THOROGOOD BOOTS Resole #62

[@kimcokevin]

At first I didn’t understand why you’d cut off perfectly good original soles... and then I saw the finished product. Man those are straight up classy.

[@thayne559]

My thoughts too. Those boots were barely broke in.

[@rapt0rk3v]

I wanted to make a snarky comment after I saw the original soles but watched the full video after I read yours. I’d get a new pair resoled by this guy any day 👍

[@sawasm.8672]

The best resol I've ever seen mate!! The result just blow me away. The colour combination, finish , proportions... just perfect!! I'm following u now for one year and I've seen every video of you. Brian wish you just the best.. and thank you for beeing part of my life! From Hamburg Germany.. Sawas :-)

[@simonsimon340]

Amen to that!

[@sisleymichael]

Wow. Fantastic. I just found this channel. This popped up in my feed so I said let me see this. I wear those boots all the time. I now know who to get to resole my boots. Thanks.

[@soter305]

I feel like Brian was transported here by a time machine.

[@MrChristianbowman82]

Exactly what you said!

[@nickwerner6993]

The amount of time and pride put into each boot, is really an amazing thing . Wish more people today were like you!

[@tylertripp3610]

Thank you for your videos. I switched to Thorogoods from Redwings years ago and I’ve never looked back. Love your work, keep up the great content!

[@sugarpuff2978]

This for me is the nicest pair of boots I've seen on this channel.

[@MrAlexissantana]

Sugar Puff I agree with you. Even though I have many High-end Boots after watching that video makes me want to by a pair and send in to Brian to put one of those nice looking soles on them.😉

[@DitIsIdroj]

I actually think Brian mskes better boots. Id love to own a pair of his, shipping costs tho.

Finally a pair of Thorogood boots..... Great boots, now, awesome...

[@drywater_]

They were Thorogood, now they're Thorogreat

[@lvfregoso8]

By far my favorite!!!! Beautiful work.. like the cameo of the maestro

[@RatdogDRB]

THIS is the video I've been waiting on... seeing how my Thorogood boots are constructed, and how they might look with some Roll Club love applied to them. I'm thinking, white cork, oiled leather (no dye), a little taller on the heel than you did on these, and, m'be some leather lining on the inside of the toe box. I'm not a big fan of the fabric lining, it doesn't last like leather does. Nice work there, young man.

[@Jake-ns4iq]

Going into boot repair/ re-soling apprenticeship. You made this look so easy when it is not. Your video was like a step by step tutorial. Very nice work!!! You are years ahead of me bro. Lol I hope that one day I can master this skill just like you.

[@fastlee84]

I believe you made that shoe look even better with that color combination and style!! Love it!!!

[@bw33511]

agree...that was amazing

[@mschock98]

Amazing work. Quality craftsmanship like this is a lost art anymore. Glad to see you're keeping it alive and well.

[@deecord]

I was gonna complain that there was still a lot of life left on those soles. After seeing what you did it was definitely an upgrade. Great work man!

[@sparks701]

That sole looked really tough to get off! I wear thorogood boots everyday for work. Never thought I could go to work looking that good.

[@mrmidnight32]

Same thing as the nike swag kids but in boot/hipster style. They just want to spend money to make things different or “better” not cause they need to but cause they can and so other people see it.

[@JJ-lu6mg]

Cktime ThirtyTwo exactly those boots are definitely not going to be seen on any worksite...

[@JJ-lu6mg]

@ Reece Rapson I wasn’t saying that you don’t see Thorogood’s or Redwings on job sites. What he was referring to is that nobody who buys these boots are going to have a brand new boot resoled by Brian and then wear them to work. His resole service costs more than what that actual boot cost.

[@andytuesday500]

@@JJ-lu6mg Thorogoods are easy to break in I guess no resole for me

[@bluegrassman3040]

[@greythorton2772]

Man the craftsmanship is outstanding! This was awesome to watch!

[@SuperFlowback]

I love thorogood boots. Their my favorite work boot. I have a little over 3 yrs on a pair (8” moc toe) just like these in the oilfield. They are comfortable right out of the box and the sole has lasted this whole time. But I will say they never came anywhere close to looking this good. This video makes me want to buy a new pair and send them straight to California and have Brian throw some of his magic on them. Probably the best transformation of any boots I’ve seen done on this channel and that’s saying a lot. You’re a master at your craft Brian. Please don’t ever stop

[@f308gtb1977]

The plier/tong flip with the subsequent smile/nod at the camera at 7:53 was easily worth the “like” all by itself. Fortunately, the rest of the video was great, too! Thanks Brian!

[@Phinalhour]

Honestly probably the best resole I’ve e ever seen. The boot looks so damn good now. Amazing job Brian!

[@skoffco]

Way better than new! Ask me how I know, Brian did a pair of my Alden Indies with that sole😄

[@powersww1reset]

What is a ballpark rate for something like that? If you don’t mind me asking

[@BrianWalsingham]

The best resole I’ve seen and it really complements the Thorogood boot beautifully.

[@iainmceachran321]

Wow! What can I say? I wondered why the customer wanted new soles...... Then I saw the result, fantastic. You are certainly a master at this. I congratulate you, Brian - and also your customer for getting those real classy boots. Fabulous!

[@misterquintus]

Beautiful, just beautiful.

[@jeffreygoss8109]

Three minutes in and I’m like this guy has passion and pride. I have no desire to sew up a boot but really enjoyed watching this guy.

[@thoraxia]

I love the music and the heart you put into your work. You're a true craftsman and the fact that you're so young is just plain inspiring. Thank you for your channel and it's content. I wish you much success.

Hey Jason I just bought a pair of thorogood 8 inch with the wedge sole if you have had a wedge sole do that hold up good to construction sites and gravel as I bounce around job sites. Thanks for any info I got the wedge sole cause it felt so much better than I the heels I've wore for years and years.

[@ShawnL61189]

Those turned out amazing! I’m surprised the guy wanted them resoled with what looked like new soles already, but those turned out really nice! What craftsmanship!

[@vasiliynikiforov1976]

Thank you very much for sharing resole videos. When i was rooky in russian army, it was summer of 2004, we had to change heels by ourselves. We had to learn it at one night using only hammer and iron thing which placed into boot and we called it paw. No one teached us and it was almost panic. Btw, we had few nails and nobody told us to find some, we could do it earlier, ahaha. At the morning we all had changed heels. Funny now, but then it wasn't so, lol. And ofcourse we had only two paw and two hammer for 120 young men 😂 Heels of soviet army boot have 11 holes for nails. If i'm not wrong. Watching your videos i'm learning to do same, want to make and repair if it's needful boots for myself and my beautiful people :) You do great job! Greetings from Russia.

[@TylerSnyder305]

I sure wouldn't mind a resole like this on my plain toe thorogood 814's when the time comes. The 814 is definitely underrated in the boot community, first and foremost a diehard work boot but they look great and a resole like this really sets them off. Love these boots, they're so comfortable and that max wear wedge is harder wearing than a vibram cristi wedge. Those moc toes aren't bad looking but I definitely prefer a round toe. Redwing and chippewa don't even seem to offer an 8" wedge sole plain toe. and thorogood really seems to offer a bit more in a $200 boot than anyone else. Goodyear double seam storm welt, faster break in period, harder wearing outsole, what's not to like.

[@ianturnbow7011]

The thinner leather, loose grain, and lower quality leather compared to other moc toe boots made in the U.S. has put me on standby for buying moc toe boots. How would you compare these to the Danner Bull Run and Red Wing 8” moc toe? The consensus seems to be Red Wing for leather quality and street wear, Thorogood for actual work, and Danner as the side option.

Seems there are not many of them left anymore.. My Dragline Crane has two brake pedals and you have to hold the parking brake locking springs in while digging .. These brakes are for the hoist and drag cable drums.. Only lfat bottom "Wedge" Soles work for me.. I must have a sole like what was on the Thorogood origionally .. If there is a gap under the foot bed in front of the heel they won't work...
