From the son of a shoe repairman, 👞 I liked what you did for the boots. I myself would have been a shoe repairman myself but my Dad thought I moved to slow, but that is OKAY I learned how to do the job anyway. Learned the leather craft and I have a good hobby. Now I am making a pair of slippers from scratch, using sheepskin and elk leather. I am going to subscribe.

Well, this is such a great revelation in boot repairs, what a fantastic job you made of what was probably a fairly good make of boot and you made them like new! Thanks for taking us through the stages of the repair, I would only like to ask, was it more financially better to repair than replace as I know shoe repairs can be very expensive and probably that is why in many cases it is cheaper to buy new and that is probably why so many shoe repairers seem to have gone. Thanks for this, so well done.

Those are better than some Frye models I've seen, like vinyl shafts, and like you mentioned, leather wrapped plastic heel blocks, all sorts of nastiness. One up-grade I'd've opted for, the more traditional cowboy boot waist, which isn't flat, and pinned with the traditional wooden pins. Nice detail touches to the JRs too, shading with the dye, the decorative pattern rolled into the leather near the stitch line. I'd've loved to've seen just how you used that waxed cordage to add the structural integrity of the leather while welting the toe, a nice job there. A question (not challenging your work), curious as to why the leather didn't get conditioner where it's stitched to the welt, prior to welting? Would that have a negative effect on the integrity of the leather?

Trent, when you used the brown polish on the boots, do you need to avoid getting it on the stitching to keep it from turning brown?
@TrentonHeath2 жыл бұрын
If the stitching and welts are also brown, it’s okay to use the brown cream on it. It’ll also provide a bit of conditioning to the welts. If the stitches are white, or another color, I use neutral cream along the edge.

Loved this video though there was a lot less explaining… what was the black pad you glued on? I am afraid to have my fav cowboy boots resoled as I took my hand made Luccheses into a recommended cobbler. They took twice as long as the ETA ( I hadn’t worn any holes in the soles yet ) I wore them ONCE and they split along the metatarsals! WTF! So my Naconas need a resole. I live in San Francisco where we have a lot of cobblers but I don’t think they get many XX toed cowboy boots!
