Shoe restoration

[Boab]

Following on from another thread where somebody asked if it was worth paying out for expensive shoes I stumbled across this thread on a different forum. I think it speaks for itself when you see what can be done to resurrect a pair of old shoes which most people would throw in the bin.

It is also great to see the techniques these craftsmen use.

Thanks for posting this. Amazing what skill combined with a set of appropriate tools can do.

Sadly, such craftsmen are all but gone. Fantastic to see.
