Excited to get these back Steve. I'm going to hate wearing down those beautiful soles. As always you've exceeded expectations and your craftsmanship is second to none!
I remember going to The New York Tea and Coffee Company with my Mom. This was in Saint Paul, MN. There were four 0,0,0,0; on the wall, and underneath the 0 sign was a handwritten sign reading: coarse, medium, fine, extra fine. Another sign said NO REGRINDS! I think prepayment was instituted soon after my visit. Fresh scones are wonderful but making new friends is priceless. Cheers!
Man, that sit down at the end was a super cool treat. I know nothing about shoes, shoe making, leather, shoe repair, but love watching your craftsmanship.
Just my 2 cents but I think "The couples coffee corner with The Cobbler and Chris" would be a memorable and unique title for the segment. 😅 Amazing work! I imagine finding shoes in that small of a size is tough so finding someone who can adjust them down so expertly must be great.
I still can't believe that the multicolor shoe is from the ground up! Seems straight from the factory but better cause it has your own flair. Amazing shoe
Hey Steve, I'm back with another coffee comment. During your coffee break, you guys were talking about how the grind size was too coarse on this particular bag and wondering if it makes a difference. In short, yes it totally does! It is just as you said, when making Turkish (or in your words Armenian) coffee, the method calls for that powder fine coffee! As a coffee roaster by trade, I have spent quite some time learning about all the different coffee brew methods and various required grind sizes. If you have any specialty coffee shops in your area, you can ask them to grind your bag to turkish fine and they can get it down to that powder fine that you are familiar with! Hope that helps :)
Hi Steve 🙋🏽. I hope that you and your family had a great memorial day celebration ❤️ I'm going to give you MY critique before I even watch the video 📸. Because I already know that you are Awesome ‼️ And THAT YOU are A MASTER AT WHAT YOU DO ‼️ I'M GOING TO WATCH THE VIDEO NOW, BUT HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY ‼️🍀👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👍🏽. OH YEAH ‼️ I REALLY LOVED THE MULTI COLOR CHANGE ON THE SNEAKERS 🤩.
Sir, your talent never ceases to amaze me. And your videos are perfect. Thank you for taking time to video these repairs in the midst of your busy schedule. I'm working on wearing out my shoes and purses so I can send them your way.
Hi, Steve, Been watching your vids for a while now and Wow, such dedication to your craft, not a common thing these days, your commentary during the alterations and explanation of construction methods of leather goods and how your machinery works is not only very professionaliy done but makes the video very enjoyable, every minute, especially because you go the extra mile for your customers. Some vids ago you asked what the lighting and the sound was like and I say both are brilliant, not overpowering, but add a lot to the atmosphere and the feel of the pictures you shoot. Thank-you so much for taking the time to show us the detail of every stitch, Coffee time is especially entertaining, and of course who doesn't enjoy "Hammer-Time". Wishing you and your family good health in these potty times from me and mine here in Stockport of the United Kingdom, and may your shadow never shorten.... and so lets continue... All the best Dave Coates
If any viewer wants to know why your repairs are worth so much, I would point them to 7:30 in this video. How do you know how much to cut off to to re-size this gentleman’s shoes? Answer? A lifetime’s experience. Pure and simple. It is a pleasure to watch you Steve. Thank you.
An amazing job on a beautiful pair. I love the classic simplicity of a plain vamp loafer. Such a timeless and versatile style. You have excellent taste Mario.
Black Rifle Coffee Company is another veteran owned maker who has some great tasting coffees. Maybe they'll send you some to sample and review. The alteration on this great looking shoe was flawless. When you can't tell it's even been altered, you know you're watching a master. I'm always amazed at your sewing skills and how many different kinds of sewing machines you have. That's an art in itself and likely what allows you to do all the projects that most other cobblers just wouldn't take on. I just really enjoy watching a talented artist.
I’m so excited that you liked the coffee I sent. Although you weren’t blown away with it at least it was better than that other crap you had. Ha. Love your work!
My shoe man! I have my shoes still. 40 years old. They look new. Always use a shoe horn and shoe 👞 stretch. Take care Steve. Best wishes and stay well...
Really ageless classic loafers there, Bedo. I enjoy your skills and patter as you work... especially your falsetto voice at times. I'm interested to see how you use carpentry/woodworking tools in your shop .. ie a chisel, pincers, Stanley knife etc.
Watching your coffee break reminded me of the ‘Coffee Club’ on board the ships I was on. The 12 to 4 watch on the bridge, 2pm was coffee time. Another great success on those shoes. Fascinated watching you undo the backs of the shoes. It gave me the horrors thinking that they were being dismantled.....but how else could it have been done. Great video Steve Shine on
I own an italian espresso machine, and studied coffee for long as a hobby. Grinding beans coarser makes water flow through bean powders faster, and makes its taste lighter. And making finer slowing down flowing, and brings out more from beans, taster darker, and deeper.
This was awesome! Different than the usual resole and redress that we’ve seen several times on bluchers or oxfords. Great addition to your content! Thank you for filming this one and sharing it with us!
Thanks Steve, stopped wearing loafers back in the day. Not forsake old fashion, but because I grew into a size 14 arch on a size 13 foot. Loafers just didn’t fit right after that. My heel kept popping out as I walked. May as well have been wearing flip flops. Take care.
Steve I can't speak for everyone but man I really would love to hear a lot more about your Dad he had to be a very driven man with a lot of heart to come and do the work he did in those days. Anyway have a great day my friend and beautiful job on the florsheim's
Love your show, and today's was no exception. I purchased a pair of Florsheim's back in the late '70s. I think they were a pair of these shoes. The first time I wore them the sole fell off of one of the shoes. I was about 19 at the time. I brought the shoes back in to get them repaired. The dirt bags refused to fix them. I had to bring them into a fine establishment; like yours, to get them repaired. To this day I have purchased many an expensive shoe, but I will never buy a Florsheim product again. How's Bedo's Leather on the palate? I was thinking Leather undertones, but....
If you aren’t getting thumbs down, you aren’t trying hard enough to trigger folk. Maybe sharpen a disposable knife again… Damn that is some beautiful work again, keep it going sir!
A great resize/ restoration Steve they looked good in the beginning then they got the bedo’s touch and you don’t get much better than that fantastic work Steve another happy customer 👍
"Coffee with Chris"! Not my favourite shoe but a really great restoration. Good of you to feature District Leather Supply as well. Gotta love the social networking!
That was a great video Steve. I could make you a machine that would catch your cotton in a safety pin but it would be a long time coming as just like you most of my machinery is found on the end of my arms. Coffee & Shoes sounds good as your latest guest suggested. Stay safe & keep up the excellent work.
I understand that the knife has to be sharp, so how on earth did you get the binding off without cutting into it? Omg you’re genius level at blade work. It’s like watching precise surgery.
Great job. I love the shape of those shoes. I saw a similar pair here in the UK earlier this year but they were made in ‘high shine’ leather, which I avoid because it cracks.
Magnificent work Steve! I would think with your shaky hands, you could zig zag stitch at the speed of light! You should sponsor a Cobbler Coffee brand!!! Thanks for the nice video good sir.
You can call it . Coffee time or coffee talk. Or Beidos talk. Or coffee chat. 🤪🤪😉😉 Many thumb's up👍👍👍👍👍 your work is exceptional and your style and attitude very good. Greetings from Greece.
Right, if that coffee is any good should have a roast date in the bag . Shoes, why put that big Nike sign on it Only if the man knew about the creepy behind the scenes & political horse crap Nike is doing
Good morning Steve. Thank you for your videos. Some times I wonder if on some jobs, like the jacket, you in fact make any money at all. Those are very small shoes for very small feet. I love t watch you paying so much attention even to the smallest details. You should grind your own coffee beans. I use Costco French Roast for over 30 years. I grind mine to like you say a powder. It is how I like it to use in a French( of course) press
Steve another great video....... can you direct me to the video where the guy is complaining about you hammering I would like to view that one for sure. Keep them coming I enjoy watching masters like you doing their trade.
I know all shoes are not equal, but what would a Steve Madden/Aldo shoe look like deconstructed as you did with this pair? The quality of a Florsheim and similar makes is so good it would be interesting to see a comparison. Steve you do great work, love your work and attitude. Your videos make mine and many others day. 🇨🇦
Steve, I was always thinking when you speak about your Dad, you always called him a shoemaker rather than a cordwainer, here in the UK, the profession "Cordwainer" is a highly regarded, and honorable profession, mainly in Northampton and surrounding areas of Northamptonshire County. They pride themselves on being "The shoemaking capital of the World" and certainly some of the finest shoes in the World come from Cordwainers in the Northamptonshire area. The word Cordwainer comes from the bastardisation of the old French/Spanish/Italian word for "of Córdoba." Cordova or Córdoba was the City in Spain where the finest leather was produced, the Cordovan leather made from the two "shells" on the butt of a horse, it's an equine leather rather than a bovine leather. It's said that traders would take the tannin from the phloem of British Oak, used to build Ships (the live white part of the tree, under the bark) to Córdoba for the tanneries to use as tanning liquor, and bring back the Cordovan leather to sell to the Cordwainers to produce the finest shoes. Córdoba and Northampton are still linked by a thousand years of history. The reason for the rivalry between Cobblers and Cordwainers is that the Cobbler repaired the shoes and the owner of the shoes didn't buy a new pair of shoes from the Cordwainer. The Cordwainer produced different styles/fashion of shoes to try and get the purchaser to buy a new pair of shoes rather than repair their old, out of fashion, pair, we can see this in middle ages shoes with long pointed toes. Cordwainers look down upon Cobblers and their language is still used, "to Cobble together" is still used for a derogatory term for piecing together and making do!
Would I be incorrect in assuming there is a diminishing number of techs that can service your stitching machines, specifically the Landis? Beautiful work as usual Steve.
Hey Steve, thanks for all of the great content over the years! One quick question, you have inspired me to do some basic cobbling jobs at home (mainly heel replacements and the like) and I was wondering where you would recommend getting some basic tools for the job. I am particularly enamoured with your (in)famous hammer, although I appreciate that it maybe an heirloom piece in your instance. Thanks again for your masterful work, Alexander.
@23:20: You're talking here about grind settings. There are different grinds for different brewing techniques. The brewing style you like (common in the eastern Mediterranean and some parts of Vietnam) is super-fine and is often called "powder". It would be messy or awful to use with most techniques, but very good for the one you like. It also yields very high levels of extraction, so the coffee can be very strong and a bit bitter... and there's nearly always some sludge at the bottom of it. (If you're really into coffee, check out James Hoffman's channel. He's geared toward espresso, but branches out.)
Ignore the haters Steve- they’re looking for attention. You have a huge number of subscribers and thumbs up on each video- that has to tell you something!
I wonder what some of these dress shoes or boots would look like with that chameleon style coloring was used to accent certain areas. I was just thinking about the boots you did the other day and having that incorporated in the welt but with the chameleon affect a little bit toned down.
Excited to get these back Steve. I'm going to hate wearing down those beautiful soles. As always you've exceeded expectations and your craftsmanship is second to none!
My pleasure Mario
You should update us on the shoes when you get them back
@@bassheadlife492 received them. They're amazing. Just need to wear them out on the town. Lol
@@mahreeohhhh glad to hear!
Incerdible. This is not JUST repairing a shoe, this is constructing a new shoe. Great work.
"Coffee with the cobbler" would be a catchy name : )
Nice. Or even just “Cobbler’s Coffee” to make it shorter.
That’s a good one!
Coffee with Steve and Chris.
Steve and Chris Coffee hour
I remember going to The New York Tea and Coffee Company with my Mom. This was in Saint Paul, MN. There were four 0,0,0,0; on the wall, and underneath the 0 sign was a handwritten sign reading: coarse, medium, fine, extra fine. Another sign said NO REGRINDS! I think prepayment was instituted soon after my visit. Fresh scones are wonderful but making new friends is priceless. Cheers!
Two videos in two days. Sweet!
"I am the machine" would be an interesting t-shirt!
😀thx for project Steve ,chris got it 🤣thx for your time and the vlog ,see you next time 👍👍👍👍
Punching the holes so it's easier to hand stitch. Genius. I never would have thought of that. Great rework Steve.
Caffeine and Cobbling
Man, that sit down at the end was a super cool treat. I know nothing about shoes, shoe making, leather, shoe repair, but love watching your craftsmanship.
Just my 2 cents but I think "The couples coffee corner with The Cobbler and Chris" would be a memorable and unique title for the segment. 😅
Amazing work! I imagine finding shoes in that small of a size is tough so finding someone who can adjust them down so expertly must be great.
I love how much pride he takes in his work. It's so beautiful to watch. I've never seen any one even touch the quality of his work
I still can't believe that the multicolor shoe is from the ground up! Seems straight from the factory but better cause it has your own flair. Amazing shoe

Very cool thanks for the info
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC anytime 👍
And realistically, even online specialty shops can pre-grind your coffee that fine too, you'd just need to specify!
I like when Chris comes to visit with the coffee time. It is like when Mr. Green Jeans came to visit lol.
So to day it was Mr. Green Jeans meets Mr. Bill. Cool
Hi Steve 🙋🏽. I hope that you and your family had a great memorial day celebration ❤️ I'm going to give you MY critique before I even watch the video 📸.

OH YEAH ‼️ I REALLY LOVED THE MULTI COLOR CHANGE ON THE SNEAKERS 🤩.
Almost watched all your restoration videos...your craftsmanship inspires me af..👌🏽👌🏽
Those are great looking shoes, I could never afford a pair, but I envy the gentleman that own them.
Sir, your talent never ceases to amaze me. And your videos are perfect. Thank you for taking time to video these repairs in the midst of your busy schedule. I'm working on wearing out my shoes and purses so I can send them your way.
Anytime you’re ready

Beautiful Resizing ! Also, enjoyed the Coffee time chit-chat and laughter too. Thanks for the video Steve.
Those are beautiful shoes . I wear a 7d myself. I’m imagining trying those on right now 😆.
I mean no words can describe how much you give to each project you do. And to all people round you. Nice to see Chris & new friend Bill. ❤️
An amazing job on a beautiful pair. I love the classic simplicity of a plain vamp loafer. Such a timeless and versatile style. You have excellent taste Mario.

A great show Steve, I had my coffee with you 3..Thanks f4or posting.
THAT's a good looking loafer ! Clean lines and well constructed. Very nice conversion.
I’m so excited that you liked the coffee I sent. Although you weren’t blown away with it at least it was better than that other crap you had. Ha. Love your work!
❤️❤️❤️👍👍

Shine on
I,m going to look for a Yuma tomorrow.
I own an italian espresso machine, and studied coffee for long as a hobby. Grinding beans coarser makes water flow through bean powders faster, and makes its taste lighter. And making finer slowing down flowing, and brings out more from beans, taster darker, and deeper.
Oh ok good to know
You are just brilliant, I am watching all your videos . Andre Goosen , Port Elizabeth , South Africa 🇿🇦
The shoes look fantastic Steve. I loved the coffee time segment, very interesting
This was awesome! Different than the usual resole and redress that we’ve seen several times on bluchers or oxfords.
Great addition to your content! Thank you for filming this one and sharing it with us!
If I needed a shoe repair, no doubt I would pick Steveroo...! The best as far as I'm concerned..... Amazing workmanship...!
Thanks Steve, stopped wearing loafers back in the day. Not forsake old fashion, but because I grew into a size 14 arch on a size 13 foot. Loafers just didn’t fit right after that. My heel kept popping out as I walked. May as well have been wearing flip flops. Take care.
Steve I can't speak for everyone but man I really would love to hear a lot more about your Dad he had to be a very driven man with a lot of heart to come and do the work he did in those days. Anyway have a great day my friend and beautiful job on the florsheim's
Hi Steve, it's got to be "Coffee Time" 😀👍loved both videos over the last couple of days. Much love and respect to you and yours from the UK 😀👍
This was fascinating to watch - such wonderful craftsmanship. Those Yuma's are slick.
"These are my machines"
Ah, the dad jokes. It wouldn't be the same without them.
Amazing job as always ! Thank you for sharing this content !
I’m enjoying coffee time! It’s a nice addition!
Now a chat show host as well as top top craftsman! Two great pairs of shoes.
nice video with the coffee time, but the irony of seeing an Armenian and a Greek enjoying turkish coffee :))) keep on the good work and God bless
Beautiful job... I have been searching for a pair of these in my size FOREVER! Some day...
I've dealt with District leather Supply many times! Great customerservice, and products!!
There will always be people there to try to knock you. Ignore and keep going. Live the videos.
Love your show, and today's was no exception. I purchased a pair of Florsheim's back in the late '70s. I think they were a pair of these shoes. The first time I wore them the sole fell off of one of the shoes. I was about 19 at the time. I brought the shoes back in to get them repaired. The dirt bags refused to fix them.

How's Bedo's Leather on the palate? I was thinking Leather undertones, but....
You got that right. People get triggered by the least little thing. Crazy.
Nice job , your coffee times are just great :)
If you aren’t getting thumbs down, you aren’t trying hard enough to trigger folk.
Maybe sharpen a disposable knife again…
Damn that is some beautiful work again, keep it going sir!
A great resize/ restoration Steve they looked good in the beginning then they got the bedo’s touch and you don’t get much better than that fantastic work Steve another happy customer 👍
"Coffee with Chris"! Not my favourite shoe but a really great restoration. Good of you to feature District Leather Supply as well. Gotta love the social networking!
That was a great video Steve.
I could make you a machine that would catch your cotton in a safety pin but it would be a long time coming as just like you most of my machinery is found on the end of my arms. Coffee & Shoes sounds good as your latest guest suggested.
Stay safe & keep up the excellent work.
The Coffee Cobbler Show, could be a name.
I am impressed. Very well done.
You know you're getting old when you discuss the texture of coffee grounds.
Gorgeous job on the Florsheims.
Great work love watching, also coffee time love that
You are not repairing that shoe you are making that shoe wow your work is perfect. That florsheim leather is awesome still holds
I understand that the knife has to be sharp, so how on earth did you get the binding off without cutting into it? Omg you’re genius level at blade work. It’s like watching precise surgery.
great job Steve, they look better than new.
shoes look really good, your coffee session, great and entertaining!
Great job. I love the shape of those shoes. I saw a similar pair here in the UK earlier this year but they were made in ‘high shine’ leather, which I avoid because it cracks.
The mid sole grind - have your sit down chat's mid way through a video like you did and the finish/reveal at the end lol.
Its 1 am but when Steve post a video, I have to watch.
Magnificent work Steve! I would think with your shaky hands, you could zig zag stitch at the speed of light! You should sponsor a Cobbler Coffee brand!!! Thanks for the nice video good sir.
🤣🤣🤣
You guys remind me of the "Coffee Talk" skit on SNL. Mike Meyers :)
You can call it . Coffee time or coffee talk. Or Beidos talk. Or coffee chat. 🤪🤪😉😉 Many thumb's up👍👍👍👍👍 your work is exceptional and your style and attitude very good. Greetings from Greece.
Your watch band takes me back to 1970,71,72 .
is it a copy of a Daytona
Right, if that coffee is any good should have a roast date in the bag .
Shoes, why put that big Nike sign on it Only if the man knew about the creepy behind the scenes & political horse crap Nike is doing
Good morning Steve.
Thank you for your videos.
Some times I wonder if on some jobs, like the jacket, you in fact make any money at all.
Those are very small shoes for very small feet.
I love t watch you paying so much attention even to the smallest details.
You should grind your own coffee beans.
I use Costco French Roast for over 30 years.
I grind mine to like you say a powder.
It is how I like it to use in a French( of course) press
Grinding to a fine powder is the key to a good cup of coffee. I use coffee grinders I bought in Bosnia.
Don’t know why but for some reason I’m relating your watch strap to the 1970’s - I can smell the old spice from here 😂
Me and my dad watch ur videos we think u are brilliant not many cobblers about now
Great job guys !!!!
Love those loafers 👞
The Nikeys where very trick.
I feel a Bedos range of coffee coming 😜😜😜
Love your "machines"! :)
Steve another great video....... can you direct me to the video where the guy is complaining about you hammering I would like to view that one for sure. Keep them coming I enjoy watching masters like you doing their trade.
Wow that was a while ago not sure which video, he was complaining that the hammering was to load.🤣🤣🤣now it’s a lot loader
Work of art!!! Thanks for sharing.
You know what time it is . Bedos coffee time!
I know all shoes are not equal, but what would a Steve Madden/Aldo shoe look like deconstructed as you did with this pair? The quality of a Florsheim and similar makes is so good it would be interesting to see a comparison. Steve you do great work, love your work and attitude. Your videos make mine and many others day. 🇨🇦
Yay, I'm number 1000!
Thanks for the entertaining video
Thanks Steve. Beautiful shoes.
Steve, I was always thinking when you speak about your Dad, you always called him a shoemaker rather than a cordwainer, here in the UK, the profession "Cordwainer" is a highly regarded, and honorable profession, mainly in Northampton and surrounding areas of Northamptonshire County. They pride themselves on being "The shoemaking capital of the World" and certainly some of the finest shoes in the World come from Cordwainers in the Northamptonshire area. The word Cordwainer comes from the bastardisation of the old French/Spanish/Italian word for "of Córdoba." Cordova or Córdoba was the City in Spain where the finest leather was produced, the Cordovan leather made from the two "shells" on the butt of a horse, it's an equine leather rather than a bovine leather. It's said that traders would take the tannin from the phloem of British Oak, used to build Ships (the live white part of the tree, under the bark) to Córdoba for the tanneries to use as tanning liquor, and bring back the Cordovan leather to sell to the Cordwainers to produce the finest shoes. Córdoba and Northampton are still linked by a thousand years of history. The reason for the rivalry between Cobblers and Cordwainers is that the Cobbler repaired the shoes and the owner of the shoes didn't buy a new pair of shoes from the Cordwainer. The Cordwainer produced different styles/fashion of shoes to try and get the purchaser to buy a new pair of shoes rather than repair their old, out of fashion, pair, we can see this in middle ages shoes with long pointed toes.

Цвет туфлей шикарный.
Работа безукоризненная!
Кексы, наверное, вкусные.
Кружечки маловаты...😉
Old Leather Smith and, not bad Steve, GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Could you do a episode where you explane the machines you have and thier historys? Are they the same as a shoemaker would use?
Would I be incorrect in assuming there is a diminishing number of techs that can service your stitching machines, specifically the Landis? Beautiful work as usual Steve.
Over the years you learn to work on them
Yes, the grind makes a difference. For this style of coffee it needs to be ground VERY fine.
Hey Steve, thanks for all of the great content over the years! One quick question, you have inspired me to do some basic cobbling jobs at home (mainly heel replacements and the like) and I was wondering where you would recommend getting some basic tools for the job.

Ignore the haters Steve- they’re looking for attention. You have a huge number of subscribers and thumbs up on each video- that has to tell you something!
Nice shoe and Great Job !!!
Excellent as always
I wonder what some of these dress shoes or boots would look like with that chameleon style coloring was used to accent certain areas. I was just thinking about the boots you did the other day and having that incorporated in the welt but with the chameleon affect a little bit toned down.
Hola amigo, un saludo desde Málaga, España.
Bill makes that coffee cup look like a thimble. :)
I want those Nikes!! 😍😍😍
