COLE HAAN Dress Sneaker Makeover | A NEW LOOK for these Shoes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- In this video, we give this pair of Cole Haan dress sneakers a bit of a makeover. Many shoes, such as these, aren't necessarily meant to be resoled, but with a little creativity, it's possible. The owner is a family friend and former Air Force flyer. He's also a big Alabama Crimson Tide fan. We incorporated a bit of this into the shoe. Well, another restoration is complete! Time for another one!

Classy!
Changing from that cheezy, ribbed sole to that multicolored crepe sole with the clean edges looks great!
Excellent job, sirs! Happy weekend! 🤙👞
Thank you very much!
After watching a lot of shoe repair videos the last two weeks it really has me thinking shoe repairs might be the most underappreciated and underutilized profession in the 20'th century. Everybody likes nice shoes, but almost nobody will think of giving their old shoes a new life over buying a new pair. Which makes me wonder why you guys haven't made your own line of shoes. Everybody is looking for new shoes, but not everybody is looking to repair old ones. It's like the chicken and the egg, if people land on your store when searching for quality shoes they'll also discover they can send them back in for refurbishment
Question for you Richard. How much would you pay for a pair of bespoke handmade shoes? They are out there, but they usually cost between $3,000 and $4,000,.
My guess for the reason these guys don't make their own shoes is the same reason even the world's best mechanics don't start making their own cars. Because while it could be done, there are not a lot of people lining to spend that kind of money.
Nice clean transformation. And, tell that boy: "Conditioner and Shoe Trees."
👍
Honestly, the new soles looks much better than the old ones. That's a dress sneaker I would gladly wear anytime
Good video - I dont really wear sneakers but funny enough I’ve been thinking about getting a pair like this lately. Your version looks much better than the original - great job.
Thank you very much!
These gentlemen are like the "This Old House" of the Shoe world! Wonderful content and work guys!
Great way to start my Saturday!
Thank you!
Very nice twist on this pair of shoes. They look very comfortable also. Thanks for sharing your work.
Thank you!
Love the contrasting colors on the soles. Roll Tide indeed!
Thank you
Looks great, what you two have done with these is so much better than the originals. Great job guys!!
Thank you very much
You guys are truthful. That’s good for the shoe repair industry. Much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Nick
Thanks! We try to be as informative and upfront as possible with everyone.
Don’t know if you know who I am. I’m Nick V from B Nelson Shoe in NYC. I’ve always posted against the shops that do lousy work and rip-off the public thinking they are fools. Those shops are bad for the shoe repair industry. You guys are honest and good for the industry.
Godspeed to you!!!!
I don’t know what it is that makes this sort of “rags to riches” resole so satisfying, but something about turning mediocre build quality old shoe into a a higher quality version of itself makes my heart smile. I’ve watched this video like 5 times now lol
Very nice! They are so much better looking after you guys worked your magic!
Thank you, Sue
Love this video. They always look so much better when you guys get done.
Thank you!
So funny, i own these exact shoes, after hours of wearing them they got scuffed up, throwing ball with my son, Im just glad they can be polished even! Thankyou!!
Thank you for this video. I have a matching pair I ruined by sanding some gouges and now it is blotchy and darker. I am now inspired to see if I can strip them with reno mat and rebuild them lol.
I have a pair of Clarks that I love and I happily would pay for resolving them when the time comes, plus is better for the environment. Great video
Thank you!
The before I wouldn't buy at all but the after are pretty damn sharp! I'd definitely buy them.
Its the Mullet hair shoe! Business on the upper, party on the sole🤣🤣🤣
😁😁
I love watching your videos. Your professionalism blows me away.
I have a favorite pair that I've taken pretty good care of that I'd like to have y'all work your magic on.
Thanks again for another super video.
Who knew shoe repair could look so good 😍
Love it whenever Heath says “oun” 9:05
Glad you guys are back at it again. I really enjoy these vids on Saturday morning.
Thank you
Turned out great guys!!!
Thank you
Fantastic after product. Actually, much better than the original 😁
Guys, as probably along with so many -- I usually don't comment; I've watched and enjoyed many, many of your vids. I must say I admire what you do and "how" you do it. It's always equivalent product or better with a result that is unbelievable. Keep at it and all the best! Be Safe
Also, that is one very well loved container of saddle soap.
Стекло ,кафель ,дерево ,резину ,тоже хорошо чистит
Thank you for sharing your work. I enjoyed watching the transformation. You did make them look so much better, stay safe.
I have those same shoes!!! I called Cole Hann and asked if they resoled these type and they said that they don’t. Glad to see it CAN BE done. Thanks
I have that exact pair of shoes, they were a gift and I want them to last as long as possible. They're really comfy and I use them at any formal-ish event I go to. When they wear down I'm probably gonna have them remade like this or with a margom cupsole. Amazing work as always guys, I love the splash of color on the midsole
Thank you!
What an improvement over the original. They look so comfortable.
I love your creative way to do the best to this pair if shoes. I‘m not into sneakers, but now they look awesome. Thank you your videos, appreciated as always, best wishes from Germany
Thank you very much!
Again, fantastic and informative! I have a request though, after watching a plethora of your videos I would love ( if you don't have one I missed) a video on your hand tools and machinery that you use and why. Including which has hand alternative's if you're not doing this for a living (yett,lol) . Keep em coming and thanks for giving me a new respect and awe for quality shoes and the work they deserve!
Really appreciated the honesty that the resole is *probably* not worth the cost in this case, but that it's still a personal decision. I like the realism.
Thank you
Great video. Glad to see you posting videos again. What a nice touch of putting the Alabama crimson color. Have a great weekend gentlemen.
Thank you! We always appreciate you watching. Have a great weekend as well.
Those shoes look great. Good job. I'd love a pair of those.
Wow!!! I would rock those, Great Job yall!
Oh, man! That looks so much better!!! Nicely done! 👍
Thank you!
Massive improvement on the original soles guys!
They're beautiful now!
I’m glad the new shop has a fume hood. We all want to see you fellas making videos for a long time. Excellent work as always.
Thank you very much!
Great job! You gentlemen are true artisans. I wish you were my local shoe repair shop. There is only one repairman in my town and he is very picky about what he wants to fix.
Thank you!
Very nice!!
Nice makeover! This are a saweeeet lookin' pair of shoes.
Just found your channel, really enjoy the craftsmanship... also you may know this but Heath sounds just like Peyton Manning. Living in Tennessee I'm sure he's heard that... a lot... Keep it up and thanks guys...
Great work fellas. Gotta say i like the longer, more in depth videos though!! Keep up the great work!!
I love the sound when you are cutting the sole
Those turned out great. Very creative with the red and as always I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one
Thank you so much!
This video reminded me of that old 60's movie about the rebellious cobbler who wound up on the deep south chain gang - "Cole Haan Luke." Maybe you've seen it... Seriously though, WHO dislikes this video?! Some people evidently just have a sour disposition. I give you guys thumbs up!
😁😁 Great movie!! We appreciate you watching.
Sweet looking shoes!
Good morning guys . After watching this video it made me wonder if you could take a regular pair of shoes and convert them to a sneaker and in the case of these sneakers since they are a nice looking wing tip if you could have made them into an actual shoe with a leather sole and heel ? The finished product looks great BTW . It always amazes me what a little conditioning and polish can do. Have a great weekend.
Thank you very much. How about cut and pasting your question and sending it to customerservice@potterandsons.com. Have a great weekend.
It looks good
Awesome job look cool 😎
Thanks
They look Fantastic!
Thank you!
@@TrentonHeath You are very welcome!
When I just think to buy a pair as daily cheap wear, thanks guys
Looks great. Ty 👍👍👍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍👍👍
Thank you
Really nice!
Thanks
I don't understand why I watch this channel. I can't afford shoes. I can barely afford sneakers. But watching these men do their job is so nice.
Well they are easy to re-sole now!
Awesome video guys. I’ve missed the videos the last couple weeks!
Thank you! We always appreciate you watching.
Love your videos and craftsmenship! I'm not sure if you guys have tried this but when it comes to box cutter blades, Tajima is pretty good. It is what my carps love to use. Hope that helps and love to get your opinion on them. Looking forward to move vids!
Really like how those came out 👍🏽
Thank you
Roll tide!
beautiful!!!
excellent work
Thank you
Great job guys 👏👏👏👏👍😎
Thank you
Great work, guys ! But am happy when i could get for firesale a pair of 200-250 bucks shoes for 50 new....that's good enough for me.
I love the sound of these videos…
Anybody else?
they look great!!
Thank you!
Great job guys
Thanks!
Any chance of a walk through on the machine yall use ? A little background history on them would be cool.
Most people don't even understand that Cole Haan designed the Lunar series outsole for Nike.
If you want a crepe/wood/leather sole for a pair of Cole Haan shoes, buy them.
But for anyone hating on this style, know that he created that outsole for Nike and carried it over to his own shoes after a business split
Have you ever worked with fabric shoes? I just wondering if you could extend their lifetime by replacing parts of the sole with a leather sole as well as stitch down the white strip glued to the uppers.
Did a Blake stitch to keep him coming back! Great job guys!
Thank you
These look so much better than the original manufacturer's version. For me it's like spending "too much" on a hot rod build... It ain't the same shoe anymore. It's custom. The uppers are just the base of a project, so from that perspective it's worth it.
Thank you
I had a pair of leather timberland shoes that I wore to work every day for years until they literally fell off my feet. They were only $70.00 shoes or less. It was a style they no longer make. If I had known back then, I would have paid 4 or 5 hundred dollars to resole these shoes with no problem. I really miss those shoes.
Much better.
I'd love to see some eccos.
Acabo de compara esos zapatos de segunda mano con la intención de restaurarlos, este video me ayudará mucho. Saludos.
Cool video as per usual
Thank you very much!
Any thoughts on Church’s boots? I have a pair of Mc Farlane brogue boots in Ebony that I truly love. Would really like to see what they are like inside and get your evaluation on Church’s quality.
Breakfast and Trenton and Heath? Best way to wake up!
Thanks, Jay!
Fantastic work as always guys! The plastic sole though is something hard to swallow, but that's just me.
Thank you. The sole is actually rubber.
@@TrentonHeath Soory 4 my bad English. The only thing rubber I accept in shoes are protective rubber soles. I do know though that I am kind of a dying-out breed nowadays.
Your sole give the shoe a better silhouette. Cleaner
I just discovered you guys yesterday, great videos. I saw the timberlands restoration. Man i didn’t even know those could be refurbished. I trying to decide on a new pair of boots. I am looking a dr martens, tims, ll bean, and now some allen edmuds because of yalls videos. Any insight would be helpful. Really considering the 3 hr drive fr9m down here in se TN to the ae store at green hills for the custom build.
Excellent work! What would be the cost for what you did.? That was a lot of work
Your redo looks better than the original.
Thanks
That's the point
I would like my cole hann sole built with a special leather sole and bottom. The upper is suede
I just found your channel and really like it, can you guys do a vid about making shoes/boots from scratch?? cause i think that would be really interesting.
Welcome to the T&H Community, John. Many of us have been here for years, and we love it. Trenton and Heath are not only amazing artisans, they’re great guys. Enjoy the channel!
@@anthonygardner400 thanks I'm not even sure how I got here tbh never really looked at shoes of any kind least of all repearing leather ones lol
@@johnh290 lol. Well, if you watch a few of their videos on how to not only repair shies, but care for your own, you’ll be hooked. Your leather shoes will never be unconditioned, without shine, or possessing worn out soles again! Lol.
It’s in the works.
The original soles didn't look to be that worn. Why were they replaced?
Curious to hear your thoughts on the leather quality. I have a pair and they are so light and the leather feels thin. But they hold up fantastically. Maybe I just think it feels thin because they are so light?
You gentlemen always look very dapper . Nice RL shirt ..lol. No I’m not gay haha .. Those shoes came up brilliantly 👍
Thank you, Andy!
The original outsole looks like Nike’s Lunarlon soles.
Well done guys! Would have like to see the sole color process though
Thank you
If i was redoing them i would've chose a darker colored sole. The white sole looks gawdy and is a chore to clean
11 mins video passes like 3 mins video. How do you do it? 😆
Another interesting resole! Those tiny details are making big difference 👌
Thank you very much, Michael.
Hola! Something I don’t understand, how does conditIoner penetrate leather sealer? I had assumed that the sealer was a synthetic bearer.
Excelente trabalho grande abraço daqui de Portugal
Mucho gracious
Would have been really good to see how you handled it when the machine screwed up the stitch while attaching the mid-sole. It's always fun to watch how a mishap gets corrected.
What kind of boot would you recommend for asphalt work. It consists of almost 400 degree and diesel
