Ferragamo Loafers Restoration | Total Transformation from Trash to WOW! 

From trash to cash, they look great

Hey guys, this pair of shoes really came out much better that they were. The sanding was necessary for shoes to get another chance in life. Excellent work, you guys are second to none. Thank you for sharing.

Decades long leather workers here. Free hint. To get the richest looking black - dye your leather brown first and then dye black. Try it! Love your videos.

Wow! Step by step, one of your best videos documenting the restoration process start to finish. Great job both cinematic story telling and cobbling wise. Thanks! And Happy Memorial Day to all! 🤙

Beautiful job, I just restored my 30 pound weights. They said " throw them away". I thought how can I throw these away, when they have helped me grow so much. I decided to restore them and now theyre better than when I got them over 10 years ago. It's not a shoe/boot but I related to restoring something that meant more to me than money.

While I don't care for the shoes themselves, the transformation was very impressive. Another excellent job by a shoe master. Happy Memorial day.

2nd A T&H video is a great compliment with my Saturday coffee.

Nice job! Good rescue on the leather. The blue thread looks great. I was wondering if anything was done on the insole.

Great job as always. They had a lot of cracks. Really love the blue stitching. Have a great weekend.

I don’t see the point of fixing shoes with ruined leather. I personally couldn’t get over seeing the cracks. Y’all are good at what you do, but the leather still looks awful.

"These shoes have seen better days..." And, most likely, worse nights.

I can't wait for one of my pairs of Red Wings to wear out so I can have these gents resole them.

Is the Blake welt (8:30) more for aesthetics? I don't see its functionality being glued on without stitching to hold the sole.

Big thumbs up on this pair of survivors, nice transformation.

First

Using the hydration products was one of the BEST lessons you guys taught me. I always cleaned and polished my shoes, but really was unaware of the hydration part. I can learn, so why not. Good video. That man will wear those shoes for a good while longer now.

Intensive and well thought out reworking of old shoes Was the Blake Welt sewn onto the body of shoe? I replayed and couldn't tell Choice of soles and thread 👍

Is there a way to recreate the surface where they have been sanded as I have never found a way that looks really good

potter&sons... THE BEST

Amazing transformation! I didn't think there was much that could be done for those shoes, but you pulled it off with ease. Congrats on another fine pair of restored footwear.

Love your vids a bit to long for my taste compare to others shoes restore channels , now, why don’t you ever get rid of the creases , as cheap restore shoe enthusiast lol , thanks to you and other channels , ill find it very easy to do and simple saphire products are way to expensive in Mexico i do angelus brand and collonil

Love y'all's videos. Still trying to understand all the terminology. Any chance y'all could do a video strictly explaining the difference in all the types of soles and heels. Like what is a Goodyear welt exactly vs a Blake Welt? etc.

Another great job and a great video - thanks! If it's not too personal, how come that two brothers have such different accents? Particularly on the vowel sounds.

Hey, what product would y'all recommend using to condition Lucchese full-quill ostrich boots?

I'm sorry, but I can't help it! Blake stitching makes me think of wet socks!! Nice job, though!

While I enjoyed the work, I couldn't really see what you were doing much of the time as the shoes are dark up against the dark apron. Oh well....

Hey Trenton! Am not a loafer guy, but man, I enjoy watching you guys working! Where's Heath?

Great Job, love the restorations. Hey you know some people prefer that aged vintage look. Also as a former Army guy, I have seen how leather after some extra love, those remaining cracks with shrink some more as long as conditioner is added. But like you said you can only go so far. Thanks for the great content.

“Gahs when you’re having fun with your shoes…when you want a little extra pep in your step…don’t be afraid to ask the cobbler to throw on some colored thread.”

Those were pretty rough, sentimental value is about the only value that was left in those puppies. Condition, condition, condition guys. LOL Those soles were the ticket for these, hopefully the uppers will hold together as long as the soles do.

Although the transformation was very impressive, i don't know if it was worth it. You can see the uppers are still in a bad condition despite all the amount of work you put in.

These loafers have such shoddy construction and workmanship. Great job improving them

Those should have been thrown out. They can't work miracles guys.

can you guys change the shape of the shoe. i.e. go from that square toe to a narrower square toe? Curios. Maybe do a video like that?

Great work! Love to see the transformation. I have a pair of Ariat ostrich boots that are black can they be color stripped and re dyed brown?

Anyone else weirded out by bare-man-leg under a cobbler apron?! T skipped leg day!

anyone else get ASMR vibes? gday from Australia

The worst shoes I've seen you restore. Great job, Trent! One question. Did you replace the insole? The originals looked pretty ratty when you pulled those nails.

Where on earth did you guys find all of this equipment? I have no idea where to even start.

Question Normally you had sow the welts in this case you didn't do that is there a particular reason why

Guardate che in Italia non sono chic questo tipo di scarpe non vanno di moda....a parte che i mocassini si usano poco...ma quelli fighi sono i church's

Just a question, I never saw you guys using leather fillers. Is there a reason for that?

Thanks for demonstrating that Blake welt!!!

In the shop I used to work at we would never tackle a job like that when the uppers looked that bad ..

Great Job guys!!! I would've thrown those out : )

Am I the only one that wished they didn’t dye the heel block or midsole leather??

Do you need heal blocks what if I wanted a more zero drop?

Welcome 🙏 back thought you guys fell asleep on me

Was it initially Goodyear welted then Blake stitched?

WOW total restoration great job as always. Really enjoy when you add some color

What kind of glue do you usually use while restoring the shoes?

Thought they where ready for the trash cart How wrong I was 👍👍👍

I thought you are going to show us tge finishing product at the end of the video?

Restoration magic, a pair of old favorites brought back to life.

No cork. I almost downvoted this video. 🤣

You can only do so much to that ugly square toe look. yikes.

Good video but a skip would have been best place

You guys didn’t lose my Vasque boots did ya?

What do you guys think about square toed shoes?

Counting days for the next video.

Great video

Wondering,how much to do this job?

Trenton & Heath, remover of Souls

What are “hill blocks”?

I hope that is a very tough glue you use for the souls

Nice work, how much did it cost?

Hello Trenton, Greetings from India. Where is Heath? I have been regular viewer of your weekly videos and I have got few queries. I am not a cobbler by profession so pardon me if my question seems to be dumb. 1. Why did not you use cork filling in this pair of shoes. 2. Don't they use shank in loafers.

Blake stitched shoes with stitches going all the way to the bottom layer for shoes that will be worn in rainy weather? Cannot imagine, what can possibly go wrong..

“Well loved”? Not even “loving neglect” is appropriate for these poor guys. Since this is a fashion brand the construction is usually suspect anyway. “Your mission, Trent should you decide to accept is to resurrect this DOA pair” And that you did. I’m amazed at the outcome. I’m sure the owner is walking away happy. I just wonder if he recognizes what a **** he was in caring for these shoes. I know you have to be diplomatic with your customers, but this one must of been particularly trying. Well done, Trent!

Wow back to great shoes. Ty

Was the shoe worth fixing?

I wish I had your patience.

Great work bringing back a pair of dilapidated shoes. They are looking really good. As for the particular style.... I'll make my comments off air.

Have to see in order to believe it!!!

Awesome! One of your best!!

Blue thread looks so good one these!

So enjoyable to watch, great job!

No doubt their work is of the highest caliber. That kind of ability and care doesn't usually come cheap.Recently a local guy quoted me a price for a cowboy boot resole that came very close to the price of a new pair. Six months earlier another guy quoted me half of the second guy's quote. . He must have regretted his estimate because after six months he had not even started the work. After being promised and disappointed and two more wasted trips across town I reclaimed my unrepaired boots( which I believe is just what he wanted me to do) . Too bad I don't live near Tennessee

Very satisfying! Had my doubts when I saw them in the beginning, but Wow!!

Dang!!! That was a transformation, what more could you ask for, huh!?! Have a great Memorial Wkend and Day -- not a better time to simply "appreciate"!!!! Be Safe

Hi I sent a direct message to your Instagram it was not answered nor my emails are not replied to. I was wondering is it because of your work load ?

What do you think about steam/heat shrinking the leather? I have done this for extremely high-milage car's seats with the great efforts. Dunno about longevity cause car was for sale but seats looked amazing.

Hey guys, with all of the knives you use, sharp nails and pulling on something then it unexpectedly releases, how many times a week do you draw blood?

Excellent work amazing result as always! The point is that these shoes are no longer Ferragamo's they are Trenton & Heath's....

Hey guys, awesome work as always. This may be a broken record question but I have been itching to get a pair of mens sandals, any idea when they’ll be available?

Why don't you all ever go in depth on reconditioning and rebuilding insoles of the shoes you repair? I'd be interested in seeing this part of the process as well.

BEAUTIFUL!!! Another amazing restoration!

As a boot-black, I am very impressed by the way you reconditioned the cracked leather.

Such precision!! Wonderful to watch ❣️✨❣️

"There is only so much I can do". Well, it turns out that that is a LOT! Skillful hands there. 👍

Good morning Trent. I have to say I never would have thought those loafers would have turned out as well as they did. However I should have known better as you guys have the Midas touch when it comes to making shoes and boots look better and repaired with better materials than how they came from the factory. Have a great Memorial Day weekend.🙂🇺🇸 BTW what brand of T-shirt were you wearing . Really showcased the guns.💪

Nice dress! Lol!

The final results blew my mind! Great job! Thank you for such a great upload!

Great video!! Thank you for all the great info. What grit do you use to sand the leather upper?

These shoes could have walked 200 years more before the old soles would have fallen down on their own. Great job as always

Amazing job

to much work thooo

Trent has legs

13:11 "shit..." 😂

Another great shoe makeover. It's amazing what some new parts can do to pair of worn out shoes r boots..
