Brian, i don't know how old you are but to watch you literally & figuratively grow from an ambitious young man to the man you have become today has been a great journey to witness. Your work ethic, attention to detail & sharing your love in the restoration of your truck has been awesome! Keep up the good work. Best wishes to your "teacher" & mentor. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Nice new look on these wedges. Love the addition of a leather midsole to them. And bedding the stitches into the midsole, so that the outsole can be replaced without tearing up the welt stitching. Nicely done young man.

What a difference in the appearance of the boot from the before to the after product by just using the different color wedge soles. Makes me wish they would use a black wedge sole from the factory instead of the white/beige that stain too easily. A top quality job again Brian, keep up the good work and putting out the weekly videos, hope the truck project is coming along ok too!

Hey Brian, I noticed you seem to always replace the welt when you resole a boot. Is this your choice or customer choice? I’m just curious why you never reuse the original welt like many shoe repair places do.

Probably just to make a more interesting video, only gluing a new sole wouldn't attract many viewers I guess.

@NoOne-hd7nr3 жыл бұрын
If the welt is sewn into the sole it is replaced as it is here. Removing the sole cuts the threading of the welt. Damaging it. Adding a new welt. Sewn to the midsole NOT THE SOLE makes it easier to peel off the sole. Glue a new one. Done.

Brian you always do great work. A master boot and shoemaker! Question : why are some boots or shoes are not well balanced and hurt my feet! I place soles on flat surface and I can see they have a play on either side front door or back heel ( they are not flat on surface) and when you take a step they press to one side visa versa! And that ends up hurting knees, feet etc.
