Iron Ranger 8111/Their Last Resole/Dr.Sole Super Grip

[@billyroque7857]

Dude!!!! Thanks for bringing my shoes back to life. They look amazing now. I was debating if I should take them to red wings again for a third resole but I see that you were the better choice! Keep rocking your skills.

This guys the best! Me , myself would rather give my money to a small business than a big one. This guy takes a lot of pride in his craft!

Did you not notice boots didn’t have cork?

[@billyroque7857]

@@mrandmrscorona8658 honestly, I thought red wing was doing their job correctly. Obviously the proof is in the pudding. Big corporations don’t have the best quality control but I’m glad that I came across Aaron in KZbin. You can plainly see they were done way better than before. The video surely clears any misconceptions wether he’s doing a good job or not. I believe he is. I hope his collection of videos will bring much more work to his shop. Happy Thanksgiving.

I’ve seen cobblers resole 30 year old boots. Why would this be the last resole for those boots? They can replace the footbed and gemming. The leather doesn’t look ripped anywhere and even then they could be repaired

[@amshootez]

Beautiful Job! I love what you do with the leather midsole - makes IR's look so much better - kinda like a Truman, and I'm sure more comfortable too.

[@tobedetermined4180]

Thank you for posting such good videos. People need to watch them so they will see how much work and dedication it takes to bring these boots back to life, I want to share an idea with you. I know it not always going to be possible because you get a lot of work in the mail, and people who bring you work in person may not agree, but hopefully you can have one that will. Create a video with the “Customer Reaction” it will be interesting to watch and I can assure you they will go Wow! Like many of your subscribers do in every video we watch. Keep doing what you doing, be safe and stay healthy.

[@AaronG2480]

No wonder my boots feel like I am walking on bricks after a red wings re sole! I will never send them to red wing again. They were not that comfortable before the resole and now they feel terrible. After putting in Dr Scholl inserts they have improved a little. Moved on to Thorogood Moc toe. Super comfortable right out of the box.

[@man8god]

Great video- honestly though did these boots really need a resole? There was plenty of thickness in the heels and main sole

[@EdAb]

New boots have a fiberboard heel rand and no leather midsole. Even if you had to replace the footbed these boots would be worth another rebuild from Aaron. It might cost a little bit more, but the quality would be so much better. Aaaand, you'd be supporting a person who embodies everything that is good about the U.S.A.! This, coming from a Canadian!

[@ermalaguita78]

De España también te seguimos. Estoy entre dos botas de 8 pulgadas ,thorogood o red wing? Cual me aconsejas y porq. Muchas gracias y sigue asi

[@AaronG2480]

Muchas gracias por apoyarme, La pregunta más importante es para que vas a usar tus botas? En mi experiencia propia, para trabajar las thorogood son muy cómodas desde la primer semana, debido a que las plantillas son de material sintético y la piel es más suave Si las quieres para vestir normal definitivamente me inclino por las Red Wing se ven por mucho mejor, eso si ocupan casi 5 semanas para empezar a amoldarse. En resumen ,comodidad thorogood , buena vista Red Wing, pero para trabajar yo no las aguantó 🤷🏻‍♂️ Saludos hasta España 🇪🇸 y espero mi comentario te sirva!!

It would be interesting to know why you felt they could not be resoled again. Is it that the leather was too worn out around the welt?

[@idrcookiez620]

I’m speechless on the missing cork, especially if your paying for the materials to be redone. It’s really sad. If no one opens the shoe you’ll never know what work they truly do

[@AaronG2480]

Here’s the thing, red works with several cobblers so those cobblers are the responsible ones for these poor repairs and is not necessary Red Wing’s fault. But of course there’s no valid excuse.

[@idrcookiez620]

@@AaronG2480 yeah I guess just one of the risks of going back to the big corp for repairs instead of local hard working cobblers to take pride in their work no doubt about it. Hence why they start they’re profession. This is why you lo be sending my pair of boots to you when I need them resoled.

Great Job Bro. Why did the owner feel he needed a resole? Seems he still had slot of Nitrile Cork Sole left and Heel was also in decent shape? Was it because of the missing Inner Cork he felt the boots were uncomfortable and needed a resole?

[@billyroque7857]

I try to keep up with the maintenance of my shoes as much as possible. I knew it was time to fix the soles. Naturally Red Wing came to mind for a third resole but seeing how Aaron was close to where I live, I wanted to give him a try. You can see in the video they needed some much needed repair, which I thought wasn’t needed. Little did I know RW didn’t do their job right. Thankfully seeing this video along with the actual shoes brings up much better clarity on what it actually takes to do a job right. I will not be questioning or wondering if Aaron did the job right. He’s providing visual proof of it. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

[@TheGlassToe]

@@billyroque7857 Aaron does an amazing job. I have tried several cobblers in LA county, Aaron is by far the best imo. I know when I take by shoes and boots there I'm going to get back something recrafted with as much integrity as I'd put in them if I could resole.

[@zHumanfactor]

Perfecto!

[@Che3esyMcLove]

Why is this the last one ? 🤔 They look real good 🤷‍♀️

[@tiagomarques2884]

Great work! Why is that the last resole? They look new again and unless the upper leather is damaged it can be done again right?

[@billyroque7857]

I think he means this particular resole will last longer. I’ve had these boots for almost ten years now. I make sure to use leather conditioner and other products to maintain the leather. They look beat up because I like the weathered look, after a while the scuffs and scratches from everyday life give it character, which I like.

[@AaronG2480]

Thanks Tiago, The next time the foot bed will have to be replace, and also the heel counters, to do that we have to deconstruct the boot, plus the new Resole, that’d cost a lot more than a new pair!!✋🏻

@@AaronG2480 It's too bad that the nice new welt will only have one sole attached to it. 😥

[@gingerjam2192]

Nice! What makes you think it is the last resole? I’m curious, the leather looks fine.

[@AaronG2480]

Leather looks good after the treatment a gave it, but is not strong enough for another Resole Next time they will need a new foot bed and new heel counters + the Resole I’d cost twice the price of a new pair and that’s because we would have to deconstruct the whole boot, only a crazy person would pay for that.

[@AaronG2480]

The main problem on these boots is the foot bed, the next time they get Resole, they’ll for sure need a new foot bed, and if that’s the case the costumer will end up paying more than what a new pair cost, that’s what I meant by their last Resole, but of course costumer has the last word, thanks for watching 🙏
