This looks awesome. My only criticism is you could have used masking tape when doing the black painting to achieve a really clean line around the front, since thats a bit messy.
Meh…I’d give the job a 6/10 tops. The rubber sole protector and top lift are different designs. I would have replaced the sole and heat stamped a new gucci logo before applying the rubber. The paint is super thick and is caked over the thread. The edge dressing could use some work and the brass fittings could use some polishing. Stuffing the shoe and then ironing over a wet cloth would have reduced the appearance of all those wrinkles also.
Yeah i have to agree it seems really...unfinished. Like if i were to shell out money to have my shoes restored i would have expected a bigger transformation tbh
@@Jsharp102 I was trying to be nice. I didn’t want to be too harsh. But you’re right. If these were given to me, I’d try to flip them for some type of profit.
@@SergioPena20 i understand being nice, but so many people are complimentary to him,he must think this is actually a good job . meaning he will keep pushing out crappy work. Imo.
@@Jsharp102 yeah I agree. I wasn’t going to post anything when I first saw the video. Then I started reading all the comments where people kept praising a “perfect” or “beautiful” job. That’s when I had to post something.
Very well done. I will say however, the edges could do with a touch more neatening up and perhaps try and get some of those creases out by stuffing the shoe. Otherwise, look at how brilliant white it has turned out! The original looks positively yellow in comparison! I hope you see what I've put as constructive rather than degrading - you've done a cracking job here!
I don't understand why they use rubber soles instead of leather?? Rubber may be harder wearing but it's not authentic with the original shoes. I though they were restoring these shoes not making there own version of them...
I enjoyed watching. But.. just my opinion: something about that white paint doesn't look good. Also, it's an uneven line where the black sole paint meets the white paint, mostly at the toe.
Amazing, I thought no hope for that expensive slipper. But I was curious of the outcome and oh my perfect. Great work, and yes very calming to watch you do magic from worn torn to new again.
I ain’t gonna lie…I was like no way he finna fix these. These shoes are for the trash! But then…just WOW!!! Amazing work!!! Now if only people could fix their lives like these shoes lol.
I do not know man but the restoration looks terrible to be called as professional for the following reasons: A. No crease removal B. No paint matching C. Paint result was below par
Agreed on all counts! Plus, if you're doing a *restoration,* you do *not* replace leather with rubber!! Yes, the paint job was lousy!! As for pricing, there are some things you don't know until you get inside the piece. A professional will tell you that ahead of time. This wasn't a restoration, it was a repair job, and not a very good one. Back to Bedo's!!✨
Could have at least steamed the shoes to take out the wrinkles or apply a hot towel or some thing looks like you just painted over the shoes very poor job in my opinion
The white dye you got all over the edge of the black sole would have gotten negative marks from me. It's like getting OVERSPRAY on parts of the car that weren't supposed to be painted. Oh well.
@@reneshay889 well he should be. Even if the advice was a bit more harsh that it could have been, it is still a good remark. He thanked for the advice and he will probably be thinking of it in the future because it is good for the business. Not all negative comments are bad ones. Some are actually helpful.
Sole edges finished on a heel trimmer!!!! Heel block not finished at all, sole edges painted, should have been waxed and fitting rubber soles is sacrilege. Apart from that they look O.K.
I had to watch to see how you were gonna fix the worn away leather! White leather has to probably be the most unforgiving to re-do! You did it effortlessly!
White leather doesn’t compare to black patent leather in the slightest. A single mistake and patent leather is ruined. You end up having to re-wrap the whole shoe.
Wow! Simply unbelievable. I clean my sneakers by hand to get the best life of them. But I did not know that I could restore then back to life! I now value my shoes and will never have to buy shoes again. Especially my boots and stilettos that have been discontinued. Thank you!
I don’t REALLY see the point - after all, is it so wrong to admit these shoes have served their purpose and move on? Nothing lasts forever - not even Gucci! But I do love to see a skilled person at work, and this is a very good repair/restoration.
This is only for video, maybe the author bought specifically such a pair from website of pre-owned brands with a very cheap price. Because recovering with a such good specialist will cost literally like new 😄 but exists vintage models, that simply not possible to buy anymore, as we know that brands started to make not elegant stuff for the last years. So if some very nice piece, than it will be good to recover if it worth.
I can't believe how the comments section is full of people telling a professional how to do their job, jeez. Good work, I thought that they were ready for the bin but you really fixed them up 👍
Man. My god, just change the sole and heel block…Please! I’m literally cringing….😂 Open up the horse bit and remove it then close it back up after polishing…ijs
A little messy around the painted edges. Difficult i know, especially with white on black, but there must be a proven method to ensure crisper, cleaner lines...........a little way off a professional restoration, but those slippers are ensured a few more years of life now.
I'm glad they weren't my shoes. Cannot believe you stuck a rubber sole on them. Surely the "professional " repair/restore would have been to replace the sole with a new quality leather sole. 😒
You do beautiful work/beautiful repair jobs but the shoe itself is such an ugly duckling that no matter what you do to it it’s still an ugly shoe. Sorry it’s just my opinion.
Fabulous repair, shoes for another time. In Mexico there goos shops repair, a lot of people won't spend on new shoes all the time, they even vulcanize tennis shoes, the practice make them experts. In USA, is expensive to repair good shoes..
I feel the job could have been a 10/10 if tape was used to prevent painting the rubber topy with white paint. Also, using a hammer or other tool just to seal off the leather insole(?) which looked like it was lifting off slightly..
Super quality work.. ❤️ 🇯🇲....... uf you have one that the white is faded and the color rubs off until you seeing luke the gry leather. Whats ur solution?
You make everything with so much care, so much affection, thank you so much for providing this satisfaction for your viewers. Recycle and reuse! These shoes returns to being so pretty as they left the factory!
not bad, sir. it seems like you're doing it kinda backwards, though. IMHO, wouldn't you get a cleaner/sharper line between the upper and the sole, if you completed the restoration and painting of the upper and then took your time cutting a more exact piece for the sole, that required no sanding? your line, between the two, is rather ragged looking. I do like how you only do one shoe at a time. some of the other channels do both, simultaneously and it makes for a rather long/boring video with nothing to compare the end product to, except memory.
People these days restore self dirt fake muddy shoes for the sake of youtube which only need washing, but here you are working on another level, brought back to life a truly dead piece, the leather was seriously worn but salute to your skill and patience, much appreciated.
I saw another video where they put those wood shoe shapers inside the shoe, put a damp towel on top of the creases and then go over the towel with a clothes iron little by little
Я правильно понимаю, гвозди в пятке которые должны протыкать мягкую резину и препятствовать скольжению были просто спилены и эта особенность обуви была просто уничтожена?
Да, как и кожаная подошва Просто всё неровно замазано краской, заклеено резиной.. мб это одна из первых работ? Но звуки приятные, тамбнейл заманчивый 🤷🏻 Желаю автору развития техники и хороший реставраций)
YES! My thoughts, exactly! Where the edge of the body of the slipper joins the sole is not painted as neatly as it should have been, and that bothered me... if I were paying for the restoration of these, I would not have found that to be acceptable.
