoes has some great taste in shoes.
I am so glad you are back, I really enjoy watching you, Dan

Whenever a new video shows up I run get my smoking jacket and pipe ready for the "let's get sticky" music..................Very relaxing. Thanks, Dan.
Stay tuned for the 200k special at 750k, got it! 😉
So comforting to know my Loub’s have a chance to get that red sole again.
Mad jealous to be a man and not get to wear such banging shoes. You did an incredible job on the shoes! Originally thought the new sole would look way off to the original red but you can't really tell in the end it just looks amazing overall. True craftsmanship!

Let's all be honest and tell how handsome Dan is. 💗💗💗💗
He looks like an old boot - which is a compliment in the world of cobblers.

Those protective soles were sort of experimental, they don’t seem to last very long!
Wow, I did not know women's shoes could even be repaired like this. I thought there wasn't enough material to even work with. Today I learned.

It was nice to see some ladies nice made shoes being repaired hope to see more of them soon.
Louboutin literally went out and bought some cheap heels and used nail varnish to paint the bottoms and sold them for extortionate prices to women. What a legend

And the crazier part is that that entire collection wouldn't even cover the cost of two - or maybe even one - high quality, full bespoke shoes.
@@erenjager9932 it's actually true so you've embarrassed yourself
@@koba1556 You've provided no source.
@@Republic3D this is RUclips not an essay. You want to find out if it's true go look it up and stop being lazy
Very much enjoy watching a true craftsman at work.
I wonder how a shoe of that price range doesnt come with a sole like that by default...
Because the price pays for the brand and its signature red paint. Louboutin just got the idea from seeing an assistant's red nail polish. He now sells that red nail polish for $50 a tiny bottle. I love Dan and his work, but heck, if anyone wanted an authentic repair, just buy a bottle of the nail polish and paint the sole yourself.
Fashion shoes are the biggest rip off I know of.
