    My grandad was a shoe repairer, had his own shop in Birmingham, he sadly passed away some time ago now but i still remember a few of these processes from when he had his machinery in his workshop at home and as a hobby repaired friends and family shoes.

      Lol that's with the most stuff, even good products are as best as the finance appartment would let it be and could be mostly easlily upgraded for small money. But then there would be depreciation, if it is a collectors item and not fully original. - but on the other hand, if you use something for its purpose it will mostly automatically depreciate, so it doesnt matter.

      If you use someone like Dan, who is a cobbler and not just someone trained to put soles and heels on, you get a quality job.
      It's a case of getting what you pay for, especially when the shoes that are being repaired are expensive to start with.
      I'm sure that if he ever started making bespoke mens shoes , they would be better quality than most of the named luxury brands.

    Have you ever tried to iron out the creases, it works for me on Jordan’s and other leather trainers. I stuff the toe with paper to make the creases flat and then put a wet towel over the toe and then iron over the towel. Works perfectly. Not sure if it would work on these types of shoes as obviously the leather is a higher quality but just a thought

    My father was a shoe maker. Watching this, remindes me of working in his shop. His supplier was Persy adlere. Back in 1990 he'd charge about £10. He'd also channel the groove by hand for the blake stiching then fold the the material back over. He also would have painted the sole and polished it on the finisher. I wish i had taken the time to learn his trade, but alas i was more interested in fixing cars. I remember the smell in the shop, watching this brings back all those memories from when he was alive.
