In a culture where practically everything is not built to last, it is refreshing to see immaculate craftsmanship and pride in a job well done. Thank you.

To user jy3mr7wf2f
In your country, do you know the European fairytale, called The Elves And The Shoemaker?
In my opinion it would have been nice to leave the edges of the soles the lighter colour, and NOT make them black.
Filling in the soles, with CORK! Who'd have thought it?
I love all the old tools and machinery, they were built to last
If someone would have told me 10 years ago I'd be spending my late 20s and early 30s watching a channel about shoe care where I'd become obsessed with the sound of leather being cut, I would have thought they were nuts. Now i'm too obsessed to stop. 🤣
I’m just going all out with the Leather S&M Scene😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@cheeksarrones how's it going?
SAMEEEE. Pinch me 😅😊
You do it because you admire the effort and dedication of the artisans, I would never have thought I would be doing the same and I’m only 68;-).
Watching you working on those Florsheim Imperials took me back to the late ‘70’s when my dad would have his Imperials worked on. Whenever I watch the 2 of you, I close my eyes and can remember the smell of the leather at Square Deal Shoes in my hometown of Des Plaines, Illinois. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work and for keeping the shoe Cobbler trade alive!!!
Muito bonito mesmo
It’s still open, that’s where I get my shoes
My father wore Florsheim Imperials that my sister and I called 'termite shoes' for the small holes in them. My father was very smart and was making over $50K yearly in the late 1950s and always had the best of tools, clothes, etc. I later realized that Florsheim and Bass and Allen Edmonds are all top notch shoes...
my grandfather was a cobbler, he passed well before I was born, but my mother says the same thing. she remembers the smells of the workshop fondly...
I really like the shoes and have known the Florsheim name all of my 76 years, but I had no idea they were so meticulously crafted. This was fascinating and just reaffirmed my feeling that we have become a throwaway society, and I'm sorry to see it. Thank you! 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
makes me appreciate his craftsmanship even more
I never imagined that I'd become a cobbler groupie. These gentlemen are so amazing.
Another insanely entertaining and calming video. I used to wear nothing but Florsheim Imperials. There was nothing like them. Now I actually see why. It breaks my heart to see what junk Florsheim has become.
In January of 1982, I bought a pair of this exact shoe, Florsheim Imperial Wingtips, pebbled leather. Same shoe. I still proudly wear them to the office. I have no end of fun telling my staff and coworkers that the shoes I am wearing are older than they are, lol! My dad thought I was crazy at first to spend so much on a pair of shoes, fresh out of college as I was, but once I saw them, I simply had to have them. I told him this was going to be the last hundred bucks I'd ever spend on black shoes. He told me that if I took care of them, they'd last a lifetime. He was right. I was wrong, though, as a few years ago I bought a nice pair of Allen Edmonds black shoes, just for the fun of it. They're not nearly as heavily built as my Florsheim Imperials. The Florsheims are SOLID. Thanks for another awesome video!
I have a pair of Florsheim Royal Imperial’s that I purchased in 1979 for $375. They have been re-soled and reheeled probably a half a dozen times and they still look great. Heath did a beautiful job on those shoes.
That's a hefty amount for back then.
I had to look it up: $1 in 1979 is $4.12 today. So, your shoes would have costed $1545 in todays dollars! They were incredibly well made shoes.
Does anyone know the difference between Florsheim Imperial shoes and Florsheim Royal Imperial shoes? I purchased them from a Florsheim Shoe Store in a mall in Arizona.
My dad had two pair and that is all he needed. One brown, one black, timeless wingtip style.
I like the new format even though you guys never wasted our time with useless banter as so many other creators do. I like too that you keep the captions up long enough to be read by old guys like me. I have never seen you guys add moisturizer to the inside of the shoes before. Have you always done that?
Even if I had your talent, I could never be a cobbler, I. would be yelling at guys to put shoe trees in your shoes damnit!! Another outstanding job!
If it needs it and we have access to the lining we will add it.
You're an Artist!!!
Wonderful job!!!
Congratulations... ❤🎉
Funny how things happen. Several months ago I found a video pop up on my UA-cam feed way way out of my usual interest. It was a ferrier reshoeing and providing hoof repair to a horse. I was mesmerized. For the next week or so I must have found 5 or 6 ferrier channels. I still watch them from time to time. Now you guys pop up and now I'm watching human ferriers. I'm very impressed with your skills and devotion to detail.
I never seen a restoration like this. Simply amazing. Congratulations. Greetings from Brazil.
And I like this kind of videos, too... I like that you explain in subtitles exactly what you are doing. The most routine things for you are very new for someone who never did anything like this - explaining what a tool or a machine does is very interesting. Please keep doing both!
Очень понравилась ваша работа - работа мастера - профессионала! Хорошего здоровья вам, процветания в вашем дел е и всех земных благ!!! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
In my opinion, your best video to date. Much more detail and explaining . Please do more ASMR. Beautiful restoration.
Watching a skilled craftsman at work is very enjoyable to me. His confidence, the assurance shown in his movements and the sense that this chap knows exactly what he's doing, all combine for a very satisfying show.
Pp]]pp]
Gentlemen, I had no idea of how much skill it takes to be a Cobbler until I caught one of your videos on my feed. Hell, I never took shoes in general seriously until recently because of watching you guys do what I consider Magic when it comes to repairing. This is nothing but a tremendous amount of knowledge and skill and I'm now constantly fascinated by watching Trenton & Heath do your thing. Thank you so much for the learning experience and fantastic vids. Btw, I subbed the living hell out of you channel. Cheers and again Thanks boys! 👍
Another convert!
Just wonder ,Did the cork is recycleable material?
@@mholzmann Lol. Yup!
There used to be many many shoe repair shop's in California bay area. When people wore real leather shoes, boots, they would have them repaired or resole and last many year's. Until the sneakers tennis shoes came along everyone had to have the latest style and shoes became disposable.
In the old day's you may had very few shoes in your life time.
Total work of art here guys!!! I would just put these on a shelf and never wear them outside : )
😂I always think the same after the Completion.You get them home take a look and think🤔I’m not going to wear these outside and Ruin them🙈😜
Why have them refurbished it not to be worn and enjoyed?
Hello I'm Nort Italian and I'm a seaman. A long time ago I bought a pair of Timberland in USA (when Timberland were made in USA). After 30 years, new soles from Vibram gave new life to my Timberland
After all that work on those shoes, I dont think I could wear them outdoors. I'd put them on a shelf to be admired. Beautiful job. Its above skill, its art.
¡¡¡¡¡ Maravilloso trabajo!!!!! Maestria, precisión, pulcritud, laborioso preciso y conciso, me ha encantado .🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
I love that you guess are training new guys in this trade!! Been watching for years and just love the art behind cobbler work. Keep doing good work guys!!
Love this type of repair. Great Job! Hands of Gold!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Tremendous amount of labor. Have to be high end shoes to justify this amount of work. Impressive job. 😊
I like when you explain everything out loud and subtitles also
My Dad had 3 pair of FL. Sooo proud of them. Loved to watch him shine them. How beautiful to watch a vintage pair come back to life more beautiful than ever. You are a true artist. Thankyou!
Effective ASMR relies on the sounds of the work you're doing. Soothing music can be had anywhere.
The videos you guys produce (ASMR or not) are fantastic and so much fun to watch.
That's a good edit. Thank you for the revisit, the craftsmanship is cool too see.
Here in the UK There’s nothing Even Today Still like a Decent Full Pair of leather Brogues on your Feet👍
I’m a Fan of Full grain leather And Leather Soles if possible just for the looks alone and Still Wear my Black Grenson Archie’s and Triple Welts which I’ve added Steel Tips To the heels to save on heel wear.
I also Love my Loake 1880 Chester brogues the same But never Had The Florsheim imperials which seem to be more popular in the US for some reason as here it’s Grenson,Loake and Trickers that are the most popular.
I’ve also never used Saphir Products but swear by Altberg Leder Gris As my Go To For Polish and Waterproofing.
Superb Video as Always by you guys and a pleasure to watch you work and the Detail you put into restoring these beauties🙏👍
Thank yoooou for leaving off all the talk. Much more entertaining
My 11 year old son and I watch and re-watch your videos as part of his nightly routine! We love them! He loves learning and is fascinated by the way you both teach your viewers. So, from one dad to you both, Thank you for what all of you at Potter and Sons do!
Impressive reconstruction - and the use of captions is a good thing.👍
That had to be a VERY expensive repair! Just beautiful. Like the change of pace in the format of the show this week!
Yeah, I guess we really need to know that to provide some context.
@@adammutolo5800 the truth thar back in the 70s and mid 80s these shoes were sold for 39.99..then 49.99 then 55 then 69 by mid 80s. Just imagine thar most people don't want to even pay 30 dollars now .if you go to Goodwill you will find this shoe popup and they sell for about 10.00..I have a pair myself from there along with a few Allen Edmonds
.
Да, за такой труд надо платить приличные деньги.
Wonderful repair.
Nice rebuild, Steve would approve. LOL To the owner of those fine old kicks, Shoe Trees EVERY day when removing them from your hooves! And condition that leather regularly.
Absolutely beautiful job you've done. You can see the pain staking hours you've spent bringing these black men's brogues back to life. Thanks for sharing your talent ❤
Awesome work! Thanks for taking us along!!!
I grew up in the shoe business and sold Imperials. Customers were always happy with them. I even go back to the days when J&M's were legitimate options but also understand some of the tough decisions made for remaining solvent! Thanks for the effort you put into your videos. It adds a lot of work to every chore you do and it's appreciated!
Thank you! We appreciate you watching.
Last I checked, Johnston and Murphy's are simply expensive Dockers' shoes at this point. (Which aren't bad shoes, if you don't mind wearing out a pair every year.) My mom sold J&Ms back too, when they were very prestigious.
I like the quiet format...but we also enjoy getting to know you guys thru the audio...
You did about all that could be done to the soles! Great work.
I loved this style of video... very relaxing and fun to watch. It seems the old Florsheim shoes were made very well. But, that was probably before most production went to China and India.
The cobbler's art. Beautiful. Enjoyed the relaxed ASMR.
I stand amazed! What you're able to do...bringing shoes back to life!
Thank you
Absolutely awesome work!! Your work, and you, are worth every dollar spent for all you do. ❤❤
As a young man I wore wingtips and penny loafers. Always thought they looked classy. Great work on the restoration.
Just Extraordinary. I've never seen you put so much work into decorating shoes as you did with these.
Bravo fellas! Just beautiful
Your customer certainly got his money’s worth out of these shoes.
Now he just gets to start over.
Thank you Sir, for the video & the captions the music put me asleep, so I just watched it a 2nd time.
Thank you Sir.
Aww my uncle had a pair of those, that brought back memories! You did an excellent job!!!
Oddly satisfying and relaxing. Great work.
I’ll buy this from you. It look a real classic! But I don’t wear dress shoes often. I mostly wear safety toe work boot.
Thanks for show us this to understand that it can be reuse after resole and restore than buying cheap China made shoes.
Thank you!
Just think. No AI, ChatGPT, none of that. Skill, knowledge, experience and learning the old fashion way. Great video!
That was very relaxing after a long week. Thank you very much.
Great work as always Gents. The ASMR was something a little different and enjoyable.
Long time viewer here, I LOVE this style of video. The text explains any interesting details, but the gentle quiet music compliments the sounds of leather squeaking, rough textures, and the work being done.
I love these videos, and have watched almost all of them. I’ve also clipped a lot of nails in my life, and it kills me to say PUT ON EYE PRO!!! Squinting isn’t going to stop a nail.
Great job. Always nice to see a pair of Florsheim Imperials brought back to life, all the way down to the v-cleat. I thought these were hard to find anymore but you seem to have a good supply. I like the sub title approach to explaining each step as well.
And you left the sub title on long enough to me to read slowly.
I do appreciate that. Thank you Sir.
I know a cobbler, I’ll make sure that he knows about your channel I’m sure that he’ll appreciate your channel too.
Again thank you sir.
Absolutely good good!!!
Bravo, Don't stop! By far you gents wrapped up and demostrated everthing under 30 minutes.
This gentleman works beautifully with his hands. He has nice hands as well. Fascinating to watch! 😊
The workmanship, patience, and technical precision is wonderful to watch!!
16:00 The perfect use of an original set of safety squints.
Well done. 👍👍
Footwear is often cheap and replaceable these days, nothing special, but you make footwear GLORIOUS!! 🌷🌷
Seeing you how profesionally you repaired those shoes I did remember my dad who passed away last year. He worked on shoes since I did born, thanks for this video.
As a cobbler myself I can honestly say that’s one of the best restorations I have seen well done keep up the great work
such a relief with no talking
Wow, those shoes are built like tanks. They remind me of my dad's dress shoes for church. Always bright and shiny Sunday morning.
It’s amazing how much detail they put into the BOTTOM of the shoe that nobody will even see!
❤ to watch and listen to the sounds of cobbling .👁👂 Very soothing . Now if we could only get to experience the wonderful aromas of the shop that go along with it as well.👃
These are the kind of shoes that deserve to get passed down through a family. Truly a work of passion, love, and devotion to your craft. Well done, gentlemen!
I’ll never forget my 4 th grade teacher in the early 60s wore a pair exactly the same!!! Funny things you remember as a kid!!! 67 now!!!!
That is a tremendous amount of work. My favorite part was the melting in of the cork. Who knew that was such a thing. That process probably cost more than the shoes did originally, and built better than they were originally. Strong hands, patient heart, affinity for perfection.
Wow very nice. I sure wish I could afford getting my cowboy boots repaired by this guy.
Back in my "before California" days I used to wear Florsheim Imperials six days a week to the office and church. I had blacks, brouns and oxbloods. My favorites were the oxbloods.
I own a pair of these Florsheim and they are some of the BEST CONSTRUCTED SHOES EVER MADE.
Nice touch with the brush strokes on the sole. Good to see Forest helping and learning too.
Those heals will never wear out.
Probably not
This pair looked like it was exhausted from all of its adventures, and by the end, reinvigorated to carry on and have many more!
This literally put me to sleep Saturday morning for about two hours. Still haven't watched it all. But I will!
Thanks to these skills that we are seeing more and more with craftsmanship being credited for their work. I believe restoration is the best remedy for old footwear
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Almost 40 years ago my father bought me my first high quality shoes - a pair of black Florsheim Imperials just like these. I wore them to my graduation, job interviews, first day of my career, and they lasted for years. Resoled them twice before they died. A sweet memory, as my dad is in end-stage dementia, and we’ll lose him soon. 🙏🏼
Amazing work, you have all the right equipment, but working with your hands is perfect.
Totally different feel to the video. Only one problem, I was watching after a 500 mile drive, I fell asleep twice!
That is craftmanship. Wow.
It shows that you can give an old pair of shoes new life.
Великолепная работа 👍
Got myself tucked under a blanket and feelin real cozy with this video
The heel job was fantastic
Fascinating. When you were disassembling the shoe I forgot I wasn’t watching the Idaho farriery, similar techniques there (almost). Real artistry.
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. Customer must be pleased with the results: shoes look amazing.
Love the music, good choice to go along with the repairs. Great job as always guys!
Really enjoyed the ASMR - gorgeous craftsmanship
Am a fan of hearing your narration of the videos. I can put subtitles on if I want text. If I want music then I can mute the audio; put subtitles on and listen to some music. I understand that experimentation is fine but I feel your cobbler narration is the best for me.
I was a sneaker head before. But when I saw this. Made me shift into leather shoes. Love your work as always! 🙏🙏🙏
Hard to put into words a craftsman .
Love a first class restoration like this. Really like the ASMR format. Would love to see the same type of restoration and same ASMR format, with a fancy pair of cowboy boots
It's a great way to do it, effort will not betray the results 👍
Every pair of these old Florsheim Imperials is a national treasure. I have a pair of 93602's (brown) and a pair of 92604's (black) that I plan on having for the rest of my life. I'll never get tired of watching them be brought back to life. Great work!
Trenton and Heath-Fantastic video! Great work, as usual. I enjoyed the format of the video. Very informative, but relaxing. You always go the extra mile.
Such labour-intensive work to renovate those gentlemen's classic shoes!
Once again amazed by the complexity of shoes, and also your knowledge and talent in resoling and caring for these fine shoes. Thank you for posting. That was very satisfying to watch.
