    Hey Dan! Just received my boots yesterday, can’t thank you enough for the work done on them, they definitely needed saving! Beautiful craftsmanship and way more comfortable than before.
    Will definitely be coming for future work next time. Dave

      Hi Dave. I am also looking to get my Grenson triple welt Fred boots converted to the same sole ..
      Dan how much will it cost, looking at getting you to sort them out .. the sole is in good condition!
      Really enjoy your youtube clips after a long ski teaching in Austria !!

Its all to easy to slate someone's work without knowing the facts hopefully he has watch a couple you vid and become a better repairer. which is always a good thing. Thanks.

    it's always a pleasure to watch your craftsman skill in shoe repairs. it also reminds me off how bad my cobbler was where i have fix up my shoes. The company called itself as a master shoemaker. i paid high prices only for getting cheap exchange soles and they charged my for services like stiching the shoes extra. But i never saw anything of the charged service.
    i had ask them were are the new stiches and they answered my. you cant see them i just have to believe it they have done it. Basically you never saw anything like "love" or "effort" in the shoe repairs. I did it 3 times than i lost my trust in this craftsmanship. At the end i had throw all fixed shoes in the bin and bought me new one.
    I'd would love to find a decent cobbler in my area. I do have some nice shoes but i'm afraid to let them repair if it necessary because of the bad experience i got so far.

    Hi Dan. Firstly welcome back, seems an age since your last video. Secondly lil disappointed, I’ve emailed twice about my Russel and Bromley suede loafers, where I’d like a custom sole and heal, but I’ve had no reply at all. This was last year that I emailed. I understand you’re busy, and I didn’t want to just send them in. Maybe they’re not branded enough for you to work on. It’s a shame though, as a reply either way would have been nice. I’ve had them repaired in the meantime.
