I Love A Hot Bear Cobbler

He'll even restore your worn out Gucci bags.

A hot bear cobbler, fresh out of the oven, served with vanilla ice cream....

Dear Lord in Heaven!

Okay, why do I find this so fascinating? I feel the need to contact Hot Bear Cobbler - I have a terrible (nearly impossible) time finding shoes for my feet... I've got 13B feet.

I wonder if someone will forward this video to Tom Ford...

I have 13 EEEE feet, so I feel your pain, R4

Is it true R4 and R5? Is it? You know, what they say? Huh?

Not cute, but at least he's not a fat one.

He's the Bob Ross of cobblers.

Oh, R6... since I wouldn't do a towel dance in the gym locker room, you'd find out!

Allen Edmonds

OK when you mentioned Bear Cobblers, this is what came to mind for me.

Is his channel name really A Hot Bear Cobbler?

Mother of Pearl

Steve has a pronounced tremor in both hands that he's spoken about before. It's amazing he can do such high quality work.

I would smear a little shoe polish on his no no and see how it goes from there

I love a hot apple cobbler.

Tom Fords

......

Soon Miss Ford is a rip off artist. This is why we don't patronize homosexual businesses.

So..

He's plenty cute and he has nice hands.

Guy at work looks like him and I so want to bounce up and down on his cock.

He's not very attractive, OP, although at least he's not fat.

So after watching the shoe repair videos and being reminded yet again that brand names are bullshit, what shoe brand would some of you recommend? Allen Edmunds? Johnston & Murphy? Ecco? Bostonian?

I've got 13 B feet - finding something to fit is almost impossible. I recently saw a website named "undandy" and supposedly I can send them information and they will create a pair of shoes for me and ship them. All for $200 or more. Sort of sounds like a bargain and a godsend.

Steve Doudaklian is an Armenian immigrant who came here in 1977 (at the age of 10) with his family from Beirut, Lebanon. His father Bedros started the business in that year. Steve took over in 1991. He enjoys smoking a hookah.

I love listening to Steve narrate his videos. He has a very soothing voice.

His work definitely comes at a price. He repaired a leather purse in one video and revealed the cost of the repair was over $1000.00. Pricey, but I guess it's better than spending 3 times that to buy a brand new one when he can make the old one even better than a brand new one.

I wish he would have done a video when he repaired some guy's leather bikini.

THANKS FOR POSTING! i love stuff like this. Totally intriguing....

We might like to 'smoke' Steve's hookah!

I wonder if Brits find this thread amusing.

I'm not crazy about bear cobbler. I prefer peach.

Bump

I actually thought a hot bear cobbler would be like a peach cobbler, except the filling would be hot bear meat.

R21 You are a self loathing cunt and a bore. You should be banished to the same hole Miss Tybee was sent to.....OUCH!

“The customer requested purple bottoms.”

Mary!

The name of his YouTube channel (and shop) is Bedo's Leatherworks LLC. The videos are soothing. His shop is in Falls Church, Virginia.

Steve showed some photos of himself (and his family) when he was younger. He was handsome, like a young Robert DeNiro. Steve wears outdated eyeglasses and doesn't do much to make himself attractive. But if he wanted to, he could clean up. IMO.

Here's a thumbnail that shows his face.

His shop is 2 blocks away from my house. They are known for doing good work, but are ridiculously expensive - to the point that it’s often cheaper to just buy new shoes or leather goods. He’s also a GUN NUT, selling guns and ammo from his repair shop, so watch out!

Actually Bedo's Leatherworks does not sell guns. The gun sales shop leases the space above Bedo's shoe store. He was leasing it to a guy who ran "The Gun Dude" but he went out of business. A shop called NOVA Firearms took over The Gun Dude's lease back in 2017.

So he exposed Tom Ford's shoes as cheap.

Steve dyes and re-soles an expensive pair of men's Ferragamo shoes. Shockingly the original soles on these shoes, that probably cost $1000.00 or more, were just GLUED ON! Ferragamo find out about this should be ashamed of the shitty craftsmanship of these shoes. But Steve turns these shoes into what they should have been originally.

You can't go wrong with a purple bottom.

Now I'm curious, which high-end labels are actually high-quality?

He’s the Billy Joel of shoe repair.

If you want nice expensive shoes try this guy.

Bring me your shoes, I'm the Cobbler Man!

Steve is very sexy when he smokes his hookah.

He's a "bear" simply because he has a full beard.

He's "sexy" simply because he is heterosexual.

Only on Datalounge.

No, he's sexy because he's sexy. Whether he's straight, gay, or bi, he's still sexy. What are you, some kind of super queer who can't stand gays considering a straight man sexy?

Wow. Those Tom Ford’s are a piece of shit. It’s fake stitching? Are all of his shoes that way? I don’t own any.

He’s very sexy, and he can pound my underside whenever he likes.

This guy compares shoes from Allen Edmonds, Carmina, Gaziano & Girling, and Edward Green. The AE is very good, but the difference between it and the Carmina is significant, while the price differential is not. If you're loaded, of course the others are even nicer.

Tom Ford must go home every night and laugh at the dumb asses who shelled out $2500 that day for some of his shitty made shoes.

He is located in Falls Church City right on Broad Street. There's a sign outside saying a piercing parlor is opening there. Is he just renting space or selling?

He rents the upstairs suites. One is rented to a shop that sells firearms, and the other is going to be a Tattoo & Piercing parlor.

Steve reworks 2 pairs of relatively new and expensive Italian made shoes that were already falling apart. More glued on soles.

Damn, that customer sent those shoes all the way from Dubai.

I've considered mailing shoes for him to resole. I think you have to be willing to wait for a while. He says he's behind on work.

Steve does his magic on a 30+ year old Louis Vuitton Bucket Bag that had been beat to hell and back. It's a long video (1:19) but worth it. Plus there's a reaction video at the end from the customer when she receives the reworked bag.

He's definitely not cheap. This job cost $1200.00.

Fancy shoes and he says that he knows that you have been making comments about his ass.

R65 that is astonishing what he did with that bag considering the state it was in. It’s better than new. I think she got a good deal. The video is kind of calming too!

His property must be worth at least $5-6 million with all the obscene development in Falls Church City. His shop is literally like a single family house between two huge develoments. I drove past it last week. I am going to take two pairs of shoes to him next week.

I wish I could live in Falls Church City...so much better than the cesspool that is Washington, DC. If this bear lived in DC, his shop would be broken into and ransacked on a weekly basis so I'm glad his sexy ass is safe so he can fix and improve LV and Louboutin!

He has beautiful hands.

......

Why repair a shitty pair of shoes? Is this Wyoming circa 1899? Buy a new pair.

I'!m curious to know why he painted the soles rather than stain them. Will the paint not wear-off quickly?

I THINK I saw him at Harris Teeter on Broad Street at like 8 pm one night when I was in DC for training. I was staying in Tysons Corner Ritz but I went shopping in the area near where his store is located. I had a rented car and it wasn't that far, just down on Route 7. He's soooo fucking hot and his hands were beautiful. He was picking out Granny Smith Apples. He went to the bar in Harris Teeter for one beer (yes, I was watching) when someone asked him to grab a drink. I could only linger for so long without getting in trouble (I felt like staff were watching me lingering?). I still find it weird that grocery stores have bars.

I did order a pizza from the Harris Teeter pizza area that gave me another 10 - 15 minutes to watch him (the pizza area is very near the bar at the Harris Teeter grocery store on Broad Street). The pizza was actually really good but I really wish I had had the nerve to talk to him. I didn't know about him before reading this DL thread but knew he was in the area that I had to go to training and realized he's so hot... I'm also pretty sure I saw Sandra Bullock and her two children shopping at around 8:45 pm at that same Harris Teeter with a very handsome tall white guy and another white woman trailing behind her. The person I thought was Sandra was wearing huge sunglasses with really healthy, thick hair and had two really courteous, well-behaved children with her. My friend who lives in Lyon Village in Arlington said that he thought he saw her the day before at the Italian Store (he was at the Starbucks next door to the Italian Store), so pretty sure it was her. This was pre-Covid earlier in the year. The HT started playing the Maroon 5 "Sugar" song and she said "I love this song!"

Who cares. This Bear Cobbler is hot AF. Would love to have a chance with him.

Ewwww, most bears are tranny chasers. Pass.

Ewwww, most bears are tranny chasers. Pass.

We saw the video, saw the work. $400 seems not expensive for what he did. Glad he stated a price. Gives an idea of the price of quality work.
