Speaking as a "lady", you don't need to do pocketbooks, purses or women's shoes to make your work more appealing to the female side of the human race. ALL your work is interesting and captivating to us all! Your videos are not too long, ever. In my opinion, they are never long enough. We all appreciate fine craftsmanship, and enjoy your wacky sense of humor, too.
I’m as lady as they come and I still watch you doing men’s shoes. It’s the repair that intrigues me. You are a good guy and that is also nice to watch.
The customer not only has a resurrected pair of shoes to last decades, he has a video record of the skilled craftsman bringing them back from the edge of death. Both make the story for his future steps in his fine shoes.
I love watching you repair whatever item you are working on. You are a leather genius and I (as a woman) enjoy watching you perform your craft. You are a bit of a comedian also, so the levity that you add to your craft is like icing on the cake! Keep doing what you are doing, and I’ll keep watching. “Let’s continue! 👍🏽”
Some people, and they know who they are, spend their daily lives looking for something to be offended, shocked, or dismayed about. Misery is their best friend, and they love to share their friend with as many others as possible.
If a person focusses entirely on their self and because of that suffers repeated failures then it is natural for them to air it all indiscriminately as well.
I wouldn’t complain about the way you do your work at all. If I didn’t like the way you were doing things I just wouldn’t watch. There are too many choices on RUclips. If I don’t like one I will choose another, it’s that simple. In my old age there’s not much that will offend me anyway. Just let it roll off the shoulder and move on.
If you had asked me a month ago if i could imagine watching someone repair shoes for hours on end i'd have laughed at you...yet here we are. I love watching people who know their stuff , cheers man. ....lets continue
I like watching your videos as a nice departure from an audiobook or podcast. I definitely feel like I am learning, certainly appreciating my own shoes and purchases more. Thank you for showing off your craft!
👋 hi there. I’m a lady who watches your videos. I’m here for your quality of workmanship, personality, and the transformation of the repair. I also love how you extend/give new life to well loved quality objects.
Great Steveo! It amazes me how you can not only put on new soles but get the tops so shiny and nice. When you are a master at what you do, it shows! Thanxz
Lady here! And I’ve been binged watching your videos. They’re relaxing to watch. And yes please, do more purse repairs or restoration. I love seeing the before and after of your works. You are a true craftsman sir. 👍🏻
As a lady I thoroughly enjoy watch repairs on men's shoes. I even found a pair of Florsheim imperial in my size to wear with jeans. I just love watching the process of the repair and hearing your stories. You even encouraged me to attempt some simple repairs. Don't change a thing... The right ladies will find your channel.
Steve, I love you to bits, you rock, you are so funny, you make me laugh but on the more serious side you are one incredible craftsman. People like you are now few and far between. It’s a shame more young folk aren’t becoming apprentices as your skills are incredible and so worthy of being passed on. I had a chuckle when you took the heel patch back off. I do exactly the same when I’m sewing.
As a repair person, I often find it encouraging when a customer shows interest, and offers input. Communication brings understanding, and that can make a big difference. I also tend to remember the music I was into when working on a given project, which is quite gratifying.
The length of the videos are great 👍🏼 don’t worry about that. We will watch to see the great outcome. I have watched others and they don’t hold a candle to you. I have learned so much and even the proper terms for the parts of my shoes 👞 THANK YOU 🙏🏼!!
You know your watching a master at work when he makes it look that easy even I could do it-Er- I don't think so-but you get my drift- Great job Steve- looking forward to the next one-👍
I would really love to do this type of work. Im a renovations contractor. Been self employed for right at 10 years now. Last year we bought a piece of property just a few miles out of town, built a self storage with rv & boat storage on the property. We live and work onsite. However, i would prefer to never leave the property. Im a home body in general, so being able to earn our living onsite is a dream to me. We certainly appreciate our clients, and we enjoy seeing the before and after of the projects we do, but it also takes a lot of time to meet with clients, coordinate the project materials and work etc. Anyway, working with my hands, being creative, and working alone is something that would be a good fit. Amazing work, and its quickly becoming a lots skill.
I like the longer videos. More time for Story time with Steve. Every one has a story and it is nice getting to know yours. Bring back Zeus. He is adorable!
Hey Steve, another fascinating video - thank you so much. For me there could never be one that is too long or repetitive, so don’t worry about thinking you will bore viewers away. I just sit back and relax. Keep up the good work. I wish every tradesman had as high standards as you. 👍
Speaking as a Lady I dont care what videos you make as I really enjoy looking at all your videos and how skilled and talented you are and keep up the great work Steve
I've noticed that other people are saying "let's continue" on RUclips now. I don't know who started it, but Steve is the first place I heard it so he gets credit for it! Let's continue...
I'm a "lady", and I'm perfectly satisfied with seeing whatever you do! As someone who lives in walking boots, trainers and sports shoes, I'm ambivalent towards ladies shoes but love how you deconstruct and deconstruct your projects whatever they are.
Greetings from Naples FL, Steve, you are definitely a master at your job. Its amazing how you can take something apart, have it in pieces and then pit it back together making it look better that it did when it was new. WE LOVE LONG VIDEOS. Later brother.
You went to an awful lot of trouble to get that just right. Well done, many others wouldn't have bothered, it's a good repair now. It's a great repair shop you run. Keep up the good work and if you keep your standards high ppl will come from all over. Good workmanship is hard to find. Thankyou for sharing the good, the bad and the ugly with us. You make it so interesting!
I watch your videos quite often before bed, except I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of your work of arts finished because I fall asleep too quickly. Dang!
Steve, I"m a lady & I watched that video & I saw the shoe on the counter & guess what I remembered.....You are Steve....The Guy who, at the end of the video shows us shoes that look better than new every time!!!!!!! The comments would frustrate me! I like seeing you fix women's shoes now and then. I prefer men"s shoes over women's handbags. I am different because my Dad took me to shoe repair shop & that's what I remember with great fondness. I loved your story about your Dad's shop in Lebanon. I would love to hear more about your Dad, his business and more about your experiences growing up there. It is very enjoyable for to hear stories surrounding your craft & how you and your family came here. Great work on John Lobb, as usual. Maybe get some needed sleep now, after working so long at night!!!!!!!
You are more fresh in the mornings as with your work load that you have throughout the day you will be mentally tired so mornings will be better I think you are a shoe hospital you make shoes well and better than they where before continue my friend love it
Love your videos, Steve! Subscribed and (truly) liked all the vids I have seen so far. Also because of you, I found myself buying a pair of Florsheim Royal Imperials that will be headed your way sometime in future. I really liked insight into your family and childhood memories from Beirut. It all makes sense now ... the Armenians in Beirut are known for their artisanship, especially in shoemaking. Having visited the Armenian parts of Beirut, I can picture the building type and the pride in craftsmanship that one still finds there today. Keep up the great work. Because of you I have renewed interest in handcrafted American shoes and no longer will question the labor costs in quality leather works. You really pushed back the darkness on this fascinating craft. Bravo!
The heel damage is absolutely from not using a shoe horn. I destroyed my first pair of AE's the same way. Thankfully I learned my lesson and have not put on a pair of dress shoes without a shoe horn since I replaced that pair.
As a lady, I enjoy your videos whether you are working on men's shoes or handbags. You are a master and I always learn something new. Thanks, Steve! Keep it up. And thanks for the earworm, "one bourbon, one scotch and one beer." :D :D
Amazing amount of work. When I worked as a chauffeur in London I would take clients to John Lobb in St James. These were usually Americans & Canadians. Same for Cuban cigars & then we went to a discrete address in Mayfair so they could be relabeled for US import. I believe Bill Clinton also had his Oval Office Cuban cigars relabeled... probably by the Secret Service.😂😂😂
I have been watching some of your older 8 minute videos. I like the recent 45-60 minute videos better. You show just enough details to understand what you are doing. One shoe in detail is more than enough. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos have made me realize that I don't own a single pair of shoes or handbag that would be worth repairing. I wonder how many people are the same, or if most people splurge on something worth repairing.
Its not really splurging 2 quality pairs of shoes will last you 20 years so say Thats 300 dollars per pair Plus a resole every 5 years worth 100 Its still cheaper than buying a 100 dollar shoe every year
I have shoes that are almost forty years old, and they didn’t cost $1000.00. The secret is maintenance, and not wearing the same shoes everyday. Only the flimsy, strappy evening shoes haven’t held up. Clean, condition, and check them regularly, and you’ll prance around in your beauties for years.
I don’t think it matters to your viewers whether it’s ladies shoes or bags or men’s shoes etc. We follow your videos because you hold our interest in what you do. You are great at what you do. This video is a year old and I’m just getting to it now. I take in two or three per night. It fascinates me. In your own words.....‘Let’s continue’. Shine on 👍
It's quite interesting how a random viewer of your videos can trust you so much. That is to say that this is much due to your passion and workmanship that you present, and I shall follow suit soon enough with my Oak Street Bootmakers ending up in your shop.
Great work there! One of my pet hates is seeing people not undoing the laces and trying to yank their feet into the shoes without shoe horns either; in doing so stressing out the heel counter and wasting time and energy trying to put the shoes on. When the shoes are on, they are loosely fitted. It is so much faster, easier and better if they had used the laces.
Steve as always I am amazed at your work. If I had not seen that shoe in pieces I would have never believed it was repaired:) Not enough hammering though...:) (gotcha)🇬🇷☮️
Love watching your videos even though I don't buy high end shoes. Although, I'm starting to think I should. The only reason I never bothered is because the way I walk, the soles wear unevenly VERY quickly, so I figure it was more cost efficient to buy cheaper shoes and just replace when the sole wears out after a few months. The men in my family have the same issue. Let's continue! 💞
Watching a true master at work. Nothing better. Steve you should do a few videos on boot polishing and re-dying one color to a new color, etc. I would love to see instructionals! Tired of watching Elegant Oxford teach how to polish
Another lady chiming in. I just like to watch you fix stuff. Love your workbench and the paradox of the way you work and your amazing precision. Don’t do handbags on my account. I’ll watch you fix whatever!
Excellent restoration as always! These days people call it OCD, I call it giving your word to do your best and paying attention to detail ! And on a side note that Eminem song is on my (yard work) playlist ! 👍💪
It really irritates me when people say something can't be done....because usually they are wrong! Today I was asking a well known boot company about resoling one of their boots. I got 4 different answers from 3 people. They finally decided that there final answer is no, they can't resole it. But since I've been watching your videos, I know it is definitely possible.
I would like to see more of the burnishing/dyeing process if possible in future videos, please. That is something a casual person could touch up on their own shoes (aka me!) lol
Good day to you Steve and hope you are doing very well and so are your loved ones . AH No Problemo because you know a very decent repair man that does a Perfect job when he shows openly how he fixes things so by him commenting he is also sharing and communicating he is entertaining us bringing advice and knowledge , man would i have loved to have learned how to make hand made shoes , i think Steve you would be great at it see you later take care .
the hardest thing of working with leathers, no matter genuine or imitation, is no punch holes allowed. what a nuisance to have the heel patch re-done twice. thanks for sharing them. well done!
Hey Bedo, don't let anybody tell you how to do your work. Seeing how hard your work is,how much strength you have to come up with to work the leather. After all those years your hands and joints must be aching like hell. Don't worry about our stupid comments,as long as your customers keep coming back for more,all is well. Keep up the good work! Frank
Speaking as a "lady", you don't need to do pocketbooks, purses or women's shoes to make your work more appealing to the female side of the human race. ALL your work is interesting and captivating to us all!

Mining4Gold Meister 100% agree.
You don't need to put lady in quotation marks if you bleed for 5 days without dying.
What's wrong with repairing purses, womens shoes etc. I think its wonderful that he can repair these also.
I’m as lady as they come and I still watch you doing men’s shoes. It’s the repair that intrigues me. You are a good guy and that is also nice to watch.
The customer not only has a resurrected pair of shoes to last decades, he has a video record of the skilled craftsman bringing them back from the edge of death. Both make the story for his future steps in his fine shoes.

I’m a lady and subscribed and tapped the bell. I love you videos-men’s shoes more than the women’s over-priced shoes and bags!!!
Wow!! It’s amazing watching you work. It’s the equivalent to listening to virtuous musicians playing their instrument. Thank you for your videos!
I like watching your videos as a nice departure from an audiobook or podcast. I definitely feel like I am learning, certainly appreciating my own shoes and purchases more. Thank you for showing off your craft!
There was a point at which I thought that shoe was beyond repair. But somehow, you got it back. That's wow-work. You keep raising the bar.
👋 hi there. I’m a lady who watches your videos. I’m here for your quality of workmanship, personality, and the transformation of the repair. I also love how you extend/give new life to well loved quality objects.

from a devoted fan who happens to be female ALL your work is a joy to watch REALLY
Amazing work as usual Steve. Thank you for letting us watch.
I always say you do beautiful work. Very professional and your attention to detail shows your character as a man.Your family is blessed to have you.
As a repair person, I often find it encouraging when a customer shows interest, and offers input. Communication brings understanding, and that can make a big difference. I also tend to remember the music I was into when working on a given project, which is quite gratifying.

Sometimes, sleeping on it and starting with a clear head the next morning is the best thing. Lots of things in life are like this.
You know your watching a master at work when he makes it look that easy even I could do it-Er- I don't think so-but you get my drift- Great job Steve- looking forward to the next one-👍

Another job extremely well done! I love the longer videos, and yes, bring on the handbags, please! Woohoo, way to go Steve.
I’m addicted to your channel. I could never afford shoes that would warrant these type of repairs but it’s amazing to watch. You’re truly talented!
Speaking as a Lady I dont care what videos you make as I really enjoy looking at all your videos and how skilled and talented you are and keep up the great work Steve
Steve you need to get some merchandise like t shirts that say let's continue or some stuff that represents you and bedos leather works.
Hammer Time! shirts please!!
“Lets continue”, I keep saying it to drive my family mad!!!!!
I've noticed that other people are saying "let's continue" on RUclips now. I don't know who started it, but Steve is the first place I heard it so he gets credit for it! Let's continue...
Looks great to me. I know if I ever need any shoe repair work I will definitely email you. I love your dedication to perfection.
I'm a "lady", and I'm perfectly satisfied with seeing whatever you do! As someone who lives in walking boots, trainers and sports shoes, I'm ambivalent towards ladies shoes but love how you deconstruct and deconstruct your projects whatever they are.

Your one of the best I’ve seen because you don’t settle for “not bad” great work hard to find cobblers like that

You Sir have some high standards..nice to see someone that has pride in his work..great job Steve.

Great job Steve. That was a tough project! 👍🏻
Shirts with a hammer saying "It's hammer time "
Amazing work and skills, great videos, love your work.
What a great repair. I would have thought those shoes were done and good only for the trash. Amazing job!
I like the part between 0:00 and 50:58. Superb as usual.
George Thurgood (One bourbon, one scotch, on beer). You are the man, those shoes were shot!!!

TheNunakun reach out anytime you’re ready
Thx steve ,👍🏻👍🏻hammertime.thx for the vlog and your time ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻.see you next time .
I think this customer needs to start using a shoe horn Steve....! Another fantastic repair...!
You are such a perfectionist. At times, you need to rest in order to solve sticky problems. Take care!
It’s another sunless rainy day here-this will pull me through the day though-knowing I have your video to watch tonight!
An inspiring video - Thank you for this excellent tour de force on these John Lobbs.
I spot this vid at the end of lunch hour. Result?.. 2hour lunch break! Thanks for posting.
House Rent Blues/One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. George Thorogood
I like the new "Squeaky time" feature you added.
Great work there! One of my pet hates is seeing people not undoing the laces and trying to yank their feet into the shoes without shoe horns either; in doing so stressing out the heel counter and wasting time and energy trying to put the shoes on. When the shoes are on, they are loosely fitted. It is so much faster, easier and better if they had used the laces.
I enjoy watching you and I have learned a lot about taking care of my shoes. thank you.
Steve as always I am amazed at your work. If I had not seen that shoe in pieces I would have never believed it was repaired:) Not enough hammering though...:) (gotcha)🇬🇷☮️
Always interesting work.
Wonderful instructive videos, you are a master craftsman, love your memories, what are your views on Lebanon then vs now?
Great work Steve, as always. Enjoyed watching this one, as always.
Great work, it is not seen often these day👍
the absolute of perfection,none finer.
Excellent job
Gracias por sus vídeos y su tiempo para explicar y mostrar sus conocimientos, un saludo desde Gran Canaria, Islas Canarias,España.

If you go back through some of the old video's there are some pretty extensive pieces on sanding, dying and conditioning. If you need an answer soon.
Good day to you Steve and hope you are doing very well and so are your loved ones . AH No Problemo because you know a very decent repair man that does a Perfect job when he shows openly how he fixes things so by him commenting he is also sharing and communicating he is entertaining us bringing advice and knowledge , man would i have loved to have learned how to make hand made shoes , i think Steve you would be great at it see you later take care .
the hardest thing of working with leathers, no matter genuine or imitation, is no punch holes allowed. what a nuisance to have the heel patch re-done twice. thanks for sharing them. well done!
Great job 😎👍
Hey Bedo,
don't let anybody tell you how to do your work. Seeing how hard your work is,how much strength you have to come up with to work the leather. After all those years your hands and joints must be aching like hell. Don't worry about our stupid comments,as long as your customers keep coming back for more,all is well. Keep up the good work!
Frank
Great work as always. Don't sweat the video length after all it is a video. we can stop and re-start when we get time.. ...
Enjoyed the outdoor philosophizing scene. Good judgement being a rare commodity, am interested in your observations.
Long may you reign in the shoe repair business, King of the hammer!
