Dan I am absolutely blown away! Can’t wait to make the 240 mile journey to collect and get wearing them😊 After watching your previous videos I just had to trust you to perform your magic and give the 20yr old Barkers a new lease of life and what a beautiful makeover of my favourite Chelsea boots, I’m speechless, they are STUNNING!!!..THANK YOU!!!! See you in the New Year Dan, to collect and leave with you a couple more pairs that I’d love you to freestyle rejuvenate. Merry Christmas to you and your family Regards Stu

Seriously?! Someone actually complained about you whistling in the comments??? I respect your easy-going nature. Keep it up just the way you film it! Merry Christmas!

It's nice to see a real shoe cobbler that puts work and effort into getting the job done right. Now you see so many people trying to do shoe repair and they take the shortcuts. What you do Dan is real art and craftman ship.

I love that he doesn't care about the negative comments. No one has any right to tell him what is or isn't professional. Love learning about the art of shoe repair, and this guy does a great job of making it interesting while also entertaining and fun. Whistle away!!

Did anyone else randomly come across these video's and now all of a sudden you find your self so interested in shoe repair now?

My little daughter just loves the catch phrase "let's get sticky!" She gets a kick out of it every time and is always looking for Ron

Keep whistling while you work. Keep singing while you work. It makes the workday brighter.

This guys attitude just makes me feel better about the day

sitting here on christmas eve with my single malt and a bowl of cashews watching my fav cobbler do his thing - my christmas present for you - a famous cobbler pun from Shakespeare - not your Hamlet alas - but a worthy runner-up: Julius Caesar. "What trade are you? Truly, sir, in respect of a fine workman, I am but, as you would say, a cobbler." Shakespeare: Julius Caesar Act 1 Scene 1

Bro, I love how really you are. “This is a shoe repair shop, not a coffee house.”

British snark is the best snark. Absolutely one of, if not the, top British exports. Go on n whistle, eff the haters. Not professional smh who tf are they to tell *you* how to run *your* business? Honestly, nerve of some people. Sheesh.

Hello. I am a technician in industrial automation, I have not the slightest connection with your profession, I am not going to change my profession at almost 60 years old and given the distance between us, I have no way to become your client. But I have a passion, that of following various channels of various craftsmen in various fields that often have nothing to do with my profession. I have always had a deep respect for those craftsmen who practice with passion and dedication for their profession. After watching your posts for a while, I came to the conclusion that you are part of this category of craftsmen, so for some time now you have another subscriber. Congratulations on your work and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

That airbrushed script on the sole is very cool. I sometimes get so engrossed with watching the repair that I get surprised when Ron is off in the background like this pink dot lol. Those outtakes Dan are hilarious. Oh and Happy Holidays 🎄

I've never seen or knew art like this was able to be done to old boots. You should be very proud of your work and skills.

"Just whistle while you work" - Is a great song and great mantra!!! Keep it up!

That sole design is fantastic. I am sure the owner will enjoy wearing his boots. Great work Dan.

Merry Christmas, Dan. Hope you have a splendid Christmas yourself. As far as whistling? It's your shop, you get to set what is professional and what is not. BTW beautiful repairs. Cheers.

How you feel about stitch pulling is the same way I feel about painting. It’s my moments of zen, time to chill and relax

The channel just won't be the same without that famous JR leather sole. I will try to prepare myself for the change. Keep whistling.

That stencil is so cool! For what it's worth, I definitely appreciate the whistling and random singing throughout the video. It adds a nice element to the videos and really captures your personality. 😊

Classic one liner “Jerk Off, reminds me of an old girlfriend” ! Priceless 😂

Love watching you work Dan and the whistling is the icing on the cake😁 Merry Christmas and take care, thanks for these absorbing videos, you’re a master cobbler for sure ☕️

Awesome. Really like that pattern on the sole

The noise the stitching machine makes is engineering at its finest 👌

First of all, great pair of boots. Was excited to see how you did the design on the soles. As for the coffee vs milk debate, I add my milk first. I like adding the milk and letting it sit in the cop for 15-20 mins to get a little warmer to keep the coffee hot. Just a personal preference, but have added it after the coffee as well. I didn’t know it was such an area of contention for some people. Crazy what grinds peoples gears. Keep up the entertaining videos.

that last bit was really in depth 🤣 is there something you know that we don't? 🤔 have your cats been telling you their plan for world domination?

You know you're popular and well liked when there's nothing left to say but negativity keep up the good work Dan you are amazing person don't let the nay sayers get to ya

thank you very much for all you on your video! Merry Christmas

dan your bloody good at what u do !!

My favourite part of Christmas is Christmas lunch too. I like helping Mum put everything together, all us girls get in the kitchen and cook together. It's really nice 😊 I mean eating and drinking with the family and friends is lovely too, but I like cooking more I guess and getting to see everyone enjoy themselves 😁👩‍🍳🎄 7:12 You know, you do often say you're a big kid. I think it's great you can have fun with your work 😜 It's really great that you can bring joy to people around the world 😊

My favorite part of Christmas….I can’t choose one thing. I love it all, the lights, the music, the warm clothes, gift wrapping, lots of baking. My list can go on and on. I grew up very poor and so I appreciate all of it.

I've got a sickness. The only cure is shoe repair and shoe care products , and a little work whistle. My new favorite channel. Coffee is coffee when you've got work to do.

Dan, you’re work is incredible man. So much pride and talent in your work.

What a joy to listen to you: you have a “natural” gift for teaching! Bravo, because thanks to your videos, we learn lots of things! Thanks to you Dan!!!👌😍💫🥂

Merry Christmas, looking forward to what you have for us in 2022

I'm amazed at the skill that goes into the blind stitch sole . Fantastic job done 👌. Merry Christmas Dan 🎅

Your shop, your YT channel! Whistle away! That's why we have free choice: we can stay or we can leave if the whistling is a bother! Me? I'm glad I can still hear you! Don't know how long that's gonna last! Whistle while you work!!

Always impressed with your work Dan ! Here in USA it’s a different attitude on the shoe repair . I was a construction worker and work boots were my life haha….when we wear them out,their not worth rebuilding especially in concrete work .always wet and in the lime , they rot in one season,and that’s with rotation to let them dry .But I’m impressed with your work and the UK way ,,,keep up the good work…. ( I own 1 pair of shoes, for special events ,and several pair of sneakers….). I know your smiling now ….

Merry Christmas 🎄 And a happy and prosperous New Year !

Beautiful work as usual. I love watching you and the Trenton & Heath channel repair shoes.

It is such a joy to see a craftsman at work. Until I started watching your videos I had no idea that there could be so much involved in a shoe repair. However, whilst you previously caused a storm over if the milk goes in to the coffee before or after the water, I fear you risk further despair by using the wet spoon from stirring the coffee to plunge into the bag of sugar. A sure way of getting the sugar clumpy!

The ray gun impression was spot on - what a great Christmas gift. You were definitely a sheep and not a shepherd.

Cant believe ppl complain about whistling and then coffee. Dan do what make u happy. That's all that matters

I love the passion that you put into your work. Keep it up

I like how his cobbler elves take down the internet trolls. I ain’t whistling Dixie either.

Merry Christmas Dan! Thanks for bringing joy to the world through your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

Still using JR leather. I assume its a big loss to the cobbling industry the company going under. I've caught myself looking for it in cobbler shop windows haha.

Your work is beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I have a local cobbler in my town and love going into the shop, that smell just warms my soul. Christmas Eve, when everyone is gone to sleep, just sitting in the light of tree and thinking about the day to come. For coffee, one word, “Aeropress”. Anything to be done, deserves being done properly.

two favourites... family together and carols

Why did imagining Dan in a sheep costume make me laugh so hard? Merry Christmas Dan!!! Another great video.

@8:01 right on Dan!

Man is good at his craft. Let him enjoy the job and whistle.

Love the design on the bottom of the boots. You videos always remind me of going into the cobblers in LB when I was little (many years ago) with my dad . Have a great Christmas 🎅🌲☃️

there is only one word which comes to my mind "PERFECT"!!!

Merry Christmas from Texas U.S.A, Great job Dan.

That whistling part did make me chuckle, good on you.

It is like a form of art, something really satisfying about watching a skilled craftsman at work

The sounds your stitching machine made were really pleasing to my ears. Also, beautiful craftsmanship!

My only concern is that you made those boots so beautiful I wouldn't want to walk on them lol. Seriously fantastic job, love your attitude and demeanor and love your dedication and skill.

Great job!

Amazing talent really enjoy your videos, whistle as much you want. Merry Christmas

I could never imagine wanting to walk in them and destroy such a work of art, honestly mate, you are a craftsman and an artist!

Merry Christmas to you dan, your so cute btw. Cheers from Grand Rapids, MI USA…im British at heart, wish i lived there

The sole design is awesome. Love it!

Singing Leadbelly, wowza.

A true professional. You make it look easy.

You’re always ready with a joke, I love it. I’m always so interested in what you’re doing but I always fall asleep to these videos. Not boring, just very relaxing. Don’t change anything, if you try to please everyone you’ll please no one and just be miserable for trying. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, much success and happiness to you until the coming year.

Have a merry Christmas and happy new year 👍👍

My favourite part of Christmas is the time off work!!!

I have watched you from your first video and always been amazed at what a craftsman you are. But this re-soles absolutely blew me away! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the USA!!🎄❤️

Yeah a new upload, now that's a good Christmas gift!

Whistle all you want. I love it. Reminds me of my old school carpenter Grandad.

Too good to walk on ! Amazing craftmanship

Merry Christmas to you Dan - Wishing you and your family well bro - Thank you for the great content

best part of christmas is the dinner and beer with the family

I've got to say I like your sense of humor and style

Fascinating video ! Your job looks amazing, your videos show your passion for it and they give us interest in it ! Merry christmas

Such a pro. Proves it by working thru shorter fingers ! 👍

It’s nice to watch an artist at work!

You are one handsome man!! I could sit here all day and watch your videos . Your very good at what you do. Found your videos today been watching them all today.

OMG!! Absolutely stunning design on the soles. If these were my boots I would probably display them and never wear them. You need to start signing and dating your works of art. BTW my good friend Marissa got me a "Let's get Sticky " mug and mask for Christmas. Best present ever. Also try some egg nog in your coffee . I use it in mine during the Holiday season.It's really good. Merry Christmas Dan and Happy New Year. Can't wait to see what's new in '22. : )

happy holidays everyone!

Have a merry Christmas and happy new year,🍺🍺👍

My wife an I saw a Jaguar yesterday on the M25 near London with the registration, "A COBLER" and immediately thought of your channel. Best wishes from a Yank in Cambridgeshire; love your channel, cheers.

Nice hidden stitching job and seeing someone do the job the right way!

Merry Christmas brother Dan!

Great Job on both shoes. Merry Christmas to you and your Family Dan. Keep Up the Great job.....Cats? Hehehe...

felicidades...hermoso trabajo

My friend you did a fantastic job.👏🇬🇷🌲🌷

My favorite part of Christmas is when it’s over.

Merry Christmas Dan.

Just yesterday Ken from Theoria Apophasis channel said that someone compalined about his whistling 😗 while he takes a seat, so he hummed for that episode, and will resume whistling right after.

I always put the milk first, because I heat it in the microwave and then add the coffee, so as in Math, the order does not change the result!! I love it when you sing "Jeremiah was a bullfrog"

I love the sole design. Funky!

Great repair’s Dan 👍 happy Christmas 🎅

Merry Christmas from USA 🇺🇸🎄💖

Wow , your craftsmanship is beautiful and so entertaining too , loving your work 💋

I work for Ron's shoe repair, so you can only imagine how funny and i"ron"ic for me, meeting Ron the supervisor .lol... Dan I believe we are living double lives. God bless my brother. Great work!

Love the channel. You truly are a skilled craftsmen and a natural entertainer!! Keep up the great work!

I love watching this guy I use to put shoes to get her at us shoe in Osgood indiana!!
