I have been wearing boots daily for 45 years (military and construction) and I have gained more knowledge about the how and why some boots are so much better than others in the last week watching your videos than in all the years before. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into your videos and your efforts to make it possible for all of us that spend so much time on our feet in less than ideal conditions, to make informed decisions. This has changed my attitude towards spending hard earned money on footwear in general. I will be sure to tell everyone around me to check out your videos so that they too can make informed decisions. Thank you so very much and please keep it up.

If you don't have anything to re-use the soles on I'd suggest just wearing them out. See how the upper is then, maybe you'll be up to making a pair of boots - you'll have a pattern. For re-soling Vibram's Stowe Gumlite is my go-to for that style of boots. Montagna if you want them really beefy. Or split the difference by adding 3/8" orthopaedic crepe and Kletterlift soles - they're an overlay style with a mini-montagna pattern. The Cristy is perfect for work boots (especially brown leather uppers with light soles), but looks a bit off on Docs.

I bought a couple pairs back in the early 90's. Wore the leather insoles out under the ball of my big digit. Little bits of wool or felt came out through those holes day by day until I was able to completely slide the leather insoles out and found about a hundred little splinters. I never knew that was a shank until now. I remember thinking, "How'd that mulch get in there?" I squat a lot. Kneeling down - butt on the back of one heel balanced on my toes. All that squatting split the rubber sole linearly on the ridged side of the sole at it's thinnest point. I paid $275 for those, my second pair in '97. Yes. I still wear them. Although, they chew up replacement insoles. The leather is butter.

That brings back memories when my parents were very picky about me caring about my shoes as a kid. Warm winter boots in particular. It's nice to get so much in depth knowledge about shoes when so many other people pretend to be individuals with sneakers that don't last long.

I can appreciate what you do bc it's literally artwork and I wish I had the skill to work with leather. That being said, as someone who's been wearing Docs since 1986, I will always love the original design. As uncomfortable as they can be at times, I would want the replacement sole to have the same/ similar heel as the OG. You did great work and I'm going to subscribe now, so I can see your future videos and the old. :)

There was a common flaw a few years ago with Doc's....The sole was splitting in thousands of peoples expensive boots! Mine included! I contacted Doc Martens and was fobbed off by them, they suggested that i should have bought the more expensive made in England ones. My reply was, "I thought mine were made in England" turns out, the majority are now made in Thailand or similar, with a short run made in England....Will never buy DMs ever again, cost me over £100 and they lasted about 2 years before splitting! Local shoe repair guy said he couldn't resole them. The sole you have fitted looks awesome.

I am impressed . We build boots about the same and the differences aren't meaningful. I would have probably put in a metal shank but I get why you didn't. Those boots now are 100% better. I was particularly impressed with your storm welt... I've never done that. I confess since its a factory boot and you never know what crazy way factory boots are made , they can be a mess to rebuild. ...( all though your show address that with the cut aways .) I would have probably just cut off the heel , sanded the sole flat and glued on a new lug sole. Great job.

If you've got a shoe repairer in your area, please ask them if they'll convert docs. Some will only cut down the original soles that are in decent shape and add an overlay. Which is pefectly fine, but not what you want.

That def earned a huge "thumbs up" 👍. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, taking "products" and investing time & energy to make something better than what's available "off the shelf". It's equivalent to car guys that "sup up" their cars for more HP; or gamers that "overclock" and modify their computers for more FPS. You took a boot with deficiencies and added time & premium materials and ended up with a much better boot that no one else has. You basically "supped up" & "overclocked" your boots... Awesome job. I would love to hear how they hold up.
@Immortal-Headcase3 жыл бұрын
2 things I learned about Doc Martens years ago. 1, buy AT LEAST half size larger and use memory foam insoles with good arch support. 2, Before you first wear them use a neutral dubbin in all the stitching and use a hair dryer to melt it into the thread to waterproof them. Hopefully this will make your use of them less hellish and less damaging to your pocket. Lack of a shank can be a problem, but if you dubbin it once a month and use boot oil in the creases they shouldn't crack and split for a long time, mine have had 20 years of casual use and due for a resole soon, was thinking of getting them converted into clogs.
