it does not break and it works the best ;)

I polish the soles to make the finish prettier. It's just aesthetic. I have not yet found anything better than Saphir Medaille d'Or, but there may be other brands as good. Probably not cheaper though. There are some specific products from other brands that I sometimes prefer over Saphir, but they often have other disadvantages. Stay with Saphir and you'll be safe.

You really should have a cobbler do it for you. A cobbler knows which glue to use. It depends on the materials, and we have the machinery to prep the surfaces and to press the soles the correct way. I used a neoprene based contact adhesive in the video.

Yes. They were leather, so no need to replace them.

About 2600 SEK.

Maybe you could try and turn the volume down or mute it, and it wouldn't irritate you so much. Look for a symbol with an overcrossed loudspeaker. 😄 Try my newer videos. I've eliminated the background noices when shooting them so I can keep more of the work sounds.

Well hello again John Smith. I appreciate your polite comment. I also appreciate your views on my chosen format. Maybe more and more people want longer videos, with more information. But when I started the KZfaq-channel it was just meant for my swedish customers, so speaking in english would seem lame and arrogant. And sinse english is not my native language, I don’t feel comfortable speaking it unscripted and relaxed, with a bad swedish accent, on video. The indended recipients are also rarely interested in too much details. Furthermore, I felt that the average viewer want short videos. I personally like watching sped up craft videos, and sinse there are plenty of skilled cobblers offering the longer format with a lot of talking, my chosen format fit me perfectly. By speeding up the video, I can fit more craft into it, and keep it short. Sinse I don’t want to talk in the videos, I thought some music from the KZfaq-library (royalty free), would make it less boring to watch. In some parts I’ve had to remove the video sound alltogether for different reasons, and that would sound strange, without a soundtrack. The videos are now beeing viewed by more people outside my customer base, and from abroad, so I’ve switched from swedish subtitles to english. Maybe it is time to rethink my format, but many people say they like it. And I still like it. And I am still very much uncomfortable speaking english on video. For now I will keep the current format. Perhaps you can mute the video, and play your own soundtrack. In the future I might make them differently, if enough people encourage me. Who knows. You are not the first to say these things. Still, more people like the format. I do appreciate your interest though. Very much. I will keep it in mind for future productions. I have plans for a kind of video blog, where i talk about welted shoes, sizes and lasts, and a series of lessons in shoe care. I would feel like an idiot doing it in english though, but maybe I can add subtitles, and skip the music. /Marcus - Davidsons Skomakeri

@@davidsonsshoerepair As you mentioned I really enjoy the sped up process and the music choice is to my taste as well. There are many other cobblers that talk about the details, I think these videos are great the way they are.

@@janoschfoerster2921 Thank you.

@@davidsonsshoerepair The format and music is perfect for a relaxing video. New sub here.
