30 YEAR OLD TIMBERLAND BOOTS RESTORED! // Nubuck boots upcycled

Today we had a crazy job with these 30 year old timberland boots in for a full re-build and restoration. We restored the lot from new vibram soles to reconditioning the nubuck, and for being so old they came out great!

Hi I am a housewife and I live in Guadalajara México ( city of tequila) I find your videos so relaxing, my English is not so good but I understand every word ( most of them) you said. 🤗

This guy is younger than those boots. But still he is the one who makes this profession as art, and make it sure to survive for decades. (I don't know how the hell I got to this channel, but I sacrificed 4 hours to this artist.) Keep on, man!

[@philbobagbox1177]

I’m on my third pair. I honestly didn’t know you could restore things like this. Great to watch as always.

[@twocansams6335]

Thing is you don't know what you will get back at some random cobbler, you might regret it and should have just bought a new pair. This guy does his advertising on youtube, shows his quality of work and knowledge.

[@And-zo8jn]

Also it would cost as much as a new pair almost. So that the reason why people mostly do full repairs on quality boots and not cheap ones

[@TheNunakun]

Any good cobbler will be able to upgrade your shoe better than factory, so it's a no-brainer. And you can customize sole colors, types, etc.

[@obscurazone]

@@And-zo8jn I would get quality boots repaired every single time over new replacements. Boots that are worn in fit you like a glove, and have a beautiful patina. New boots/shoes take years to properly break in and become "yours". Plus, why replace them anyway when they can be serviced and last many more years!

[@JayRamboe]

@@twocansams6335 very true. I had a local guy resole my moc toe redwings and he ruined them

[@Blue_Eyed_Georgia_Peach_]

Cobblering is becoming a lost art and I love watching you bring UGLY shoes back to life. Those super detailed soles you put on are amazing. 👍🏼

[@tomtack2611]

I need a cobbler of this man's incredible skill to repair my comfy worn in nubuck timbs. I've got three pairs that the outsole has detached at the toe. My timbs cost me 120 US twenty years ago, I'd pay that amount again to get them restored because as anybody familiar with work boots knows, once they're broken in you've got some happy feet.

[@tonymonastiere8510]

Always nice to watch a craftsman restoring what once was. Good lessons for all to learn from. Thnx Dan!

[@geofffikar3417]

@@geofffikar3417 I heard even Demonias are bad now since they switched to being made in china, so it's possible.

Same lol. I have some that are 20 years old. Got them when I started working at timberland when I was 15. First shoes I got from them. Now I need to restore them. Too good to throw out.

Dude I just found this channel and subscribed like 2 days ago.... your videos are really realy ace man. I've been trying to be more like my grandfather where when I buy something I take care of it so it lasts forever and your work is just unbelievable and reminds me of him and his generation so much.

[@Ample17]

The environment thanks you. There really is a lot that can be done if we just live more conscious. Repair, maintain and think about what we really need and what just takes space and gets thrown away later.

[@billyclemens]

Awesome job Dan. That leather midsole is going to make an incredible difference in the fit and feel of the boots. Well done mate.

By far the most satisfying part of these videos is his passion for his work. Wish I felt that way about my day job!

[@peterjf7723]

That was a pleasure to watch. I have some Doc Martin work boots that are around forty years old and had a resole about fifteen years ago. I did once get a cheap pair of work boots and they lasted about three weeks before the polyurethane soles fell apart. I got my money back

[@jabbasan12]

Great job Dan!

[@defleppardfan87]

Absolutely fantastic dan!!

Another perfect re-sole, with a nice leather midsole and no stitching through the outsole. Great job!

Love your channel. Timberlands are my favourite footwear, I still live in the 90's in my head. Many times iv wanted old boots repaired but the prices quoted where similar to buying a new pair. Unless they're sentimental it's not worth it. These boots cost £150 to buy and would have been £50 in the early 90's. That guy loved them boots.

truly amazing!
