  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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 😉

    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.

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.
