Cheap Shoes Get UPGRADED into ARTISAN Shoes 

As an apprentice cobbler this is exactly what I plan on doing 🤣, albeit it with much more limited tools

@@Calebre_ Where are you working out of!! (I may look to have this done to some Chelsea boots with great uppers, but less-than-ideal sole work)

Thanks for your feedback! Glad you like the video! :)

@@KWSHOEREPAIR I saw you trimmed some of the top shoe fabric, wouldn't that affect the fit of the shoe?

@@richd.3270 no, customer very happy with result.

I asked the worker in my nearby shoe-repair shop how much time a similar repair would take and how much it would cost, he responded super quick : just throw them in the bin and get a new pair of shoes.. the leather on my shoes was similar even color but fully perforated and i really like them but on both the pads on side formed some cracks and stitches give up were too soft.. i miss them so much they felt so great on my feet in spring & summer because perforated leather air circulating inside not allow to sweat and were so light.. i saw kind of similar new pair from Pepe Jeans is costing more than 480 $ (reduced from 540 $).. i really wish more skilled people like this existed at least one in each town that would be really awesome for saving favorite wared shoes and the extra money for a new pair !..

Glad you liked the video & welcome to the channel! :)

Thanks for the sub!

Check with TLG Toronto

Yes it is.

@@KWSHOEREPAIR thank you! I think I can do this if I learn how to hand welt

what fabric do you recommend and what glue? I'd like to try this, I've already resoled two pairs but want to try replacing the insole @@KWSHOEREPAIR

@@jonathanlovin820 its like a tiny wall of leather or synthetic, that is sandwiched by a strip of a sturdy canvas material. the canvas gets glued/stitched to the insole. usually the gemming is purchased ready made at supply shops, but you could certainly make it yourself. the glue is a special contact cement for shoemaking. search for "renia" glue

It is Synthetic Welting Tape. It is used for attaching together in-soles to leather uppers and goodyear welt

​@@KWSHOEREPAIR Thanks! I have never heard of it before. Seems like a good technique

@@KWSHOEREPAIR I have seen cork in-soles(or midsoles) used. It has a groove carved into it and goodyear welt sewn into that groove

There are many techniques to make shoes, I guess. Not just one way. I would like to make a shoes someday, as a hobby

@@henri7879 there few ways for good construction, and it is great if you can start, so many videos you can learn from. I started my apprentice when I was 12. I do have different profesion as well, but this one keeps me very happy ( my first love , lol)
