Love this British Gentleman and his advice, I've been watching this for a while and also love the mic scratching sounds (and I'm happy that the shop seems to exist, still). By the way I've recently created an audiobook version of my free book, it took me a while so I'd be happy if you checked it out: findcalm.com/book
Just want to say I really look forward to reading your weekly newsletter on a Sunday evening. You speak about each topic beautifully and from the heart and your words I'm sure are appreciated by many.
Hopefully the firm survives Brexit...
@@5mnz7fg why wouldn't it survive Brexit....
@@themonkeypad They get their leather mainly from the continent the gentleman says. Thus, they may have to pay import duty after a final no deal brexit.
Unrelated to the video, I just found this super nice unintentional ASMR video of a guy preparing guacamole. I don't know if you have a way for subscribers to send you videos, but if you checked this out, it would be very cool for the channel.

There is nothing better that listening to passionate experts in their trade.
There is also nothing better than listening to the sweet sound of moulten hot liquid McFlurry escaping with volcanic force from my rectal cavity at 5am whilst watching a man talk about shoes. Life is good.
Agreed

@@canadiangirl2839 i know right x

When you have some money, two of the most important things to invest in are a good mattress and a good pair of shoes, because if you're not in one you're in the other.
@@danbrown141 You do more than work in shoes...
@@danbrown141 you go outside barefoot?
i don't wear shoes at home but i see what you're saying
And good pillows!
@@wayward4657 you do more than sleep in a mattress......
In retrospect I'd experience ASMR as a child listening to older people talk about things they were passionate about.
Me too! It was a peaceful feeling that was part physical, part mental. I find trouble re-experiencing it with so-called ASMR videos unfortunately.
me too. I'd also get ASMR when people were looking at and handling things carefully and quietly.
Ya know, maybe there’s something to that
My grandmother in Spain was telling me stories of her life and I could barely keep my eyes open even though I was fascinated. Now I know why and I wish I could have explained while she was alive...
You also had like “brain shivers?”
9:03 - “When you’ve got over the cost of anything that you purchase, the joy of using it goes on.”
I don’t understand…would someone explain what does that means?? Sorry, English is not my first language
@@thecoachingengineer Meaning that once you’re no longer bothered that you spent the money, you’re free to enjoy the product. 🙂
@@zachb4623 Ok, makes sense. If you are paying attention to how expensive the item was, then you are not paying attention to the item itself. Awesome, thank you so much Zach! Much appreciated.
My ex-wife wouldn't agree...
JK, she's my wife actually...
@@sammyrockywelly In all fairness, cheap shit is expensive. You end up wasting loads of money replacing cheap tat where a pricier, good quality item would've lasted. Of course once you pass a certain price point it stops being about quality and becomes about prestige.
It's great that stores like this still exist, it almost a lost art.
Yes, replaced by cheap, short-lived materials assembled by slave labor all for a lower pricetag.
It's not a lost art at all. Shoes like this were always reserved for the wealthy and were always on a small, specialist scale. Most people wore absolute crap before the 1940s and if anything cheap manufacturing has opened the market to people with lower incomes. The fact that many people choose to buy absolute rubbish that falls apart in a few wears is neither here nor there. They are to essentially be ignored by the middle to upper price ranges in the market.
yep
The part where he refers to bespoke shoes made in the St. James section of London, those are even more of a lost art. Places like John Lobb in London have bespoke shoes that START at $8,000, and that's for their cheapest bespoke shoe, and before the 20% VAT is added.
@@L.C.Sweeney absolutely fugking not true stupid
Before the 70s Before your generation made everything outsourced asf, everything Before was made in America and there were leather boot makes and cobblers everywhere
Ans brought the price down, if it was the same today boots like high end nicks would be 100 bucks and 1usd to resole
And it's always been thay way, way back for thousands of years when came to footwear
Fast fashion ruins this
I'm a former salesman and this gentleman just sold me at least 4 pair of shoes with this video. :D
Because he is so passionate
I want to buy from him too now
This guy should be narrating documentaries
He should describe the various meals available at mcdonalds so I can make a more educated purchase
legalize drunk driving "here you have a chocolate milkshake which is my absolute favorite, most people prefer the strawberry variety ". "This month you have the option of the McRib which I think is an exquisite choice"
Documentaries about WW2
tgheres certain david attenborough vibe bout him
Great to see Martin still in the business. Having worked alongside him on many occasions. A gentleman in every way. Keep it going.
Has he ever spent time in Australia? I feel like I'm picking up a slight Aussie twang in his accent, as though he was originally Australian-born or spent a period of time living in Australia. Beautiful voice regardless.
@@nataliekmaguire not that I’m aware of.
@@nataliekmaguire - I beg to differ, for better or worse - nothing Australian there.
I love how the old people speak English.. They are so organized when speaking and so calming.
Except for Joseph Potato Brain Biden 🥔
It comes with age
@@benfolds17 Trump needs two hands to drink water.
@@crazyalbedo haha...yeah that was funny that time he held the water bottle like that 😂
@@crazyalbedobut he ran the country great. He could use 3 hands for water and i wouldn’t care as long as he kept kicking ass as president
This British Salesman is all class and all skill. So nice to hear both an artisan (Cordwainer) and a salesman weave together his skills and knowledge. Note that he is directing the young man into the best type of shoe for him not just out of trying to sell him a more expensive shoe but trying to sell him the shoe that is right for him. That is the mark of a true Professional.
I can only imagine what the inside of that shop smells like. Must be heaven
SO refreshing to see someone who actually gives a shit about something and knows what they're talking about...
This is how I learn about random things. 1AM on a Thursday, learning about dress shoes.
Same, 1AM thursday 😅
You seem cool :3
man wtf me too. except its friday at 1am. its just been thursday. thursday literally just ended. im really high
Same. 11pm thursday
I had an argument with a leather shoe salesman in Camden, London once. Zero tingles during that exchange.
underrated comment
Tell me
Dude you’re YT account is 14 years old jfc
@@Asmrcritic587 oh yeah I'm old school. There's an indoor market in Camden and this Italian cobbler had some nice looking shoes for sale so I picked one up for a look and he came flying over, pulling the shoe out of my hand and shouted "No buy no touch!" so I said how would I know they were well made if I can't touch them and the guy erupted. I didn't buy the shoes which I still regret. They were nice shoes.
@@jstra man that sucks but if you bought those shoes the cobbler would’ve won
Despite the fact that a pair of shoes from them is about the same price I usually pay for a second hand car, firms like this represent a portion of old England there isn't much left of and this man is a blessing. Long may it continue
"Well, I can get that 2006 Toyota or a pair of shoes. Hmmmm. Let me see that Darby one more time, I do have a high arch . . . "
@@phaedrussmith1949 lmao
Absolutely! We need more examples of class and good manners in this world which is becoming cheaper and meaner every day.
I loved how the only time he slipped up was mentioning the web address, this guy is a dying breed unfortunately.....
Slipped up, good pun 🤣
The Greatest Generation.
I looked them up, prices are actually pretty reasonable considering the bespoke vibes here.
I miss the British Doc Martens that lasted 16+ years with care
I disagree on the dying breed comment. There are many business owners who are passionate about their products. You just don't always see them on a UA-cam video.
@@jarednil69 I meant more the man and his mannerisms, English gentleman
I’m a podiatrist my job would be much easier if shoe shops had more people like this working for them
Agreed, but then this gentleman has been professionally trained, in depth; your average shoe shop company has no concept to the anatomy of the foot; unfortunately, this is where artisanry meets cheap commercial rubbish.
This is a masterclass not just in shoe sales, but in sales period. Professional, informative, passionate and knowledgeable.
I like the part around the 8:00 minute mark when he talks about how it's cheaper to send in old shoes for refurbishing than buying new ones, and how much he loves to present said shoes to customers
The problem is you need two pairs of these/any dress shoes to utilize this feature. Assuming you wear them daily for work etc.
I’ve had a pair of cheaney boots for 8 years and they still look beautiful. Really great craftsmanship
I sometimes think of how many cheap shoes/boots were not discarded into a landfill.
Just lovely, he is such an elegant Gentleman, so well spoken, even his hand gestures showing the shoe details, are like a choreographed dance. I could listen to him all day long!
nothing beats classic craftsmanship, beautiful and built to last, design engineered over generations of time and embedded with soul, possessions that become a part of your life journey and age with you...
I find the way he moves his hands while he's "selling" to be absolutely fascinating. It's a perfect companion to his talking points and is such an old school method of movement etc.
I'm convinced that the person's actions and motions are a huge part of ASMR
This man is an absolute treasure. Bless him for his informative, direct but also kind and embracing delivery. This got me excited about dress shoes.
Having worked for Church’s English Shoes in the states, this man is a masterclass. I miss the shop and the presence, as I think the tradition is rich and worth learning about. Beautiful stuff.
Seriously incredible salesman, got me interested in leather shows which is quite an accomplishment
This guy could sell me water from my own fridge.
"The customer will say, 'Oh, are they my shoes?' And you can say, 'Yes they are... It's a wonderful feeling, wonderful feeling"
With so much cynism out there these days, that really made my day.
Damn, he is very good. Wonderful salesman, he is proud of his wares and has the experience to fit you to the best shoe for you. He explains the quality and construction and helps you appreciate what you have purchased. Very traditional and appreciated.
Having worked both in Harrods when I was much younger, I used to love the quality of British shoe makers. Whether it was Church’ Barkers , Grenson or Cheaney they all had that very distinctive mark of quality. It was wonderful seeing the experience and knowledge oozing from this salesman, who you could just tell had great respect for the product, and who you just knew you could trust implicitly.
The Gentleman passion filled the room
This gentleman knows how to sell a pair of high quality shoes!
LOL
Not to disagree about his salesmanship, but I get the impression that his customers have decided to buy before they step in the shop. I'm sure they are extravagantly expensive and one doesn't even enter the shop unless he intends to buy right there.
@@SmartAlx , think you are right about that. His clients dont look at the price tag 😉
Sales people have always been my second favorite asmr, first is one of my children playing hair dresser on my hair. These English chap gave me great tingles
Exact same for me, except for with my kids instead of yours
This is fantastic! Learned alot, and enjoyed seeing how delighted he is to share his knowledge.
My grandfather taught me the HUGE difference between buying quality and overpaying for crap. Quality wins EVERY TIME and well worth it! This gentleman is a tribute to his profession.
I could watch this a thousand times and not tire of its content, a wonderfully knowledgeable gentleman providing an outstanding customer experience.
He relaxes me. He knows his stuff
This man is a real professional and obviously knows his business and takes the time to explain in-depth of what he's offering the customer. Invaluable.
Absolutely love gentleman like this, true craftsmen and a real treasure.
As a former salesman I wished I could have watched this video over 20 years ago. I learned more about customer service and sales skills than I did from all the training courses I went on put together.
“…if you really want the business end of a walking shoe.” 😂 Inviting yet subtly threatening-a consummate salesman.
I got a serious soft spot for someone who really knows thier stuff. Specially a very tactile thing like shoe making too. I already like to listen, but when it's explained so calmly, quietly, but competently... Tingles.
I could listen to this gentleman for hours and never get tired of it. Not only he has a soothing voice, but the topic is absolutely fascinating.
I found this video to be quite fitting, I do say!
I love the British People. In London, it makes no difference what you are looking for be it shoes, clothing, personal grooming items, the quality, knowledge, and the test of time are very apparent in each shop. I live in the United States but, I order many items from London, England because of the quality., it is unsurpassed in the World, in my humble opinion.
Because of this video, I'm planning to buy shoes like this. They're beautiful.
I've been fortunate to meet Martin Grey at the opening of the Cheaney shop in Jermyn St, London. A knowledgeable and very nice man, and he's still very involved working at the Head Office in Northamptonshire. Needless to say , I wear Cheaney shoes ever since I bought my first pair 20 years ago. Its a joy to wear them.
So this doesnt give me ASMR BUT i could never be so rude as to not listen to this elder gentleman in an area of clear expertise. Watched the whole thing and learned a few things. Thanks to this man and his pride in his shoes 😁
The main reason I find this calming is because of the professionalism. I don't understand the majority of stuff he's saying, and it knocks me out.
Any interview with Jimi Hendrix could be a good unintentional ASMR choice. His voice and manner of speech was very soothing and calming.
The recordings would probably be crappy though
@@johnv6806 Not necessarily.
(fitting reply as he often said that during interviews).
If I went into a shoe shop and got this level of customer service, I wouldn't even ask how much they will cost!
Cheaney shoes are exquisitely made, they would literally last you a lifetime.
The gentleman seems like a long lost brother of David and Richard Attenborough.
With such a good narration, I can buy all the pairs.
This gentleman knows his products!
@9:01 Witness an absolute master. What a great salesman line.
This gentleman is a class act in the showroom.
I learned more about the manufacture of shoes in a few minutes from this gentleman than I have in my 54 years on this Earth. Well done Sir!
I wish I could find this type of quality in my leather gimp costumes, the crotch is always threadbare by Thanksgiving.
excuse me what
laughed out loud at this one, thanks xD
This man loves what he does, and his quiet pride and confidence in his wares is inspiring ❤️
Al Bundy could learn a thing or two from this gentleman.
I was thinking about Al Bundy too!!
😆
I NEED SHOES.
A fat woman came into the shoe store today...
How dare you say that to my face!
I'd say it behind your back, but my car only has half a tank of gas!!!
@@Mr_Chris77
🤣🤣🤣
Being British I love a good command of English he has good grasp
Wonderful presentation by a gentleman who knows his product line and is passionate about his work.
Excellent presentation and no Asmr effects because i was actually interested in what he was explaining, which is the "science" of classical shoes. Also, for us Yanks, he was very easy to understand as he did not have a harsh Brit accent, making it better to appreciate.
I truly enjoy watching someone who is both passionate and expert in their field. This was fantastic.
An amazing salesman. The younger generations have no idea what the experience of a good salesman can do for confidence in the product you are wearing. A person-to-person experience is vastly superior to video in my experience. I was a suit salesman for 3 years and you get to know the customers on a personal level. They appreciate the time and effort you give them and it really makes your personality all that much better. Trust they put in you results in confidence in yourself, and that’s the key to a good salesman.
This chap needs to make a book on shoes at least a hour long. His voice is so soothing...he can put me to sleep.
It's a blessing to listen to this gentleman!
I watched this wanting to experience some ASMR. Now I just want one of these shoes!!!
Just one?
The most professional part was at 5:04 when the customer thought it was quite comfortable and instead of selling the product the salesman gives him further choices.
What a wonderful, knowledgeable gentleman, clearly very proud of the quality of these shoes.
I miss the good old days when a shoe salesman measured your foot and slipped on your shoe😥
That used to give me amazing asmr as a kid 🤤🤤
got them tingles yk
What was the machine they used to put your foot in ?
Holy crap another one!
@@Markybug-Keira-Cody brannock device
These professional showmen are a dieing breed
I want literally every single pair of shoes he spoke about.
This is a Salesman.
What a brilliant communicator.
I may not be able to afford these shoes but I did just buy a shoe horn. What a difference! Makes getting the shoes on so much easier.
I really had no idea there was that much to shoes!
Yeah it can be a dangerous (expensive) obsession. I got really into shoes a while back, and once you get a pair of nicely made shoes, it's very hard to accept anything less.
Me neither. However, most things have a deeper level of knowledge and know how that separates the laymen from the experts. I'm from the Philippines, the home of Imelda Marcos'. 😂🇵🇭 Never really understood why she wanted to collect so many damn shoes, but seeing this can sort of see the appeal now. It's like therapy. 😂👠👞
That’s why cobbling was once a fundamental craft trade requiring apprenticeship.
I wonder if this gentleman knows about this video.
Love it. Love hearing all about people’s random passions!
Quality, quality, quality. I miss it so much.
What a joy to watch (and hear) someone who really KNOWS their stuff. Great ASMR triggers!
This gentleman could sell me sunblock in the middle of an Alaskan winter. Class act all the way.
What a gentleman. I would leave broke and feel good about it.
I could watch dozens of vids of this guy selling shoes! A very relaxed and knowledgeable approach he takes!
If all salesmen were like Martin, the world would be a better place
What an amazing video from the hardest working man in audio. So easy to see your enthusiasm and equally fantastic that staff from all three companies were good enough to attend.
A unique, very special piece of work to be proud of.
These shoes look awesome. I checked out their prices and holy cow...
Now this gentleman knows how to sell a product. Class.
Wow. This is a rare thing to witness these days. You would never experience this calibre of service at footlocker. I would generously tip this man for the experience alone.
I think the rich, heavy, leather smell in the store, would add greatly to the experience!
What a lovely gentleman. He makes me proud to be British :)
For those who don’t know, these shoes go for around 400£
I bought a pair of these on the back of this video. They are AMAZING.
This guy made me a better salesperson
It's 8:30am I haven't slept yet why am I watching a shoe salesman
A true professional who loves what he is doing.
Gorgeous shoes, beautifully presented.
What is it about an expert speaking confidently on their expertise that is so soothing?
It blocks the world out. 100% focus on a shoe.
I suspect these shoes cost a lot less than ones made by Lobb. They look fine quality and the company is courteous, without being obsequious. I'll see if they sell to Australia. I might just treat myself to one of their products.
Lol. Came for the asmr, stayed for the "London waist" and "rambler rubber sole"
When you got over the cost of anything that you purchased the joy of using it goes on. Brilliant analogy.
