In this video, we give this pair of women's FRYE cowboy boots a complete overhaul. The soles on these boots were a total disaster and needed help. We put on new welts, upgraded the soles to JR leather, added stacked leather heel blocks and gave the soles a bit of a decorative flair. This restoration was a total success! Time for another shoe or boot makeover.

I’m from NW Oklahoma, have worn boots for a long time, probably 74 years. Generally when I leave the house I’ve got boots on. These are ready to go dancing again!!! I’ve also told a couple of fellows out here who do shoe repair about your channel, I’m sure that they enjoy it too.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks, we really appreciate it! We used to live in Moore, OK.

Hey Fellas! I really enjoyed the improvements you made to this woman's boots. I wish I had a pair of my own to send to you for repair. I love your work. As usual, Great Job Fellas

Thanks so much!

My favorites are the cowboy boot restorations and I have a very favorite pair of Tony Lamas to send to you to be restored.

Saturday morning with a cup of tea and a Trenton and Heath video. That's the proper way to start the weekend.

[@jennypaxton8159]

I have a pair of Frye cowgirl boots! They’re vintage, though I’m not sure exactly what vintage specifically, and I love them. I got them on eBay, and when I got them, the rubber heel pads were totally gone, and the previous person had apparently gone right on wearing them on just the heel blocks. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Speaking of driving on the rims… but I got them repaired straight away, and they have a better home now.

[@williamcooper2368]

Beautiful work.

I want to see the buckle bunny who wears these boots 🥰 Nice ! Thanks for sharing.

[@ttop64]

Deja Vu. Just as good the second time around. But we get it . Making sandals is probably making it difficult for making new content . Unless it's a video showing us the making of the new flip flops. 😉 One on the way?

[@TrentonHeath]

Shhhh! 😁😉 Haha…yeah, getting these sandals up and going, since bringing them back here, has been quite time consuming. Yep, that video is in the works now.

[@AlphaVo]

I appreciate how you feature different kinds of boots with different stich methods, i.e. blake, goodyear, chain, etc. That's helpful since it visually demonstrates to me how certain stitch methods could affect the profile / silohouette of the shoe. Thanks for the learning!

[@eddiemcg]

hey gents, i'm really enjoying the restauration vids on your channel. thank you!. makes me want to ask, would you accept a restauration job on my REDWING logger boots? i really like these boots and they are no longer being made. would be great if you could help. cheers. Eddie.

[@paulpietruszewski4226]

Good cowboy boots are an investment. I couldn’t even think about them getting that torn up. Even ranch workers get their boots rebuilt before they get to that state. Since they had leather board heels, maybe they weren’t that much of an investment.

[@Axios58]

This video feels like déjà vu like I’ve seen it before is this a reupload 🤔 but never the less still an amazing video and love watching boots get brought back to life again.

[@dpbeardslee]

Those turned out great. Well done! I always click the "like" button for your videos. I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make the videos, and I get a lot of entertainment out of them. I figure the least I can do is click a mouse button by way of saying thanks. Sooooo, thanks!

G’day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 it’s always fascinating watching how restore what seems to be a disaster and looked like they were read for the bin, your skills are terrific and I never miss an episode. I know I’ve said it before but you must have good hand wash some of these shoes would really stink! Kind regards John

Thanks so much for watching! We’d love to get down to Tasmania one day. Haha…surprisingly, by the time most of them get to us, the smell is long gone. 😄

A comment from down under here. Hardly in any cobbler videos can we see rubber gloves being worn. Can anyone with experience in this industry comment pl?

Great job. Why didn't you put cork in these boots?

[@jaguarguy67]

Would you be able to resole a pair of Mark Nason boots!! They started talking to me from the back heel, I didn't even know it until I got home and took the boot off

[@gilbertogranados6367]

have you guys ever thought about creating your own shoe brand? either cowboy, casual or formal, I do believe you would come up with some tremendous creations, Id definitely get me a few of them if you guys did for sure

[@marcosdelgadojr4327]

Hi 👋, will you ever do a Sendra cowboy boot 🥾 makeover 😊?

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

I paid 5$ at a thrift store for my pair of Frye boots. It had been put with the Halloween costumes. Their sole is in neoprene and I'm pretty sure the heel block is in plastic, but they are they only pair of footwear that I don,t have to use my orthotic insoles with.

[@gress12000]

Up charges is something I see a lot on this channel.

[@200932me]

Two completely different questions for you. I'm curious about the sharpening of the hand tools you use, like the edger and the knife to cut the sole off. Do you resharpen or are they a throw away item? The other question, do you build/offer shoes built from scratch?

[@bcgpropertymaintenance5945]

Do you guys do Carhartt boots

[@Cutter-jx3xj]

I grew up here in north central Texas and I am 64 years old now. I look at boots like that, and have at least 12 pair ,and i know that they look battered and wore out to most people. To the people wearing those boots, they see life lived, the good AND the bad but they are part of every single day gone by,and the many or few still to come . The only thing that will make a cowboy madder than messing with his boots, is messing with his hat.😊

[@alierem4266]

Well said, ( I take my hat off to you. )🤣.

[@Huarachesverdes]

Y’all ever reshape the toe box? Like from a square to a round? Thank you.

What do you guys do with all the scrap leather after a work order? Do you throw it away or send it somewhere for recycling?

[@user-mu7ce1be6w]

Hello, please tell me what glue do you use? Which company? Please describe the sequence of actions when gluing. I want to update the soles on my boots myself...)

[@guidodelgiudice5]

Question off topic about Blake stitching. It is possible to resolve a limited amount of time Blake stiched shoes. Fine. But when do you really need to do that? Can't I just put an antislip rubber grip under the outsole and just change that everytime it needs to? Should I still resole a Blake stiched outsole?

[@karem9605]

I knew I have watched this video before, one year ago, anyway, the repair was very good,.

[@saltyoldbasturd]

Hello there

[@ryanh9424]

How can I send in my boots to get repaired? I’ve looked at all three businesses and can’t find a link or information on your repair business.

[@BrianSexton13]

@TrentonHeath Saw you cleaning these boots with Saddle soap. How often do you recommend cleaning your shoes/bags/belts with Saddle soap to keep them in the best possible condition? I condition my shoes as I wear them, but have not cleaned them either Saddle soap. Thanks so much!!!

[@TrentonHeath]

Just as needed. Unless the leather is very dirty, a simple brushing off will do fine. Outside of that, maybe once or twice a year.

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

Great job. Those boots look great. I love cowboy boots but i cant wear them, the heels are too high for me and put too much pressure on the balls of my feet. Which is a drag cos i'd love a pair.

[@TrentonHeath]

Maybe try ropers instead or the traditional cowboy heel. I have several pairs of ropers and they fee much better in the heel.

[@jennypaxton8159]

Chisos boots are specifically designed to be kinder on the feet.

[@davidharris8797]

Can you do whites boots they Blake stitched I need work done local guy said he can’t do it

[@eamonmooney8418]

Hi guys really enjoyed this episode just quick question what are the best cowboy boots to buy

[@TrentonHeath]

It really depends upon what you’re using them for and how much you want to spend. If you’re looking for just a traditional cowboy boot, Lucchese, Dan Post, Rios of Mercedes are some higher quality ones. If you’re not picky and want just a very comfortable, good looking boot then Tecovas aren’t bad. I have a couple of pairs and really like them.

[@markbudniewski5376]

how much does to repair my boots they big hold

[@chunkymurps]

When you glue the soles to shoes how long do you leave them under the press for?

[@TrentonHeath]

With us, we usually leave them on 30 seconds or so.

[@TrentonHeath]

It depends on the material. The material determines the time and pressure. Anywhere between 15 sec and 5 mins.

[@waynedub1167]

Just a general question here, if one was to send a cleaned and hydrated pair of boots in need of a resole how much time would that save y'all?

[@TrentonHeath]

:) We hope folks will send them in at least cleaned off a bit, but it doesn’t save all that much time. Conditioning them is the easy part.
