- In today's recraft, we flew in a special guest Cobbler, Ron from EBR Leathercraft in Brighton, MI. As he fixes a botched repair job, Ron walks us through his journey to become a cobbler and build his business. Now, he needs our help as he tries to grow and keep his cobbler shop afloat as his city shuts down the streets around him.
Support EBR Leathercraft by shipping your shoes to him, buying a gift card or heading down to their Brighton Location.

Tony, you are right, the industry does NOT need to lose a fine cobbler. The picture of the entire street shut down speaks to the lunacy of government solutions. How about do one half, then do the other half? I suppose they never thought of that. Total disregard for the business owner, "we are government" attitude. Thank you for getting his story out to everyone. That was a stand up solid move and this is why subscribers love you man. Mamma always told me smiles are free and people like them. She also said people will know you by your deeds. Amen.
The work and every detail and love to work on that project was perfect ! Another great video ! And is awesome how help friends like him ! Community helping and staying together is the future !
Great video! You are a standup gentleman for promoting Ron’s business. He seems like a fantastic cobbler.
Tony your are brilliant👍 people help others are always the best thing to make a better place. I love all your work and Ron’s work are very good as well. I love your video.
Finally a quality cobbler in Michigan!!! Thanks Tony
Ron is the cobbler I use for most of my stuff. He's incredible. I can't recommend him enough. Tony actually recommended him to me right when he started his business. Great respect for the both of these gentlemen 🙂.
Edit: I'm pretty sure I'm the guy Tony is talking about. 🤪
Hey Andrew!!!
Say what! You got the 15 minute madness in your area too?? Everones getting paid to push this stuff but us hard working folk! Big respect from the UK!
Great video! I love the brotherhood of cobblers. Tony has a big heart and it shows. Tony and his team have re-crafted two projects for me. Well done, Tony!
Excellent video! Hey, glue don't stick, where glue ain't at. Nice work to Ron, enjoyed watching. Thank you Tony @ Wyatt & Dad cobblers, The Carolina boys! 👍
Amazing work 👍
Good Job Ron!!!
Man, I can't get enough of seeing y'all rebuild boots. The craftsmanship is utterly amazing, works of art!
Both of yous are artisans of the highest caliber! Beautiful work!
That’s great to see good cobblers work. A funny. Sidenote I worked as a parts manager at a body shop and they would throw around an insult to a body man that was turning out shotty work. They would call them a cobbler. I don’t think that’s a fair to your trade, you’re definitely craftsman. Anyway, life isn’t fair sometimes keep up the good work And keeping the tradition alive.
That customer has great taste, speed hooks, kiltie, and choosing a fine cobbler to work on his great 10877 boots. When my pair needs to be re soled they’ll be going to him!
I am not surprised that cobblers are networking to help each other. Many of the trades have networked prior to the internet for decades.
I moved to Brighton a few years ago and had no idea there was a good local cobbler. Thank you for the video and I look forward to working with Ron.
Just found the channel. Y’all should have no problem growing in the TH-cam market. Personalities are great and the production of the videos are great. Great work as well!
Tony Thanks I just chatted with Ron and he going to resize my Nicks Belts that is too long after losing weight and some heal lifts on a pair of loafers I have (not the pair that you resoled last May )
he did awesome work! I love that you brought him on the show and it will help keep him open. I can't imagine how defeating it would be to have the government just kill my business and not having any recourse. they need to open traffic or at least give out financial assistance to these guys they are killing. I'll check out his site and see how much I can help!
Thanks!
Brilliant work!
Great job
this makes me want to be a cobbler but i wouldnt no were to start
It's hard to find good cobbler in south Texas. Excellent video!!😊
I know an excellent one in Lufkin. Texas has a lot of southern border, so let me know if that is near you.
@@WyattDadCobblerCompany I'm in Rio Grand Valley by the border.
@@theone9564 unfortunately, I haven’t met anyone down there yet. We are as close as the mailbox for soles and stuff but I can’t help you with the local necessities.
@Wyatt & Dad Cobbler Company I'm 7 hours from Lufkin
@@theone9564 that’s quite a drive. Definitely not considered local. Lol
❤
Did he try to become a member of the SSIA? They have a Cobbler locator page and conventions, etc.
Hey Tony - Great job highlighting Ron! Do you have any recommendations of a "local" cobbler in the west suburban Chicagoland area? I live about 40 miles west of Chicago, and the last local cobbler I used destroyed my dress shoes. I am leery until I see some of their work. Thanks!!
We have a lot of Chicago customers. There is a cobbler, that I heard from one of my former customers, is good. His name is Dan. I will see if I can get you an address. There is a great cobbler in Peoria, but that doesn’t exactly qualify as local, lol.
Here is the information for his shop.
Broadway Shoe Repair
3171 N. Broadway
Chicago, IL. 60657
773.472.8800
@@WyattDadCobblerCompany Thanks for this information. I will check him out!
Tony! Any recommendations in NYC? I live in Brooklyn but don’t mind heading to Manhattan.
There are some good ones in your area. DM us on Messenger or email us at info@professionalcobblers.com
I will find out more details and get you some referrals.
actually, why the moc toe(in the video) can't use logger heel?
It can be converted to a logger style boot. We do them all the time. We even published our last 2 videos of converting a moc toe to a logger style sole. The other job was done with a unit sole that was designed for a different lasted shaped boot, and things were not done to prepare the boot for that shape heel. It’s better to use a sole that comes with a separate heel so it can be shaped to match the lasting of the moc toe.
@@WyattDadCobblerCompany I see, thanks for the detailed explain!
Tony ..I live in Portsmouth Ohio ..can you steer me to a Cobbler in my area?.. Thanks
Unfortunately, we have had a lot of inquiries about Ohio and haven’t been able to meet any cobblers in that state. I’m keeping my eyes open for them.
It's difficult to hear your guest. You need another mic.
He had a mic on. He was just very nervous. Not everyone is at home being filmed. Lol
Great video, love businesses help each other out. Let’s help our local cobblers!
