Bruno Magli Boot Resole | CONTEST WINNER Gets Free Boot Refurbishment

[@pankar2273]

Can't thank you enough guys! Those are actually my boots, purchased in Bologna, Italy some 20 years ago. I used them on a daily basis throughout my studies and had them "wrapped" in Vibram for better weather protection. I can't believe I will be wearing them again soon. Amazing job as always! Ps: drop the mustache

[@TrentonHeath]

Pan Kar Glad you like them! We were happy to be able to work on them for you. I know it’s been a while, but you’ll have them back very soon. 😉

[@pankar2273]

@@TrentonHeath tnx again for the amazing job guys!

[@tommynguyen8555]

@@pankar2273 I love the look of your boots! Do healthcare workers actually wear stuff like this on the floor?

[@pankar2273]

@@tommynguyen8555 actually yes, we use crocs in the operating room but ordinary shoes while running up n down to the departments. Most prefer snickers but I always went for well made leather shoes

[@ML-xh6rd]

They're good as new but better because the uppers are broken in. A beautiful claasic dress boot. Hope you enjoy them for many many more years.

[@patriciarose4198]

In England there are many shoe repair shops but no real craftsman like these brothers. Always a pleasure to see them at work.

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

Got to see so many techniques and TOOLS on this one! That's my favorite part. Well all of it's my favorite part but still.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you, Buck!

[@hanwenyap]

My theory has been proven correct. Facial hair does improve leather working skills. ;) Another great job by our favorite cobbling brothers!

[@TrentonHeath]

Yazza Yap Hahaha...I think you we’re definitely on to something! 😉👍👞

[@EDHBlvd]

Yazza Yap Ya keep the stache.

[@hotwax9376]

Tell that to Steve over at Bedos.

[@hannakinn]

Heath is so handsome that I think I prefer him with no mustache, no need to cover up any of his good looks at all!

[@TrentonHeath]

Hanna Kin Thank you! ☺️

[@jasonp2906]

Love the new place! You can tell it's a lot bigger because of the echoes. Can't wait for the tour! Oh and thumbs up on the mustache 👍. I've grown mine as well during this pandemic. 😁

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you, Jason! Yeah, it’s quite a bit larger with much taller ceilings. We may have to resort to the small clip on mics. 👍 on the mustache.

[@kripstoe]

Content is still great, but the old, smaller shop without the echoes and bit darker setting made for a more old timey intimate atmosphere. Seems more factory now.

[@TrebleForTheBass]

I change my facial hair weekly. Do what you want and don’t worry if anyone doesn’t like it. Love the stache

[@corpsiecorpsie_the_original]

The sound of those threads exploding apart was so good 🥰 I also now remember how I tense up when that pry tool comes out.

[@edyue1]

The "Blind internal stitch" is amazing. So meticulous. One slip of the knife and you have to start all over again?

[@TH-jq8gx]

Gentlemen- Your workmanship and attention to detail always amaze me. You would have done well as surgeons. Congratulations on your success.

[@johnflynn4923]

Congrats and best wishes on the move to the new premises! The refurb on those boots will make one Greek man very happy indeed.

[@richardward9183]

Another amazing job, gentlemen! And you keep rockin that stache, Heath! Looks good!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you very much, Richard!

[@ladyofglencairn]

Love the stubble, not too fond of the 'stache. ☺ Great video!

[@TrentonHeath]

ladyofglencairn Thank you! We appreciate you watching...and for the ‘stache feedback. 😉

[@roberttakatsu3926]

I only learned how to refurbish sneakers. No stitching just gluing just adding an occasional orthotic. They lasted better when I was done

[@sydney4911]

Looking forward to the tour of the new digs. Great re-build on these boots. As for the stache, well let's just say I tend to be partial to them myself since I started growing mine when I was back in college at the age of 21. Haven't shaved it off even once since the original growing of it and that is 42 years ago .... yep, grew it back in 1978 - were guys even born yet? Thanks again for taking us along. I always enjoy stopping in to see what you both have for us.

[@adibee88]

The boot restoration looks great! As far as the mustache, gave me a flashback of when my fellow Marines and I would go to the field, it was a MUST to grow the 'Stache! 👍

[@TheBaritoneCrooner]

Heath's stache is a keeper! It's a good look for him.

[@lapirk]

Both of you should keep full blown handlebar staches. Will make you look more vintage! Great video as usual, guys.

[@kirkmullen3449]

Can’t get enough of y’all’s videos. Been binge watching like crazy. 👀 FYI… The stache is looking good. Let it keep growing.

[@Wapaz]

The precision on the fully manual steps - cutting for the blind stitch and pressing the marks in the shoe is so impressive to me. If you make a mistake there, it really puts a dent in the whole repair.

[@caruser4]

Wow, what an amazing sole job. It must have been so tedious cutting back that layer. Also, keep the 'stache 👍🏽

[@hardline5889]

So glad you guys decided to make content on this Lost Art, it’s almost impossible to find someone these days to do the work let alone to do quality work. I wear out heels like nobody’s business on both my shoes and boots.

[@dgreen8388]

I dig the mustachio, however I think a well maintained salt & pepper beard would also be pretty cool. Keep up the good work, guys!

[@thomaskraincuk9815]

Almost forgot guys: I kinda miss that great background music. What happened? Copyright issues? Anyway, you are awesome!

[@jacobbwalters8133]

Agree on the music!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thomas Kraincuk Thank you sir! No, we haven’t used it in a while for our repair videos. A lot of people said they preferred these types of videos without background music, so we now only use it in our tutorials.

[@thomaskraincuk9815]

@@TrentonHeath It is really great that you answer the guys that follow you directly! On a personal note Heath: I like your commitment to your subscribers opinions a lot BUT please it is YOUR choice whether you prefer a mustache or not. It is no one's business and you should stick with what you Heath like. I hope you won't be offended by these remarks! Once again all the best of luck and even more success with your new shop! Very rarely the world of shoe aficionados has seen such erudite cobblers as you dear brothers are! Kind regards from Vienna!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you, Thomas!

Don’t listen to them, they are trolling.... your vids could be ASMR with the machine noises, the peeling of the glue, the hot cork etc.... the music ruines all of that! No music.. music is for intros and outros, or a time lapse montage. Source: been on KZbin since the beginning

Great to see you guys in the new shop! Sound has a lot of echo due to the larger building, maybe use a different mic? Not crazy about the musstache. I'm sure the bugs will get ironed out. So happy for you and your family. Happy Independence Day.

[@davidhigginbotham3226]

Give the stash a little more time to grow in. If it doesn’t fill out nicely, then get rid of it. The new place looks nice. Loved the repair job on the shoes. You guys are great.

[@MrZeke]

He looks like a young george clooney with that 'stache, lol, probably works alot harder than clooney ever has though! Nice job on the boots!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Regarding moustache: Yes. However, I think your lovely wife should have veto power on that one. :D

[@BiteSizedCrafter]

Exactly! The SO always has last say on if a guy’s stach is sexy or not. lol

[@danshep69]

Lyndsey MacPherson I would only agree if he has veto on his wife’s appearance. I like the stache and think he is really handsome with or without it.

[@LeglessWonder]

@@BiteSizedCrafter pretty sure that's called an abusive relationship.

[@RAD6150]

The new shop seems huge! Great work as always. I had a few moments where I went "But what about...? Oh, okay!" As far as the 'stache, not my style but most people probably like it. At the eod as long as the wife does, that all that matters. 😉

[@paulsheffield4729]

It's very clear that you've been a completely different person in the positive sense in the most recent videos. Much more outgoing and relatable to the viewers. It must be the mustache. Whatever has happened or happening in your life, keep it up my Friend

[@sublee7597]

Wow!! You guys have so much more room, maybe put sound deadening on the walls to decrease the echoing. Awesome job and keep the stache.

[@TrentonHeath]

Sublee75 Thank you! Yep, it’s quite a bit larger than our last place. The ceilings are very tall, so we may have to start using the clip on mics.

[@jenksify]

Hey guys, just a word about the new place . You might want to see about some sound dampening panels for the walls. It would help cut down on the echoes.

[@cokihihe8025]

Miss the background music! But not the Stache.

Thank you, Steven! We’re actually looking to bring someone else on to learn from us and to grow with us. Definitely need the help! 😉

[@tommysmith7031]

The new place looks really big. The shoes look great. Can blake stitch shoes be turned into goodyear welted shoes? If you have a new welt and stitch it to the shoes then stitch the welt to the sole. Are there any reasons why you wouldn't want to do that? Heath, your moustache needs more work.

[@NT-we9yl]

Hey T&H, great video as always! I've been wanting to get a good pair of boots for a while now. I looked at Thursday Boots, but I came across to many reviews that said they're not comfortable and supportive enough to spend a whole day wearing. I'm looking for something at that $200-300 price point from a company that makes wide sizes, which most DTC do not do. Do you have any suggestions?

[@evelyn_r]

Used to seeing you guys being clean shaven. The mo needs to be longer in order to twirl the ends 😜 but you guys can try out whatever you guys want to. Variety keeps things interesting. Nice boots. Love seeing how much difference there’s in start to finish 👍💖👍

Trent gets to look years younger when Heath sports a moustache!

[@TrebleForTheBass]

In all of the cobbling videos I’ve watched on all the channels I’ve never seen what you did at 15:50 before where it gives a shiny finish to the bottom of the sole. What is that process called? Is that just a heated iron of some sort? Great job by the way!

[@joshuasteele4498]

Whatever you and your wife think on the ‘satche is the answer. Question on the sole stamping process: How many actual sizes do you have for that? Seems you’d want to within a shoe size or so in order to minimize your waste.

[@821dcauto]

Great video as always. Thumbs up on the moustache. Awaiting video on the new shop.

Nice jeans, wingtips (shoes or zip boots), button shirt, and then in winter a nice wool peacoat. Sometimes a nice flat cap. Then on monday mornings, back to Merrels and Duluth....😁

How do your hands feel after a day of resole's and pulling soles off all day? Do you get cramps in your hands? I'm asking because I'm interning as a designer for Tom Ford and my hands kill me after a solid day of hand sewing.

[@budiharyadi4968]

Just graduated from medschool a few months ago, and i used to wear my chelsea boots too around the hospital, even got them stained with blood once 😂 It's now my favourite type of boots since it's a lot easier to get on and off, especially when you have to get in and out of the operating room frequently.. It feels really good to be a little more stylish among the sea of sneakers in the hospital while still staying relatively comfortable 😊😊
