    When you took out the half-insole I saw the brand stamp and knew for sure!
    That's a Mexican made crocodile shoe imported by the company I work for here in Texas!
    We add eyes to some of our exotic skin shoes as well, specifically Caiman leatherd shoes. 👟
    It's crazy to see how a pair of our exotic shoes (we make primarily exotic boots) has made it across the pond to the UK, and ended up in your shop!
    Very cool to see!
    Excellent work by the way, those eyes look just like when they leave our factories in Leon Mexico!
    Well done!

I can't believe the state the shoes were in when you took them to pieces and the end result was even more stunning for that. It's a pretty expensive repair - most people wouldn't spend half that buying a new pair of shoes, so it's nice to see someone deciding that those shoes were worth the expense and time to save and improve them. Stunning job as always !

    Really a test to Dan's skills to save such sole-less shoes of such expensive leather ! Not only restored to basic usage condition, but also conditioned and moisturised to look good again. And we get to see custom-painted soles again and lulu toe plates! Always like to see those done. The crocodile eye turned out good too, sits really flush and looks as if they were manufactured with this eye. The orange insole is also not something you see on daily basis. And it can be seen the Croc had problems to drag out such big prey like Dan, hope he will turn on inner Schwarzenegger and Stalone at once and will be back for more shoe repairs !

    Honestly? I really love the eyes. The idea of positioning them so that the shoe looks like the snout of a crocodile is a really good idea and pretty high concept.

    Also I had a quick question... with how tattered some of the material is would this restoration really be it's last or do you think there is a chance 10 years from now they could be restored again? I have a feeling from the condition overall this would be the last run but I could be wrong.

HOWEVER, the coolness factor of those shoes made up for it, though! They looked like total trash when you started on them, and I can't believe how nice they turned out. The soles are incredibly cool with the pattern airbrushed on, and I LOVE the eyes, too, though I don't think I'd have the courage to wear them. It's one of those things you know the fashion police would call you out on, but you secretly gotta love! LOL! Seriously, I love all your videos.

    Good day! Greetings from Ukraine! Unfortunately, due to some unfortunate circumstances, it is not possible to watch all your videos, but what I see is impressive! The crocodile's eyes look very nice and look around. You are a real master, about whom golden hands say. Thank you!

    You must be proud of your job, Sir! In the beginning, I was quite skeptical about the customer's idea but after... WOW! Great job, will keep on following your great videos.
    Best greetings from Ukraine!

    Dan your shoe artistry just keeps getting better and better. The guy to whom these shoes belong to will surely get some double takes when he wears them. I can't even begin to fathom what those shoes would cost if they had come the way you made them look from the factory. Your second choice for the eye placement was a good idea as the first one may have been problematic as it would have been where the foot bends. Also good to see the croc make a return visit.🤣 Cheers. 🙂

    Wow. Considering the character of those dress shoes and the unique reptile leather, that eye you added is perfect. I bet the owner is very happy. I would be.

    I am italian. Here we had a lot people like him when I was young. Now unfortunately are like all disappear. It's the sad part of our modern society. Here those kind of shops closed to give space to chinese shops or kebab shops. I never can adapt me and this guy remember me that's still hope. Great job with those shoes!
