- In this video, we give this pair of Ferragamo loafers a makeover. A customer asked us to do a complete refurbishment on his shoes, so that's what we did. With new English-made Dainite rubber soles, a little leather sanding, and a dye job, this pair ended up looking...GOOD!

From trash to cash, they look great
Decades long leather workers here. Free hint.
To get the richest looking black - dye your leather brown first and then dye black. Try it!
Love your videos.
Yes! A nice coat of black leather dye (Kelly’s or Zoe’s) will give it that deep color. I didn’t know about the brown dye first - interesting!

A T&H video is a great compliment with my Saturday coffee.
Hey guys, this pair of shoes really came out much better that they were. The sanding was necessary for shoes to get another chance in life. Excellent work, you guys are second to none. Thank you for sharing.
potter&sons... THE BEST
Beautiful job, I just restored my 30 pound weights. They said " throw them away". I thought how can I throw these away, when they have helped me grow so much. I decided to restore them and now theyre better than when I got them over 10 years ago. It's not a shoe/boot but I related to restoring something that meant more to me than money.
Wow! Step by step, one of your best videos documenting the restoration process start to finish.
Great job both cinematic story telling and cobbling wise. Thanks! And Happy Memorial Day to all! 🤙
While I don't care for the shoes themselves, the transformation was very impressive. Another excellent job by a shoe master. Happy Memorial day.
Agreed, those shoes are ......
It really was pointless to give your thoughts on whether you like the shoes or not…the video was about the restoration. So if he started restoring a dried up shit, are you also gonna say, “i dont care for shit”?
@@everardoalba yes it is exactly what I would say, at which point you would say it was pointless to say so and ask a equally stupid question. I hope that you stating your opinion about my opinion somehow enhanced the video experience for you as you.
Restoration magic, a pair of old favorites brought back to life.
Great job as always. They had a lot of cracks. Really love the blue stitching. Have a great weekend.
Amazing transformation! I didn't think there was much that could be done for those shoes, but you pulled it off with ease. Congrats on another fine pair of restored footwear.
Thanks for demonstrating that Blake welt!!!
Nice job! Good rescue on the leather. The blue thread looks great. I was wondering if anything was done on the insole.
Blue thread looks so good one these!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Another amazing restoration!
So enjoyable to watch, great job!
I'm always amazed by the work you guys do, great job.
Wow! Looked as good as new! Amazing job!
Awesome! One of your best!!
The final results blew my mind! Great job! Thank you for such a great upload!
Amazing change from start to finished shoe !
Huge transformation! Another great job and the touch of blue is a huge difference!
Bravo !!! Big thumbs up for this job. Congrats.
Wow - well rescued. Lovely result👍👍
Such precision!! Wonderful to watch ❣️✨❣️
WOW total restoration great job as always. Really enjoy when you add some color
Very satisfying! Had my doubts when I saw them in the beginning, but Wow!!
Big thumbs up on this pair of survivors, nice transformation.
Amazing job
Wow these turned out great!
I love how understated the styling is on these.
Amazing what you guys can do to old, worn out shoes. Nice job!
I can't wait for one of my pairs of Red Wings to wear out so I can have these gents resole them.
Using the hydration products was one of the BEST lessons you guys taught me. I always cleaned and polished my shoes, but really was unaware of the hydration part. I can learn, so why not. Good video. That man will wear those shoes for a good while longer now.
These loafers have such shoddy construction and workmanship. Great job improving them
Ferragamo is all about the name, glad I'm not the only person who sees right through their terrible build quality. The guys really made a massive improvement on them.
Loved watching this - you did an amazing job on some very well loved shoes! Superb work snd awesome detailed content again! Many thanks!
Yes, Trenton did an amazing job, but the shoes were *not* well loved. They were *badly* neglected, making the rebuild that much more amazing!✨
Hey Trenton! Am not a loafer guy, but man, I enjoy watching you guys working!
Where's Heath?
Nice job! They look great!! 👍🏾🙂
Wow back to great shoes. Ty
Great work and fascinating to watch. 👍
Great video!
"There is only so much I can do". Well, it turns out that that is a LOT! Skillful hands there. 👍
As a boot-black, I am very impressed by the way you reconditioned the cracked leather.
Magic!
Another great shoe makeover. It's amazing what some new parts can do to pair of worn out shoes r boots..
Looks great,
Very nice upgrade, they look very nice😀
Great video
great work!
Good job 👍🏻
Mind blowing
You guys do amazing work. I feel you should talk about the cost of the different restorations you do so we get a sense as to the cost of repairs
These shoes could have walked 200 years more before the old soles would have fallen down on their own.
Great job as always
Great Job, love the restorations. Hey you know some people prefer that aged vintage look.
Also as a former Army guy, I have seen how leather after some extra love, those remaining cracks with shrink some more as long as conditioner is added. But like you said you can only go so far.
Thanks for the great content.
So true!
Great Job guys!!! I would've thrown those out : )
Dang!!! That was a transformation, what more could you ask for, huh!?! Have a great Memorial Wkend and Day -- not a better time to simply "appreciate"!!!! Be Safe
They look great I would have no problem wearing them to work out an evening out.
Have to see in order to believe it!!!
Nice work on the uppers, they were goners before they arrived in your shop!
Nice job!!! He’s gonna get several years out of those!
Welcome 🙏 back thought you guys fell asleep on me
Great work bringing back a pair of dilapidated shoes. They are looking really good. As for the particular style.... I'll make my comments off air.
Great video!!
Thank you for all the great info. What grit do you use to sand the leather upper?
Great work! Love to see the transformation.
I have a pair of Ariat ostrich boots that are black can they be color stripped and re dyed brown?
Intensive and well thought
out reworking of old shoes
Was the Blake Welt sewn onto
the body of shoe? I replayed and
couldn't tell
Choice of soles
and thread 👍
Love y'all's videos. Still trying to understand all the terminology. Any chance y'all could do a video strictly explaining the difference in all the types of soles and heels. Like what is a Goodyear welt exactly vs a Blake Welt? etc.
Another great job and a great video - thanks!
If it's not too personal, how come that two brothers have such different accents? Particularly on the vowel sounds.
Hey guys, awesome work as always. This may be a broken record question but I have been itching to get a pair of mens sandals, any idea when they’ll be available?
Good morning Trent. I have to say I never would have thought those loafers would have turned out as well as they did. However I should have known better as you guys have the Midas touch when it comes to making shoes and boots look better and repaired with better materials than how they came from the factory. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.🙂🇺🇸 BTW what brand of T-shirt were you wearing . Really showcased the guns.💪
Is there a way to recreate the surface where they have been sanded as I have never found a way that looks really good
What do you think about steam/heat shrinking the leather? I have done this for extremely high-milage car's seats with the great efforts. Dunno about longevity cause car was for sale but seats looked amazing.
Counting days for the next video.
Excellent work amazing result as always! The point is that these shoes are no longer Ferragamo's they are Trenton & Heath's....

You actually made those shoes 100% better than they ever were. I love to see you guys work. Great video.I am surprised to see the very expensive Ferragamos being a glued on construction. I would think they would be Goodyear welted as they are pretty expensive. Florsheim is doing the same thing in many of their models. You upgraded those shoes to where they would actually be a fun pair of elegant walking shoes.
The Ferragamos were Blake stitched
@@adriansaavedra7923 I hear you. But Ferragamos go for close to bespoken prices ($1300.00 plus) I expected far stronger construction than that.
@@otracuentaperra4290 I agree totally but it needed to be established that they were at least a step above cemented.
@@adriansaavedra7923 Well, maybe a teeny, tiny baby step??
@@brookeggleston9314 Blake stitch is a fairly good sized step
No doubt their work is of the highest caliber. That kind of ability and care doesn't usually come cheap.Recently a local guy quoted me a price for a cowboy boot resole that came very close to the price of a new pair. Six months earlier another guy quoted me half of the second guy's quote. . He must have regretted his estimate because after six months he had not even started the work. After being promised and disappointed and two more wasted trips across town I reclaimed my unrepaired boots( which I believe is just what he wanted me to do) . Too bad I don't live near Tennessee
In the shop I used to work at we would never tackle a job like that when the uppers looked that bad ..
Hey, what product would y'all recommend using to condition Lucchese full-quill ostrich boots?
Is the Blake welt (8:30) more for aesthetics? I don't see its functionality being glued on without stitching to hold the sole.
Yes
It is for aesthetics really. It keeps the shoe a little slimmer and it’s usually used on more dressy classy shoes. I’m not sure if it’s less secure than a Goodyear welt, but a Blake stitch isn’t used a whole lot of work boots
Hey guys, with all of the knives you use, sharp nails and pulling on something then it unexpectedly releases, how many times a week do you draw blood?
"These shoes have seen better days..."
And, most likely, worse nights.
Do you need heal blocks what if I wanted a more zero drop?
What do you guys think about square toed shoes?
Nice work, how much did it cost?
Question
Normally you had sow the welts in this case you didn't do that is there a particular reason why
What kind of glue do you usually use while restoring the shoes?
can you guys change the shape of the shoe. i.e. go from that square toe to a narrower square toe? Curios. Maybe do a video like that?
For garage cobblers on a budget, what machine would you recommend for sanding edges, soles, etc?
A basic belt linisher or linishing attachment for a bench grinder.
Readily available, just put the name in your search & numerous sizes,types,prices will "pop up".
Happy hunting.
Was it initially Goodyear welted then Blake stitched?
Where on earth did you guys find all of this equipment? I have no idea where to even start.
anyone else get ASMR vibes? gday from Australia
❤️
Wondering,how much to do this job?
Just a question, I never saw you guys using leather fillers. Is there a reason for that?
13:11 "shit..." 😂
Great job, you brought them back to life. The style of those loafers looks very dated with the square toe.
Those were pretty rough, sentimental value is about the only value that was left in those puppies. Condition, condition, condition guys. LOL Those soles were the ticket for these, hopefully the uppers will hold together as long as the soles do.
👍
Was the shoe worth fixing?
