    I wear John Lobb. They are so worth looking after by craftsmen like this excellent gentleman. I wear daily shoes that were made for me 30 years ago. When my father died some of his were 40 years old. Good shoes are worth the money.

    My father showed me how to spit-shine his jump boots when I was younger, but once I got the knack of it. It took me about 15 minutes per boot. When I joined the military I was the only one who knew how to do it, hence I was noticed by my drill Sargent and subsequently had to show everyone else how to do it. The only thing I hated was how easily they would scuff, that's when I learned that women's pantyhose rubbed on the scuff, would bring back that mirror finish in ten seconds or less. So one guy was elected to go buy a pair and we cut them up into 2x2 inch sections so everyone could maintain the shine. I love your videos, keep hammering.

    Steve your videos are so healing to watch and relaxing I often wonder what has happened to my father's shoes after he passed away I took several down to the Goodwill and I often wonder what happened to them... He had some John Lobb's some Florsheim's and some Johnston & Murphy shoes that were all made to order because his shoe size was 11-1/2 AA!! He had a heck of a time finding a repairman with your skills. I think he had a guy in New York he had to ship them to. Now, I understand why he was so painstaking about his shoe care every Sunday evening and I loved to sit there and watch him shine his shoes as he watched 60 minutes! I thought that he looked silly in the winter in his rubbers, but when you are spending that kind of money, you do what you can to protect your investment. At one time I called him Imelda,because he had more shoes than any man I knew.

    People doesn't have to make your count... you do a good job and it has to be payed... if you have 1000 dollar shoes, paying 500 dollar to do a repair isn't much. It's cheaper than buying new ones... and it's better for the environment.
    Me I dont pay much for good shoe repair because I let it do in Morocco. When I am going over there. So if you know that people get 250 to 350 a month as salary, then you understand that making your shoes cost less... but I pay always double... so they love to see me arrive with my shoes. Lol...
    No you do a splendid job so it has to be paid... I admire you... you put your soul into your work, so it's that bit more than an average cobbler. And it's worth the money.
    Here in Belgium I have never had a good cobbler... one day they ruined my shoes... so no thanks... morocco here I come...

    I just recently found your RUclips channel and have been enjoying it. I own a leather shop in eastern Washington state. About half our business is boot and shoe repair, and our customers tend to be ranchers, loggers, and country folk. When we resole something it's usually a pair of well-worn cowboy boots or logging boots. I've never seen a pair of Gucci's or John Lobbs. So, it's been quite interesting, and educational, to watch your videos. I especially like your comments about pricing your work. That is a part of the business I always struggle with. We're doing work that very few people know how to do, but have to price it in such a way that our local customers can feel good about the service they are getting. It's a balancing act that we struggle with almost daily. Thanks for these videos.

We had them made when he was 11. He is now 28 & they wore out just after he got married. Thry lasted 13 years so were worth the £300 we paid for them.

    I enjoy watching your videos. You give great insight into your technique. I agree with the paying attention to detail, I believe a person's work is a reflection of who they are. Amazing work. 👍👍👍👍

    Really enjoy watching your work...very relaxing. I think it adds to the experience as you talk us through what your doing and just not having music. Keep up the great work!
