- These are beautiful shoes, unfortunately the toe counter was a bit messed up. We had to figure out to do something before the crease would get worse so I took it apart and reinforced the toe counter. Then added flat welt, leather midsoles, Jr soles, leather heel base and dovetail heels. Customer wanted the wood grain finish. I think they turned out great.

Great video. You transformed a factory made shoe (with a flaw) into a custom, handmade classic for the customer. You added strength, durability and value to the shoe. The customer most certainly got his money's worth.
I wonder if the original dude who complained about the hammering is still watching. You’ve been torturing him for YEARS! 😂
It's hammer time.
I bet that dude was “hammered” when he complained. 😂
14 YEARS!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fantastic work on a beautiful pair of shoes. 👍
I actually remember that video and would love to listen to the rant one more time but can’t find it. Does anyone know the title of that video?
Steve when you were tapping in the toe counter you looked just like your dad sitting on the stool in your company logo, loved this video and keep em coming.
In my not always humble opinion, you have impeccable taste in your chosen skill. That is really impressive work Steve. On a lighter note I know sometimes you do Dad jokes. I just heard a Chuck Norris joke I hadn’t heard before. When Chuck Norris was born he drove his Mom home from the hospital. Thanks, Steve!
About bird seed, I learned that using black oil sunflower seeds will bring a better variety of birds and not so many sparrows that will dominate the the seeds and keep other birds away. I learned this while recovering from a near fatal accident and enjoyed watching my feeder and sparrows driving other birds away my wife’s mom an avid bird watcher told me about it and it worked. I have watch many cobblers videos and none compare to yours I think it is because of your personality and positive attitude especially when you change your voice to imitate a troll’s comment, it cracks me up every time 👍
It's cool the community is so small that you all.know each other
When your feet are size 13D, your choice of shoes is limited. Fixing a pair that fit well is worth the price. Great job.
Not to mention that if the guy bought a new pair instead, he may end up with the same or another problem. Now he can be 100% confident that those shoes are top notch in and out because the maestro himself worked on them and gave them the thumbs up clean bill of health.
If the shoe is still under warranty, I wonder if the manufacturer will cover Bedo’s bill. I mean he has proof that the job was well done.
Also…how often does AE even offer navy shell cordovan? These are not readily available.
@@darensamuels5208 if you are an AE collector.... through the company they do truck shows and special collection from time to time with special builds.
OLD Leather Smith here, great job as always Steve. Just 1 suggestion, I use a blush brush 4 my soul painting you only have 2 do it once instead of 3 times, just dip the brush in your 3 different colors. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾🙃
Another one! Although you couldn’t tell what you did to to the average person, those are absolutely incredible!
41 minutes of Steve awesomeness. 👍 Just gonna kick back and chill and enjoy. Cheers from ‘Straya 😅
Now that's my kind of rebuild! The addition of a mid-sole of substance! Love the layer of denim to bridge the gemming, and how you incorporated that into the gemming/upper/welt stitching. Very nice detail! Also love the upgrade to stacked leather and the combi top lift you put on it. The only thing missing (in my book) would be some Lulus. Gorgeous hoof-covers, even before your touch. Nice/tight spi on the stitching and the color matching bottom thread. Very nice. Trimming wheel and decorative edging work just makes it pop!!
Yup, treat yourself to a nice breakfast sammich on a day you're working on a nice pair of hoof-covers!
Have a pleasant Memorial Day weekend, God bless those who have loved ones who gave all, and sincere gratitude to those who gave it all.
Hey man! Next time you go to Panera, can you say, "Sandwich time!" 😂😂 The shoes look phenomenal, excellent work!
😎👍
This isn’t a shoe repair it’s a surgery.
Also, props to Dr. Steve for swinging his leg up on the counter on the first shot. Still got it baby!
I would have never imagined I would get excited to watch a shoe repair video. Thanks Steve!
Only one word...Spectacular.
A fine cobbler is so hard to find. You are an artist.
These blue AE and the Florsheim imperials are.my favorite .
had a buddy from Falls Church,never knew it was that big a town. nice i like that
Стив, как всегда отличная переделка, работа настоящего Мастера и профессионала! Жму руку 🤝🤗
Exquisite. An awesome jobs again, and an amazing shoe. 👍🏼
Thanks Bob
WOW! What a beautiful job you've done. Like Factory New, but you saved that beautiful pair of flawed Cordovan shoes. Thank you for a wonderful video! I happen to be an Allen Edmonds fan and a Collector. Cheers!
Absolutely awesome craftsmanship as usual Maestro! 👌🏻
I've seen a lot of beautiful shoes on this channel. These are right up there with the best.
I love how much Steve appreciates his feathered friends 🦢…what a privilege to be serenaded in the morning by your neighbors ♥️♥️♥️
I'm glad I found your channel again! Don't know why but I got unsubscribed. Primetime hammer time back on!
Man i just love your work its beautiful. Your Art is genuinely top quality been watching your channel since 2017 and let me tell you something i have not seen this quality workmanship. It will be an honor to get a shoe repaired from you whenever i can afford one until then let others ultilize that
Good morning Steve! So glad i could have coffee with you this morning. Great video as always. Beautiful shoes.
Alright! This is gonna be a good one!!!
What you do is perfect. Your videos inspire me to be a better shoemaker. I greet you from Poland.
Wow der Schuh ist toll geworden!!! I love it!😂❤
way better than the original, those shoes are going to live forever.
All I can say is AWESOME! Thanks Steve. Glad you took my advice on feeding the birds..🐦
YES! ❤ great video Steve! I loved this. This is what I call an “old school” Bedos video. One that shows us everything in depth, but still has time for a side digression. Thank you
Great job Steve 👍
Thanks for the field trip to Panera. That was fun!
More great work young Man regards from England
Nice work as always. For me as an amateur, your videos are great tutorials!
I did a similar project, but didn´t bother to remove the sole and heel completly. I bought a new pair of Red Wing 2972 Engineer Boots at a bargain price, but wanted to get rid of the steel toe caps. So I cut the outsole stiches only in the front part of the boots and folded the rubber sole back. Carefully took the welt, insole and uppers apart until I could remove the steel toe cap from between the uppers and the lining. I used the same material you did, called Flexan over here and moulded it around the steel toe caps, so the new lightweight ones had exactly the same size and shape. Stitched everything carefully together again, some new cork putty, boots look like they have never been touched.
I love the way you always upgrade the material to premium leather rather than the factory fiber-board that is definitely an inferior product. Good people and men with integrity do things the right way when no one else would know the difference. Wow the extra mile making it meticulously perfect. A true artist.
Top work Steve, 10/10 👌
you are an artisan master
Just started watching this video, and Hammer Time came on the radio ...
That navy blue against the polished edge of the soles and heels really has a kind of bloom rather than a pop. Very natural but still eye catching. Its how classics are born!
Absolutely!!!
Nice job brother. A real craftsmen. I drive past the factory in Port Washington twice a week or so.😎
Steve O , the shoes and the job you did were breath taking to watch . Loved the Video Thanks
Epic restoration! Happy Saturday from Ireland 🇮🇪😎👍
Killed it Steve as always! This craft is so natural to you it looks easy! Hammer Time!! 🔨
I love the little edge lip on the sole. Classy.
Well done.Much better than the work of Allen Edmonds
Love how you gave a shout out to Trent and Heath, you and them are the best shoe repair CZcamsrs out there, and only 2 I've been watching for years, both you guys are amazing educators for us enthusiasts, thanks for all this free content Steve you rock brother!
Hardest part of being a cobbler. Tearing apart perfect shoes and unhappy customers. But this isn't no regular cobbler. This is Steve from bedo's lether works. Masterpieces come from Steve watch. Can we sharpen the blade one time Steve. Love it. Thank you for sharing with us today. As always much love and God bless.
Just amazing Steve. Pure art! You should sell one day or weekly excursions to just sit in the shop and watch you work!
These are some of the most beautiful shoes I have ever seen ❤️
I am continually amazed at your artistry.
Allen Edmonds used to use leather toe and heel counters in their.premium shell cordovan shoes, now they switched to celastic. Same thing for the heel block, used to be stacked leather now it's compressed particle board. Things are going downhill fast. Nice shows though!
Another example of an artist at work! I truly enjoyed this video, the saving of a great pair of shoes.
No doubt about it. Beefed up yet classic elegant. A nice suit now, to go with them.
I have had similar issues before, with leather work boots. The shoes are likely too long for the feet and too narrow because client needs a wider fit. Food for thought in the future...
Good morning Steve .Wonderfull job in The Wonderfull shoes GREAT details for a man WITH like 🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Steve! You are the amazingly best shoe repair, dude! You are a leather artist. ❤🥰
Thanks for the great videos, Steve. ❤ And the HAMMER TIME! 🥰🥰🥰 My absolute favorite! 😊
Ok I just watched the master at work those are really beautiful shoes and now they really look kick ass. Oh I really like the quote of the day. I'll be using that at work...DAM GOOD JOB..
Absolutely outstanding!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
Oh man, I love these shoes. I almost got a pair just like this at auction, but I didn't bid high enough and got outbid at the last minute.
Something about watch you do your art inspires me to get out into my shop and create. Thanks for the inspiration. Beautiful job👍👍
Great stuff as usual El Stevo!!
Beautiful work Steve let’s continue 👍.
Yes, this is aerobatics!👍👍👍
Love the channel. You are a true master. It would be great if you consider just doing a video explaining the tools and adhesives etc. involved in your work.
Great seeing the job from the tear down to completion again done in the Steve Bedo way. Excellent video Steve. Shine on bro
Steve you really are amazing at what you do , thanks for sharing your talents with us . Another beautiful job !
Masterful work Steve! Beautiful!

Holy shit. That demonstration on the creasing on the broguing is exactly what's happening on my AE Daltons in shell (which, admittedly, were an eBay purchase, but arrived practically NIB, not marked as factory seconds, and barely even worn let alone broken in). I just gave the toes a good squeeze, and there is NOTHING supporting the left toe. I can accept a certain error rate with things like sole stitching being a bit out of line (that's bound to happen when something is mass produced on an assembly line-type process), but this feels like a basic element of construction that should have 0 tolerance. I guess AE really has faltered...
They look better than original. LOL
Incredible work as always, beautiful works of art.
Great tutorial on how you went about this repair Steve, thanks for sharing!
Outstanding work, Steve, both with the shoes and the video! I'll have to get a detailed report from the customer on these.
No one is perfect but some do things perfectly! Bravo, Monsieur le maître-cordonnier !
Why would the customer not return the shoe to AE, and have them correct their mistake?? Perhaps it was damaged by the owner of the shoes?? Dunno?? I'm sure that Steve has done a far superior and professional repair !!!! Looking good.
Beautiful work Steve, only the best from bedos😊😊😊😊😊
Can really see the differences with the before and after pictures of the toe area. Nice👍🏻 love the 2 tone color in soles. Classy. Nice mustache
Simply one word. Amazing work. *Gorgeous.
"Hey man" this video was awesome! What a good looking pair of shoes that ended up looking even better than new.
Hi, I am from the Las Vegas Gaming committee and this my colleague from the Las Vegas Footbed committee!
Loved the time lapse on the stitching, it really brings home what it takes to do that!!!
Just excellent again Steve love these shoes great paint job on the sole and love contrast on the sole edge ❤
Awesome job Steve!! Supreme Craftsmanship!!
Fascinating and awesome. You are awesome. True artist
Not bad Steve and coming from a yorkshire man that's high praise as we are known to be a bit mean with the compliments, great job
What a beautiful job and yes beautiful shoes. ❤
Beautiful work! 👍
Beautiful shoes. You do great work.
Just beautiful Steve. What a craftsman you surely are!! Wish they made Indy boots for women!
My friend you are very stylish and talented 👍🥂✊🏻❤️
And I forgot picante!
As my grandmother would say "those are some jim dandy shoes"!!!
very nice steve look better now than when U started.
Excellent work Steve! 👍
Great to see a new video. You have inspired me to start caring for my boots and leather items more regularly. I read somewhere that one of the first things people look when meeting people is their shoes. I recall in the military our shoes and boots look was very important along with our bed being made perfectly. I think all young people should serve a minimum of basic training and advanced training after graduation to teach how equal people like I did.
What a beautiful job
Such a satisfying and beautiful job. That man will be so put together.
Beautiful!
Of course I have noticed your hand tremors I have the same problem and the older I get (79) the worse they shake. Well I finally asked my doctor if there was any meds to help and she wrote me a prescription for Propranolol 3 a day and my tremors have stopped completely. Do with it what you will, love your videos.
🤯 Beautiful artwork. 💯 🔥
Mr.Bedo you are a fantastic artist. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡
