- In this video, we give this pair of Allen Edmonds Strand cap toe oxfords a makeover. A customer mailed these in to us to be refurbished. He requested they simply be resoled, but we took it further than that. After this refurbishment, we think he'll be pleased.

It's 10am, in lockdown and I'm sitting in front of my computer watching some guys fix a pair of old shoes. A LIFE WELL SPENT!
Life is good
Its freaking AWESOME!! I wish I could do something like this. The transformations are unbelievable. You guys RULE!!
Your watching this from prison?
I think he got his moneys worth out of them. Keep up the great work guys.
Thank you very much!
@@TrentonHeath Your welcome. GOD bless.
The sounds in these videos is what keeps me coming back tbh. The cracking of the glue, the Stanley knife through stitches, even the sound the shoe mount makes when it moves around is so satisfying.
Guys---in all your videos your treatments and re-doing of shoes are so precise and exact with little or no mistakes. I would love to see a blooper or gag reel of some of the accidents you have to deal with . Again, thanks for your channel !!
😂. Thank you very much!
Basically, this video just captured why well built, well made shoes are worth the investment. They can be brought back from death’s doorstep by professionals like T&H and start a whole new chapter of wear (and journeys). Fine work, as always.
Thank you very much, John!
Well that was hella satisfying to watch!
I particularly enjoyed the hot cork (Oatmeal) application. Thanks Guys 👍🏼👍🏼
George White Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We appreciate you watching.
yeah me too
Looks like peanut butter to me. Nice work. Pls keep them coming. This length is very easy to justify. Thank you.
@@motorwiz2002 Boy, you must be into the ULTIMATE super chunky peanut butter!!😎

Don’t know if you read comments but I wanted to let you know I stumbled upon your videos recently and been watching almost daily . Your videos truly help , I’m struggling with depression I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor I’m 4 years in remission but now my wife’s having some health issues and your videos are an escape from the hell that life has seemed to create for me . So thank you 🙏
New to the channel and this is the video I was waiting to see. A complete tear down and rebuild. I yelled "no you're not!" when Heath said he was going to make new welts for these shoes. Then, to top it off he flippin' hand sews them on! OMG! That's some real craftsmanship right there. Complete admiration and respect for the artistry and skill involved in bringing these shoes back to life. Bravo gentlemen, BRAVO!
I’m amazed at how skilled you guys are. You’re truly artisans. Thank you for sharing this restoration with us.
Great work on these. Hand stitching that welt is no joke!
Something I just thought of: It would be really cool if you guys were occasionally able to get a video from your clients of them unboxing/trying on/reacting to receiving their reconditioned shoes. It think it would add a really nice, even more personal element to these videos. Y’all put a lot of love and care into these shoes, so it would be really cool to see that translate to the person that owns them. Just a thought 😉
Nick Topits Awesome idea! Thank you for that. We are definitely going to do that!
I have a pair of Allan Edmonds wing tips sitting in a pair of cedar shoe trees. My mother gave them to me for my 40th birthday and they are in great condition. Oh..and I am 73 years old. You guys do skilled craftsman type of work.
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that in several months we’ll be seeing Heath with a waxed and curled mustachio. After that he’ll definitely be riding a giant front wheel bicycle.
😂
@@TrentonHeath or maybe a Hawaii shirt and a red Ferrari???
I was thinking the same thing....looks like he double- parked his bi-plane.....
you just game him the idea XD
Top hat coming too?
Man that canned hot cork looks like a treat! Almost like smearing a granola bar.
Frithjof Silden 😁
What does the burning cork smell like?
@@clubdemagiedemontreal It smells a lot like burning cork. You need a special tool to absorb those acrid fumes: The Cork Sucker...
Arthur Kurtz I had one of those once. She moved back with her sister...
It looks like a Clif bar
The brother in charge of repairs looks more and more like “Goose” from Top Gun
dammit! they're brothers?! well.. there goes my ten bucks..
@@bgttgb100 I assumed they were married *shrug*
@@bgttgb100 LOL SAME
Wow!!! I could have used a little voice over telling me what was going on, but overall this is the video I've been waiting to see! If there is a CZcams equivalent to a Golden Globe or Emmy I think this video should be nominated. So educational and what a result!!! Huge thumbs up!!!!
Thank you so very much! You’re too kind!
It's so peculiar seeing you guys with sooo much space in your new digs. This dude is lucky to have you guys rebuild his shoes. Haven't seen ironing the oatmeal before... :D
Nice job as always Mr Potter (the elder) and Mr Potter (the younger) with split duties 👍🏻
Thank you so much! It was a fun job!
So lucky!!
Allen Edmond is not cheap. Very nice job. I'm an artist by trade. You 2 are artists of a totally different kind. Love watching you both.
It doesn't matter what you do - all it matters how you do it - how good you are at it. Fantastic job gentlemen.
Really appreciate how approachable you make the shoe repair process and cobblers in general. I’ve actually passed on going to a few local shoe repair shops because the vibe I got made me feel like they didn’t even want me in the building. Thanks for all your video’s and the level of detail you provide on the process, I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos.
It is a pure joy to see true craftsmen at work. Please keep the videos coming.
BIG thumbs-up given. It was reassuring and a pleasure to see you two bring your hallmark skill, care, and attention to detail to this pair of shoes in your new location. I was a little concerned about the move, worried that in bigger digs, Potter & Sons would somehow lose some of the magic that has made me a big fan of your business. I see now there was no need for worry. I hope to be sending you a first pair of shoes to work on in the near future. You've taught me so much over the past year. Thank you for that.
Thank you very much for watching our videos!
Back in black..I'm on track, it's really good to be back. Walk on, walk on.
I am so thankful for these videos,but not only because of the fine content provided. For watching the level of quality you gentlemen put into your craft. It motivates me to accept nothing leas than the best in the work I do. Thank you for that motivation.
With all of the hand work by expert craftsmen, I can't imagine it wouldn't be more cost effective to just buy a new pair of shoes. BUT it's great to experience the work of such talented craftspeople.
I've bought your products and watched your videos, being bedridden I don't walk much anymore but I enjoy seeing skilled craftsmen at their job. Thanks 😁
"Good" shoes in, "Great" shoes out with a master's level course in shoe repair with 2 true craftsmen who are obviously passionate about what they do. If it gets better than this I cannot imagine how. A pleasure to watch you guys in action. Please keep it up.
You guy's deserve way more followers than what you have really enjoy your guy's videos thanks for taking the time to do this for everyone to watch
These video with destroyed shoes are the best. Fantastic job !
Thank you very much!
The sound of those stitches being snipped is SO satisfying!
By far, the most dramatic shoe makeover I have ever seen. You guys are magicians!
Thank you so very much!
I don't see myself ever owning this style of shoes but I sure as hell enjoy seeing you 2 working on them. Thanks CZcams suggestions
Thank you very much!
This one has it all! I've watched nearly all of your videos, looking for the one I can share with family and friends to let them see "hot cork time", hand stitching a handmade welt, fully revitalizing a tired leather upper, machine stitching the sole, and even cutting that little corner out of the heel. It's great to see this kind of skill and craftsmanship as you make something old, new again.
Thank you so very much! It was a fun job!
It is not a simple restoration of the sole, but a rebirth.
Nice job !
Yay! It’s that time again.
I know I'm late on this but, I like the moustache a lot!
I don't know why I watch this channel. I'm not a man, don't have a man, don't ever dress up and I live in sneakers or am barefoot indoors.
But I just like watching you guys work!
OMG! Rescued from death’s door. Beautiful New Shoes!! Thanks guys.
When I watch these amazing videos, I feel like I'm hanging out in my grandpa's workshop. Great memories 🙌♡
Awesome memories, I’m sure!
SNL original cast shout-out: GIMME SOME OOOAAATS! Also, TEAM STASHE STRONG. Nice work!
😂
Gorgeous !!! Beautiful Job!!!
Let me grab that coffee real quick... Perfect start to a Sunday morning! Great work and great video as always!!!
nodieusa Thank you very much! Enjoy the coffee and the day.
BEAUTIFUL WORK!
Gorgeous work!
It seems your new shop is set up in a way that facilitates making videos as well as making and repairing shoes, thank you for that.
GB
Thank you very much! We love it.
I love seeing the complete rebuild videos the best.
I sit here every sunday morning in S.Island,New Zealand,watching shoes/boots being repaired.
Bloody interesting.
Thanks guys.
True craftsmen. Great video
Always enjoy watching your videos. Very therapeutic and comforting. Trying to get my sons to watch these as well. Thank you for what you do and please continue. God bless
Thank you very much!
Great job, guys!
You are both true master craftsmen!
You guys are the best. Great work.
Yay! The intro music is back again!
Beautiful job!!
Great work! Last time I had my Strands serviced, my local cobbler put Goodyear top lifts or heel pads on. Next time they (or my Park Avenues) need work, they are coming to TN! I'll drive 'em over and spend some time at Lenny Magill's new place over there. Perhaps I'll have the pleasure of picking up, in person, a couple of sets of candidate footgear by then?!!
Come on down!
These guys work with lots of good light - smart. Amazing transformation.
You guys are so passionate about what you do and it shows. Really nice job
Great workmanship gentlemen I’m very impressed.
Beautiful work Guys...As always
Pride in craftsmanship. Well done gentlemen.
Fantastic job once again
Amazing the work you guys do!!
Thank you very much!
I love to hear the sounds of the equipment there. My fav is probably Heath doing a welt, lol.
Another fantastic video guys, loving the moustaches too.
This may be a question for a Q&A video. What do you do with all the scrap leather from trimming down the leather pieces? It seems like a lot of waste.
Some we save for scrap pieces, but mostly discarded.
I enjoyed seeing the welt construction. Thanks for showing this significant restoration.
Why is it so damn satisfying watching shoes being rebuilt??? ;) Keep up the great work!
Loved watching you make the new welt and ironing the oatmeal was pretty cool as well. This is one lucky guy...those shoes are better than new!
I'm impressed at the level of use this gent got from his shoes 😂 as usual, I am sat here dumbfounded by how good the final product is. Especially considering how battered they arrived!
By the way, Heath... The moustache is working for me 😏😂
Thank you very much! 😉
Yay!!!! What a good sunday! Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful and skilled work!!! Respect!
Thank you very much!
Great, watching it now! Love these restoration videos...
Wow. Well done, as usual. Love the upgrades!
Lovely job.
Awesome Channel, so glad I found it. You Gentlemen are both masters of your craft and offer great advice on care and repair.
Top notch work gentlemen. I’m really digging the new shop. Also, Heath keep rocking the stash my man!
Amazing work guys 👏👏
Another great overhaul!
Those look fantastic! Another fine job gents!
Thank you very much!
Great craftsmanship and neato machines!
EOCostello Thank you very much!
I love watching and listening to people who are really really good at what they do. You sirs, are really really good at what you do. If my boots ever need re-soling, I'm mailing 'em across the world to get 'em done by you guys. Phenomenal stuff.
Thank you so much, Julian!
Another spectacular job! They look better than new! And glad to see that Heath's stache game is still strong! Looks really good!
Thank you very much! 😉
Excellent video, love the new work space!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely amazing job guys. They look fantastic. I bet he can't wait to put them on, I know I couldn't wait.
Can’t wait!
First time seeing the hot cork done. Really cool!
Hey guys, another awesome video! I enjoyed seeing the custom welt being made, I've seen restitching of an existing welt but not one hand made and stitched for the first time. I also don't remember seeing a sanding block being used so that was nice too. Customers certainly get their money's worth having their shoes repaired by you guys!
I am always amazed how you are able to repair these shoes.
Awesome! This is like the perfect restoration, complete, faithful to the original but with upgrades! Keep up the great work!
Guido Donzelli Thank you very much!
I appreciate the craft.
video quality improved! great job guys!
Such a fabulous rebuild more like better than new .
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work guys, keep up the Great Work
Thank you very much!
Always enjoy watching masters at their craft
Thank you very much!
That hot cork process was great!
Super awesome, your videos are super soothing. Appreciate the craftsmanship and how you explain why you are doing certain steps.
Thank you very much!
Absolutely fabulous job brought those shoes to a back to new condition.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful video guys - real highlight for my Monday morning down here. Really liking the new angles in the new workspace.
Thank you so very much!
Amazing work.
Well done, I love your work.
Well done on another fantastic video gentlemen! I hope that the channel continues to go from strength to strength.
Thank you so very much!
I love watching them cobble shoes.
Thank you very much! ❤️
One of my favorite channels on YT. I recently bought to Allen E shoes since they are on sale and I can't wait to wear them down to send them off to you all. Heath, your mustache reminds me of the one John Holmes had
Outstanding job guys! *thumbs up*
Thank you very much!
