    This has to be one of the best channels on this site. No crazy in your face product placement, no boring script reading all throughout the video, just a genuine guy doing what he does best and hanging out.

      I enjoy this channel, but if you think: No crazy in your face product placement, no boring script reading all throughout the video,
      Is all that's on youtube. You need to do some more looking around. There are loads of channels like this, from craftsmen and experts in their fields.

    Steve, I grew up watching my maternal grandfather and two uncles as they repaired shoes. They’ve passed on, but I inevitably think of them when I watch you, and I say to myself, “Wow! My folks would’ve surely enjoyed watching Steve.” Sir, thank you for showing us your craft and doing it with a sense of humility and perfection.

      For what I can tell most men have no idea what a great shoe is. Im 67 and just got a pair of Allen Edmond's. I kinda see now why women like shoes so much, it changes your attitude. But it could be addictive, so you got to watch out !!

  • @helicart

    Found this channel a week ago, and have had great success watching his vids at bed time.
    Man, they chill me out...and help me get to sleep better.
    It's the satisfaction of seeing someone put love and master craft energy into something functional and beautiful.
    Though even moreso, it's his totally natural uninhibited wry witted banter.
    There's so little of this today.
    I am over 50, so maybe Steve manner is more familiar and comforting to me, than young pups.
    Nevertheless, hopefully young people will realize they can become Steve's too.

    Steve, I really enjoyed watching you restore these Allen Edmonds into something more upscale from the nice, but boring brown. This transformed shoe is now jazzy with some personality. Great to see a more than satisfied customer so thrilled. Way cool. Can't wait for another episode. "Let's continue." 😃

    So, here’s what I see: a person can find a size/style that they love from AE or other make, and then have work like this done to make the pair on par with bespoke craft! All for a value price that is probably 1/4 to 1/6 what it would have required to go truly bespoke from beginning. That’s awesome!
