      OK I live in the U.S. and I will do the conversion but I want to know how much a complete rebuild like that would cost me if I brought that pair of shoes to you for that job. I have several pairs of cowboy boots and over the years after having them resolved I know I have spent more than the cost of a new pair of boots but the cost is spread out over about 30 years.
      Thank you for a great video of your craftsmanship.

I remember growing up and seeing many of these “shoe repair” places as a kid, none were as talented as this shoe smith but there were many of those stores who either re-soled your shoes, or where you could punch a while in your belt or get a key cut etc. these days everything is cheaper to replace with a badly made short term solution that to actually repair an item that will last you for a lot longer if you spend a little extra to repair.

      The only reason it's niche is because of the imported junk and molded soles. I myself, prefer a leather sole or a stacked leather heel. I like the look and feel of real leather, not all of the man made garbage. I do find it amusing though that people that refuse to wear fur will wear leather shoes or snakeskin belts/purses, shoes.

      I had a shoes made for me in Honk Kong in 1976 and they were the best shoes ever. Being sensible high heels I eventually even had to stop wearing them which was a very sad occasion, due to Chronic knee issues that resulted in a knee replacement. I gave up the number of times I had those shoes repaired but well worth the effort. Now days living in the tropics I only ever wear Flitflops which are perfect for orthotic issues.

    My first time watching the channel. What an amazing job! My father, A"H, ran a shoe repair business back in the 1960's in Atlantic City, NJ. I remember spending hours in the store with the big machines running, the smell of the leather and polishes...really brings back good memories. Was also good to see a frum family engage your services and really appreciate what the quality and artistry of your work. Thanks for making the video!

    When I was in college in North Carolina 25 years ago I got a part-time job with a cobbler and I got to the point where he trusted me enough to do heels and sand soles, and it was the most enjoyable job I've had except maybe a stint as a film projectionist before digital made the job obsolete. It's great to see a young person who's a master at this on TH-cam, it's an ancient tradition that needs to be preserved in our throwaway world.

    I started my working life in 1968 as a trainee shoe repairer and quickly escalated into key cutting and hand engraving (using an old dentist drill. Whilst never reaching your high standards, it did bring back many fond memories, especially the fitting and use of the 'naumkeg'. Great job and video

When I was a young lad my dad had a shoe repair shop in our basement that he did as a side job. I spent many an hour in the basement helping out with the shoe repair chores. I love seeing all the machines and tools that remind me so much of my youth. Thanks for doing this channel and for being such a positive part of so many people's lives.

    My grandfather was a shoemaker. I can’t count how many hours I spent in his workshop just looking at him work. The smells was amazing.
    I even was put to work doing the soles s on the wood clogs. Always a way to earn an ice cream.

Great little shop and great talent passed on to this young man. Very proud of you sir to keep this craft alive!! This is like watch repair, a dying art...gotta tell ya, those metal tips where so cool. You should do a video (not sure if you did) of the best vintage or leather shoes to buy on ebay.
