      @grafvonstauffenburg Not really. Dr Martens were bought out by a multinational conglomerate a few years ago, and redesigned the boots and opened up a factory in the Far East. Some of the originals mage in the Nottingham Factory are still traded between collectors because they are far superior in materials, construction, and comfort than the redesigned ones. You have to know quality to judge it. A lot of people today don't know quality because cheap, throw away fashion is so prevalent. A question: have you ever though why these cobbler channels don't feature women's shoes? It's because most on the market aren't worth repairing because women consumers have been trained to buy fashion over quality, and that makes the shareholders happy. We, the consumers need to change and be more savvy consumers and learn about how clothing and shoes are made and buy quality. We will have to soon anyway because the days of cheap and cheerful are on their way out, as those poor workers earning under $5 a day in the Far East ain't going to be happy forever settling for less, and the percentage of GDP paid to workers in the developed countries continue to fall over time, we won't be able to be so penny smart and pound foolish. There's no a channel where a female historical costumier taught herself to make shoes, and that hobby isn't cheap, but shoe goes through the steps of how say, a early 20th century female boot was constructed, and you would be hard pushed to find that quality today. We're the fools.

    Those had a great transformation! Never justify your prices. If people love their shoes, or are lucky, etc., who are we to judge whether or not to spend the $$ on it. I noticed the volume levels being adjusted for the machinery, but it was excellent for hearing you while using it. Fabulous! 💖

    What I'm getting at, as a collector, it was worth the price .. to me. What I'm also saying is that I understand "sentimental value" .. it is worth the price. Great video. Cheers ....

      I used to pound the pavement of NYC for years and the state of shoes always interested me. I can relate ... LOL! They feel great, become your go to and the last thing you want to do is give them up for any period of time. For me, it was always the leaning heal or the flapping sole ... Haha!

      Finding someone to do professional refinish work could of been a deciding factor as well. I wouldn't want to send shoes off to someone and get back a horrible rework but maybe the person stumbled upon bedos videos and seen the quality and care that goes in to his work and that was enough to part with the shoes to get what looks like a brand new product and you see the pride that comes with what he put in to it.
