It’s unfortunate that we had to tear down a brand new pair of shell cordovan boots. But with the toe issues I didn’t see another option.

I know the customer wanted something different and that's great. I also understand that Steve talked to the retailer and came to an arrangement. Steve did an amazing job, way better than the original! That said, Alden should not be getting away with this shoddy quality control!!!

@Twinkelv 2 года назад

One of the things I miss very much about living in Falls Church, VA is having Betos Leather Works repair my shoes. Steve is awesome at his craft and even more so he’s an interesting and nice person who taught me a lot about how to keep my shoes lasting. You don’t find places like this in the burbs. Am glad he has his own RU-vid channel. Kudos Steve!

@trippinmyrlinn 2 года назад

It's unbelievable that Alden has the nerve to put out an $800+ boot in that condition. A paper heel too! People need to start returning shoes that have QC issues like this. If people accept mediocre quality they will continue to get it. Steve, beautiful work as always.

Hi Steve, crazy how even a brand new pair of boots look better after being in your hands! Looking very dapper by the way!😁was just thinking....it must be time for a bag video! 😁 much love and respect to you and yours from the UK 😁👍

I just love the pride you take in your trade, A true artist at work. This is so relaxing watching you create your magic.

@dianeluke1746 2 года назад

I loved the closeup shots of you sewing the welt. I never realized it but the jerk needle looks like a very pointy small crochet hook. I could have spent 30 minutes watching you sew the entire welt. It fascinates me. I would also love to learn more about how you do the stamping on the sole. Oh, and NO WAY you stop Hammer Time! 😊 It’s a Bedo’s tradition! (Great slo-mo shot) You love to joke with us and I love your sense of humor. You are a true artist, and a craftsman with excellent ethics. As always a beautiful end result. ❤️👍

@jimmer1047 2 года назад

Never am I bored! Lol. No matter if we seen it many times.......show us again..and again....I love watching you put the welts on! I love the machinery! I love it when the soles get sewn on! Lol Every step of the process! It's therapeutic.

@teddytots3148 2 года назад

Steve, I get such a strong sense of deja vu when I watch you, you share so many skills and techniques with my farrier and the way he used to shoe my horse. The way you hold the shoe but keep your fingers out of the way as you tap in the nails, just as a farrier cups the hoof as he nails on the shoe. And fitting the French Tips, the way you offer them up to the shoe and check for fit on the outside edge with your thumb, it’s uncannily similar to the way a farrier assesses the fit of a shoe on the hoof. Right down to the way you unconsciously sweep a thumb across to check for smoothness after completing the nails. Really interesting! Love your work!

@Ramvilles316 2 года назад

I think we love hammer time because it just a catchy phrase (kinda of like "Let's continue"). It also goes into the work you put into everything you do: calling the manufacturer and talking about what needs to be done for the customer; not everyone does this. #nicerepair #hammertime

@edd2771 2 года назад

I remember the day hammer time was introduced. Not as big a fan of it as “let’s continue”, but my new favorite by far is “HEY MAN….”

We have been watching your videos for a long time and wish to say how impressed we are with your work. We especially like your taking the time during each project to explain what your doing to each shoe/boot/bag and why you do it. Clearly you take pride in doing what you do. Very nice job on re-crafting these boots!

I love the color of the boots. Having high quality leather in a boot is useless if the construction is not proper and cheap products are used. The boots really look sharp with your remake. As always, another fantastic job.

I have a suggestion for you Steve as I'm a big fan of you ,that you can make videos reviewing your collection of shoes, certain ways and tips to maintain the shoes and taking care of them. Also you may talk about the industry in general, companies... I think this would elevate the game for the channel to be bigger.

Steve, I love the discretion you show towards the retailer in this situation. You didn’t spell out the agreement, gave no indication of who they were, nor where. You pulled no punches about Alden quality control, while not going over the top. When you have your occasional rants, you don’t do it at the expense of others. That’s one of the many reasons I still watch your channel, and have done for years. Let’s Continue! 🤠👍

Sad that $800 boots get shipped with that type of QC issue. Perhaps Alden Boots can hire you as a QC consultant?

Those few who send you mean nature'd comments or dislikes, are the types who God Himself could appear to , and they would probably complain that he had poor timing , or some such nonsense. I ignore such people , because on You tube , as in Life I am willing to bet Most people ignore them on a regular basis . But Myself , and apparently 140 thousands others think you are Entertaining , educational , and the absolute definition of a competent artists at what you do . Keep on doing it . It is wonderful!
