    These shoes were dropped off at a different shop, after ripping off the old half sole without any care, they took the welt with it on both shoes. The shop not knowing how to properly welt shoes ,the customer dropped them into me.
    Thanks for watching!

    Another restoration that just shows if you thought your shoes were beyond repair, you thought wrong! Loved the shoes before and after at the end and the view of one finished next to one still be done, stunning! Keep up the great work dude!

    1st. Step -> Shoe Tree ALWAYS
    2nd. Step -> Water them down to take away the wrinkles, spray well & wipe down. Let Completely Dry...
    Note* Then exactly what you did, the only small drawback at the beginning will be waiting for the shoes to dry!

    Your work looks good, but maybe you could explain why you use particular products and methods. Are products only available in your area? Are wood shanks the preferred material where you are, or are steel shanks not available? These are just a few questions people might like answered.

      @@CobblerG Using Renovateur is far more important than using mirror gloss! If you can't afford Saphir creams, use BdeC. The wax you use doesn't matter if the shoes aren't properly conditioned!

    I noticed you clean and prep the leather part first before resole, is it a preference or a technical choice? (I know nothing about cobbler just going down a rabbit hole of binge watching shoe restoration vids lol)

    New Subscriber and I must commend you Sir on your Work.😮Simply Superb what you can do to a Decent pair of Shoes that looked at least to me to be ready for Tuesdays Recycle Bin collection.
    An Artist at work and So enjoyable to watch.👏👏👏👏👍👞
    I Personally wear Oliver Sweeney Square Toe Chelsea Shoes having wide feet and trying to get or even find a decent Cobbler up here in Hebburn to Work on them is a Nightmare.
    I do wish you were close to me as I’ve about 7 pairs that would definitely keep you busy😜
    I’ve considered returning them to Oliver Sweeneys Resole Service but £130 is not cheap considering I can pick a pair the same up on Fleabay for around £30 with decent soles and heels.
    I must ask if it’s ok but I have a yellow Tan coloured pair I would prefer to be Dark Brown if at all possible and can this be colour change be done at home and using what?

      Whatsup brother! Thanks for your recent comments and questions, glad you are enjoying the content and the work! Sounds like you have a nice collection of shoes!
      As for the shoes you want to change colour, a good dye product called feibings leather dye is perfect for what you want to achieve. they have a bunch of colours to choose from and it could easily be done from home. A few coats of a new dye colour would allow you to change them how you want!
      Thanks for watching brother

    Nice Video the editing is absolutely great love the cuts and the slow mo.
    I would personally prefer less of the music and more of the natural sound of the work as I find that really relaxing and the music distracts rather than adds to the experience. Sound would also benefit from a little more balancing as the volume varies a lot at point in the video.
    Looking forward to seeing more :) 405
