The Sexy Dan mug bit cracked me up! Keep up the great job you‘re doing 👍🏼
The owner obviously loves these boots, so I can't imagine how much he's going to love them with a real insole and outer sole vs what came original! Quality job, Dan!
Nice to see shoes and boots getting repaired instead of thrown away filling up the landfills. We are a wasteful bunch over here in the States.
It was a dying craft in the UK but seems to have resurged a bit luckily. Cobblers are one of the oldest trades and it would be such a shame to see it die out.
The problem is also that such repairs are often almost as expensive as new shoes. And it's not easy to find a good cobbler.
The main issue being, all the replacement items such as sole/glue/wax etc have been manufactured and transported, likely from China - so it's hardly as eco friendly as it seems.
Add to that, the repair likely cost much more than a brand new pair which can be had for about £40 if you shop around.
It's false economics to be repairing mass produced tat like Timberlands, these aren't a handmade pair of Cleverly's, they're just cheap mass poo produced fashion boots. If they'd been thrown away, they'd have served their purpose after 33 years, most of which would have seen them unworn as a pair of Timbs are lucky to last a year with regular wear, and soles don't disintegrate like that without years and years of oxidisation and neglect.
If people bought better to begin with, things would last much longer. That's the real issue - fast fashion. Cheap trash that falls apart which usually isn't worth getting mended at all.
If you're English, think of it as Triggers broom. It's no longer the same broom if you keep on adding new parts, which nullifies the recycling aspect when you're using things like rubber and glue, both harmful to the environment in how they're manufactured and transported. They'd have been better thrown away and replaced by a pair of Red Wings or something that'll last a decade at least, and when the time comes to repair, the materials needed are natural.
I'm no eco warrior by any means, I barely even recycle, but the old repair don't replace trope often works out worse in the long run. Where did the old sole go? Likely the same landfill the shoes would have gone if they'd been thrown, and leather is biodegradable - so that pair of shoes is now responsible for four rubber soles being in landfill eventually instead of two.
Cobblers and tailors benefit from repairing as it's easy money, but the environment doesn't if you really think about it. Dan likely drives to work, then uses electricity/gas whilst there, all of which consumes energy that wouldn't have been used otherwise to fix a cheap pair of shoes that a hobo would turn down.
In my opinion: Don't know if some of the guy's here really do believe everything the eco nutters say about consumer residential waste all ending in landfills; but most of this waste type is actually incinerated generating from 20% - 32% of the electric utility while the left over scrap metal is used for making road concrete more dense as the ash becomes ashfault filler.
Most likely discarded boots will become electricity & never enter a landfill like construction waste.
Construction waste often has toxic stuff that shouldn't be incinerated due to concerns with air quality.
Lots of stuff now is made from reprocessing residential waste. Old places might still be dumping into fills, at a real economic loss considering how HDPE is becoming the next commercial utility grade plastic for consumption next to PE & ABS. Your #1 & 2 plastic bottles are pretty disgusting considering how many times they've been reprocessed.
The next time you drive on ashfaul or see rusty spots in the concrete, think of it as your landfill & not some membrane layered mound like you see in rural areas to help compost the soil - that would be a different way of processing another type of waste.
Ive worn Dr Martens for many many years now but they don't make them as good as they used to.
Had a pair of 1460s I wore for about 7-8 years until my Staffie chewed one up (properly tasted like rawhide lol) but was proper gutted so brought a pair of 8 lace steel toecaps, worn them everyday for near 11 years now ❤❤❤
Soles getting a bit thin but Ive changed my walking style as the outside has alot more sole than inside 😂
I reckon I got another year or 2 before a resole ❤
I love watching these videos.
It’s nice to see people who have skills
4:35 I LOVE that a model became a cobbler. There can’t be very many who have taken that career path.
this guy is a fraud and terrible cobbler irl
Have you seen his face 😂 no wonder he became a cobbler
Instant click when I see the notification 😊😊😊😊 love seeing new Dan videos!
Love the pond!! Who are the kitties??
How do I see the pond?
Good work there Dan and the garden pond look good I bet the cats can’t wait too see the fish 😂👍👍👍👍
I'm always sad when I don't see a video from you in a few weeks but it's so cool to hear what's taking your attention in your personal life...I would love to see the pond!
Hey Dan, I love the sound of the sole trimmer!
The midsole and sole look way better than the original even when brand new.
Hey Dan, the women will go crazy over that mug!🤣😂
Thanks for the awesome video Dan. That pond looks great. The shoes look really good and to think for that price, these 33 yr old shoes may last another 20 yrs at least. Keep up the stellar work!
Pond looks great. Look into some underwater lights. Fun to watch the fish at night circling the lights.
Boots turned out fantastic as always.
Great pond Dan, now I want to dig one too.
Timberland Boots are usually between $100 - $150, depending on where you buy them, if they're on sale, if you have coupon, etc. This restoration probably cost more than buying a new pair of boots. Makes you wonder if it's actually worth resoling cemented or injection molded shoes.
I am so happy to see another video! Thanks for your time, hope everything is going great with the biz!!
You taking about a pond, reminds me of something I saw on FB: One day, you're all "Oh, birds". And then all of a sudden you're saying, "Is that a Yellow Bellied Throat Warbler?" and you're excited by it.
Fabulous job as usual Dan. When I was younger I used to wear Timberland boots all the time. Love your pond and waterfall. I too love the sound of water. Thanks.
Is it me or does this man seem like the happiest person on the planet? Happy for ya man. Keep it up.
I don't remember how I stumbled on this channel, but whenever Dan posts a new video I'm glad I did!
Stunning restoration for one of the world's best looking boots! Fabulous pond!
7:38 Thanks for the catchy tune!!!!!!!
The series from Timberland's is the best series, make as many materials as possible about the renovation of these shoes !!! keep doing it!!!
Darn, at work rn...but can't wait to watch it after 😊
Lovely work as usual Dan.. Very therapeutic watching you do this... ❤
Well done, Dan! The pond looks great.
Another great job, Dan. Your fish pond is beautiful. Love your videos.
I like the way you edited this video. Slightly different but had a nice flow and great energy. The pond is looking 👌 and of course the shoes 👍👏
heyyyyy love the channel big fan just wanted to let you know that the moving manikin in the beginning intro is in all of my nightmares appreciated all your content 👌
I was 10 years old when the owner bought those boots. Great job, nice pond and gorgeous cats.
Great job Dan
I'd like to see an episode where Dan finally uses the shoe oven to make lunch. Maybe a small pizza or hot sandwich of some kind.
Nice job Dan great to see things repaired/refurbished rather than chucked in the bin 👍
Great job. The pond really is beautiful. Great work.
I love to watch a craftsman doing excellent work.
I do love watching timberland restorations. I love these boots but they charge enough to make a boot that really lasts and one that can easily be restored if they did it right.
You know you're getting old when you get excited about a pond! lol
I love watching timberland boot restorations
Excellent job Dan and I love the pond! You have a "coat of many colors"🙂
Glad to see a video!
Awesome pond and shoe refurbish Dan. Ur the best!!
Yay, it's the charming cobbler, dashing Dan 😊
😍😍😍😍😍 Awesome work. THANK YOU !!!
Gorgeous pond, well done !
Excellent!
Love the extreme restoration vids ❤❤❤
@Tring Shoe Repairs, 33 yr old shoes and they're still together! I wouldn't have thought you'd take sandpaper to them but it's nice to know now. The pond looks great, would like to have seen it at night illuminated! I♥those kitties too, they're beautiful and look so soft! ^_^
Thanks Dan that was a lovely video 👍
If anything, I welcome you back amigo. Cheers and hope all is well
You’re the man, thanks for another great one! 😊
pond looks awesome!!
Awesome episode thankyou and what an a amazing pond congratulations
Super job
I'm a simple man. I see a new upload from Dan, and I click the like as soon as I can.
Very impressive restoration!
Great job on the pond also
Love the cats!
Excellent work
This reminds I had CAT boots when I was at school about 30 years ago. I absolutely loved them, my Mam thought she’d surprise me and get them re-soled (or whatever it is called) and they were a mess! Dan you make it look so easy! What an amazing job x
Fantastic job on the Timberlands.
Your pond looks great!
Your cats seem really cool, too.
Great video!
Those boots look fantastic.
Another one! Great job Dan. I was wondering just how you were going to restore them. Thanks for the ideas!
I like the "Dan the model man". Great restoration as always. Cheers.
Ottimo lavoro Maestro! 💯🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡🍾
Love your pond it looks great.😊
Fantastic job on those work boots.
That cup. Great job on the pond
Nice job Dan.
Great video 😌
Great pond-job well done!
Quite the rescue!
Loving the where’s ron lol first one was kinda hard to find😆
Keep ‘EM coming. Nobody does uppers like Dan.
Nice i like your job lether shoes my my favourite
Good job!
You should sell those Sexy Dan mugs.
And i'm barely even joking, that's a business opportunity and a half man! :'D
EDIT: Wrote this before you mentioned the selling bit. Anywhere between 30-40$. And honestly, that's because i know how much it can take to produce and ship those. Realistically 20-25, but that's probably an unreasonable ask depending on where you're producing and shipping from.
Let's just say that if it's under 45 excluding shipping, _you're selling to at least one of us. ;)_
Dan whistling the theme to the animated Robin Hood movie made this video even better!
Great job bringing those Timbos back to life. Sadly I've had to chuck more pairs in the trash than I wanted because what few shoe repair shops we had in the area ( Connecticut ) didnt want to touch putting soles on that style of boot. The two shops I knew about have since closed. One was a dedicated shoe repair and the other in an ancient hardware store that offered different services. $152.00 US is a great price to renew those compared to $235.00 + tax US for new here right from Timberland online.
I'm sure the owner will be quite pleased. You do very good work..
That’s my favorite flavor of Monster you have there!!! Dude that 160 MG of caffeine Plus the coffee!!! Be careful homie!! Much love from California
Amazing what you are capable of ! Hello from Calgary, Canada
Love your videos!
MORE VIDS!!! Love the channel
Good one thanks
I have that same yellow Parker. Classic
Nice pond, mate! If I had a back yard a garden and a pond would be a priority. Nothing like doing things yourself and getting your hands dirty to make a person proud of their home.
well done Dan. Until next time! Rock on Ron!
I have a pair of 27 year old Timbs. They were so old the original somes delaminated. I took them intona good shoe and boot repair and he repaired them with a pair of full depth Vibram soles. Im still wearing 10 years later. One of my favorite boots.
Cobbler/Landscaper. Who knew? Excellent work on both.
WOW ❤
These look tremendous given the Age.
Nice work on the Pond as well, would have loved to see that Project come to life.
Great video. Dan did the same for my classic leather Timberlands a couple of years ago - definitely worth it. They're serving me well, although they're only c20 years old. And the benefit (which Dan didn't mention in this vlog) is that they can be easily repaired with the worn out sole being easily removed and a new one glued to the stitched midsole.
😅 do
Omg, I very you give the BEST back massages! As soon as I saw you massaging that leather sole onto those Tim's, I knew you would be great at them. (Sorry, but after having back surgery, I appreciate strong hands!) 😂
Another great video! 🥾
Lots of talents
Love the content and hope the strongman show goes well!
pond is awesome!
Thanks
Sweet pond man!
Awesome and funny as always great job bud
This always makes me happy - I have no idea why...
