These are my shoes! Tring shoe repair did a great job. I've had this pair for 10 years and this is the first time I've had to get the bottoms done. I bought them from ducker and son in Oxford which are sadly no longer in business.

Glad to see a younger generation taking up the art of cobblers

And now the saying: “Down to brass tacks” makes much more sense. Great job on the boots as well!

In an age of disposable goods, it's so nice to see something beautifully repaired.

Loving this channel, loving his personality, loving his work, love his clean shop, and loving his English accent. Love from California

My dad was a shoe maker for over 50 years and he will love to see your job ! There is a huge shoe and leather maker community in my area who would fall in love with your vids and you will immediately gain followers ! You are a very lively hand-made shoe craftsman with very outstanding and clean presentation technics ! Well-done !!! And Bravo !!!

Always a privilege to see a master craftsman creating perfection.

It‘s so refreshing to see a younger generation of cobblers taking up the craft in this fast fashion society, where a pair of shoes get thrown away the second they show signs of breakage.

The Star Trek bit was brilliant.

it's so wonderful to see that cobblers still exist. thank you!

Hi Dan, Greetings from Beverly Hills, California USA. I'm a new subscriber and urge others to join your channel and forward your link to others on their mailing lists. You are a true master craftsman. Keep up the good work. 👍😷👍

This is why I love KZfaq, had no idea the skill that went into it. I dont know why, maybe its the age we live in but I thought it must if been more automated. Plus who knew repairing shoes and boots was such a good work out and would give you huge arms.

On a side note I always enjoyed polishing my shoes when I was in school - the shiny result was always a reward 😍

Always great to see someone with actual skill,who takes pride in their work.

Great to see the younger generation taking over! I'm sure a lot of people will be happy to see you for years to come. Greetings from Germany!

I never thought that there are so many different terms and things about shoes that I didn't know even in my language (German) and also didn't thought it would be so interesting to watch. Seeing your channel growth I think I'm not alone.

A fine pair of boots and a fine refurbishment. They look splendid, Sir. 😊

Absolutely outstanding job. I like the half blind stitch, gives it a nice Italian touch.

If you didn’t have me as a fan before (which you did), you got me with the dramatic Spock vs. Kirk reference. Well done! Well done indeed.

Never thought seeing someone mending shoes 👞 did b this interesting...! Dan, u r not only a good craftsman, but an artist...! Am from Mumbai, but will surely visit ur store in Tring.

Love the Disneys Robin Hood whistle reference during the shoe press. Great tune.

Excellent job ... well done

This is awesome! Sustainability, I repair all my shoes and wear them longer. Love this guy !

The craft is what is impressive and important. The phone and other interrupts just add to the authenticity of your videos. Great job.

Yessss Santa George in the window! Great video and a fine example of beautiful craftsmanship. Well done!

Really enjoy your channel, especially the segue music provided by yourself. The Spock vs. Kirk was classic!

Having been a cobbler for 15 years trainind by my brother who worked for Clarks "when they were made shoes the uk" I worked for Brooks and then for Timpsons as a manager, I loved the work and took great pride in it. It's the only job I had when after a holiday I was glad to get back to work and get a good snif of the glue lol. So I want you to be honest now How many uppers have you accidentally stitched to the welt. I have managed two. I love watching your videos,it brings back ssooooo many great memories. My best job was making a shoe for an elephant at Bristol zoo

So much perfection in your craft. Love it. Your attitude is infectious as well as your enthusiasm. What a guy!!

My dad always had Duckers, and whenever he sent them for repair and they were ready, he would get a personalised letter on handmade paper in flowery language, something like "We beg to inform you, Sir, that your footwear is ready for collection". It was a nice touch, and it's very sad that they are no longer there.

Uppers are in good shape compared to the sole of shoe. Guy kept them in decent shape. Nice refurbish! Cheers!! 👍

I somehow like that a big part of the work is whacking the shoe with a hammer

Just discovered your channel and really liking it. Thanks for keeping a job alive that is compromised by plastic shoes from Asia. I am more aware of the situation and try to buy shoes that can be resoled etc. Hope you have a great 2021.

What a joy to watch! I love to see a craftsman at work and shows real passion in his profession. Thank you 👍

Oh ! I watched other videos from different shoemakers but you are the only one with my Lyon shoemaker who used your hammer very often!!! you must be a descendant of the god Thor!!! Well done Dan, it’s a real pleasure to watch you work & you give us a lot of joy 🙏🔥😊💫

So satisfying bro..it is quite rare to see the youngster to do what u are doing now..keep it up

Wooooow! This is shoe surgery! Sooo beautiful! Amazing job! Congrats!

I am here for this man!! Someone does like me? :-)

Perfect pair of shoes, absolutely stunning job...! Loved watching it....

Cobblers are super heros in my eyes. You shop looks very modern and organized👍. The leather on those Trickers still looks great.

I like all your masterpiece restorations, but even more those that come with shanks!!! They are a great beauty in any shoe and boot!!

Dood’s got some guns for sure.

👍👍👍👍 Excellent work.

I never thought I’d find a channel like this so fascinating to watch but I love it. This is such a skill, the upper most respect to you 😊

Really enjoyed watching this, great to see a young man like yourself showing your skills passed down from others with great quality work and finish. Have a brilliant Christmas and new year..All the best for 2021.

Great looking boots, nice work.

Tu es un artiste... c'est magnifique... Bonne année.

Wetting the sole leather - spray bottle to soak it - makes it considerably easier to cut the flap for the blindstitch! Those JR soles are dense!!

Lots of good knowledge to be had here! Thank you 😊

Happy holidays Dan, I hate you, cos I'm so jealous, haha! you are so talented and passionate about what you do, it shows in your Craftsmanship... I'm glad I saw your vids bud.

Very nice! I hope my shoemaker is as good as you when i bring my Sandro chelsea boots for a repair.

I don't believe I've heard the "Robinhood" theme as many times as I have binge watching your channel. You're also inspiring me to do more with my own channel.

Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing I enjoy watching and learning how to be a cobbler

Lovely job, he said it himself. Great skills. Enjoyed it.

I've just found your channel, and I'm very glad. Nice to find someone this side of the pond to match Steve@Bedos!

C'est magnifique !! Lovely job ! Great shoes and indeed good cobblers remain on your side of the channel...but we also have some (few) in France to take care of our beloved...english shoes.

Wonderful Job! Well done! Beyond all imaginations!

Great work, as always.

Beutifull work i wish i want to learn this work Nice skill make alweys people happy

I like to put shoe trees in the shoes when I’m polishing up shoes for customers, removes creases and creams and polish get into the shoe better👍🏼

Another Beautiful Masterpiece! These videos are my Therapy! 👍

Keep up the good work!!!

wow, that is amazing. a true craftsman!!

Amazing work

Bro!! You get an A, great job bro, i'm all the way in rural pensylvania US, i stumbled upon the 1rst timberland repair video, pretty interesting stuff, wish i could do that, you got good equipment too

Great work! love how you don't show the work being done to both boots cuz that would be a little redundant BUT I can't be the only one that wants you to show the cork replacement on both boots hahaha.

I really enjoy your channel and personality.

Excellent work, Dan! Really enjoy your channel and your craftsmanship.

great job done, buddy. I like the way you do all the stuff so perfectly nd enjoying it too. 👍👍

You keep me entertained love it keep it up

You’re a craftsman mate, great job

ive been doing great! love when i see a new video, nothing but the best from dan the man

After watching this I ordered the Woly creme conditioner,it’s fantastic!

Great looking Chelsea boots especially after resole and upper reconditioning. Good job.

Another great job Dan. Marry Christmas to you and your family.

Dan Sir Another Superb Look and Tutorial into what goes into the Work you do.Very Interesting obviously to a non Shoe repairer but interesting all the same. So much work involved and certainly more cost effective than just buying another pair of boots or shoes. I’m a Joiner by trade and must ask is the Contact adhesive like Eco Stick which Ive used for years when doing Formica and must admit once it adheres it’s a nightmare to get back off🙈 Top drawer work Sir as always👏👏👏👏 👞

Very good Job man

Nice work ! 🔨👞

I’ve watched a lot of your videos and you are a true craftsman. It would be great if you could tell us a bit about yourself and how you became a cobbler.

Interesting to see all the steps to renovate these shoes!

nice to watch informative content. good luck and respect to you from Russia bro!

Oh my gosh, just found your channel, currently living in Cambodia, but have about 5 jobs that need doing across three pairs of shoes and one pair of boots. You'll be seeing me when I get back for a holiday. great work.

So unique, smart n fabulously done the whole repair work to look it to be a nascent brand new one feeling, just about the future of my shoe, when it comes to that 'wearing turns', ah.. I'm inspaired now! Thanks. Happy New Year 2021

Awesome job looks great

quick question, can you still buy blakey seggs for the heel and toe,??? fantastic video as per usual, very interesting,

Be proud : very talented

Well presented, nicely done. I had no idea before what was involved in shoe repair. Doing well enough here, hope you'll keep up the good work. :)

Отличный сапожник Видно что мастер своего дела ! Привет из России

Great job Dan! I like how you show the whole process. I do wish you had shown how you handled that scratch. Keep up the good work! Cheers

Okay I wish you an America cuz you can't find a good shoe maker that I used to love doing my shoes there's not too many around anymore 👍👍

Boa noite, excelente trabalho, verdadeiro artesão, uma obra de arte, Forte Abraço, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

Wowww que gran trabajo quedaron como nuevos.

Bom dia meu velho parabéns isso é uma arte milenar.

Esti super bun in ce faci . Bravo . 👍

Love this video and your work! Also made me smile to hear you whistling a tune from the old school Disney Robin Hood :) Happy Christmas!

Very good job

beautiful work,beautiful guy

Well done 👍😬

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’d love to see you over pimp a pair of shoes Take just a run of the mill pair and put every possible extra you can. Say like lulu plates and horseshoe heels with a fiddle back and lifts and everything you can think of. One of those just because type of things.

Hello from Spain. Impressive work! My dad loved his shoes and kept them polished and immaculate, he did use shoe trees. When do you use them? Maybe you have but I have not seen you use them on your client shoes. Congratulations on your work & channel.

Excelente trabajo 👍 amigo
