I am 44 and my hands have shaken like yours do since I was about 6 years old. I am a welder and fabricator and it has NEVER effected my work. I am also a very good shot with a firearm and have been since my father taught me to hunt when I was young. It seems like it would be an inconvenience but it has never been.
I learned to properly fit Florsheim shoes at 18 in 1967. Saving every penny (at 95¢ an hour) this was my first shoe purchase. My feet thanked me every day thereafter. I could stand all day without fatigue in those shoes. What memories. Thanks Steve
My son’s hands used to shake for years until he was diagnosed with autoimmune hyperthyroidism (Graves disease). He’s an artist. I only mention this because after his hyperthyroidism was under control, his hands stopped shaking-and he had to relearn how to draw because he was so used to having shaky hands and compensating for it. So if you aren’t broken, don’t fix it; your work is beautiful as it is!
Beautiful Steve ! Coming out of the Army in 1969, my dad sent me to Kaps Men's store, which was downtown in our small city. My dad said I needed a suit and dress shoes for job interviews (of course he was right). A friend of his worked as a salesman there, and he took care of me. My first expensive shoe was the Florsheim Royal Imperial model. I was not an easy fit, size 13-14 and 4E !!!! Thanks for the video...take care.
This is like slapping a new set of Pirellis on a 50+ year old Ferrari. Very classy. With a detail thrown in. Don't you dare touch that patina. It gives those Florsheim's a genuine visual appeal. Top drawer work sir.
Stevie, at about 28:20 I saw a little bugger fly past behind you on the floor. Get some spray insecticide and give them hell! Amazing job as always brother! Also the shaking could more or less be because you've worked with your hands your entire life which ends up leading to nerve damage and arthritis. I get it too in my profession. Fingers are delicate.
I’m not going to lie. When you did the reveal with the still shots I kind of got a little emotional. I watch these videos and love every minute of them. For a couple of years now I’ve watched and I swear you’ve gotten better with your craft! I don’t really know what else to say but I want you to know that this is really a work of art. Thank you for sharing, Steve! Love you man!
Steve, I just rewatched the video and I must comment on your post restoration photos. They are tremendous. The photo studio shots really show off the depth of the leather and all of the great details of the shoes and your work! They are probably better shoes now than when they were first built.
One thing re-soling a brand new pair of shoes albeit a high quality job, quite another bringing back a 55 year pair of shoes. It is something to be praised. In a disposable society we could learn so much about buying a quality base product, then maintaining it. Employing highly skilled artisans like yourself to breathe new life into them.
Great video Steve! .. Awesome renovation of a classic shoe! .. And boy did you bring them back to their former glory, and then some! .. There is a reason why 50 years of patina looks that good .. because it takes 50 years to look that good!!!
If pigs fly and you run out of shoes to make videos for us....I'd be more than happy to see a compilation of you sewing welts on all different types of shoes and boots. That machine sound is freakishly relaxing to me.
Dont feel bad about your shaking , i jumped a bit when you mentioned it . I have the same issue , been shaking since a kid . My mother would notice it when i was eating . Been to the doctor about it and he wasnt that concerned for some reason , just a tremor issue and for me also comes with anxiety . I am 61 now and i will say it gets worse the older you get . You are a cobbler with the hands of a surgeon and it shows in the finish product .
I used to think the repair process was super expensive then I came across other channels that highlight professionally made shoes today and I have to say, $600 to bring back a pair of shoes from over 50 years ago is actually an insane deal. Especially when In today’s market, if you buy shoes that are hand made/altered they can be thousands
It depends on what 50-yr old shoes they are... to be honest, these aren't John Lobb or even Alden cordovan. If I HAD to spend $$$ on a pair of Florsheim Imperial repair it's only because of sentimental value (like my grandpa wore them before) or a pair that I really find aesthetically unmatched, like their long wing cordovan, not this pair of short wing pebble grain.
The repair process is super expensive you can purchase a new pair of these for a third of the cost of that repair so unless you have shoes that's actually worth several thousands or great sentimental value dont think for a second this is saving you money
@39:07 The attention to detail is what will inspire me to come to your shop. If I am going to pay for craftsmanship then I want to find someone who cares about the quality of work they do and put their name on! I salute you from Baltimore!
Beautiful restoration. I worked for Florsheim in high school & college (late 1960s early 1970s). I loved this shoe. It was great to see a pair again. There was also a Royal Imperial in alligator with a monk strap. Hope you get a pair of those sometime. Thanks for sharing!
I have watched your Chanel for what seems a lifetime- I know nothing about shoes and to be honest I don’t have a good relationship with them as I can never find a shoe that is comfortable for my fat feet lol. But one thing I do know is I love watching you work, your craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing. Love how you go above and beyond for your customers. ❤️
Every time I watch you I’m a little more convinced that you growing up with a dad that made shoes, has pushed you beyond being a cobbler, you don’t just slap a new sole or heels on, give them a quick buff and punt them on, more of your jobs are getting like this, an almost total rebuild. I have a notion in my mind that I could come and work for you and learn, like Daniel Day Lewis watching Stefano Bemer, only I’d be the most ham fisted shoe destroyer the world has ever seen. Thank you for the love and care you put in, and for keeping me amused, bemused and entertained, but never triggered. P.s sharpen some disposable knife blades!
Anyone who can craft a shoe like you can call a gemming anything they want. But I'm glad someone criticized that because that makes you do voices. Love those voices. And yes I saw that roach or whatever it was run across the floor.
this guy is doing all this incredible work and I couldn't even find a cobbler to sew a sole back on that the threads had rotten out. he actually glued it back on.....And it lasted about 5 minutes. This country used to have, and needs craftsmen. people like this!
Bad repairs: I see it a LOT in vintage bamboo fly rods that like Florsheims, can easily exceed 4-digit values. Many times the repair was not done by a "basement rodmaker" (say, Everett Garri$on), but over the counter at a sporting establishment. Maybe if it were lucky, they'd try a gunsmith. But the challenge of making something worthwhile "right" is a unique satisfaction. NOW if only you, Steve, were a fly fisherman; we could arrange a barter!!!
My Dad’s hands shakes all the time since the late 80s.. he thought it was nerve problem so he takes B complex vitamins. But due to an emergency in 2010 he found out he has hyperthyroidism which caused the shakes and other issues. i suggest you get your thyroid hormone levels tested so you can be properly treated.
Hey Steve I'm so happy that you didn't dye the uppers. They look great. Open pore leather with natural colours. No plasticie dead look from the acrylic. This was a perfect choice.
I am new here. I watched before I decided to subscribe. Original, knowledgeable and passionate about what you do. Makes this fun to watch. The filming was good also
Thanks for this video. My dad wore these shoes during the 60’s. He wore a size 12 and got the nickname Big Foot. Scotch grain wing tips in black were his favorite. Good memories watching this.
Until the early 90’s my late husband used to buy Brogues made by the Hartt shoe factory of Fredericton New Brunswick he was saddened when the closed. I can’t help but wonder if you have ever worked on a pair . I enjoy seeing the work that you do on all the items that you repair! I can say that the classy Brogues are my favourite projects , and that you bring a smile to my face when I see you work your magic.👍🖖👍🖖👍🖖👍🙋🏼♀️♥️
I am 69 years of age. When I was young in the early 60's, my dad bought only Florsheim wing tips. He took a lot of pride in his Sunday church shoes. We grew up in a mill town and not much money for extras. My dad worked hard but he loved dressing up for church. The rest of the week he wore work clothes. When it came to his dress shoes, they were off limits to anyone within 50 feet. On Saturday night, he would put on a mirror shine for the next day. If you even got close to those shoes, you would get a warning. To this day, I am like my dad. I never go out of my house with dirty shoes. Although most of the time I wear Allen Edmond boat shoes. But they do get cleaned and polished on a regular basis. You can't find shoes like the ones my daddy wore back in those days.
@Bedo's Leatherworks LLC Hey there Steve, I think I found a pair of these at my local Salvation Army Thrift Store today. I didn't buy them. I guess I will go back tomorrow and try to make sure, and if I can figure it out, I will buy them. So glad this video popped up in my feed tonight even though I had already watched it! You know how much I love the Florsheim Imperials too! But Royal Imperials... Gotta have them! Why don't they make these for women with this quality? I want a pair!!! Thanks so much Steve! I never get tired of watching you work on the vintage Florsheim shoes! Lisa
I went back today, and they are model 600460 a Size 10 D. they need new soles and heels. they have been half-soled at some point, but the uppers and insoles appear to be in quite good shape. I'm going to clean them with my Fiebings's Saddle Soap and give them a coat of conditioner. I don't know how to tell if a Florsheim brogue is an Imperial?
Your camerawork is superb especially the close-up stuff. It makes your work interesting and along with your easy flowing commentary keeps us fans glued (ha ha) till the end. Keep em coming.
I could not agree more about all decisions made about those classic shoes. Especially not dying the leather and leaving the patina. Thats the whole point of finding a restoring such gorgeous shoes. ❤️ I have a pair myself.
Work of art. Easily one of your very very best restorations. And maybe one of your oldest pairs ever worked on? Love the fact that these are 55 years old and that the customer valued them enough to get them restored. How lucky was it that you had an untouched/unrestored pair on hand to do a restoration accurate to what was done originally? The construction on these was top notch--I don't think even Florsheims that are 30 years old can compare to these (and never mind today's Florsheims). My dad loved the Florsheim brand best too--and he would have really enjoyed this video. Beautiful job Steve.
Steve, is that a pet running through at 28:20? I hope he isn't living off your leather... Love your banter and dexterity in creating components for the shoes you work on. Most cobblers don't do the detail work you do. Nice!
Wow! Steve you never cease to amaze...when one thinks they have seen it all, you step it up a notch...be seeing you soon. My Indys and another pair or two are awaiting your magic!
55 years old shoes? Man what a job! I like them in the way you refurbishing these as brand new. With that quality, up to the next 55 years. They will survive.
Hi Steve, I like your video's. Learned a lot from your video's about how shoes are made. These 55 year old shoes are really outstanding, incroyable you are a truth shoe artist.
I am 44 and my hands have shaken like yours do since I was about 6 years old. I am a welder and fabricator and it has NEVER effected my work. I am also a very good shot with a firearm and have been since my father taught me to hunt when I was young. It seems like it would be an inconvenience but it has never been.

I will never understand why people dislike these vids
Fantastic job on some handsome shoes. I'd be proud to wear them!
I have a pair of these gifted to me by my Dad in about 1982 that I’m thinking of sending you. Beautiful job.
Anytime you’re ready
We look forward to watching the job.
One of my chores when I was a kid was to shine my dad’s shoes. He had a pair almost exactly like these, as well. Brought back a lot of memories.
@@vagitarian68419 I wish I could have but 5minutes with my dad to tell him how much I appreciate everything he did for me.

I'm always amazed how craftsman like yourself can take something that almost looks like it's trashed and restore it back to life.
That's shoemaking already. What a cobbler!!! 😊
I love the look of the blue thread showing on the bottom.
Not sure how I ended up here but after binge watching your channel I am amazed and in ah of your work. Keep continuing sir!
Another award-worthy product by Steve our master cobbler, (aka Michael Angelo).
