Boots From 1930's RESTORED and REBUILT with NEW-OLD Stock

[@JinsKookieJams]

*Some are complaining that only the shaft is being used. That's because the shaft is in not too bad of shape and good enough to keep 😅 It's totally ok to rebuild boots. They do it all the time. People super commonly do it for sentimental reasons. It's valid 😊 I think the contrast with the old and new is great! It adds more life to the boots to be used much more! I did read the description and I know it was for entertainment purposes only. However, the owner may or may not use them. But still it does add life to them. They did an awesome job!*

There is just something special about watching a proper tradesman performing their skills. Boots turned out amazing

[@Nordic_Sky]

Amazing how the boots look almost contemporary. I had no idea those fundamental designs went back that far. That really shows they have stood the test of time.

[@applejuice9468]

That's why they call it HERITAGE :)

[@kevinpecunia2432]

Great video, no talking, all business. 👍👍👍

[@મહંમદમુલ્લા]

New life to an old boot. Nice one. Personally, I would have preferred that the final stitches on the sole were channelled. I'm hard on workboots and would have worn down those stitches in no time if they were not channelled.

[@bryanduchane2371]

That's one thing that troubles me about the current boot construction.... It's such a small detail, but it really helps protect the stitches!

[@Sholon]

Agreed. It shouldn’t be that complicated imo, but those stitches are worn out very rapidly in the workplace.

[@Blaque_Frost]

Sends me straight into my grandfather's ax paradox. But beautiful work on both ends of the spectrum.

[@garyb2507]

Nice to see someone actually rinsing off the saddle soap.

[@hyattbusbey3563]

I was a little worried these would get big Vibram V100 soles. The Cat's Paw just fits the old aesthetic so well.

[@josedurbano2730]

Looks amazing, old and New at same time

[@bddmhopp5]

As a 35 year finish carpenter, this is impressive

[@USDAselect]

Certainly rare seeing Cat's Paw. Dr Sole captured their market nowadays.

Dayum i really need to try nicks boats!!!!

[@gsalinas1229]

What sucks is where I live, it is down to 3 cobbler shops. majority of the boot companies just make them disposable and not repairable. I have a pair of thorogood boots and one shop was able to repair them but had to wait a week as they still have business but still a reasonable time if you want them done right.

[@retiredafce3373]

How do the nails not go through to the inside of the shoe or at least be felt from the inside? They seem longer than the width of the leather layers.

[@michaelskinner896]

The point typically deforms and flattens against the shoe stand before the insole is installed.

[@dillydanny-o8807]

@@michaelskinner896 oh interesting! I guess it would make sense they’re special nails for shoes.

[@JinsKookieJams]

​@@dillydanny-o8807 *Clinch nails are what they're called. As soon as they hit the metal stand, after piercing the leather, they curl back into themselves back into the leather. This holds the leather in place besides the contact glue and stitching. All of those keep a strong bond.*

Never see them removing the last out of the boot in any video I've ever watched. Would really like to see how that's done..

There's more steel in a Nick's boot than in a German Leopard 2A6 tank.

There's no steel in nicks boots other than nails and safety toe if you have them though.....

I can't believe those boots were just nailed together and that lasted.

[@applejuice9468]

They were nailed and stitched.

[@JourneyRanger]

These boots are from the 1930s. Boots have been put together with stitches, nails, and lasted for many many years. Incredible how they restored these!

[@zirlianamatthew4598]

[@chadspray104]

What size are they? Are they spoken for already?

[@Nordic_Sky]

I'm sure they were sent in by a customer for rebuild. They probably aren't for sale.

Spoko! Walnij Bracie! 🖐️

[@TheDoug2103]

i love watching these, i dontt get an asmr response, its just great to watch a true craftsman. but why go thru all of this when you can just buy new boots. i buy fairly expensive boots and i would just replace them.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

Part of it is the savings in expense, a rebuild being roughly half the cost of new, the other part is that upper is already broken in.

[@TheDoug2103]

@@corneliuscrewe677 i guess, i would just get new boots, then again, the most expensive boots i would buy wouldnt be over 500.00.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

@@TheDoug2103 I don’t know, man, that break in period is a bit of a b-word. You might just change your mind😆😆

[@TheDoug2103]

@@corneliuscrewe677 im sure, ive worn redwings my entire life and in almost 50 years i went thru 3 pair. in the marines the first thing we did with our new boots was to do calesthetics in a hot shower wearing them, then the next day we went running in them all day, they broke in pretty quick.

[@MemphisCorollaS]

⁠@@TheDoug2103I’ve heard that it’s been common in some branches to “liberate” used oil from the motor pool to soak new boots before doing this. I never served but have veteran friends who told me that. I can imagine it being true tho just for a bit of break in relief before all that running in new boots.

If you ever wanna open up a pacific-asia shop in new zealand im keen learn a new craft. We have some good leather tanneries local for horse, cow, and sheep leather. Our market down here were exposed more to RM williams chelseas and the good old wellington, so it is essentially and untapped PNW boot market, but these would be appealing to alot of men down here not just for the utility and durability but also the look. 😂 😆 🤣

[@johnvelas70]

How do you know the age? From what I hear about nail down boots (my friends own Viberg), if you start offering it, I'd be interested.

[@motaman8074]

Sweet

[@Bearded360]

Would look sweet with rough out.

[@baberoot1998]

Great looking boots...no doubt. Well made. However...the only part that is part of the old boots...is the shaft. Everything else is brand new.

that when boots was made to last forever.

[@dantheman9185]

Seriously, nothing beats a handmade boot. Even if they are 100 years old, your always going to spend a lot of time removing the sole and the heel.

[@danielbornaz]

There is still no way for me to understand _why on earth_ those heels should look like women's boots. The original shape was really good.

[@robertboyer5498]

Do we know what brand boots these are? They look like PNW boots but not stitch down. Maybe they built them like that in the 30’s? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@nicksboots]

We couldn't find any specific marking anywhere on the boot, even during teardown

[@pietro4772]

This pair is on ebay raat noo.

Oh great you turned it into a woman's boot
