Are you sure your not a magician because you just did some magic on all those shoes Sir awesome job Steve you are the man I absolutely love your channel I could watch you all day every day. Now let's continue. I pray May God bless you and your family and Keep you all safe.
TALENTED GUY
The Shell Cordovan owner has to be ecstatic! He traded garbage and $485.00 and got in return a $850.00 pair of shoes that are 99% as good as new!! Sign me up!! The other shoe while beautifully down may not reflect the same savings but you've restored the uppers from the grave, and rebuilt with a sole and heel that will be tougher and give longer service than a brand new pair!! Amazing job Steve and thanks for the lesson!!
Pure. Cosmetic. Surgery!!! You did WORK!! Good job!
Excellent jobs, Steve!
No need to apologize. I enjoy the leather trouble shooting and treatment videos. It’s most applicable to us because we can use these technique ourselves. I don’t think I’m going to attempt a resole any time soon.
Steve, you may not know how much your video's are appreciated in these very hard times. It takes my mind off the current pandemic for 20 minutes. I can sit in my chair and not think about anything else for just a little while and watch you bring back 2 pairs of shoes from the edge of the trash. Thank you for persevering and offering some respite. Hammertime! May you and yours be safe and healthy.
Steve, loved the video. So, a few years ago I ruined a pair of brown Allen Edmonds Cornwallis by walking through some salty snow/slush. I was devastated! I happened upon your original video of restoring water damaged uppers and went through EVERY step. It did the job. The stains were gone. But then I made a mistake and used a shoe leather dye and literally painted it on. It looked horrible. And to make matters worse, upon flexing, the dye started to peel off. Anyway, I let be for almost 3 years. A few days ago, I stripped off the dye/paint with some brake cleaner and applied some Saphir renovator, brown shoe polish and wax. Man, did it bring back the colour and the shoes look great. Thank you for your tips on how to restore the water damage. I will probably have them recrafted by a local cobbler and get new soles.
I have a pair of black leather boots that I wore in 4 inches of wet slushy snow while pushing a legless man in a wheelchair across a salt-treated parking lot. (It’s a long story.)This caused a huge white salt residue stain around both boots. I immediately went home and cleaned them with white vinegar. Then conditioned and polished them. That was twenty years ago and they still look as good as new. My dad taught me how to take care of my shoes. I used to polish his shoes every Saturday night so that they would be ready for Sunday morning church.
Yes, I have used the white vinegar and water trick too but not to the extent of soaking them and then wrapping them in paper towels and a plastic bag for a few days. Wonder what Steve would say about the vinegar method?
I appreciate the “no hammer time” warning. I finished the video anyhow.... really enjoyable.
Thanks Steve you are a star, please take care keep safe and thank you for you kind words at the end of your video, all our very best wishes from lockdown Reading England 🏴 x❤️👵🏻sue & 👴🏻Andy.
A 50/50 mix of acetone and denatured ethyl alcohol makes a very good solvent. You should get both at Home Depot.
As always you are a genius at work!
Rance, what does the acetone exactly do to the leather? Seems like it would strip the dye. I just don’t understand what it does? Thanks for your advice.
As a chemist, I would not recommend putting pure acetone into the red plastic cup. Two reasons. One: Acetone evaporates quickly in open containers. Two: Acetone is likely to dissolve the plastic cup or extract plasticizers from the plastic. Plasticizers can be transferred into your body by the acetone, and they can cause cancer or worse Reduce Testosterone levels, as most plasticizers are estrogen-like compounds.
I once put acetone in a plastic cup and the cup's bottom dissolved... Fortunately, I only tried that once.
You can see on the paper towel when you remove it that where it was touching thestained area - the paper towel is now discolored. Great technique!
Thank goodness...seeing your video is a needed change from current news. NO HAMMERTIME🙀🥰🥰🥰 You have really been working on your shop. So neat and tidy. Fabulous transformation of the shoes. Amazing.
No Hammer time? Hah!!! I made my own hammer time. Tapped a large can of butane on the bar top. Excellent video. Going to need to watch this a few more times to get it all down.
Interesting. I have worked on several uppers that had water and salt stains and I just stripped the waxes with Renomat, used Saphir Salt Stain formula on the water stains, after dried, Cleaned with Saddle Soap, then when dried I used Saphir Conditioner and let soak and dry for 2-3 days and done. Back to new. But I love watching how others approach things differently as one never knows when they will come across a scenario where the formula they normally use, doesn't work. Just another alternative approach to accomplishing the same thing.
Your name isn't Steve. It's MERLIN! You are a regular magician, sir! Today, I wore a decent pair of cowboy boots to work on a rainy day, and got some salty water stains on them. They deserved better. Many thanks for another informative and entertaining video!
You are confident and determined. Admirable
I strangely immediately keep on clicking these video's, I looooove making things. Instead of a scientist I should've been an engineer. And this is sooo relaxing to watch, thanks!
Helpful tips in this video. I knew a time as a lady leaving the job and it was a down pour of rain, off came my leather shoes and popped on the ugly shoes to wear. No way was I going to let that water ruin my shoe, lol
The calf shoes look almost brand new...
Steve is a MAGA boy and a right wing conspiracy promoter
@@briannawilliams7370 You good? I think youve got the wrong video
I swear so so many look brand new . He’s not a magician but dam close. He definitely pulls the rabbit out of the hat!
@@briannawilliams7370 move on!!
I like this video the best. Not all the bragging and acting weird. I enjoyed this format. Oh, great job!
I think you sold yourself short with how you described the outcomes here...BIG TIME...those Alden shells look amazing, and the whole color scheme on them between the uppers and soles is eye candy. Plus, if those AE's didn't have any of the slight wrinkles in them from wear, I'd have thought they were brand new out of the box! Continue to stay safe and healthy during this time, and thanks for the great content!
Hi Steve, nice work...👍.
Loved the contrasting colours on the mid sole...👍.
Great work Steve
i was thinking it would be great if you had a permanent webcam on all the time, but then I realised that I would get nothing done in my life lol, 24hr bedos sounds great
Great video for water damage of both calfskin and shell.
New watch? Very nice. Awesome job on these beat up old shoes.
Excellent and educational..keep up the good work
Very interesting. First time I have seen a procedure like this.
Thanks for the tip about the Swedish shoe bath.
Greetings from Sweden. Stay safe
Those look fantastic. The calf skin looks almost like new leather.
Always appreciate the before & after pics. TY
This was a great project, the customer will be very pleased I'm sure. I'm glad you still have customers. We down under are closed, in lockdown. only essential services. Work from home. Catch phrase, stay the f *** home , stay in your area (neighborhood), stay in your bubble ( family in your house) . No cars on the street. No flour at the market. Little foot traffic, its ppl getting exercise. 1 has died , 500 sick. Stay safe Steve , this thing is a major., but you'll know this! Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Take care....bleach the sole of the shoes...lol
great job with the brief case was the owner pleased , it looked great maybe he thought you are a time traveller went back 60 years and bought a new briiefcase ,
your work is the best Ive ever seen , you should advertise yourself as a Consultant !!!
well done Steve
What a difference!
I especially liked this project. I got into watching shoe repair videos like yours to learn about leather and how to take care of my leather golf shoes. You can imagine the stuff golfers walk through: wet grass in the morning, all the pesticides and chemicals used, etc. So far I have avoided the need for a Swedish bath, but that is an interesting process I may want to try someday.
As always a FANTASTIC JOB.
Omg . You didnt just bring the shoes a little back . They were a bad case of * CLEARRRR!!* awesome job . They look brand new . 😁
What a transformation.
Those shoes look really great! You are a miracle worker! Stay safe!
They look like new shoes. Wow
I happen to a pair of shoes that need a Swedish bath. I am glad that you shared this knowledge because I really do want to care well for my leather shoes.
Bloody good effort. Two pairs that will last as least as long as they have so far... and I prefer a bit of wear.
I say WOW, they look GREAT..
Sorry, late to the party again here Steve. Lovely job and properly interesting. Gotta look after real leather.... it rewards you with a warm glow though. Nothing wrong with those shoes now, bit of long service marks, but absolutely presentable and still better than mass produced rubbish
Outstanding work as always!
Nice work on these shoes.
Unbelievably good work!
Learning everthing,this was realy nice ,👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️thx again for the vlog and your time Steve .see you next time 👍🏻
Impressed, AGAIN! Y'all stay safe, Steve!
Thank you for putting out a new video!
Wow 🤩! Amazing job Steve!
I’ve been traveling in the Midwest for years...ruined several pairs of Allen Edmunds in the snow and ice. Wish I would have know how to do this years ago!
Thank you, Steve! Some valuable information in this vlog.
You make my day as always Steve!
It's little short of insane the difference you have made to these shoes. Man they look new again. I'm so impressed, from NZ.
Hello Steve, I was born in Toronto and walked through tons of salty slush. I thought my shoes were ruined but a friend told me to apply vinegar by wiping a vinegar soaked rag onto the salt stains and within five minutes the salt stains were gone. Well maybe half an hours but it works.
All the best, Edgar
You are SUCH an artist Steve!!! Thank you so much for all your videos!
Excellent job Steve! Well done!
What an incredible restoration. I'm very sorry your business is paying the toll of this virus. Stay safe.
Steve, you are a master. Thanks for bringing us along.
Amazing procedures and even better results!
Outstanding work as always Steve! Stay safe. Best wishes to you and yours!
I don`t even wear shoes, but I like masters at work.
Steve you are the king when it comes to leatherwork!! Take of yourself mate - John down under:-D
What a beautiful craft, and such knowledge!💛
Great video. It’s cool to see the different repairs that you undertake. Appreciate the attention to detail.
Hey Steve, greetings from Valley Mills, Texas would you please explain in a video the difference of what you do and that of a typical cobbler. I watch several different cobblers videos and while they are very good you still blow them away. God gave you an abundance of talent. Thanks for all the cool videos, you the man!
Great work, Steve! I'm amazed how they both turned out! I'm looking forward to sending you one of my pairs of AE when the time comes no matter the cost! I'm a long time watcher so having one of my pairs worked on by you and having the Bedo's stamp would make them a trophy in my eyes!
I am so amazed at how good you got those shoes looking. You do such amazing work.
Good job, and good advice Steve! You take care too.
These babied? ......you can bring anything back.....even from the dead. A good scrub and the Bedo’s touch and tips too. Very very good job Steve.I love the tips, it fancies them up and looks smart.
Steve, you are an ARTIST!
Excellent job on both pairs!
Another great transformation--nice to see these positive videos during these difficult times. And your shop looks immaculate! Stay well and be well.
Your work on those shoes blew my mind, so beautiful! Really enjoyed watching.
Those are two beautiful restorations, Steve! Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed watching it since I'm trapped inside!
Loving the end results.
Glad to see you. Keep safe to. Here in Europe its heavy. They talk about losing the year... pffff like 2020 will nothing be happening except staying at home and survive... big hugs and stay safe...
Amazing Transformation!
You are such a pro, and a teacher too, learning with every video. Thank you!
Wow, I can't believe how nice they came out, just amazing. You do great work.
I really enjoyed that. You answered some questions that have pestered me for years.
Very impressive! You sir are a true craftsman!
Damn you got all the tricks good job vatche
You take care as well! Keep safe, all the best!
Thanks for the video, I learned something. Both pairs of shoes look great, and no they do not look like plastic.
We appreciate your videos! We like that the subject matter changes up. It’s all good!
Nice job!! The oxfords finished up beautifully! 👍
Impressive. Thanks for posting it.
Hope you're staying healthy.
Not bad, and you are looking well rested!
Recently found your channel & enjoy watching. You are truly a master craftsman, sir.
Just found your videos, and they are amazing, a true craftsman, bravo sir
Thank you Steve
Stay safe, Steve. Thanks for another great video.
Awsome job Steve, when I was in high school I was in the JROTC program and we had problems with the salt build up but never realized that rain water could be the cause, we thought it was our styles and techniques in shinning our shoes and boy did we have some weird concoctions. You're doing a great job in educating everyone in proper shoe care and I wish I had this video 40 years ago, LOL. After 6 years in the USMC I to this day do my spit shine ritual with kiwi and water instead of spit and get that 12 inch ruler mirror shine. Thank you for sharing and caring for all us viewers. God bless.
Quality!!! Nice looking shop also!
Keep waiting for that magic moment when you tell a joke and your compressor goes off.
Thanks steve! I always learn from you. I enjoyed this very much.
