Abused GUCCIs get some TLC 

Yeah reminds me of old RU-vid. Before google took over and sponsorships were even a thing.

But Steve really ROCKS the Hammer Time and 👍s. Love this channel!

Literally same thing happened to me yesterday. I said "I learned more in 5 minutes of watching this guy, than you will from 5000 vapid self congratulating oscar speeches". Now we're not talking and I'm watching more awesome shoe work.

Same conversation! He's addictive!

😆

Serioulsy it’s addicting

Ditto!!!

As I told that broad one time, do whatever, just don't charge me extra....

I like the way the bottom looked, I feel it added more to it. Yeah it’s gonna get worn down but it still looked amazing!

Nice work.

But do people want to for it? Most people don't! So many wearing shoes and throw them away, before they are broken or defect... This modern time! But some shoes are loved and a few people are searching for such shoemakers and the money! I hope the craft of this shoemakers will survive!

😂😂😂Yes, a lot of shoes need his attention.

Exactly This!

Well, if we go by that, god doesn't exist because we know that won't happen.

Some shoes are made in a way that makes them impossible to repair ..

Watching those shoes 'rip' apart is so satisfying.

damn i didn't know i commented already

Yes please.

@@amydouglas537 And?

@@amydouglas537 And?

he's got paying customers, why would he do something for free.

These shoes are destroyed hahaha, I think this is good enough

twmusicoustic he makes money from viewers and ads bud.

John Wayne 🤣🤣🤣🤣

As another lady, I got so inspired that now I’m an apprenticing cobbler! You’re not crazy at all.

😂😂😂😂

🤣😂🤣🤣 u forgot the thumbs up

@@Bulmer. ๙ช

CopperBeard I have the same shoes

Poverty

CopperBeard Cardboard and duck tape overlay😂 and oh yeah.... avoid ALL water puddles.... this person didn’t cross his legs over his knees.... I’m certain of it😆

Yanno Love with or without THE HOLES?😂

I kinda miss the radio in the background and the unexpected interruptions that happened on his earlier videos. I will never forget the first one I watched that was unedited and fabulous.

You find someone who does great work, you stick with them.

How'd they look new? I never saw a pic.

@@TheyForcedMyHandLE they used to have cemented on soles. With these new fancy ones stitched on, they're better than they ever were.

I totally agree with you! And made better than before! Now the sole is stitched!

🤭🤣😂

Heard about you from MsDreamcakes and I can't stop watching! These shoes look amazing‼️ If I hadn't seen you restoring them I would never think they were the same shoes!

Lol

yes, the most amazing part is how he knows where and how much to spray the leather to get it looking just right.

@@filmjolk4410 yep that is what happens when one is experience it their work/art, after doing it thousands of times this is a very easy thing for him but for newbies its an impossible thing.

xD

Watching this in bed on my own but your comment made me laugh 😂

That's as dangerous as the Kirby Allison drinking game.

Sir James W. V. Savile, OBE, I haven’t watched enough Kirby vids yet... what does he do/say a lot?

@@f308gtb1977 I haven't heard someone refer to themselves by name so much since Bob Dole.

Sir James W. V. Savile, OBE 🤣🤣

Was looking for this comment 😅😆

Sad but true. They're having to please shareholders now and demand is high. Plus most customers aren't aware of what true quality and craftsmanship looks like. Price and brand name have become proxies for genuine quality.

Gardenia in bloom - 👍Exactly. It’s a shame. 😔

Ginger Ginger - 👍Thanks. 😔 It’s sad. I’ve been doing some research....🤔I don’t like what I’m finding. I’m not acquiring any more Gucci products for a whole host of reasons. 🤨

@grafvonstauffenburg Not really. Dr Martens were bought out by a multinational conglomerate a few years ago, and redesigned the boots and opened up a factory in the Far East. Some of the originals mage in the Nottingham Factory are still traded between collectors because they are far superior in materials, construction, and comfort than the redesigned ones. You have to know quality to judge it. A lot of people today don't know quality because cheap, throw away fashion is so prevalent. A question: have you ever though why these cobbler channels don't feature women's shoes? It's because most on the market aren't worth repairing because women consumers have been trained to buy fashion over quality, and that makes the shareholders happy. We, the consumers need to change and be more savvy consumers and learn about how clothing and shoes are made and buy quality. We will have to soon anyway because the days of cheap and cheerful are on their way out, as those poor workers earning under $5 a day in the Far East ain't going to be happy forever settling for less, and the percentage of GDP paid to workers in the developed countries continue to fall over time, we won't be able to be so penny smart and pound foolish. There's no a channel where a female historical costumier taught herself to make shoes, and that hobby isn't cheap, but shoe goes through the steps of how say, a early 20th century female boot was constructed, and you would be hard pushed to find that quality today. We're the fools.

And it’s more environmentally friendly too! Win-win

@@ResistImpulse of course you can see the bottom of a shoe in many situations. Whoever wore this pair until the state they're currently in is nuts. Goes well with a filthy sweater and dirty jeans, something I wear during yard work.

I used to pound the pavement of NYC for years and the state of shoes always interested me. I can relate ... LOL! They feel great, become your go to and the last thing you want to do is give them up for any period of time. For me, it was always the leaning heal or the flapping sole ... Haha!

Finding someone to do professional refinish work could of been a deciding factor as well. I wouldn't want to send shoes off to someone and get back a horrible rework but maybe the person stumbled upon bedos videos and seen the quality and care that goes in to his work and that was enough to part with the shoes to get what looks like a brand new product and you see the pride that comes with what he put in to it.

@@aeroAdvocate many situations? I think your fascination with the bottoms of other peoples shoes makes you nuts

We wouldn’t cobblers if people didn’t do so, plus some people buy things for what they are the price is a minor factor

Craftsmanship at it's finest. Absolutely 💯.
