Not all cobblers are created equal. Such reality means some are going to badly botch a pair of shoes. Fortunately, there are great shoe repair professionals such as our man Steve at Bedo's Leatherworks in Virginia who turn their craft into artwork. Watch a master work his magic on this pair of screwed-up Aldens.
Oh, and yes, ladies, he performs the same miracles on women's handbags and shoes.

It’s a cool video and this guy obviously knows what he is doing. I think I will just stick with my Crocs and socks.
I read about Bedo a year or so ago in the Washington Post or maybe the Wall St Journal. I sent him my 30 year old Justin cowboy boots last month for reconditoning last month. They are due back to me next week. My wife says I am nuts to spend $340 for this, but these are the most comfortable of my four pair. She is probably right as she always is.
My attention span for video is usually under 2 minutes, but I watched this in it's entirety. Fascinating and a little mesmerizing.
JJ has obsessed over shoe shines and manly footwear for several years now. The term 'clinical' comes to mind.
Only one busted and bruised fingernail. Impressive. Lawyers all across the South are comparing their shoes just prior to the beginning of the deposition.
Obsess? Nope. Truth is you guys read them. It surprised me how much traffic they get and a few emails too thanking me for the posts. So if it's what you guys like to read, I provide it. It's an interesting subject as well. Can't real balance sheets and lawsuits all day, you know.
Wonder what you would say if I put up a bunch of gun posts.
It would not be the first time you had 'put up a bunch of gun posts'. I remember all of the ammo posts in which you pretended to be an expert on firearms and caliber info.
I'll hang with the blog until you start running stories and photos about men in dresses and heels on modeling runways.
oh really? Where are they?
