This is the best shoe restoration I've seen so far. The creases from the vamp were gone after the wetting stage. I don't think that was an inexpensive job, but the outcome was fantastic.
I think the reason why we like watching these is to see someone who does something that they love to do and to know that there are still people doing things like this. I’m thinking of changing fields to maybe get that feeling, because at the end of the day, it would be nice to go to bed and be able to say that you did something that you love for a living
I've seen your other restoration video of another Allen Edmon shoes and it's just a treat to see you give a new lease in life to worn out shoes. Thanks for sharing.
*_Amazing work._* How could any customer not be delighted? I'm addicted to these videos. Watching a true professional work like this restores my faith in human nature. .
Dios mío 😮!! Men you are the men!!!!! You brought those shoes back from the death 💀. Shoes 👞 are alive😆. You are the best at what you do Keep the videos coming.
Steve it's so hard finding cobblers that think like you and have excellence and work ethics. Great to have trustworthy people in your work giving great help, priceless.
"Alright. Let's continue." The first pair of shoes I shined was my father's using Kiwi, horse hair brush, and a cotton rag. When I joined the Army, I learned how to mirror shine with Kiwi at bootcamp in Fort Benning, GA and even had fellow Soldiers trade their "fire guard" duties with mine just to shine their black boots. Recently, since watching your videos, I realized that I was shining dress shoes wrong. I never removed old wax, never used conditioner, and I would "cake" wax polish everywhere! To Steve and his staff: Thank you for teaching and explaining to the world how to properly treat our shoes and boots. I've sent you a pair of dress shoes recently. I can't wait to see how you and your staff will transform it. To all who reads this comment: Happy Veterans Day 2019!
Awesome video, I started to take a quick peek at the video at 12:30am and the next thing you know I watched the complete video. You do amazing work and are a true craftsman, after seeing all you do I would not mind paying more to get something I know is being cared for and getting great workmanship. Thank you so much for sharing this.
If you thought I wasn’t going to watch a 53 minute video from Steve at 7 o’clock in the morning you need to think again! I love you! Your work, your ethic.....your whole process is highly respected!
What an amazing restoration. The craftsmanship that you display is such a pleasure to watch. Your quote about if you don't love what you're doing do something else should apply to everyone. Thank you.
this is so satisfying to watch..................I just got home from work and I looooooooooooooeve watching you make the shoes from trash to treasure. thank you
I don't know how I ended up here and thought that there was no way it would interest me. Well, I was wrong. This is is so much more complex. it's very interesting watching something that is worn out become new again. Please keep making these video's.
Wow they’re beautiful. I was thinking that you should show the customers reaction when they come and get them. I’m sure they’re all pleased. If not, their loss. You do too notch work!
this is akin to therapy for peoples feet and for viewers minds, its good to spoil yourself with nice shoes . im watching all your vids, im just a guy on the other side of the planet who knows watching vids like yours are far better than tv and im learning things i would never have otherwise learnt. these videos are brilliant advertising for your business but for me i feel lucky to watch them. theres a common theme in every single comment on these videos, we all love your passion for this work. just had to say it , thats all.
I got no idea how this ended up in my recommendations list. Now I want to go out and buy a nice set of dress shoes just so I can bring them to you for a repair. Awesome work, there is always something rewarding about watching someone who takes pride in their work.
Your videos were recommended to me on my home page. Heavens know why I clicked on them but I have been here for an hour and three quaters watching you fix shoes. GRRRRRRR. interesting to know how it's done though.
I am not a Dress shoe kind of guy, I spend a lot of time in the deserts of Arizona, but I find your video very informative and interesting. I have been binge watching your videos for the past 3 nights. I have learn so much from your videos, Thank you for taking the time to teach us viewers.
We had a cobbler in my town of highland indiana he retired and closed down he tried to sell his business and teach some one the trade but no one of this generation would take him up on it I never knew how involved that trade was nothing but deep respect for you keep up the great work
I remember 60 years ago, even 50 years ago, shoe laces had a three month life. Nowadays shoe laces out live the shoes - unless, that is the shoes come to Bedo. Just fantastic these shoes can be given new life.
These videos are like soothing ASMR. And after it's over you're left with a beautiful restoration. Love your videos! Keep up the high quality and awesome content
Would love to see the reactions of the customers after they receive their refurbished products! Absolute joy in watching your craftsmanship, Mr. Steve!
Definitely would have opted for the higher quality leather heel. I have really learned a lot about the construction of quality shoes. Fantastic craftsmanship.
Wonderful, Inspirational video; I would love to see the faces of the owners when they see what have you accomplished! Giving old shoes a NEW life... Amazing!
I agree that this is one of your best transformations yet. The "before" shoes were a mess, but you've done your magic once again. The restored shoes look brand new! Keep the videos rolling!
With each video I watch from this library I fall more in love with your knowledge, techniques, craftsmanship, and pure love for what you do. Thank you for sharing this magic with us.
Nice work Steve. I am engaged in Shoe repair in Moscow. I learn a lot from your work. And by the way I like your machine for flashing soles. I've never met anyone like this.
Looks like he went to war with those shoes. I would doubt he’s ever used conditioner on those. I got a similar pair of AEs. Excellent work restoring those
Steve, what a terrific display of craftsmanship, your technic, and pride are apparent in your completed product. I hope your videos inspire more people to develop a skill and execute on a high level! We truly need to stop throwing most items out instead of restoring them! Louis S
Hell yeah, thanks for showing me the art. Just becoming a man (finishing school) and really starting to get interested in things like this. Thanks for sharing the detailed process.
I am a senior sap consultant with 22 years of professional experience. But would prefer to work for you at minimum wage for my last 13 years.!! Thank you for the videos. Best regards from switzerland!
Man those shoes look awesome now , I wouldn't have believe those were the same shoes if I hadn't see it for myself. Sir you do a great job on repairing shoes., I need you in my phone book
The videos are amazing. Lovely to see beautiful shoes repaired and given new life. As apposed to throwing them away. Steve you are an amazing craftsman!
I am really loving your videos. I have been playing with leather for about 4 years now. For the last year I have been consumed with shoe making. I would love to see you spend some time just doing videos about your equipment and work around for hobbyists like myself. If not, just keep making these shoe repair videos. They are great. Thanks for all you do.
It was nice to see you using the product you sell retail (dye) in your actual work. You make slicing off the sole look so easy (I would be missing several fingers, I'm sure). You often mention your material costs and the estimates you give your customers, so I would like to see more comparison of what a major restoration costs vs. just buying a new pair. Sometimes it seems impossible for you to be able to recover your implied labor cost. Thanks again for making these - they are fascinating!
You should start an amazon shop for your channel with the stuff you use. That way we get the benefit of knowing what really works and you get compensated for it.
I would also be interessted in the stuff you are using. Especially the parts without brandnames on it. Like Rendenbach....e.g.: what leather do you use for inside ...or are the nails/tacks standard brass nails?
An awesome 53min of educational video Steve. Enjoy every bit of it, especially “let’s continue” got stuck in my head now. :-). I thought AE charged $125 to recraft was high but after watched your video i have a second thought and admiration for the workmanship. Salute.
You are so right about some people in the trades not having any pride. I work in the automotive industry and I see it everyday. Take an extra minute and do it right the first time. When I hear someone say ('know one will see it') I know right then the type of workmanship I'm going to get. Keep up the great work.
I am not a mouth breather, but I sat through this video with my mouth open in amazement. This one left me gobsmacked: I never saw anyone give a shoe a "bath". And of course after you said not to do that to our shoes, well, I'll probably listen. No one could put in a book the things you know how to do; only experience teaches what you do. Thanks for the upload.
Watched every minute of the restoration. Steve you do amazing work, and you are to be congratulated. Thank you for sharing your craft with us. Truly amazing how well those Allan Edmonds turned out form the begining to the end. Your work is like no other.
That Restoration Was BRILLIANT! Reminds me of a Shoemaker's shop that I used to visit on Bedford Ave. In Brooklyn when I was a kid! I can still remember the sights, the smells and the sounds! You are an Amazing Craftsman!! Thank You for these GREAT Videos!
Considering how they looked when you got them. They look outstanding. You do some great work. It's a pleasure to watch you work. And sharing your craftsmanship with us. Absolutely stunning workmanship.
Steve thank you for your time and effort to show as your passion. You are true artist craftsman. Keep doing these videos they are very informative AND fascinating.
Every time I watch you do this I want to send you all my shoes to be resoled with those JR leather soles. Your work makes me want my Teva sandals Goodyear welted with JR leather soles!!!
I don't know how I ended up watching these videos, but here I am, two hours later. Reminds me of new Yankee workshop, except shoes.
This is the best shoe restoration I've seen so far. The creases from the vamp were gone after the wetting stage. I don't think that was an inexpensive job, but the outcome was fantastic.
I think the reason why we like watching these is to see someone who does something that they love to do and to know that there are still people doing things like this. I’m thinking of changing fields to maybe get that feeling, because at the end of the day, it would be nice to go to bed and be able to say that you did something that you love for a living
That's incredible. Wouldn't believe it was the same pair of shoes if it weren't for the video. Well done!
I've seen your other restoration video of another Allen Edmon shoes and it's just a treat to see you give a new lease in life to worn out shoes. Thanks for sharing.

It is very satisfying to someone take pride in their work and go the extra mile...I wish more people had this work ethic.
Dios mío 😮!! Men you are the men!!!!! You brought those shoes back from the death 💀. Shoes 👞 are alive😆. You are the best at what you do Keep the videos coming.
Steve it's so hard finding cobblers that think like you and have excellence and work ethics. Great to have trustworthy people in your work giving great help, priceless.
Another masterful job by Bedo's leather works!!! Exquisite work!!! Steve you are the Micheal Jordon of shoe restoration!!!
Never ceases to amaze me the before vs. after on these videos. WOW! Thanks for sharing!

Love to see the owners face when he see's them!
The soles look like wood grain design. BEAUTIFUL!
Steve I’m crippled and in pain this video makes my pain go away love the long detailed videos thanks so much for your time ‼️
What an amazing restoration. The craftsmanship that you display is such a pleasure to watch. Your quote about if you don't love what you're doing do something else should apply to everyone. Thank you.
Just incredible! I bet the customers reaction to their beautifully restored shoes makes all your hard work worth while.
Jo Stott absolutely 👍👍🙏🙏
man i love the way the Bick 4 makes my leather boots/shoes smell!
this is so satisfying to watch..................I just got home from work and I looooooooooooooeve watching you make the shoes from trash to treasure. thank you
This guy is so talented, it's amazing. They look better than a new pair.
Craftsmanship at it's finest...Koodos from Montreal! Sir, you are doing a great job!
I don't know how I ended up here and thought that there was no way it would interest me. Well, I was wrong. This is is so much more complex. it's very interesting watching something that is worn out become new again. Please keep making these video's.

with good work like that it's worth the money! Even if the shoes weren't that expensive to begin with, quality pays off in the repair.
Wow, they look amazing! I like the effect on the soles. It almost looks like mahogany.
this is akin to therapy for peoples feet and for viewers minds, its good to spoil yourself with nice shoes . im watching all your vids, im just a guy on the other side of the planet who knows watching vids like yours are far better than tv and im learning things i would never have otherwise learnt.

Great job! I like the way the soles came out. It looks a bit like wood. Very nice.
By doing the little things you don’t have to do tells everybody the kind of craftsman you are. Gentleman.👍🏻

Oh joy, a perfect way to spend a cold dark evening, thanks Steve!
We had a cobbler in my town of highland indiana he retired and closed down he tried to sell his business and teach some one the trade but no one of this generation would take him up on it I never knew how involved that trade was nothing but deep respect for you keep up the great work
Thats sad, so would’ve done it.

I'd like to see the customers reaction when he picks up the shoes. Great work as always.
I agree that this is one of your best transformations yet. The "before" shoes were a mess, but you've done your magic once again. The restored shoes look brand new! Keep the videos rolling!
I'm perfectly willing to pay for what you do. Just finding someone who does the job as well as you is a godsend.
That pattern on the bottom of the shoe and the finish is amazing!
Wow i’m impressed especially with the Allen Edmonds stamp!
another instance of a master at his profession.thank you Steve, for sharing your passion with the world....MH
53 minutes? I'm going to have to push back my tee time! Well worth it!!!

Nice work Steve. I am engaged in Shoe repair in Moscow. I learn a lot from your work. And by the way I like your machine for flashing soles. I've never met anyone like this.

Excellent work restoring those
Like a surgeon. Excellent craftsman.

We truly need to stop throwing most items out instead of restoring them! Louis S
I honestly love watching this video. It brings back pleasant memories growing up. This is truly a dying art, sadly. Semper Fi
Hell yeah, thanks for showing me the art. Just becoming a man (finishing school) and really starting to get interested in things like this. Thanks for sharing the detailed process.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
Thank you sir. I hope you got ten grand for all your hard work. Good day.....
Wow, you have your craft done to a science. You do absolutely fantastic work. Thank you so much for sharing.
Great video, as always. I love your philosophy and work ethic. I hope your customer liked the shoes as much as I do!
I really appreciate your craftsmanship. So cool!

Boo Quinco thank you 🙏
I agree 100%
I’m a nerd for this stuff. Honestly I’d pay just to hear this guy talk and practice his trade. Master craftsmen!!

Sitting by a roaring fire nice drop of whisky watching Steve doing what he does brilliant .

When I hear someone say ('know one will see it') I know right then the type of workmanship I'm going to get. Keep up the great work.
Brian * no one
The level of education or lack thereof in this world never ceases to amaze me
nice to know that master craftsmen still exist
Another excellent video. I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thank you.
