I was surprised to see a few things. The glue between the resole and the welt is visibly incomplete. Padding was removed from the ball of the foot upon removal of the old sole yet not replaced. Can't vouch, but the boots were not shown being cleaned before colored compound was added.

You took me back to my childhood (nearly 60yrs), I loved watching my Grandfather repair old shoes, back then NOTHING got thrown out unlike today. BTW, you did a great/beautiful job on those boots.

What a great way to spend a few minutes drinking a coffee and watching a master craftsman. Took me back to childhood days .... I could close my eyes and smell the leather. Subscribed and when my forty year old RM Williams need repairing again I'll ship them over to you. Thank you!

You gotta love the cinematography coupled to skill. Not one spoken word yet the whole process explained in detail. That cobbler is skilled!

I'm bored studying and decided to watch this video, purely for the satisfaction you get by watching things get fixed 😂😂

That was a treat to watch. My wife walked in after I started viewing and was mesmerized. Thanks!

It’s not easy and it’s a lot of detail and precise work goes into shoes!!! very beautiful work

Videos like this are the best best kind. Pros in action.

Man...I hope you make a good living because shoe repair guys offer a service that is priceless.

thats a nice old welter you have. Always nice to watch a craftsman at work

I love this 💖 brings back memories of sitting watching my grandfather who repaired everyone’s shoes in the village from his him back in the 50’s 60’s in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I loved the smell thank you for sharing this fine work. 👍🏽😁

i have had the same pair of boots for years now...and have had them resoled twice..thank god cobblers still exist.

A most satisfactory presentation of a master craftsman applying his craft, in turn, making his product better than it was from the start. A+

There was a Russian man who had a tiny cobbler shop at our corner, I loved the odour of his shop and could watch him endlessly, this was a delightful 70 year old memory, thank you so much for posting

I was upset at the price to resole my boots last year... I get it now. RESPECT!

Wow, it was a fine pleasure watching you work. Great finished product. Thank you.

Remember watching my grandfather repair shoes in the Co-op workshops in Watford, 50 years ago.

That was probably something I've been waiting to see a KZfaq for so long. Excellent job.

I enjoyed watching your video... WoW! A lot of time and effort went into these shoes to revive them and the outcome was extraordinary!... Thank you! 👏👏👏

Wonderful to watch. True craftsmen always make their craft look easy. Thanks for sharing.

totally amazing!! wish that we all have this dude to take good care of our beloved boots 😊

It is amazing how with all the modern inventions, you still need to make beautiful shoes with 100 year old technology!! Really nice..

Fascinating to watch

Have to admit, that there is a lot of knowledge and skill involved to be a master cobbler.

Oddly satisfied just watching an extraordinary craftsmanship.... i would spend hours just watching people with such skills , to me what he does is art...

Fantastic Craftmanship and dexterity ! Such joy to watch that !

This is so cool. As I age I certainly appreciate more and more hands on trades and skill sets. Good shit.

Nothing like good old quality craftsmanship.

great job you did on those boots... I was so impressed with the stitching machine also...now I want to be a cobbler 😊

You Sir, are amazing! You worked your arse off!

Dear friend, I really salute you...kind of professional work with the help of the machines n tools...it make me smile cos you share the process done...well done man...keep it up

I always appreciated the cobbler in our town that resoled my boots many times and capped the toes when I wore them out.

Watching this makes me miss the old days when I used to take my boots down to get fixed at the local shoe repair shop.

Good job ! That sowing machine is fantastic....

Sir,you are the master on what you do.You are awesome!!!!!!

...my great grandfather was a shoemaker!..i can feel the desire in my blood..a calling for quality craftsmanship of shoe production and repair!..lol..good video!

You my friend are an artist!!

Amazing craftsmanship. I don't know why, but ever since I first went into a shoe/boot repair shop I have been fascinated. Thank you for sharing.

Lovely to watch a craftsman at work!

I don't understand why this is so satisfying for me to watch.

Beautiful craftsmanship!

Full respect and appreciation for your craft. Thank you for this fantastic video!

Watching guys rebuild/build boots never gets old. I’d love to do that for job. It has to be more enjoyable and gratifying than the oilfield.

True cobbler.....thank you for your craft....keep going

You guys do amazing work! Outs so nice to see quality handiwork!

I enjoyed this very much. Thank you.

Well done! It's great to see a craftsman and his work.

Beautiful work

That repair will more than double the life of those boots. Excellent work

That's incredible! What an artist and craftsman!!!!!!

Thank you for your work.

You have done a great job. These handsome boots look splendid now.

Nice to see old craftsmanship still practiced!

Impeccable work Master craftman!!!!! Come to NYC!! Dying art!👍

Outstanding job.

OMG,there`s nothing better than a craftsman that knows his craft like this man...I wish we had someone like this in my city....We pay so much =for footwear just to have them wear out too soon...GREAT WORK...

Very crafty. Nice work

I'm glad I watch this video most people say that it will almost constant same to repair a boot as to buy a new one... but if you went ahead and spend 300, 600 to $1,000 then it's worth fixing them to go ahead and buy another pair I bought me some $500 worth of rattlesnakes boots and I took the courage to spend an extra 75 bucks to put a rubber shoe on it's been already two years that I have them and they still look brand new and they still look good

I like the handle on your shine brush; good idea!

This was an extremely satisfying and relaxing video. Amazing trade.

This video was very satisfying to watch. 👍

Nice to see how this work is done, lots of skill and practice , nice work 👍🏼

Very professional job !!

Wow!!!...super craftsmanship!

great work and craftsmanship

That stitching machine was amazing!

True Craftsman...kinda had me with the glue...thinking that won't last....then the cut machine worked a grove and the other machine sewed the sole back on. You got me....excellent work for sure

That was amazing! Great work!

Excellent job 👍

very satisfying to watch

Great video! Very cool! Looks great!

i thoroughly enjoyed watching that.

I'm ready to go buy a pair of boots just so I can wear them out and send them to these guys

Those machines are fascinating.

So satisfying! What great work.

That was immensely satisfying to watch.

A true craftsman, great work.....

Awesome work.

What a joy to watch,great job on those "RM's."

Awesome craftsmanship!!!

Excellent workmanship, nice to see such skills!

Thanks tech for connecting my eyes with Art.

Does this bring back memories, back in the early 70s, maybe even 69, I worked a summer at a shoe repair shop. Not that I can repair shoes but I knew they could be fixed. Thanks to a stint in the army I was aware that taking care of your boots would get you more life out of them. In 2000 I bought a pair of redwing boots, good quality at the time for $230. I wore them and took care of them for the next 7 years of factory maintenance work. I even got teased a bit for cleaning and shining them at least once a week. When the time came and the soles were wearing through, I took them to a redwing dealer and questioned the possibility oh getting new soles and heals for them. Turned out the factory still had that option but they had to be sent out and would take 6 to 8 weeks. Off they went and 6 weeks and $75 later I had what were nearly Noel boots. I wore them for another 5 or 6 years till I finally decided to retire them as the leather had lost most of its strength. That wasn't the end though, I salvaged enough firm leather to fashion a sheath for an old German knife I had and still have today. Good quality boots are hard to come by these days. Great video.

Real craftsmanship, actually an art!

woww. this is something I would do only for the pleasure of doing it myself. I felt so good watching this video. Thanks

I used to make shoes by hand back in my country. This is beautiful world, art we shall call it. 👌👌

I 💓 that stitching machine!

Спасибо за ваш труд.Thank you for your work.

You have mad cobbling skills.

I worked at a timpsons when I left school loved fixing shoes, I miss it I must say.

Incredible work!

Nice work, beautiful

Wow! Amazing repair job!!

Great restoration work. God bless ur skillful hands! The boots look good to go for another few decades if maintained by the wearer.

Excellent Job!!

To all the people who disliked this video: Before we became a society of disposable products, a cobbler was a highly regarded member of the community. People spent a lot more time on their feet performing manual labor outdoors, which meant it was paramount that they took great care of the footwear they could scarcely afford. If you received a foot injury, or a bad blister, you couldn't just hop in your car and drive down to Walmart for band aids and neosporin, or the ER for stitches and an antibiotic. Until the early parts of the last century, people routinely died from what started out as minor foot injuries.

Top 5 most satisfying video to watch. The sound of the sole being sawn on, instant classic. 🤤

This vid is so relaxing

We have a guy with a shop like this near me and he has literally hundreds of repaired shoes on the wall no one comes to pick up after they have been repaired ..i asked him how do you keep the door open he say by selling those nice shoes the no one comes to claim after being repaired , some of them are very pricey new .

Beatiful job!!
