I’ve always rotated shoes to keep them wearable and it really works, along with cream- but we all need a great cobbler like yourself as time goes by for restoration ❣️thanks Dan, very funny ending❗️
I like you first, then I watch you! But I like watching you work and what a cool workshop you have. I am also your colleague who works in Moldova. Thanks for the video!!!
Your video was interesting and helpful, it also lifted my day. Things are so serious these days, we shouldn't forget that life can be fun too. Thanks for sharing.
I just got a pair of boots as a gift and thought I should learn how to take care of them. Came across your page and this is by far the best shoe care content!
I just wanna say I watched your videos because youtube recommending them and now I own a pair of fancy leather boots so of course I will buy your products to maintain my boots
Writing from California. Great video and extremely handy considering I, like most folks, work hard for our money and want our shoes to just last....forever.
Holy smokes, I paused to grab the mail when you were beginning to dig your hole and in the interim I made up dialogue and rationale, and I ended up getting it close. Lol
Oh, I know know the mistakes I made with my shoe care. I appreciate this video very much. I live in the USA, and I have about 60 pairs of shoes , sneakers, and boots.
Nice tips Dan, thanks! Hey Ron, hey Reggie. Tip for you Dan, if your going to start digging holes for fun, you should invest in a shovel with a longer handle , more comfortable to use.
One question for you, Dan: Do you have any tips on preserving or restoring patent leather shoes such as what American military calls Corframs? They crease and scuff, but there doesn't seem to be a good way to get those sorted out and preserve them like real leather. Also, always, always love it when you're silly. That's one of the many reasons why I'm here LOL! Love and appreciate the brief escape and laughter. Thanks!
Dan, steve bedo and Trenton and Heath…I don’t even watch sports anymore bc of these guys. I find it better to watch one of their videos than a football game.
Hi Dan . Great tutorial. One thing I do with my shoes and boots is put some air pillow insoles in them to keep the insoles looking new. When the insoles get trashed I just put in new ones.Also any thoughts on the DIY plastic heel protectors you put on your heels to keep them from wearing down ? Nice boots BTW. What brand ? Cheers. : )
Very simple changes can extend the life of your shoes significantly. I used to condition my shoes once every two weeks/four weeks. Now I do it once per season. I also let my shoes air out for about an hour before inserting cedar trees. I also started conditioning my leather soles and not just the uppers.
Hello, and thank you for these useful insights on shoe care. I have a practical question. We generally agree that we should not wear the same pair of shoes twice in a row. Is this only referred to two days in a row? For example, if I have a meeting in the morning, let's say from 8:00 to 12:00, and then I get back home and take the shoes off, should I wear the same pair for an evening meeting the same day, or should I wear another pair? Thank you!
I think it's possible to use cedar shoe tree for overnight for the pair of shoes You used. And next day replace with plastic shoe tree. And put cedar shoe tree in the newly used shoes. No?
Love yr videos. Where is yr shop that you get such upmarket shoes. I have a shoe fetish so love to see the expensive shoes. Maybe you could tell us why they are so expensive. Thanks so much
Oh bummer, I better get another pair so I can rotate them, bought Rangers, maybe some Nick’s but Thursday’s have some nice stuff for a really fair price
thank you.. for sharing the knowledge of your profession. im new to your channel.. keepsafe everyone and to the creator🔥❤️ in addition, how about canvass sneakers on your next video upload .. im into those shoes .. just an ample request sir.
I thought 7 sounded like one too many serious tips! I fully expected a Halloween special about how to resurrect the shoes as zombies so they would never die, and tips on how to legally obtain brains to feed them to keep them undead. "This tip not for everyone but my gothic viewers may find it compatible with their lifestyle." Great content nonetheless, and happy Halloween, thanks for awakening my imagination.
Hi Dan, I just got a pair of ferragamo tramezzas they are brand new and unworn yet. Chanced upon your video. Would like to know is it a good idea to apply stick on soles to protect them? And if so, which brand would you recommend - a vibram or topy? - Jeremy, Singapore
Hello Dan. My Great grandfather was a Cobbler. How did you you get into the trade? I'm wanting to re- train here in Northern Ireland. Jason in Belfast.
Those Dasco shoe trees are beech wood aren't they ? Regardless, I don't think cedar offers any advantages and was only used in the USA because it was relatively cheap and plentiful. Beech tends to be used more in Europe. Finally, the plastic shoe trees are very useful for travelling because they are much lighter.
I can attest that putting something in a cardboard box and burying it does not make it last longer. I copied Blue Peter as a child and decided to make my own 'time capsule'. I 'sealed' some of my prized possessions in a cardboard box and buried it in the garden. Two weeks later, I dug up a horrible soggy mess and everything was ruined.
I polish my shoes and boots regularly using Saphir polish and I get a decent shine . Should I be thinking of using conditioner as well on a monthly basis, won’t the polish act as a barrier against the conditioner?
Tip 8 - don't wear white shoes when digging holes? Great video, thanks for the tips, get your online store up & running so I can buy some Cedar shoe trees off you.
