@Dan, as the owner of those Loake boots I wanted to let your viewers know that I am beyond happy at the quality and craftsmanship of the resole. Moreover I got to see you actually do the work including the love and care that you lavish on your customers shoes. I’m the past I would have sent my shoes back to the Northampton factory for this work but it is now taking 50 working days for a repair; you had mine back in a fortnight. Thank you again and my next repair will be in the post to you in the not too distant future!
Hey man! I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how worn were these soles when you sent them in? To me they looked fairly new, but I exclusively use leather soles in my shoes so I have no experience. How would you say Dainite compares to leather in terms of comfort and durability?
We do not worry, we enjoyed this ASMR. The idea of ASMRs doesn't exclude talking anyway, unless one has shrieking voice of a witch that would wake up the dead 😉😆 you just do the talking in a calm soothing manner
Something so calming about watching you do this sir. I’ve been sick for the past couple of weeks and lately I have just put your videos on in the background while I sleep. Very entertaining and relaxing at the same time. Congratulations on all of your hard work and success. John 3:16
I like the odd ASMR video thrown in! I almost use it as a little test to see how much I've learned from watching your videos and try to name to different parts of the shoe or guess what process come next :)
Even though you're not talking, I can hear you saying: let's get sticky, and other things that you used to say Am I that addicted to watching your videos? Yeah, I am.
Hey Dan, been watching your channel for a while now and it's my new addiction. Never knew I had such a fascination in the impressive skills of a cobbler!!! I've got a question, have you ever damaged a shoe during a repair that you couldn't fix?? Keep them coming, I'll keep watching!!♡
Have you ever had a customer come in and ask you to do a repair and you've just said to them it's literally cheaper to just go buy a new pair? BTW I only found your channel B/C the Loubs bulk repair popped up and it looked interesting so I watched it and ended up binge watching your entire video collection lol. Love your work. It's nice to see someone that clearly takes great pride in their workmanship...
Not all the time because lots of customers want their shoe fixing for sentimental value even if it costs more than new ones! If they are comfy and they want to keep them.
A few years ago I asked a local cobbler for a price for Dainite heels, he tried to give me a lecture about it's only a brand name & normal rubber heels are exactly the same. I've never been back
I think if the ASMR fans don't like talking..then they should watch you on O.F. The rest of us prefer talking..jokes.. singing..and being invited to "get sticky"
I know nothing about shoes really and never owned a pair worth fixing in my life besides my western boots but I enjoy these videos immensely for some reason. Need to get me a nice pair of shoes one day. Don't even know where to start.
Honestly if you're looking to start out look into something by Thursday boots. They're kind of overly popular these days but they really do have a lot of premium features for a relatively modest price
1:55 - that scraps-collecting plate is very clever ! Detachable but fully functional, and with convenient handle.12:35 - they see him rollin', they hatin' ;)
miss your talking, but maybe for the next ASMR you could lower the volume for just the sanding part? so it's not as shocking. I actually love having these on in the background while I'm working/studying
Hey Dan I have a couple questions; How long does the cork last and is there a certain amount that needs to be used to give a comfortable cushion? Also, I thought rubbing alcohol dries out leather? It's amazing how the alcohol almost removes the creases.
WOW! Smashing job for sure. I was just waiting for that nail to drop to the floor. It's one of my favorite things! Ron is a good dad. I see he's got Reggie right there in the thick of it...learning. Thanks Dan and I hope your spring is going well.
It amazes me how many power tools and just sheer pulling apart of stuff there is in shoe repair. I always thought of it as kind of dainty and precise. But nope...freakin' belt sanders and heat guns!
Cracking Restoration and Repair Look classier than when new. Owner is well and truly delighted. What Saphir product is nearest to Oxblood? Burgundy 08?
Dan I do not like when you don't talk. 1) I am from the U.S. and I really like hearing your accent. 2) I think it is so fascinating watching you rebuild shoes and if you don't explain why and what you are doing to something it just doesn't help me at all. Just my two cents worth. Thanks for sharing your videos.
mate, I was wondering.. when was teh last time you bought shoes for yourself? You just upgrade everything in a level I cannot understnad why you would buy shoes from anywhere when you can repair them....
Dan, I have a pair of Waldviertler shoes. It's an Austrian brand and the shoes are in the "somewhere in the middle" category in terms of niceness - they're not intended to be throwaway shoes and can be repaired, but they're not like one of the nicer English brands, like these Loakes. I think I paid €120 for them five years ago. What would you recommend in terms of care for "somewhere in the middle" shoes?
So nice, so we can hear the process, and not hear your talking hahaha just kidding dude, you are good in the talking too! xD and explaining nice and simple, thanks!
Why resole already? Plenty of rubber seemed left on dainite rubber! I can see stitches coming open but still a lot of rubber left... could he have waited until almoat a hole in a rubber or wearing out rubber on toe?
Hey! Im a Cobbler from Germany! Can u name me the sewingmashine u use? I only have a frobana doublesewer mashine (German name is Doppelnähmaschine), from where i have a top down view only so i cant really stich according to the line. And i have a Hardo "to sew through the insole". But i never saw that mashine.
Hi, Dan. Always enjoy your channel and look forward to new videos. Great to hear you like traveling. Suggest you consider going to Costa Rica. British Airways has direct flights from London-Gatwick to the capital San Jose. (TIP: Skip the capital. Stick to beaches, and small towns in countryside.)
Did anyone else miss "Let's Get Sticky" @ around 4:45...and you know the cobbler wants to get sticky, the milkman wants to get fresh, and the garbage man wants to get trashed.....woof
Sadly repairing something like basic Loake has become quite obsolete at Finland because the price is more than half of the new pair. Less and less proper goblers around novadays.
Dan l watch on your regular talkie videos. Don't forget no whistling and keep the noise down. ASMR also features Angelo and his pro shoe shine video.which puts me to sleep. In a good way!! Everything is quiet no matter what's going on. Good luck with ASMR. I like the regular version 🙂.
Man, I used to loooove my yellow brogues. With age, they would turn the most gloriois golden colour. Wore them with suits,cords and most importantly, jeans. Also had brown and black for formal occasions. Super shoe style...and 45 years later, I've still got a boot version.

My pleasure Kevin happy to help! Appreciate the comment 👌 will look forward to the next pair!

Hey guys! Don't worry I'm back talking next video! For now though I couldn't let these cool red dainites go without a cheeky video!
I was literally about to say that this was far too quiet 😂
Yes...it was very weird you were not talking...I was like😑😑😑
Silence is golden haha only joking to quiet ha🤫🤫
We do not worry, we enjoyed this ASMR. The idea of ASMRs doesn't exclude talking anyway, unless one has shrieking voice of a witch that would wake up the dead 😉😆 you just do the talking in a calm soothing manner
Please give me an answer to my question
Dropping nails on the floor is a really nice touch. Keep up the great work.
Thank you glad you noticed!
I like to hear you talk while working or singing or whistling. That's the Dan I know
But if it's ASMR, how can you say "Let's get sticky"?
Love the videos (as always) Dan.
The things you don't miss until they're gone!
A first rate job on those boots. A man who knows his craft well. When my Loakes wear down and need doing I will go to Dan aka 'Father Stitchmas'👍
Hi Dan, hope you’re doing well mate. I know you’re super busy so it’s nice you found some time for a video.
I really like watching all your work. I would never have bet that I would get so interested in watching shoe repair, but it is truly art. Nice job.
Something so calming about watching you do this sir. I’ve been sick for the past couple of weeks and lately I have just put your videos on in the background while I sleep. Very entertaining and relaxing at the same time. Congratulations on all of your hard work and success.

Yesss finally another upload. Felt like ages since the last video !
Ah! ASMR! Much appreciative!
PLEASE MAKE MORE ASMR VIDEOS! The sounds are wonderful, the last & thread cutting sounds are 👌🏼
mmm...I could watch Dan cobble all day... Probably a good thing we are not on the same continent...!
I like the odd ASMR video thrown in! I almost use it as a little test to see how much I've learned from watching your videos and try to name to different parts of the shoe or guess what process come next :)
Love that
Even though you're not talking, I can hear you saying: let's get sticky, and other things that you used to say
Am I that addicted to watching your videos? Yeah, I am.
love this video edition ! seems much more enterteniment !!
Glad to see yoy post Dan. Videos are awesome.
Great ASMR video and first class job Dan. My fav sound is the one made by the old stitching machine. I could watch that for hours.
I was looking forward to a bit of cardboard with 'lets get sticky' next to the tub . well done on the ASMR and Edit👍
Amazing job as always brother!! Such great work!! May God keep blessing you and your work!!
No wonder George is always working on the same shoe, he's not even hitting anything... I hope you're not paying him 😜
Thanks for the asmr version
Love the channel Dan - gonna pop along to your store very soon! Cheers.

Beautiful work as usual! Dan where did you learn your craft and how about showing us your best shoes?
Have you had any pairs of shoes that you've had to resole multiple times? And how many times was it if it was more than one?
I didnt know how much i needed this in my life until now. Please Dan, if you can, do more of these!
I wanted some advice - are Samuel Windsor shoes any good or worth getting?
Defintely not is the quick answer
@@Dan_the_cobbler thanks for answering.
@@Dan_the_cobbler what shoes do you recommend to anyone on a budget

1. I, too, try to get the creases out with alcohol; and 2. What is Ron's backstory?

I think the shoe fetish youtube community is very happy to find this channel
San Francisco fan girl loves your SECURITY DOG!
Хорошо подмолодил!

Great vid, thank you
awesome how you removed the creases from the uppers. Brilliant as usual.
WOW! Smashing job for sure. I was just waiting for that nail to drop to the floor. It's one of my favorite things! Ron is a good dad. I see he's got Reggie right there in the thick of it...learning. Thanks Dan and I hope your spring is going well.
Why did you cover the extractor on the sanding wheel? Asking for a friend.
So hot sparks don’t get sucked into the dust collector bag
It amazes me how many power tools and just sheer pulling apart of stuff there is in shoe repair. I always thought of it as kind of dainty and precise. But nope...freakin' belt sanders and heat guns!
I pref you talking
I was completely unprepared to get sticky without being forewarned. However it’s always a good video nonetheless.
7:16 love that Robin Hood whistle, man that is a nostalgia wave.
Instantly looked it back up.
Any suggestions for a water repellent for high end leather dress shoes?
Cracking Restoration and Repair
Look classier than when new.

Welp, found a new channel to watch 😮💨👍🏽 great stuff
I had no idea until now that cork also comes in paste form and can be molded like play-doh. That looks so freakin fun.

Can you put the red soles on a pair of brogues with leather soles in place.
mate, I was wondering.. when was teh last time you bought shoes for yourself? You just upgrade everything in a level I cannot understnad why you would buy shoes from anywhere when you can repair them....
I enjoy a nice ASMR but Dan, I enjoy hearing from you. Even like your whistle while you work and singing for the joy of it.
Top!!!! Sou fã do canal!!! Se eu fosse mais novo iria ser seu aprendiz!!! É um trabalho muito bonito e profissional!!!Parabéns!! Saúde Paz e luz!
Good one, but I prefer the talking videos. Keep up the awesome work.
14:57 Dan, please do a video on those felt jester shoes 😊
Dan, I have a pair of Waldviertler shoes.

Nice work on a gorgeous shoe/boot.
@Dan you should of signed up for the makers clash. Challenged Trenton and Heath lol. Dominated both in the ring.
Why resole already? Plenty of rubber seemed left on dainite rubber! I can see stitches coming open but still a lot of rubber left... could he have waited until almoat a hole in a rubber or wearing out rubber on toe?
OK. so apparently Gin and Tonic does mix pretty well with shoe repair videos. Cheers says this now converted believer.
Ain't that a thing!? Suddenly both of my twenty something daughters are interested in the craft of cobbling?
🤔
😳 O no you dropped a nail on the floor, you know you have to be careful with the nail coppers watching. Lol
I want shoes made of weed and rubber, green with that brown-ish vibram sole xD with green stitches made of weed too!
Hi
What do you recommended for reviving a leather biker jacket cognac colour please
What kind of shoes are those @14:58 ? Medieval carnival festival coming up soon?
@Dan Sent you a message via the website contact form. Not sure if you've seen or of the system is working.
Hey! Im a Cobbler from Germany! Can u name me the sewingmashine u use? I only have a frobana doublesewer mashine (German name is Doppelnähmaschine), from where i have a top down view only so i cant really stich according to the line. And i have a Hardo "to sew through the insole". But i never saw that mashine.
I watch Trenton and Heath and they use a hot iron on the cork filling. What’s the difference, I notice you do not.
Dan. I noticed you had some decent shoes on in this video. Aren't you worried you might wreck them in the shop? Xx
The cost seems quite reasonable considering the materials needed and custom work.
This is genuinely really good asmr content. Thank you!
Nice job I really enjoyed watching that thank you sir.
Have you ever slipped with the knife and ruin a pair of shoes that you were working on?
Hi Dan, What is your opinion of Benchgrade boots? Just wondering if they are of good quality.
hi good videos iv got lether walking boots is mink oil good for lether boots please
Those didn’t seem very worn to begin with. We’re the old soles getting thin somewhere?
lets get sticky. How many others said that when the glue pot came out?
7:20 Is it some Tex Avery whistling that I'm hearing aye ?
Anyone else get woken up by the whistling?!
Kindly any one tell me please the name of the tool used at 8:13 for engraving
What happened to the inside of your right arm? I see red marks?
What’s the use putting it under the press for 3 seconds? I like to know.
I'd love to see a vid on the red boots at 14:51
Hi, Dan. Always enjoy your channel and look forward to new videos. Great to hear you like traveling. Suggest you consider going to Costa Rica. British Airways has direct flights from London-Gatwick to the capital San Jose. (TIP: Skip the capital. Stick to beaches, and small towns in countryside.)
could close channel stitching be done on dainite sole?
Did anyone else miss "Let's Get Sticky" @ around 4:45...and you know the cobbler wants to get sticky, the milkman wants to get fresh, and the garbage man wants to get trashed.....woof
Those nails didn’t look long enough to go through the heel to the shoe?
Sadly repairing something like basic Loake has become quite obsolete at Finland because the price is more than half of the new pair. Less and less proper goblers around novadays.
Dan l watch on your regular talkie videos. Don't forget no whistling and keep the noise down. ASMR also features Angelo and his pro shoe shine video.which puts me to sleep. In a good way!! Everything is quiet no matter what's going on.
Good luck with ASMR. I like the regular version 🙂.
you didn't paint the sides? any reason for that?
Nice work Dan Loakes are nice 👍
Really enjoyed it....😊👍Thank you Dan!😁
My pleasure!
Man, I used to loooove my yellow brogues. With age, they would turn the most gloriois golden colour.

Super shoe style...and 45 years later, I've still got a boot version.
