In this video, we give this pair of Sebago shoes a makeover. A local customer brought these into our shop to see what we could do. They were literally falling apart. We told him it would cost as much to fix them as it would to buy a new pair, but he said he really liked these and wanted to renew them. With new German leather soles, sole protectors, new leather heel blocks and some Saphir Renovateur and Pommadier cream added to the uppers, this pair ended up looking...new!

I’m a transplanted Yankee to South Carolina. I grew up in Massachusetts and developed that “hahd cohr” Boston accent. Then I moved to the Midwest and nobody could understand me and I was teased. So I had to do my best to get to a happy medium. Now I live in the south and I cringe at the improper grammar used by southerners, such as “I’m fixin’ to git me some.” I’ve noticed that in movies and on tv, when an actor needs to appear ignorant he will put on a southern accent. And tv anchors will go to great lengths to discard their southern accents. All that being said, the south is full of dear, brilliant folks and it’s too bad that they are mocked because of the way they talk. Maybe one day there can be a happy medium. 😊

I'm a kid of the 70's when Americans actually repaired things vs. throwing them out and buying new ones. I appreciate folks restoring their shoes. Who remembers the TV repairman who came to your house and fixed your TV? Or taking the tubes to the local hardware store to replace them. I recognize labor costs are significantly more today than back then. Some items like TV's technology improves where it's not worth repairing. However, some things are worth restoring/rebuilding/fixing due to the original quality of the item, like good shoes. Certainly sentimental value comes into play on items as well. In the collector car world, many OEM original parts are easily restored back to like new condition. The quality of those parts are vastly superior to anything made in China today. Another good video gents.

@antyoung 4 года назад

When you go to the shoe store have your feet measured, and make sure you wear the socks you'll be wearing when you're wearing your new shoes. Sock thickness can make a big difference to the fit of a shoe. Also be sure to buy some wooden shoe trees to go with your new shoes. You'll think they're expensive at first and that you don't need them, but they're honestly worth every penny. Shoe trees help maintain the shape of your shoes throughout their lifetime and stop them from looking misshapen and developing severe creases and wrinkles. They'll keep your shoes looking smart for as long as you own them, and your grandfather would be proud of that.

@antyoung 4 года назад

Also, don't wear your shoes every single day. Try not to get the soles wet. If they get wet let them dry out properly before wearing them again (otherwise the leather sole will wear out much quicker) and as stated in this video a rubber sole protector is a great idea to prolong the life of your shoe's soles. If you ask the guys in shoe store about proper maintenance they'll explain everything to you.

Another awesome video guys! I have a quick tip that might help you out. Since dried/tacky contact cement sticks like hell to another piece of dried/tacky contact cement, but it doesn't stick that much to something else, place several popsicle sticks, post-it notes, paint stirrers, whatever... over the contact cement going around the edge of the sole. That way you can place the upper over the sole and set it down on the popsicle sticks, and one-at-a-time remove the popsicle sticks and just stick down one little area. Then go to the next, and so on. That way, you will always stick every bit of the upper right where you want, without having to worry about some other piece of it sticking down somewhere else and having to be ripped loose and re-stuck. I do a lot of wood veneer projects for building furniture, and this tip saved my ass over and over.

@novembermiss 4 года назад

Beautiful job as usual, and thank you for featuring shoes that are less than the quality construction seen in your usual shoe projects. It didn't matter as far as your craftsmanship--you put the same amount of effort and detail into these as you would for a pair of John Lobbs. Just from watching your previous videos, I can see the difference in the quality of the construction, the types of materials used, the quality of the leather and how well the shoes clean up (my first thought when I saw this pair was that the uppers were bookbinder leather, but I could be wrong there) , etc. They can't all be John Lobbs, I guess, but it really emphasizes why it pays off to pay more for a high quality men's shoe that will yield 10 or more years of wear versus buying lesser quality and wearing them only a couple years before they're headed to the trash bin.

Could this be converted to a Goodyear welt using the existing holes from the previous sole?

@enbardis 4 года назад

I think a goodyear welt, the upper is curved in and glued to the midsole, then the welt is stitched once on the inside (where your foot is) to the midsole. Then it is stitched again on the outside (where you are seeing the stitches) between the welt and the actual sole of the shoe. So you would need the last so you could stretch the upper inwards to make it a goodyear welted shoe.

This video is timely as I just ordered a pair of Allen Edmonds Magliani Wingtips from their Italian factory at a heck of a discount (almost $400 off MSRP).

I'm just glad I didn't pay full price only to find out they can't be resoled. I would have felt pretty duped at that point.

OMG!!! I'm glad to see this art still very much alive. Do you restore ladies shoes???

@ralphrodriguez7964 4 года назад

“Stitch out”. No amount of googling could get me to that term. Luckily RU-vid recommended this video. I have a few years old pair of Clark Senner Ave Chukkas. A majority of the upper is done with stitch out. Now I know what it would take to resole. I think I’ll save my money for a boot that can be reworked. Excellent video and thank you!

Stitch Down is the more common term.

You both do amazing work, but I'd like to know (and maybe even see) is when things don't work out the way that you had planned or hoped for.

sydney4911 Thank you! We’ll see what we can do. Fortunately, we usually only bring in work that we know we can do.

Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship there, I'm confident most people in your trade would have declined such a refurbishment. Well done.

That is a cool little anvil at 6:31! Never seen one like that before. where did you get it? Also, that was an outstanding resole! I have a favorite pair of cheaper leather shoes with one of those rubber, one piece soles with the same stitching. But the shoes are so comfortable and I have had them for almost 30 years and are my favorite pair of shoes. I’ve always wondered if they could be successfully resolved (cobblers said they couldn’t), but I can see now that they actually can be by your method. A lot of work and probably not worth it, but I like the idea of rejuvenating an old pair of favorite shoes instead of tossing them in the trash. Thank you for making this video!

I had a $250 pair of 10 inch bates made in USA motorcycle touring boots reheeled and resoled../Rebuilt. They are more comfortable now than they ever were.

Can you do a video on adding more arch supports for shoes? (like a custom shoe would have, not just putting in store bought insoles) can you basically just add more cork in places? If you do a video I'll try it myself on my Churchs.

@keithgarcia8826 4 года назад

You may have answered this before, but where did you receive your training? What you do is a craft and not all craftsman are the same. You appear to have had a great teacher. Also, what made you gravitate to cobbler as a career?

@denniss8644 4 года назад

There's no welt, you're standing right on the soles and it's a plastic heel block. Why would anyone buy these shoes???

@djtaylorutube 4 года назад

Not everyone can afford to buy shoes starting in the price range of say £400 and above, even though long term they'll not need replacing as often.

@amanasd26 4 года назад

@needfortweed8734 4 года назад

They're cheap, I suppose… And if you are like I was until I stumbled upon this channel, you'd just go "Well, all the extra money you spend on expensive shoes are only the brand name anyways"...

@djtaylorutube 4 года назад

@@needfortweed8734 We may not have the full story, they could be inherited for example and thus sentimental value but even if not, as Trent said, "money wasn't the issue". Some expensive shoes are brand name only, others deliver the expected quality. Channels like this are great at highlighting what's what, it's all good education. :)

@wt460 4 года назад

Why in the world would he spend the money to replace the entire bottom portion of the shoe instead of just going out and buying a new shoe. He must be spending more on the repair, than he did initially in buying the shoe. Potter and Son’s do fabulous work and I’m sure he’ll love the shoe in the future as it is now better than it was when he bought it.

@science.unlimited 4 года назад

Excellent handcraft. I love your work. It's very therapeutic and calming to see you working with that level of masterly. I woul like to see, maybe on the video description, some info , like the cost of the restoration, so we could decide if our shoes are worthy to be restored. Thanks
