Never owned a pair of sandals in my life except shower shoes in the army. I will have to get some later on when I retire baby. But I bet you could get a good shine on them.
hello, would like to ask you more questions; from tools, to leather, and others, because i am in the process of establishing my own footwear brand. i believe your expert input will assist me to create a strong footwear brand in my part of the world. is there any contact or email that i can connect with you? many thanks in advance.
While watching this video it took me back to fond memories of my Grandfather's shoe in Lebanon PA , John DiNunzio. The wonderful smell of leather, dyes, the glue, ah the glue. He specialised in orthopedic builds and repairs, using a Dr.'s prescription. He could make a pair from scratch. This is a wonderful craft.
I got a couple pair of sandals from Southern Polished last year and could not be more pleased. The killer for y'all is that they may well last me the rest of my life! So well made and comfy and such. Very interesting to see how they are put together. Thanks for sharing!
I have instantly become a fan while watching the videos for first time. Wow, the workmanship , the skill !! This is just beautiful, I applaud Trent & Heath . I have two pair in my cart - I can not wait! I am in awe of the artistry.
I purchased a pair of the Flip Flops (Mens) Bull Hide / Walnut 2 weeks ago, they are breaking in quickly, and are comfortable. The only thing I am confused about is the Made in Mexico printed on the inside of the upper. I take it to mean the Vibram sole is made in Mexico, it reads: Size 12; Leather Upper; Balance Manmade; Made in Mexico. Other than that confusing bit these are great. I had a pair of leather flip flops years and years ago, I wore them for a good 6 years (many of those every day) and they wore out. I have been looking every where for a replacement and I couldnt find a pair like these with the thick sole and leather uppers, until I started watching this channel and found the Southern Polished. I hope these last as long and stay as comfortable as my old pair did!
Amazing! I've never seen (even imagined) of such a high quality sandal. I haven't checked the links yet, but I can't imagine that, given the craftsmanship and quality of materials, the sandals wouldn't sell for a premium. Y'all are really at the top of your game. If it wasn't for shipping costs, I would have a few pairs of shoes that really need professionals like you. Big thumbs up!
These look awesome the fact that they can be recrafted is a plus for being zero waste, I hate buying flip flops every year, they just never last as long and I stopped buying them, I'll definitely have to look into them Saw some other comments and I'd love a slide or summer houseshoes option I think you'd do some beautiful designs!
I ordered a pair of American Bison sandals a couple of days ago. I can't wait to get them! This made me even more excited. And Made in the USA! I've never worn sandals that weren't ten bucks from Walmart before.
I’m sorry but the men’s sandals are made in Mexico. They are designed by us and used to be made by us, but could not find the labor to keep up with the demand. They are made EXACTLY the way we designed them and we cut some apart to ensure QC.
Dang... these are among the best if not the best sandals made. Wonderful, highest quality materials, great design and quality construction! Love that the straps are tacked, the single biggest complaint I have with sandals is the straps pulling out.
Wow, very beautiful guys. I make leather bracelets but nothing close to the amazing stuff you are doing! Love the 1st pair of women's flip flops, gorgeous!😍
Just bought myself my first pair of southern polished all the way from quebec, Canada and can't wait to get them! I love the craft that are put behind and value that a lot. The only thing is that shipping cost the same as the sandale itself si if you guys could offer more affordable options that be great!
Just ordered a pair tonight! Cant wait to get them. I'll be glad when y'all are accepting resoles again, I've got a few pairs of cowboy boots I need to send to y'all!
Cutting on glass you have skills so easy to over cut. At least for me lol I need a backing that slows my blade down. Amazing sandels J R soles really nice job as usual. Thanks for sharing 👍
I gotta say, these pairs are amongst the best quality, durable sandals that money can buy. & they're *cheap* ! I would put them against any luxury brand, and these would come on top by far. No corners cut (except in the clicking station). I will get a couple pairs soon, and hopefully for my future lady haha
Wow! As much as I enjoy the repair videos, witnessing the craftmanship and multiple steps involved is something to behold. Do these run true to size? May have to snag a pair for my Dad. Also, other than the very pleasant soundtrack in the background, the ASMR qualities of the handiwork is great! Wonderful job, gentlemen, thanks! 🤙
These sandals are gorgeous! I have a question/request, would you guys be willing to make sandals that are zero-drop with truly no heel? Or take custom orders for a premium price? I see you have the option of "flat" and "stacked" heels, but I'm into the barefoot feel and I'd love to order a pair that's just stitched leather on the outsole. I also have very low volume thin feet that tend to swim in normally made shoes. I'd love to still give you guys my business, as I've been watching for years and the craftsmanship is beautiful. Thanks for reading!
my gf's birthday is a couple weeks. i was waiting for you guys to put sandals back on website since January. figured it wouldn't happen in time, so I ordered her something else last week. Damn.
I remember your fist sandal video and this one was just as entertaining to watch. I'm entered in the contest and may the best men and women win. BTW I can just about imagine how great that leather smelled when you unwrapped it. Have a great weekend. : )
Yes sir high quality leather high quality work high quality collab. Always love your work guys beautiful sandals i will love to see your go global with it and have u ever tried crepe sole for sandals i think they will make great comfortable and beautiful sandals with dark or tan leather. I will appreciate a lot to see u make a pair someday.
First off, great design and always love to see artists & craftsmen at work. How much time does a single pair of sandals take to create? Seems like they are labor intensive.
Nice video as always. Several steps to making the sandals, that stitching is really neat. Good job guys. I was excited to take part in the giveaway but it’s US only 😢.
I have concerns about the tack being in the bottom. I understand it is a clinch nail. I’m wondering if you could tack the straps down before the outsole is stitched. This would put the tack between the layers.
Will be checking out the sandal site. Really hoping that your sizing will include what my wife needs. Would like very much to buy her a pair of your sandals
If I had any opportunity to wear them, I’d pick up a pair. Problem is that when it’s warm out and I’m not at work I’m either biking or hiking. That said, they’re beautiful sandals.
Just looked at the ladies sandals on your website and I'm so disappointed that most of the stacked heel versions of the classic colors like tan in size 9 are sold out! It's not even summer yet!!! Will you be restocking those sizes and styles again?
Is it possible to get the women's sandals with full rubber soles? My grandpa made me a pair similar to the ones you guys make but with full rubber soles, I wore them all summer long and they lasted me 12 years. In fact I actually wore them hiking because they had better grip than any of my other shoes. But the straps broke and it's time to retire them, but now I need some new ones...
Watching these videos have made me into 2 things, 1. very into high quality dress shoes and 2. Very picky about the shoes I choose. I’m always a sucker for versace but I was looking into some corneliani shoes (somewhat new brand) and it’s seems like they make some very nice quality shoes. I looked at a lot of their good year welted as well as Blake stitched. I am am curious if anyone has resoled these or seen them and recommends them or maybe recommends a different direction?

Thank y’all for watching! We’ve put a lot of work into growing our Southern Polished brand, and we hope you’ll check it out. Enjoy the video.
I cant find where to enter the giveaway

Live in Arizona so it’s sandal season all year round, and my pair of SP sandals had been the only foot ware I’ve been wearing for past three months 😆
Awesome and so glad you’re enjoying them!

Really great to see the whole sandal-making process. Great work gentlemen!
Thank you!
I agree brother
I like the Men's style, you should do them in smaller sizes for women.
Agreed
I'm pretty sure they can do custom orders as well.
It's so good to watch a video where the craftsmanship literally speaks for itself. Beautiful work gentlemen.
Thank you very much!
Love my southern polished sandals. First pair of sandals I haven't blown out within a couple of months. Going on year 2 now👍🏻👍🏻
That’s awesome! Glad to hear you’re enjoying them. 👍
Make a men's "slide" style sandal please. I'd love to order a pair of Southern Polished sandals, but can't stand the bit between the toes.
same here love sandalls but the leather strap between the toes i dont like
Yeah, that doohickie between the toes is weird feeling.
Yes, please! If possible!
I was thinking the same thing!
Those are called house slippers
Those were some beautiful leathers. I could almost smell them when you unrolled them! The sandals turned out great!
Thank you!
I got a couple pair of sandals from Southern Polished last year and could not be more pleased. The killer for y'all is that they may well last me the rest of my life! So well made and comfy and such. Very interesting to see how they are put together. Thanks for sharing!

You can just tell that these are made with love and will last for a really long time. Top notch work guys!
Thank you so much!
i have a pair of the mens sandals. they are very nice and comfortable. so nice i havent worth them outdoors yet. they are amazing for wearing indoors
Awesome. Glad you enjoy them!
Glad you got the women's stuff posted again. Already ordered a pair of Montgomery's for my wife for Mother's Day.
Thank you so much! Hope she enjoys them.
My received her pair today... She loves them! Thanks Trenton and Heath!
These are beautiful! Total summer vibes! ☀️
P.S: US viewers are winning! Good luck to everyone. The rest of us are low-key envious ☺
Thank you! ☀️
I live in Scotland. Our "sandal season" is a couple of days in May, four days in July and maybe a weekend in September.
Those are absolutely stunning sandals! Truly a work of a craftsman!
Thank you!
@@squarewrangler The sandals for the giveaway are made by us. Unfortunately, we don't have the manpower to fulfill the demand for the rest.
Oh my!
I am really proud to know about your colaboration with guanajuatenses! I love Leon, Guanajuato and the craftmanship they have.
¡Viva México!
I have instantly become a fan while watching the videos for first time. Wow, the workmanship , the skill !! This is just beautiful, I applaud Trent & Heath . I have two pair in my cart - I can not wait! I am in awe of the artistry.

Thank you very much! I think you may be surprised. southernpolished.com
Excellent craftsmanship.
Omg I did it. I ordered it one but two pair of your sandals. I could choose just one style so yeah. Thanks!!
I'd like to see you guys get real fancy with a thin layer of cork in there. Keep up the great work guys!
We use poron, which is MUCH softer, instead.
These look awesome the fact that they can be recrafted is a plus for being zero waste, I hate buying flip flops every year, they just never last as long and I stopped buying them, I'll definitely have to look into them
Saw some other comments and I'd love a slide or summer houseshoes option I think you'd do some beautiful designs!

I love the qualities of your jobs . congratulations.
They are beutiful sandles. Long lasting lether sandles. Love them!
Thank you!

Dang... these are among the best if not the best sandals made. Wonderful, highest quality materials, great design and quality construction! Love that the straps are tacked, the single biggest complaint I have with sandals is the straps pulling out.
Awesome. Thank you! The straps shouldn’t pull out on them. If they did, we could have exchanged them for you. Definitely shouldn’t do that.
I’ve been binge watching all your videos. Don’t know why but it’s just so relaxing!
Thank you!
I own a pair of the Bull Hide - Honey sandals and I have to say they are my favorite sandals of all time!
We love hearing that! We appreciate you buying a pair and are glad to hear you’re enjoying them.
I love my sandals, I just wish there was an option to get them wider. If y’all ever wanna do a wider sandal, I’m ya gal to buy them 🙌🏼
Thanks! Definitely something we may consider.
I ordered a pair of flops, dont care they are made in Mexico they look awesome. Cant wait to get them.
I bought a pair of your sandals bout a month ago, still breaking them in, but absolutely LOVE them so far! definitely a smart purchase!
Awesome!
Awesome full grain leather sandals; great to see the whole process and the high quality materials used.
Thank you!
Those look amazing! Always love seeing you guys demonstrating your craft.
Thank you!
Beautiful. Loved watching the process.
Thank you!
Just ordered a pair. You guys are great
After seeing you make some of these I am strongly considering a pair for myself and wife.
We’re happy to help if you have any questions.
Wow, very beautiful guys. I make leather bracelets but nothing close to the amazing stuff you are doing! Love the 1st pair of women's flip flops, gorgeous!😍
So exquisitely crafted. Thanks for sharing, gentlemen!
Thank you so much!

Cutting on glass you have skills so easy to over cut. At least for me lol I need a backing that slows my blade down. Amazing sandels J R soles really nice job as usual. Thanks for sharing 👍

I'm pretty sure I'm using the exact same wallet that you showed Trenton. It is a nice piece. Nice leather. Fine looking sandals.
Thank you!

Excellent work gentleman, amazing work. Going to be ordering a pair for myself and the wife.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it.
I assume sole dies come in different sizes also that leather ripper is awesome
At this time in my life I can't afford a pair of your sandals, but they sure are pretty! I love watching you both craft shoes, boots, etc.
Thank you for watching our videos!
wow. this is awesome!!! i really love it
Another Great creation. Loved the Collabo. Must get a pair for me and the Mrs
Thank you!
Wow! As much as I enjoy the repair videos, witnessing the craftmanship and multiple steps involved is something to behold.
Do these run true to size? May have to snag a pair for my Dad.
Also, other than the very pleasant soundtrack in the background, the ASMR qualities of the handiwork is great! Wonderful job, gentlemen, thanks! 🤙
Thank you very much! Yes, they are true to size. Same as a dress shoe and a D width of guys and B width for gals.
@@TrentonHeath Thanks! 🤙
So smart having that turning point where only ASMR followed! Will be adding it to my ASMR favorites list. Great job gents!
We appreciate it!
Beautiful sandals. Good luck to the individuals who will win these sandals. Gentlemen have a great weekend. Thanks
Thank you so much!

Good luck!
YALL DO EXCELLENT WORK LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND THE SANDALS LOOK GREAT JUST LIKE YOUR SHOE REPAIRS 👞🥾👞👠
Thank you!
Love the look of the sandal but wish it came in a size 14
Great to watch the process, thanks for sharing.
Man I’ve been wanting a pair of your sandals for a year now. Maybe I’ll finally order myself some. 🤔
Awesome!
Done, done and done! I wish myself and everyone else the best luck! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Thank you sir! Good luck. 👍
Huh. Oddly enough I just got the notification for this video while wearing the sandals I got from you guys.
Timing is everything, huh? 😉
I remember your fist sandal video and this one was just as entertaining to watch. I'm entered in the contest and may the best men and women win. BTW I can just about imagine how great that leather smelled when you unwrapped it. Have a great weekend. : )
Thank you! Yes, we love the smell of the leather.
Nothing better than a Trenton and Heath video
Thank you sir! We really appreciate you watching.
I love the sexy twist of the women’s, but the men’s are awesome! I’ll be looking for a pair for my wife and I here in Florida soon. Great quality!
Yes sir high quality leather high quality work high quality collab. Always love your work guys beautiful sandals i will love to see your go global with it and have u ever tried crepe sole for sandals i think they will make great comfortable and beautiful sandals with dark or tan leather.

Good work I learned a lots keep it up well dones.
Thank you
First off, great design and always love to see artists & craftsmen at work. How much time does a single pair of sandals take to create? Seems like they are labor intensive.
Well, our men’s are made in a factory, and our women’s are made here with quite a few folks making them. It’s a team effort.
I love to have one of these, looks great ❤️
Nice video as always. Several steps to making the sandals, that stitching is really neat. Good job guys.
I was excited to take part in the giveaway but it’s US only 😢.
Thank you so much, Hauwa! So sorry, we had a problem last year going to Geeece.
When are men's sandals going to be back in stock? I'd love to give some as gifts!
I'm not huge on sandals, but these are great!
I live in Australia, so it looks like the give-away is out of bounds ☹ but I'll check out ur site for sure. Love ur vids guys! 👍🇦🇺
I have concerns about the tack being in the bottom. I understand it is a clinch nail. I’m wondering if you could tack the straps down before the outsole is stitched. This would put the tack between the layers.
Will be checking out the sandal site. Really hoping that your sizing will include what my wife needs. Would like very much to buy her a pair of your sandals
All of our sandals are B Width and even sizes. If one wears a half size go up to next even size.
They're so Beautiful!!!
Thank you!
I'm going buy some of your sandals regardless they are in made Mexico or in the USA.. I'm. Happy to buy products from the Americas
Another great video, gents! I’m in for the giveaway, so hopefully I’ll be sporting some SP sandals soon!
Thank you! Good luck. 👍
The sandals look stunning. It will be nice to get a pair for my wife.
Thank you! Let us know if we can help.
Thank you!
If I had any opportunity to wear them, I’d pick up a pair. Problem is that when it’s warm out and I’m not at work I’m either biking or hiking. That said, they’re beautiful sandals.
Thank you
Nice! I am ordering a pair on Friday.
Thank you!
Great video as always. I have a question about something different. Can you use saddle soap on all white leather shoes?
Just looked at the ladies sandals on your website and I'm so disappointed that most of the stacked heel versions of the classic colors like tan in size 9 are sold out! It's not even summer yet!!! Will you be restocking those sizes and styles again?
What a pity that your giveaway is not worldwide....I follow you with pleasure from Switzerland 🇨🇭😊
So sorry, last year it was but had some problems in Greece which took a toll on our overseas offer.
These look great. What shoe do you all wear during summer or to work out?
I never wear sandals but I am excited to receive my pair I just ordered American bison dark brown
Awesome, we believe you will like them!
sandals ain't my thing. But still, always loved seeing you guys work! hope your business will prosper and keep expanding 😁
Thank you!
Beautiful leather and can only assume a pair of handmade sandals would cost the earth.
Southernpolished.com and remember, unlike most sandals, these will not only last longer, but can be recrafted.
Very Nice! I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you!
Have you guys worked on Paul Evans shoes? If so how is their build quality?
I'm in Italy, ripperoni, no opportunity for nice sandals for me 😂, jokes aside, they look very very nice!
Thanks.
Is it possible to get the women's sandals with full rubber soles? My grandpa made me a pair similar to the ones you guys make but with full rubber soles, I wore them all summer long and they lasted me 12 years. In fact I actually wore them hiking because they had better grip than any of my other shoes. But the straps broke and it's time to retire them, but now I need some new ones...

Excellent
Love your work guys. What is the the name of the sewing machine used to make the stitches?
Really enjoyed watching you guys making the sandals. High quality products, can we get them in the UK?
Respect 😊
Thank you and absolutely. We sell and ship them all over the world.
