【Bench-Re-Built】Vtg Corcoran Jump Boots - Shaft Cut from 10" to 7"

[@spacepodi]

In the modern age it’s great to see skilled craftsmen still take pride in their work. Nicely edited too!

[@DrSole]

Thank you very much for the kind words!

[@mbmorell17]

As a former paratrooper who still has the 10" Corcorans....great job! The 7" would be a lot more usable. I must admit I cringed when I saw you cutting into those boots but wow what a great finish! Love it!

[@patrickgaebelein]

Yeah. I cringed.

[@1nvisible1]

*Now I want one pair of both!*

[@ralphh.2200]

Nice job-the curved cut makes them unique...I did a similar mod to a pr of French Rangers.Removed the buckle flap, ground off the lugs on the sole, and replaced the lug heel withe a plain Goodyear.Now it looks much like the WW2 rough-out 7 in boot-the type worn with leggings.

Incredible work. Great job.

[@DrSole]

Thanks for your support!

[@Orlanzepol123]

Very nice. You’re a master at what you do.

[@DrSole]

Thanks for your support! 🤜🤛

[@chuckfriebe843]

Absolute work of art!

[@DrSole]

Thank you~

[@gabrielbiyo5008]

Awesome job as always,simple and clean look.

[@DrSole]

Thank you 😊

[@NDB469]

Turned out great

[@tripeee58]

awesome job as per usual. Love the music. This conversion has got me thinking about making a custom motorcycle boot like this using the left over leather to form a D3 filled malleolus protective circle that you could double stitch on. Maybe also use some to reinforce the heel counter. Just an idea. What do you think? Would it be worth the cost?

[@DrSole]

Thanks! That sounds doable. Please send us an email to discuss in more details.

[@danielsaldivar5423]

This is beautiful! I need something like this

[@jerikromero1746]

From jump boots to type II service shoes.

[@DrSole]

That is exactly what the owner wants :-)

[@ЭтоЙа-х2ц]

это очень круто смотрится!

[@quebraregra]

this is the dream right here... Soooo many boots I'd luv to have cut down to mids (jungle boots, RATs, etc.).

[@DrSole]

Much easier for daily use

[@FreeSpeechIsDead]

Nice work. Thank you for the video.

[@DrSole]

[@DrSole]

Thank you

[@kingcobra7565]

Well done!

[@DrSole]

Thank you!

[@etrain172]

How much would this cost?

[@handybunny]

Approximately what does a job like this cost? I’d like to have this done…

[@DrSole]

around $80-100, depending on case by case. Please send us an email if you need more details and information.

[@splashpit]

Nice however I’d like boot pull loops on mine .

[@MorrowSind]

So nice! I want a pair. 😍

[@jamesdaniel2363]

GORGEOUS

[@DrSole]

Thank you :-)

[@MrDyldoBaggins]

Always great work, but I don’t know why the client wants to cut down these replicas 😢

[@grahamhardin8]

For real!

[@garyh4458]

Because they are hard to get on and off.

[@thewhiteelephant]

Putting them on, taking them off, wearing them in summer, etc, etc, etc…

[@yvesrolland3829]

]Hello , what a great job you did on those Corcoran !!! ( from ATF ??? ) I see that the heel sole is a 90° instead the 45° of the regular , did you changed them too to correspond a type II service shoes ? Btw , i bought some outsoles from you earlier to resole a WWII original Corcoran jump boots , i can't wait to see the result ( Super grip half sole / trooper cork heel ) . Amazing job and story i reed from stitchdown !!!

[@DrSole]

Thank you very much for the kind words. We only did the shaft-cut and sole/heel remained untoched :-)

[@andrewnowman8341]

When I get on google looking for a “dress boot”. This is what I’m looking for.

[@chuckfriebe843]

They are sized large. Beware when ordering. In a tennis shoe I wear a 13. In these I wear a size 11.5.

[@matrox]

Not sure why someone would want to do that as it destroys the look of the boot, but ok, do your thing sole brother.✊😝

[@chuckfriebe843]

The time that it takes to lace a 10 inch boot compared to a 7 inch boot with speed laces, that's why.

[@LestatLee]

请问您有店铺吗？在哪里可以买到您改的鞋吗？

[@garyh4458]

Those are nice. Will you make me a pair like that? How much?

[@VezioR]

Nice 👌👍👍🔥💯🔝🌈

[@B1a7guy]

You could’ve just bought type 2 service shoes and gotten the same results

[@DrSole]

But the owner requested to have a curve edge at the top of the shaft, which can't be seen on the type 2 service boots you mentioned

[@duckhuang5228]

跪著看完

[@DrSole]

感謝支持啦！

[@mikemontano8807]

[@Hazztech]

The hell would somebody want that for

[@thewhiteelephant]

Not everyone is like you, bud.

[@Hazztech]

[@wc7484]

​@@Hazztechlol

[@IgnisXIV]

Ruined

[@alexmora2723]

Wow , I need to do that to a pair of Chippewa boots.

[@DrSole]

You may show this video to the cobbler who will be working on your boots :-)
