Cobblers have waited literally thousands of years for KZfaq to show that their profession is pretty damn cool

My Dad did repair and skates and scissors sharpened...for 55 yrs. I worked with him till I was 18. It is amazing to see how much things have stayed the same, yet changed. I am 75 yrs old... :) Excellent!

The cork filler was the bit that grabbed me, so many would not have added it. I love watching a skilled, meticulous craftsman at work.

I’m not sure how I ended up here, but I’m not mad about it.

I have a hunch this guy's handshake is a death grip

No idea how I came here, but once I've started watching, I couldn't stop anymore

I love this because it’s a dead art in America. We throw shoes away and just get new ones. I’m a builder and renovator so seeing a cobbler works is great. Very impressive craftsmanship.

“Wet as water”, “ walking in circles”, “hammer time” 😂- really enjoyed watching the craftsmanship and your humor!

Nice to see we still have someone who takes pride in their work

Like how he’s happy and proud of his work. That’s the attitude, people. It translates to incredible output.

Disney Robin Hood whistling, brings back memories.

Wow! I'm so glad that I found your video. I live in Louisiana, USA. When I was a child, I had a metal shoeshine box with brushes and products inside. I loved cleaning, treating and shining my dad's shoes and my own. That was more than 60 years ago! I'm now in my 70s. Even as an adult, I get satisfaction from caring for my shoes. Today, I was looking for videos to help me figure out which products to buy... and step-by-step instructions on how to re-glue Vibram soles on two pairs of my shoes. They had already been resoled... but it didn't hold. I was happy to see your use of 'cork filler' (I'll need something like that to fill an area on each sole where there's a company 'symbol' that's deepset). I appreciate learning about ALL of the techniques and products that you used, from start to finish. So, thanks to you, I've finally gotten some professional 'instruction' on caring for leather shoes... after all these years! Thank you so much for posting this video. 🤓👍🇺🇸

I really appreciate that you talk about what you're doing instead of just looping shitty music in the background. I hate when people are doing interesting, detail oriented work, but don't say a word, so thanks!

I really appreciate how clean his shop is

Nothing beats a man whose work is his passion.👍👍👍

Who in their right mind would dislike this video? The skill and passion displayed throughout his channel is refreshing. Seeing someone have pride in their business is amazing! Keep up the great work!

This dude takes his shit seriously, nice workshop

Great to see a young man with enthusiasm in his trade 👌😀😀😀

This man is so happy with his work. Great happiness.

This was, surprisingly, good therapy for winding down. I enjoyed watching how you made those boots like new again. I love learning new things. I have a pair of Nikes you can't buy anymore. I bought them, used, in the late 90's. The sole is coming off the back of one of the shoes. So, after watching yours and other's videos, I am repairing it myself. As a retired lady, who is 75 and on an extremely low income, I do what I can to save money where I can. I'm sure thankful for these videos. Blessings.

In such a disposable world it's really great to see a true craftsman doing his job well, years ago I had my favorite cowboy boots resouled with heavy work grips, less than half the cost of a new pair.....thank you for your skills

Its nice to see that the shoe repair business is alive and well in England. I haven't seen a cobbler shop here in the US in years

It took me 2 years to get over that sing you whistled. It is now back in my head. I can not stop whistleing it now. Again. Good job on rhe Timbos..

it's actually funny, that i can watch litterally anything in this lockdown....

Great that someone takes pride in his profession. Just great to see this guy.

I have no idea why youtube recommended these to me but they are really watchable!

I love that you’re showing a cemented re-sole. Love all of my Goodyear and Blake Stitch shoes but cemented shoes with nice uppers have a place and can be re-soled too. Thanks for showing us how.

you really do not see Shoe Repair shops too much any more. GREAT Craftsmanship

Don't see any shops like this in Canada much anymore, it's amazing to see such talent in today's society 🙌🏼 hats off to you sir!

Hand craftsmanship! THIS IS HOW YOU ACHIEVE QUALITY! BY HAND!

The first whistle/jingle you did brought me back to that one movie I can't remeber exept archer fox dude and trumpet hippos. The last time a listen to that jingle was probably 5-6 years ago

The lost arts of the old trades are getting the traction I see, good work and nice quality of work and attitude you have.

The music during the intermissions reiterates why you are such a cool guy 😎! Very intriguing! Never thought watching a cobbler repair shoes would be so fascinating! 😊

Dan, I wish you every success. I love that small business craftsmen are sharing knowledge of their trade online. I'm not a shoe repairman, but I like to maintain my nice shoes and preserve their life, and I appreciate a good shoe repairman in my life.

1.5 million views and only 41 thousand subs, that is not right. I love this guy

Who knew being a cobbler was so amazing man knows his kraft nice to see someone enjoy their job 👍🏽👍🏽

I'm from California, so we're in the same lockdown since March. I am beyond pleased to have stumbled upon this eye candy of a video though! Even the manicure is pristine, this man is serious!

When a person loves his job well, he always shines, my sincere affection.

Stumbled here from a Google search about something related. Impressed with the workmanship. Its an interesting video!

Ran acrss your channel recovering from an injury. My Dad was a Letter Carrier and one of his deliveries was a cobbler. They also ended up bowling together in a league, so I also got to know him quite well. One night at the bowling alley, Mom and Dad were talking about needing someone to watch me for a couple hours the next afternoon. He immediately volunteered! I spent a wongerful afternoon asking questions, learning things that helped me with school papers for years to come! You brought back mang happy memories! Thank you!

it's rare to see someone with your skills nowdays . fantastic job . 👍👍

Its a shame more people do not have their boots or shoes repaired instead of simply throwing them away to endless up as landfill. A nice relaxing video with no nonsense presenting .

it's been 3 days since ive been winding down my day to your videos and i just have to say what a youtube pro you are at editing. it feels like im watching a masterclass every time. love the background music as well - it's perfect for just relaxing at the end of a long day. kudos, dan! great job! :)

This is probably the only time KZfaq recommendations has led me to subscribing to someone.

Was great seeing this my Dad owened a shoe repair shop from1964 to 1997 brought back lots of memories

Great to see a craftsman at work and for some reason therapeutic

I enjoy watching someone repair or build something, it satisfies my ocd 🤙🏻

I watch this channel after Delta 8. I don’t know why but I just trip out on how good this dude is at repairing shoes.

I took a pair of John Lobbs to the repair shop by Liverpool Street station and they butchered them. This guy would have treated them with the respect they deserved. Quality work.

Aww WOW! What a fine job! Greetings from 70 miles north of San Francisco CA, USA. Happy to have found you and watch your amazing transformation of these shoes. J

That was interesting you can see that you really take pride in your craft you don't see as much of that this day in age Great job keep up the good work

Quality workmanship is the signature of the quality of the person. Kudos and cheers.

Great to see a perfectionist tradesman at work....Takes pride in his work...

Damn. This video reminded me of my old secondary school brogues from the 80s. Could never wait to wear them down so as to have a new leather sole and heel with a metal tip that made a clink on the concrete pavements. I can smell the new buffed leather just by watching this video. Cheers man.

I love my boots but now, I started appreciating the one who work hard on them with the skills.👍 Awesome working professional!!

Great channel. First time watcher. I live here in the states and wished we had these old shops and streets. There’s so much to love about it. And craftsmen like you keeping the art alive is awesome. You’ve earned a sub.

It truly is an art what you do. First time watching, and I gotta see more of your work. Never even had any footwear resoled but just like watching videos like this. Amazing work.

I like the guy the way he speaks look very humble person good job 👏

12:15 “cause if it’s wonkey, he’ll end up walking in circles” oh man I had a good laugh at that.

This was another great lesson in shoe repair. You are a fine tradesman that is keeping an old fashioned art alive. Thanks again for going to the trouble of sharing you skills and knowledge.

Wish you were in New York so I could take a lot of my shoes for a restoration. I really appreciate and respect this craft and mostly the attention you give to the shoe is rare to see around here. So, if you can't open shop here then train very well an apprentice and tell them to open shop here 🤣🤣

Nice job, never knew Timberland soles can be repaired like this, now I know who to contact when I need mine done 🙂🙂

it was so lovely how you replaced that sole and your shop is so organized.... keep it up

Always like watching a dedicated craftsman at work. I can see you love your job!

"If it's wonky, he'll end up walking in circles" lol....good video sir. I have these boots and love. I'm glad to see that a resole CAN be done.

I stumbled upon this video by accident and watched it all the way through. Satisfying video. I subbed!

I dont know how i got to this chanel fell asleep watching Ed Sheeran and woke up to the sound of a beautiful voice and then just like that LOL , I was impressed 😍😍😍😍😍😍😂😂😂😂😂💗💗💗. Thank you for the videos they are so calming and satisfying!!!

Anyone else say "Hammer time!" at the appropriate point? Couldn't help myself. Love the videos, your presentation and style. Thank you.

I like this guy! A pleasure to watch!

Love the workmanship. Takes patience that most people dont have . Plus a steady hand.

I have been spending lock down time learning about boots and boot repair. I just subscribed. I could watch these videos all day. Thanks

Just stumbled across this video. Awesome, a true craftsman! I used to get my shoes repaired all the time and they always seemed better than new. Going to start doing it again.

When you said hammer time, I had something completely different in mind.

An excellent job, hopefully everyone will work like this professionally. Congratulations, good job.

"You know what time it is....HAMMER TIME!" -Bedo's leatherworks. Love this content! Amazing work, great explanation of the process, great dialogue going.

Love the video. I remember when I worked in an office and wore different shoes, and had a few resoled. I'm a huge fan of leather soles on dress shoes. Vibram is my go-to for casuals and boots. It's nice to see cobblers like this still exist. Awesome job.

I didn't search for it... But bloody well enjoyed it! Absolute cobblers - great job Dan.

Great feeling getting shoes repaired, better than buying new one's . This man is very skilled and has a nice attitude I would want to spend my money there.

Dan, You're like therapy to watch! I really didn't think to try and find a cobbler program such as this. WOW!! I'm hooked!! Thank you!!

Really enjoyed the proper cleaning and conditioning phases for the uppers. Didn’t know how to do that. Thanks for helping me take care of my boots!

He’s whistling one of the songs from the animated version of Robin Hood! My daughter loved that when she was a kid. 😁

AWESOME video! Here in America it's almost impossible to find a shop that will do boot repairs anymore.

I have a pair of those same Timberlands, and you have inspired me to give them the same loving cleaning. Great work there.

9 this is a rabbit hole I thought I'd never go down but live and learn.

I remember back 40 years ago I had a pair Timberline lumberman's boots. They were a real high side boot. I used to wear them motor cycle riding. I burned a round burnout grove on the bottom from the muffler. I took them to a shoe repair and they said they couldn't be fixed because of the glued on sole. Couldn't walk in them because of the burn. They were like new except for the burn groove. This happened back in the early 70's.

Love the craftsmanship of this guy .. Very very professional and love what he does i can tell .. Unfortunately and sadly this is something not too many people wants to do or interest as a job .. To me is Art man . is just pure inspiration .. Keep it up man . i wish i could give you some work , but I'm too far away lol....my regards from Costa Rica my God BLESS You and keep you and provide for all your needs Amen 🙏🙏 .... You will never walk alone

a fine young man with a rare and excellent trade. God Bless you.

Thanks Dan. Four pair of my shoes received some TLC today, while watching your videos. Great to watch. Oddly satisfying 😌

Cork filler? Never heard of it before now. Every day’s a learning day! Great work. 👍🏻

Big respects to this young man and to anyone who loves his/her job and does it with dedication, the presentation was also well done, bravo.

Excellent workmanship, a very fine sense of humor and you evidently love your trade. Congratulations, dude!

Nice work Dan.

Damn! KZfaq just recommended your channel to me, and I have a newfound love for shoe tailoring..🤪😍🤭

I got those same boots 4 years ago and 2 years ago I got them resoled with vibram mini lug. I use them for farm boots. They get used really hard but are holding up great.

10/10 craftsmanship ; 11/10 for whistling tune from Robin Hood. Nice one!

All I can say is wow!!! I have the same boot and when my sole wears out I know who I’m sending my boots to.

Not sure why KZfaq recommended this to me but here I am 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Personally I prefer sewn on soles but you've definitely done a good job with these. Nice work. Cool shop too.

Nicely done. Great to see fine craftsmanship in action.

Nothing beats an old fashion hand power TLC on a pair of shoes sole replacement! GOOD JOB!
