As others have stated already this is a good temporary fix. The leather across the entirety of the top is degraded from lack of cleaning and waxing. My opinion is to make a width wide strip the top of the shoe covering all the holes. A crease will always look for a weak point and in time will create holes like this. This is a good repair just not a permanent one
The three patches he did are a permanent fix, they will not tear or debond, nor will a hole form near those patches, due to the patches strengthening the crease. Trying to add a wide strip in the crease zone would make for ultra stiff, unwearable shoe.
If the customer agreed, I would suggest making it a captoe, or wingtip, and replacing the whole front toe with a new piece of leather stitched on. Although you did a great job after a few weeks the hole repairs would be noticeable, as opposed to a wingtip. Also for which type of repair to you use Disaronno?🙂
Given the leather damage along the same crease, the patches seem quite small for the repair to last. I'd like to see how the repair holds up after 2 months of wear.
I agree with you. I don't think this patchwork would last long. Besides, i m totally not impressed with the work performed. Not more than wastage of time and efforts.
seeing as there was an actual hole, or holes, the patches only took care of the surface. was anything done under the holes? was there another thicker patch ? I th the holes would be sandwiched between the patch on top and inside
Would have loved to see the customers eyes when she saw the repaired shoes. I'm sure she did't belive that it was possibe to repair them like you did. Perfect! Many greetings from Germany!
Can I say that you have done a great service to repairing an otherwise badly damaged shoe/shoes. Also don’t worry too much about what the critics say as You have done a cracking job. 😅😅😅
Can you include a lists of that glue, coloring etc that you're using somewhere? If you use some sponsored links, that would be helpful for you as well.
Fantastic result I have to say. One question: Wouldn't it be viable to replace the full leather cap? The leather on this shoe is pretty worn out on multiple parts of the cap.
It's amazing that it's been restored like that. The restoration process is cool, and the person who repairs and uses it is so cool. Humanity has to live like that in the future. This is because unconditional production more than necessary will only shorten the lifespan of the Earth.
I agree. Sadly there are so few people who know how to do anything anymore, nor do they seem to care. They just keep buying and tossing. One reason being things are made so badly these days, nothing lasts.😞
Great job. A question or 2 comes up. . Why not also use a larger, thinner patch from the inside? . why not use a fibre bonding agent on cuts after they are bonded flash in place (before) finishing with outside patch? Regardless, these type of repairs are bound to give way, aspatched areas remain weak, against constant outward pressure.
Wonderful work, I do wish you had listed the products you used to glue, fill, shine. What product did you use to fill the other cracks ? How long did the repair last ?
I have seen holes repaired like that with only glue, but not with extra leather. Yours came out really well. Would, be interesting to see the longevity of the two techniques due to wear and tear. Amazing repair...
So question would it also work if you put the leather patches on the interior of the boot with contact cement then once it was dried filled in the holes with the leather putty till it was even with rest of the vamp then polished up ?
the problem with this is the repairs are over areas that bend. You'd need to know for sure the putty can handle being flexed and bent without peeling or tearing apart. With a leather transplant like this the amount of visible non-leather material that's taking on bend stress is minimal
Excellent, I have a shoe factory where we get shoes for repair to do can you please suggest me the chemical that you have used, looking forward for your answer
this is very impressive I wish I could send my leather boots (old finnish army boots I bought from a surplus store they don't sell/make them anymore) to you to see what you could do to them, the problem I have is the "sleeve?" of the boots have become very saggy and because of that sagging some holes have formed on the wrinkles that I just stitched shut, the holes aren't the part I have a problem with they're working boots I just want to find a way to stop the sagging
It’s video like these makes me wish I could join this trade! But when i tried asking to be taught by boot repairs they didn’t want to teach 😢 It’s hard to join this field
Hi man, I've black leather boots and I saw a small snag on the top at the toe of the shoe. The leather is strong and there are no holes, but is there any way to make it less visible? May I show you if it's okay?
I would not have guessed that these boots could be salvaged. They LOOK great now, my only concern is, how long will the repair hold up? Masterful work, sir!
I suggest simply through it away because the other parts of this boot are also very fatigue. For one boot, the most wearing part is the heel, you may need to redo the heel for 3 times then you will wear out the sole and leather front piece at same time.
Great work Ser. .. i just try to see how can i fix some lather chair my cats had scratches and cutting by her nails .. i can do what you do i just am a good student and fast learn ..i actually work as a Graphic designer .. thanx and regards from Egypt
Bro, "off topic", any ideas as to how to re fill / repair the soles/ holes and /or too used croc soles (dangerously slippery) "?" thanks so much in advance.

The patches may or may not stand up, but your craft is amazing. You did a very good job given your challenge.
What a delight to watch a true CRAFTSMAN apply their trade so admirably … Bravo…

Adding as well a patch inner side seppe a necessity for permanent fix,isn't😉?
The three patches he did are a permanent fix, they will not tear or debond, nor will a hole form near those patches, due to the patches strengthening the crease. Trying to add a wide strip in the crease zone would make for ultra stiff, unwearable shoe.
I had no expectation whatsoever that you were going to pull that off, but you did in spades--very impressive!
You sir are a true craftsman! My late father did shoe repairs when he left the Army.
For how it was, it was very well done. This guy is an honest guy. Thanks for the vid!
I must say, watching the start of the resto I was most skeptical regarding the outcome, but the finish was spectacular!
If the customer agreed, I would suggest making it a captoe, or wingtip, and replacing the whole front toe with a new piece of leather stitched on. Although you did a great job after a few weeks the hole repairs would be noticeable, as opposed to a wingtip.
Also for which type of repair to you use Disaronno?🙂
wingtip ?
@@venom286__worldoftanks3 "Wingtip" is a decorative toe cap that comes back along the shoe. Basically put another layer on the outside.
Wingtip would be so cool. Good idea. I will make one of mine Wingtip. I've always wanted one, but I don't see any cool enough online.
It helps to cover the aftertaste of the shoe polish
for that job you had to charge at least 300-500 bucks...

I agree with you. I don't think this patchwork would last long. Besides, i m totally not impressed with the work performed. Not more than wastage of time and efforts.
It won't hold.
seeing as there was an actual hole, or holes, the patches only took care of the surface. was anything done under the holes? was there another thicker patch ? I th the holes would be sandwiched between the patch on top and inside
...and customer money as well.@@mirzawaseem2006
What are you people expecting from a Russian cobbler?
You're a true professional. Amazing work man ❤
Very satisfying to watch.A job well done.
wow! Now I have hope for my 23 year old black leather shoes, thanks for this! 🙌
Would have loved to see the customers eyes when she saw the repaired shoes. I'm sure she did't belive that it was possibe to repair them like you did. Perfect! Many greetings from Germany!
Geez..you made the holes and the cracks disappear....amazing!!
Very nice work. Dying breed of a skillful craftsman.
Can I say that you have done a great service to repairing an otherwise badly damaged shoe/shoes. Also don’t worry too much about what the critics say as You have done a cracking job. 😅😅😅
You are a magician ! Nice to see that pair of shoe saved, leather shoes can make a lifetime when well taken care ! Cheers from France
Wow!!! I wasn't sure at first, but you just performed magic 😳😲😳
Can you include a lists of that glue, coloring etc that you're using somewhere? If you use some sponsored links, that would be helpful for you as well.
Excellent repair of the 3 gaping holes.
Amazing work ! I wish I could send all of my shoes just to you to take care of them ! Great work ! ❤❤❤
This is excellent work and is the authethc way of doing it. Better than just filling the hole with rubber.
The best repair I have ever seen.
Fantastic result I have to say.
One question: Wouldn't it be viable to replace the full leather cap?
The leather on this shoe is pretty worn out on multiple parts of the cap.
Very well done!
Nice work... I was looking to reattach my dress shoes to the sole and came across your video! 😊
What amazing work! Congratulations!
Krásna remeselná práca. Radosť pozerať.👍🇸🇰
Jo, toho se v našich zemích nedočkáme.
Expertly done as usual.
Thank you for watching my video 😊
You are a true craftsman!
Beautiful job people don't take pride in their work anymore 👍🏻✨

nice work I did not expect them to look like this
Great job! What would you do for a more superficial scratch where some raw leather is now sticking out?
Nice repair of a craftsman. Thanks
Great job.
A question or 2 comes up.
. Why not also use a larger, thinner patch from the inside?
. why not use a fibre bonding agent on cuts after they are bonded flash in place (before) finishing with outside patch?

They not ditch or farm work shoe.
That was very impressive to watch, can't be a cheap repair.
Super repair! I can repair my husband's shoes !!! What kind of paint put before tapir? Thanks!😊
You did a super excellent job yes. But the work you did is better than the boot itself..
Serviço excelente Parabéns
greetings Thanks for the video, what were the first two creams and pastes you used? if you can also name the company? Thanks in advance!
What kind of glue did you use to glue on the patches? And what were the different waxes/polishes, and in what order did you put them on?
Amazing work, well done.
Solid job mate.
Love to see the same boot, when worn for a month. Hope you persuade the owner to apply boot wax in future.
Hola buenas tardes... excelente trabajo... Una pregunta cuánto cuesta una reparación así..?
Excellent job. My dear late uncle was also an shoemaker... Thanks...
😊
Amazing!!!You"re,Smart!!!Congratulations boy!!!From Rimac Lima Perú (I'm shoemaker)
más que zapatero tu debes ser homosekzual por la forma en que escribes.
how long will it last before cracking? thats a big tension point hence the initial material failure
Bravo! A real craftsman.
Wonderful work, I do wish you had listed the products you used to glue, fill, shine. What product did you use to fill the other cracks ? How long did the repair last ?
Most likely a leather filler compound. I think it’s called sapphir renuvateur or something
Angelus Leather Filler for Filling or Repairing Holes, Tears, Cracks, Scratches
I have seen holes repaired like that with only glue, but not with extra leather. Yours came out really well. Would, be interesting to see the longevity of the two techniques due to wear and tear. Amazing repair...

Hola 👋 , felicitaciones quedaron espectaculares como nuevas , gracias por compartir tus experiencias y avilidades 👍
Let the craftsman do it, stunning!
It looks pretty good but I question the strength and how long it will last? It’s thin material, not much strength.
Good job, it's like cosmetic repair for car before to sell. What do you think how many time the shoes can be used?
Great work. Wish your shop was in my town.
So question would it also work if you put the leather patches on the interior of the boot with contact cement then once it was dried filled in the holes with the leather putty till it was even with rest of the vamp then polished up ?

Вот и у меня сложилось впечатление с первых фраз, что бывшего СССР как минимум чел...
