Good afternoon, guys and welcome back to another video here in Pakistan
specifically in Islamabad. As you can tell, it's the evening time here during
the prayer call and in today's video guys, we're actually gonna take you
with us to get a full on shoe repair and shoe cleaning. So I wanted to get the
true local process so we found the perfect guys to take us through this
entire process. Right over here we're gonna do it. So to get both of these
done to have them fix, 150 per shoe? Both alright, and how long will it take?
[Speaking in Urdu]. Next. Oh perfect. Shukria [Thank you]
my friends. Alright, we're gonna do it guys. We're gonna get set up with a nice
shoe shine here, so the process with this show repair slash shoe shine, we've gotta
take these off and then we're gonna go ahead and slide our feet right into here.
Oh, those are some fresh looking ones maybe I’ll just leave these back and
take these with me. Comment below if you guys agree and we've got that one off.
We’re gonna slide that one in just like that and there we go. So you can see
these ones need a full repair there, a full repair there and then they're
probably gonna need a solid cleaning on top. So we can do a- a cleaning too
like a shoe shine on them too boss? like a--
Shukriya [Thank you].
And we can do a shoe on there too?
Shukriya [Thank you]
And what's your good name? Zain. Mac. Abdullah.
Abdullah, great names. Nice to meet you both. Oh perfect. We’ve got a seat here
too and here so step number one he took the little tool there and this one's
used for cutting? Yes. So they're taking the- the white string
there. And
so that's some sort of like rock to sharpen it.
Wow. So that's actually just taking like a
normal piece of yarn here and it must be smoothing out some of the
pieces there. What is this unit for?
You probably toss quite a few shoes on there and really fit them around the
foot there. You guys are getting a repair over here? Yes. Oh nice. How do they fit?
Alright, so as you can see here looks like we're popping the tool directly
into the side of the shoe. Oh, oh we're straight up threading it, you
see that guys. Threading right inside of there and it's basically gonna be
stitched all the way around and that's gonna hold the whole shoe together. So
actually, they're gonna be a whole new style here now guys because you can see
how we have the string holding them together. This is great because I’ve
actually had a couple pairs of these shoes but every time I’ve returned home
I really like the style so I had to buy a new pair but now that I know that I
get these things repaired like this and they're gonna be looking better than
ever, I’m quite happy with that. How's Harry's shoes looking? You might need a
repair too bro. Definitely need to clean, that's for sure. Yeah definitely gonna
need a cleaning and while you can see how fast he's going. He's already halfway
around there probably a third the way around it. Oh and actually, we're going
two at a time here. We've got the other shoe so we've got the team here and he's
doing basically over here the same thing where he's stitching the inside there.
And you can see the grip there. And what are these tools for?
That’s some sort of like piece to puncture it and then these are all like
little pieces, you can go ahead and just stick right on through there. Very nice
and he's using his toe right there to hold tightly onto the shoe.
These things are gonna be looking very nice. Shukria [Thank you] my friend.
So we've got the full station guys. You can do repair here you can even it looks
like the brush over there. That's how you probably polish them clean so we'll have
them do that at the end and that'll be looking quite nice. We got the hair man
worn out over here. It’s been a long day. Yeah, yeah so we've
even got this thing's for polishing? Yeah, very nice. So that'll clean off some
of those like darker spots on there. Guys these shoes are gonna be looking like
brand spanking new shoes so I’m very excited for that because like I said,
they're my favorite type. So guys, we're getting the price for about 150
Pakistani rupees which comes out to literally like one US dollar and that's
both of them literally stitching the entire thing, cleaning it as well. It's a
full-on experience here and they gave us an honest price which means they're
gonna get a good reward. Wait for it, keep watching the video till the end so you
can see. We've got the spectators over here. And what's your good name? Yeah my
name is Saleem. Saleem, that's a great name. Yes. Yeah, good English too. No English. Oh
good English. Theek hai [Good] English.
Yeah. No your English- your English is theek hai [Good]. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah your names? My
name is Riaz Khan. Good name too. Yeah, yeah and your name? Kabar Khan.
Yeah nice name too. Funny name, Kabar Khan. Good name.
You know actually guys I gotta give the credit to Harry because he's taught me a
fair amount of the Urdu this trip. I’ve basically got-
His background check this out. My background as some
Urdu words. Yeah, we've got the aap kesi hain? [How are you?] We've got shukria yaar [Thank you, friend],
sab theek hai. Sab theek hai [Everything is good]. Yeah, everything's alright.
Yeah Sub Theek hai [Good]. Yeah, these are looking nice in sab theek hai [Everything is good]
Yeah exactly. And you guys gotta watch out where
you're getting your stuff taken care of here. We've got cars coming through. You
can lose your ankles pretty easily. I’ll tell you that so watch your step when
you're getting the cleaning. As you can see the gentlemen are making good
progress. They're already around to the other side here so the threading is
actually all along it and it's spinning around. Actually, it's gonna be a race
to see which one of the gentlemen have finished at first.
They’re up to something over there. You can tell, they're up to something.
Exactly. Yaar [Buddy]
Drop a comment with what he is saying.
Okay, very nice.
Seems like they are teasing Harry.
Alright, and we're almost all the way around.
Which one do you think's gonna be done first? Yeah but as you can see, they both
got them gripped tightly between their toes. Oh and that's how he uses the
scissors. And Harry's guess was right. Our man
right here was the one to finish it first. So now next step is to do the
polishing. So we're dipping it right into this
bucket. We're doing a proper cleaning. Oh and that must be the white powder that
gets the dirt off there maybe a little bleach in there. Actually, a maximum
bright so that must mean there's some bleach in there because it looks like
what you might use in a wash. It's quite enjoyable to watch that because you know
these things were quite dirty. I didn't know if they had any life left in them
and these are gonna be looking like they're fresh off the shop floor
now that I know you can get them this clean. Oh and we got number two done.
Shukria [Thank you] my friend. That is looking quite, quite good.
Nice and clean. So we've got that one looking nice
and now we're doing the drying process over here. So the drying process means
he's basically turning the muddy wetness into a bit more of a shine on there.
Isn’t it? I know literally brand new bro.
This is like a very, very thorough process going over here. We're pulling
out the threads.
Oh now, we're putting the laces back through. I was hoping to try out using
these scissors like look at these things, they're like full on snippers and you
got like all these different tools that go into it, many different yards
depending on the type of shoe and a strong brush. These things are the
cool ones though because that's what pokes the hole right in between
and this one's coming along clean over here. And what is this thing for?
Whoa, that looks like that could do some
damage to a good pair of shoes. That could probably go through a pair of
boots. Another one done.
Perfect. Another shoe clean. Guys this is such an
interesting process to see how much like work actually goes into
fully repairing them then on top of that making them spick and span clean. As you
can see, they're looking quite nice. Oh we're doing the laces over here too and
those laces guys, I don't know if you remember what the shoe looked like but
those things were nice and brown so like to have them that clean again. It's going
to be a really incredible process. I can't say the water is necessarily going
to be the cleanest but I can tell you they're going to look very clean.
Probably not the water you'd wanna be drinking but as you can see, those laces
are already looking much better and that's how he rings them out, gets all
the water out. Very efficient process for that. There we go. We're gonna get all
the dirtiness out of them and you can already see they're much cleaner than
they were before, that's for sure. Wow, just look at this guys.
Wow, wow, wow, wow. I am just blown away by how much life these shoes actually still
have left in them versus I thought they were pretty close to the end of their
life. So as you can see, we even have bundles of sticks we have other shoelace
options there. Hey bro, Salaam Alaikum yaar [Peace be upon you, friend].
Which is the name of your YouTube channel? Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you].

guys are spectating. They're watching. Yeah, a good laugh. So back to the
process over here guys. Wow, we've got this thing done. It is looking brand
spanking new, next we gotta get a thumbnail.
That is looking absolutely fantastic and we've got the last lace going on on that
shoe but look at this. These are like literally almost like brand new compared
to what they look like before. They were like black.
I’m like- are you blown away bro? Like these things were, I thought these shoes
the like the life of them was totally done and now that I’m seeing them.
Yeah exactly. Yeah, yeah and guys literally one dollar
to do this. One dollar to like have these as pretty much a brand new pair of shoes.
Okay. So, they're done yeah. Perfect, perfect. Thank you very much and
how much? 300. 300 for the full process. Alright,
let me try them on here. Let's try them on guys and see how
they feel. Oh yeah, they're a little wet from the cleaning.
Yeah, get them ready. Oh yeah.
Yeah. That’s good. We're feeling quite good.
Nice. That is looking absolutely fantastic.
Oh baby, they're fitting like they're brand new. Literally like
they're brand new bro and we're balancing on one foot. As you guys can
see here, it's a bit of a talent.
And perfect. so 300?

No change, no change, no change. Shukria yaar [Thank you, friend]
I guess they could do mine included in your price.
Yeah Harry's looking for the bogo deal. So guys I am feeling great here. We just
got the shoes clean and as you can see, they are looking quite nice, fresh and
clean and as always, I reward the honest people which include our shoe cleaner
guys who are working hard. They put so much time and effort. Salaam Alaikum [Peace be upon you]
my friends. They put so much time and effort like guys
we were there for almost 30 minutes while they were making these shoes look
perfect again. Yeah, you know probably made their day. In certain instances, I
love to reward the hard-working people that are doing what they need to- to put
their food on the table and still as a tourist giving me a very true and honest
price. So hope you guys enjoyed that process, a little bit short of a video
but I wanted to give you the full overview of what it is like to get your
