Cobblers have waited literally thousands of years for TH-cam to show that their profession is pretty damn cool
I think its the buffed up dude that brings in the ladies
Lol. I have had my shoes repaired and I always wondered what they did to fix it and better than new too.
watching nearly all craft and workmanship is so mesmerizing. watchmen, blacksmith, carpenter etc.
Hardly the story, as you well know. Cobblers have just been doin’ their thing, getting on with the trade, making customers happy with a new lease on life for their well worn footwear. Then YT struts along and suddenly we’ve windows into *ALL* the expert tradesmen & -women and their worlds. And it is awesomely f&*kin cool. We *LOVE IT*.
***ROCK ‘N’ ROLL!!!***
Cobblers around the world are now getting a lot more tail.
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!
what kind of glue does he use for the sole??
@@Ryan-zm2nr he’s 75 I’m 48 and it took me awhile to figure out how to turn on notifications to comments so he probably is not getting the reply.
@@Ryan-zm2nr likely cement
Awesome!
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.
Thanks!
I’m not sure how I ended up here, but I’m not mad about it.
Me to .. lol. I was watching crv video and this guy pops up lol
Same 😂😂. Gotta love TH-cam.
Same
I uh... .same
same here but i love this videos. nice job man...
No idea how I came here, but once I've started watching, I couldn't stop anymore
I somehow came here from a Covid video, no idea how but hey its more positive and now I'm hooked
You and me both!
Same
And me 🤣
I grew up getting my shoes repaired. Back then, everyone did. Now I need will start again, b/c I buy good shoes.
Nice to see we still have someone who takes pride in their work
There are plenty, but most jobs just want speed. If you care, better be self employed.
EXPETACULAR PARABENS
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897
You say "better be self employed"; don't you know that people are losing their businesses right now?
“Wet as water”, “ walking in circles”, “hammer time” 😂- really enjoyed watching the craftsmanship and your humor!
And the added bonus of ' our soles' too!
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.
Trenton & Heath. they're on youtube. great cobblers.
Theres American cobblers, these days thru do orthopedic shoes and shoes that would be expensive to replace, same as here. I also recommend Trenton and Heath, watched a video by them recently where they resolved a coal miner’s boot. Made it a lot more rugged and ready to take the mud and hydraulic fluid of an Appalachian coal mine
America has the best work boot makers, im from Ireland and we have a lot cobblers and key makers, but you can't get a decent, per of work boots
@@markilleen4027 lMAO, I can’t imagine a single boot is actually manufactured in the US anymore and if it is don’t let a democrat know. They will destroy that business.
@@TheRonin248 you don't know what you're talking about. White's, Red Wings, Alden. None of them with any particular political affiliation. Talking absolute cobblers.
I have a hunch this guy's handshake is a death grip
CONSUME
OBEY .. MARRY AND REPRODUCE .. RE-SOLE YOUR BOOTS
@@RNCHFND me too, ..no homo..
I’ve got two that can see
Like how he’s happy and proud of his work. That’s the attitude, people. It translates to incredible output.
Yes ,that s the best thing .
Disney Robin Hood whistling, brings back memories.
My favorite was king richard!
@@Dan_the_cobbler yeah was great character!
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.
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!
Yea, he really makes this video pretty interesting
Snugglez
Well he did start to whistle at one point!
I really appreciate how clean his shop is
And the man himself
For real! A sign of someone. who cares about his business also 💪💪💪!
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..
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.
🤓👍🇺🇸
Great that someone takes pride in his profession. Just great to see this guy.
Thanks Mocha!
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
Yeah but too expensive to have this done. Therefore… trash and replace
@@HaganChannel once you become a boot nerd like me you realize you need to spend $300 MINIMUM to get a pair of boots that is even passable. Carmina is the best boot for the money
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.
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.
When a person loves his job well, he always shines, my sincere affection.
You're totally correct; I play drums and I love it too much,, I'm always smiling when behind the drums,, js
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!
Haters gonna hate 😫 haha thanks though appreciate the view
I assume it’s pocket dislikes, fans who were listening to the video & put their phone in their pocket which made their phone hit thumbs down… had it happen to me while modding
Nothing beats a man whose work is his passion.👍👍👍
thanks!
This dude takes his shit seriously, nice workshop
Thanks Damian appreciate it 🙏

Great to see a young man with enthusiasm in his trade 👌😀😀😀
The lost arts of the old trades are getting the traction I see, good work and nice quality of work and attitude you have.
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.
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
Yeah, these days everything is “throw away”
Yup, I haven’t seen one since I was a kid in the 90s and even then it was a oddity.
I have seen only 2 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. One closed about 4 years ago. The two remaining shops are about 4 weeks out on any repairs.
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!
It's a shame that we live in a world that manufactures so much disposable junk.
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.
it's actually funny, that i can watch litterally anything in this lockdown....
like learning to rebuild an automatic transmission. not like we dont have the time
@@montanaspring7176 great stuff
like, actually literally positvely absolutely?
@Mason David The proof that masks and social distancing is working is very weak, or the fact that it may do more harm than good. Whether or not you want to be a guineapig when it comes to the vaccines is another topic.
@Mason David Lets hope you dont get the bad end of it! I have lung disease from asbestos already. Im sure covid would kill me. You are flippant about life. Not good.
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! 😊
I have no idea why youtube recommended these to me but they are really watchable!
Because those boots look nice
Jajajajajaj same!
Same as me

May be TH-cam could smell your stinky socks and tried to coax you into putting your shoes back on
you really do not see Shoe Repair shops too much any more. GREAT Craftsmanship
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!!
it's rare to see someone with your skills nowdays . fantastic 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!
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.
Always like watching a dedicated craftsman at work. I can see you love your job!
Hand craftsmanship! THIS IS HOW YOU ACHIEVE QUALITY!
BY HAND!
Exactly he can handle me anytime😍😍
Was great seeing this my Dad owened a shoe repair shop from1964 to 1997 brought back lots of memories
I love my boots but now, I started appreciating the one who work hard on them with the skills.👍
Awesome working professional!!
Love the workmanship. Takes patience that most people dont have . Plus a steady hand.
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.
Loved the' butchered.'
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.
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! :)
Thank you I appreciate that a lot 👌
@@Dan_the_cobbler do you lift bro?
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
Truth. I felt the same way.
Great to see a perfectionist tradesman at work....Takes pride in his work...
Great to see a craftsman at work and for some reason therapeutic
Who knew being a cobbler was so amazing man knows his kraft nice to see someone enjoy their job 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks Dan. Four pair of my shoes received some TLC today, while watching your videos. Great to watch. Oddly satisfying 😌
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 probably very much down to cost of doing this. New Earthkeepers cost £155 retail, you can get them discounted for £108 from Timberland. I would wager that replacing the soles alone will cost you very close to or equal in parts and labor than the £108, not talking about leather midsoles. The soles alone cost you anywhere from £15 to £20 per sole without the markup. Then the craftsman has to pay himself a decent wage and account for the running costs of the shop itself. I might be wrong, but looking at the amount of time spent on this pair of boots I cannot see this being very much cheaper than £100. I mean, you make a Rolls Royce out of a Vauxhall, but do you need it? That's each individual's question to respond to. I came here because with the snow out I just discovered a crack in the sole of my Timberlands, but they cost me £70 from Timberland. Not sure if I want to spend that much to re-sole them if I can get a pair of new boots with the sales.
Most shoes can’t be repaired. Shit quality to start can never be repaired
@@gags730 exactly my point. It’s a shame because seeing guys like this makes me want to spend good money more often on quality
End up saving money in long run having repairs done than buying new pair every 6 - 12 months
I like the guy the way he speaks look very humble person good job 👏
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.
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.
Nice job, never knew Timberland soles can be repaired like this, now I know who to contact when I need mine done 🙂🙂
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
These videos are soooo satisfying.
You’re such a perfectionist.
Just the thing to take one’s aching mind away from the craziness of the world.
You are a mind-healer.
Excellent workmanship, a very fine sense of humor and you evidently love your trade. Congratulations, dude!
I stumbled upon this video by accident and watched it all the way through. Satisfying video. I subbed!
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.
"You know what time it is....HAMMER TIME!" -Bedo's leatherworks. Love this content! Amazing work, great explanation of the process, great dialogue going.
I enjoy watching someone repair or build something, it satisfies my ocd 🤙🏻
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 🤣🤣
1.5 million views and only 41 thousand subs, that is not right. I love this guy
I have been spending lock down time learning about boots and boot repair. I just subscribed. I could watch these videos all day. Thanks
Welcome aboard!
I'm no longer bored with your interesting videos. Very nice work that you are presenting. You are clearly a specialist and you know exactly how it all works.
Wish you good luck and thank you for your great videos. Stay healthy : )
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.
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
Quality workmanship is the signature of the quality of the person. Kudos and cheers.
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!
Thanks for sharing ! :)
I like this guy! A pleasure to watch!
An excellent job, hopefully everyone will work like this professionally. Congratulations, good job.
A brilliant man with a good sense of humor at 12:18. " Because if it wonky, he will end up walking in circles!" The caliber of a man is in doing something that he can guarantee to work and this gentleman's manipulations and processes, measures him in an absolute manner. Most people in modern life never do anything that needs to be guaranteed and they give vociferous services without ever making a tangible product ensuring that they are never measured absolutely but relatively, to other people around them, which is no measure at all!! Congratulations on the workmanship and the sense of humor.
I have a pair of those same Timberlands, and you have inspired me to give them the same loving cleaning. Great work there.
I didn't search for it... But bloody well enjoyed it! Absolute cobblers - great job Dan.
When you said hammer time, I had something completely different in mind.
Ive never been so invested in boots before.
One of the best content creators ive had the pleasure of watching.
Ty yt algorithm
it was so lovely how you replaced that sole and your shop is so organized.... keep it up
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.
"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.
They absolutely can, appreciate the support!
this is cool, I've been a lineman here in the States for 40 years... I've had good work boots and, bad ones same with my hiking shoes but, always having to roll the dice and buy new ones... if I had a guy like you near by I would have MUCH happier feet. My son plays baseball. I can imagine the magic you can do with a baseball glove.
Always wanted to make shoes, But! this was still Awesome to watch, Start to finish! Hand off to you and salute from
UK to real Trades Men around
Cork filler? Never heard of it before now. Every day’s a learning day! Great work. 👍🏻
Thank you for making lockdown a little easier. Love to watch a craftsman at work.
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!
Just stumbled across your channel. I think this is the 3rd video I've watched now. It is surprisingly satisfying seeing you repair someone's much loved pair of footwear. Repairing a shoe is something most people don't even think of these days (much) and on the plus, youtube makes you some extra cash on the side!
I have these exact boots and im about to toss them out. Now Im having second thoughts. Really good vid.
Dancing a lot of bachata will do that to your boots lmfao
The cost of a new pair of Tims is low. If you had a pair Frye boots or another better boot it would be worth a repair. I had a similar tim boot and it was like 100$ to do all this vs 200 for new, I felt it wasn’t worth it. Took my 200 and found a pair fryes on sale from 450 to 260 and got those....
He’s whistling one of the songs from the animated version of Robin Hood! My daughter loved that when she was a kid. 😁
I knew it! One of the best animated films ever.
I was trying to figure out where that's from
This is pure talent with a ton work behind it!! Nice job
a fine young man with a rare and excellent trade.
God Bless you.
This is GREAT to see, i've noticed a bit of a resurgence in Shoe Repair, when i was 14 many many many many, many many moons ago my first job ever was at a Cobbler's Workshop repairing, resoling etc etc etc, now that i'm 50 i really love seeing this almost lost art form coming back, great great video.
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.
These boots are so nice. I need to get the exact pair.
I first saw you yesterday putting on some Jr leather and some Lulu tips. Then today I see you upgrading some Timberlands. At first I was entertained, and now I feel informed. I have had a nice pair of green Timberlands in my closet for a while. The ankle pulled away from my upper, but I couldn't bring myself to throw them away. I am so happy to know that they can be fixed. Thank you for your wonderful video
Nothing beats an old fashion hand power TLC on a pair of shoes sole replacement! GOOD JOB!
AWESOME video! Here in America it's almost impossible to find a shop that will do boot repairs anymore.
This is amazing I'm over here thinking I need to stock up on shoes and now I'm inspired to learn how to repair and restore my own shoes. Thank you.
You’ll need a lot of kit! Take it to your local cobbler! Or better yet mail to me 😃
@@Dan_the_cobbler tryna do you out of work eh
@@Dan_the_cobbler You have a huge investment in tools, no doubt. Excellent workshop you have there. I really enjoyed the video. Cheers from the US!
I’m here by choice and love it. Great work always!
I've watched a few of your vids now and i've had that tune from Disney's Robin Hood in my head for days. Thanks for that
