Never underestimate the reassuring therapeutic value of watching someone perform a task that he is very good at. No matter what the task.

I've started leather work because of my PTS. Watching videos like this and doing some tasks like edging and cutting keeps my mind free of junk

[@mwpadony]

What I love about this video are the sounds of all the activities and machines. You don't want any terrible music spoiling the video like so many others do. Keep the sounds real. Well done !!

[@ReddOchober]

RN here, when on break during or after a work, I frequently visit your or Adam Savage’s channel. It helps me escape, relax, and decompress for a bit.

[@dhvoith]

These videos are therapeutic! I've always enjoyed watching someone who knows their craft making the old look like new. Auto, aircraft, or motorcycle restoration, home renovation, and even shoe repair. Very satisfying!

[@bbish305]

Thanks for footage of todays video. Was a pleasure to see a nice friendly budget resole. Have a great weekend.

[@TrentonHeath]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.

[@waxedearth5425]

Those polyurethane soles are nice. Got a bit of a squish to them and they wear down slower. Wolverine uses them on their wedge sole 1000 miles too.

[@TrentonHeath]

I agree. I personally like them a bit more than the Vibram Christy sole.

[@EchoInRed]

Agreed on the calming watching effects. My favorite channels to watch before bed are this and a furniture restoration channel. I love the long segments just showing the process with no voice over. Its comforting to watch something be treated well and made good again!

[@richr7604]

Great job on a quality pair of boots, it's good to see there's still skilled Cobblers (shoe repair technicians) around. I used to scrub my leather jump boots twice a year like that back in the late 70's- early 80's. Thank you for a relaxing video..

[@mrbvohlen]

I remember the time I spent with my father-in-law at his workshop. He is a certified orthopaedic shoemaker in Germany. I loved watching him work. When I see your videos, I seem to smell the leather, the solvents and the glue. But something was different from your videos. My father-in-law's workshop was a kind of meeting place in the village. Friends came by regularly. A wonderful place for men's chats. I like your content and my memories from 20 years ago. Tranks.

[@brianathern9154]

Fantastic job even for the every man's boots and no frills. Its therapeutic because I enjoy craftsmanship and to quote my late father "Son if you're going to do something then do it right. Put your time and talents into the work because half-assed is only your half best ". Yep that's almost 40 years of being a sheet metal tinsmith passing down straight forward wisdom to us. I smile every time I get to use his old tools. Keep sending us videos of the labor of love dream for many years. Blessings

[@goldjohn883]

I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I get excited when you guys upload a new video. I like seeing the craftsmanship of shoes getting repaired while also listening to the work getting done. I'm subbed to many different channels for relaxing and your guys channel is one of them.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for watching! We’re glad you enjoy them.

[@sevenhornets]

Why is there a RFID strip in the sole @2:50 mark in the video ?

[@elliottsmith3632]

I don't know if other viewers would be interested in this but could you do a video of the machines that you use in the shoe repair craft?

[@jerijames2876]

wow, crisp. love those types of work boots. i worked in electric utility for 40+ yrs and earlier in my yrs the companies stopped making these types of boots for ladies. that hurt. these boots were cushiony and wore great. miss wearing steel toed boots now after being retired since 2019. you are right , this is therapeutic. thanks.

[@kevincollins4682]

Therapeutic, yes! It's so nice watching someone fix something and make it look nice, again. 😊

[@fightROSHANfight]

The first wash really removed most of the grime and mud on it. I don't get Red Wings in my country but I just ordered the Blkbrd Bulwark US10 natural CXL trek boot. This is the perfect time to buy it because the pricing on the material is increasing- and taxes- and that shoe uses US-imported leather and sole. I love vods like these. I watch Nekked Watchmaker and Wristwatch Revival. They have the same energy. That's why I got into mechanical watches and hand-welted boots. The weather is hot and humid for jackets though.

[@xxhookem12xx]

Basic? possibly. However that "Basic" repair turned that pair of shoes into a completely different looking pair. Thats how good you guys are. Goes to show the results you can achieve by giving everything you have even doing the most basic of things. Love you guys man, plz keep up the hard work.

[@donaldgreathouse6611]

Excellent! Thank you for the restoration. It certainly is therapeutic watching your videos. Much appreciated!

[@SJLamb-te3dt]

I liked this video. I probably would never go to a cobbler to have shoes completely reworked. I have visited a cobbler to get a longer life out of a well broken in pair of hiking boots that just needed a sole replacement. It was interesting to see what something I would ask for looks like from the craftsman’s point of view! If I needed an expensive fix, honestly, I would probably buy new boots. But to extend the life of a pair of boots I have at a price that costs significantly less than new boots? Totally worth it. And you get to keep the comfort of an already broken in pair of boots. Wins all around.

[@oftenwrong.]

Yep I agree it’s therapeutic. I just never thought of it like that.

[@Thee_Dr_Evil]

It started with wristwatchrevival, now I'm watching shoes being saved too. Craftsmanship isn't dead.

[@davidtatum8682]

Never in a million years did i expect that watching a dude fix a pair of shoes, clean a carpet, polish some brass, or restore a table would be so damn interesting.

[@FraldinhoBJJ]

These videos are extremely cathartic. Like legit super relaxing . I like the idea of learning about cobbling but I just figured we all liked these videos for that reason. I sit around after work or on a day like today, a relaxing Sunday before heading back to work just listening and watching .

[@TheSilentsniper1973]

It is simple in a world where there is a lot of hate and anger it's awsome to watch you do your magic.

[@HopeInChristToday]

My dad was a brick mason and wore boots just like these back in the 70's and 80's. He paid a lot of money for them and when they got wore he would have them resoled at a local boot repair store called Billy Byrds Western Store. (unfortunately it closed down years ago) I remember going with him to pick them up. They would look great just like these. Enjoyed the video.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

It is amazing how much I actually enjoy watching you transform shoes to original functionality. On a completely unrelated topic, I hope your dad is doing well these days, I haven't seen any Stormin Norman videos posted lately, and I always enjoyed his analysis of various situations. I thought surely he would have something to say about the political landscape we have these days.

[@AeonOfAwareness]

Your videos are incredibly therapeutic and have helped me me avoid many an anxiety attack. I’m about to turn 32 in October and really want to get my first good pair of Moc Toes but man they’re spendy for good quality… 😢

[@iduswelton9567]

I bought a pair of Red Wing 8" steel toe mock toe boots in 1974 at the Red Wing shoe store in my city and wore them till 1995 - I had them resoled in about 1984 - I was working for Arkansas Forestry in 1994 to 1995 and aided US Forestry in a tree count in 1995 and got my boots soaked with water inside and out side - Red Wing store said the boots were unsalvageable because they were completely soaked - but watching ur videos have shown me they could have been saved

​@danherrick5785 what company was that? I wasn't aware they were made anywhere else besides the pnw.

[@danherrick5785]

@@01tangodown We were a plant owned by LaCrosse Footwear. LaCrosse purchased Danner Boots back in the 90s. This was a Danner plant that made boots for various other brands. Whites was one of them. I actually have a pair. One boot has a Danner label, and the other has a Whites label. Same boot with differnet camo pattern and leather tanning, but same construction. When we made the Whites boots, we would use a gore-tex waterproof bootie for both brands. These booties had a Danner logo on them all. We asked Whites Boots if it would be a problem to have a Danner stamped bootie inside a Whites boot. They had no problem at all. So look inside your Whites boots, you might find a Danner label.

Another great video. I have a few questions, just for my own curiosity. 1. Is there any benefit to shoe makers glue over barge cement? 2. how long do the shoes stay in the press for. and finally, 3. why do cobbler anvils move so much, wouldn't it be easier (quieter) if the were mostly stationary with some rotation?

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

I nean it is true about your videos being therapeutic and relaxing. Its because how peoples brains are wired. Watching things start from nothing into something or seeing something all worn out be turned into something that look almost like new it's triggers those neurons in our brains. I mean have you ever sat down and watched Bob Ross paint and felt so calm and relaxed? Bob Ross is the OG of ASMR. I watch multiple channels of people build, and crafting with their own 2 hands. I watch channels like yours that fix and repairs things. A couple examples I watch a channel of a guy who's wheelchair bound with a neuromuscular disease and he creates masterpieces in the game Minecraft and theres a Polish guy who post in shop videos of his rug cleaning business. They're just so relaxing to watch while also being entertaining.

[@TrentonHeath]

[@JoeMomma-mx8ek]

I have those same boots. I’m a retired union crane operator (local 12 in Los Angeles), and worked the iron workers of local 433 & 416 the majority of the time. These are the boots they also wear. I love my boots, but the soles are the weak point for me. Sitting in the cab with my feet cocked sideways and on the throttle & swing brake, the rear right outside corners always wear out. The soles are soft like erasers. But the leather is soft & comfortable, and you can see where it’s molded around my pinky toes because I have wide feet. I just dropped them off at Red Wing yesterday to have my third set of soles put on. I’ll deal with the soft eraser soles because the boots have molded to my feet & feel like slippers. And that my friends is why people resole their boots and don’t buy new ones. How long would it take to get new leather to become one with your fat foot again?

[@John-viheavyequipment]

I agree i lost 4 fingers, and these videos are theraputic

[@thesharpercoder]

I go further than simply wiping away saddle soap. After wiping it away, there is always a little left behind. I use a different brush and give it a scrub with water, followed by another wiped down with a different dry cloth. I let it dry at room temperature for at least 48 hours.

[@TrentonHeath]

For time purposes, we don’t show everything. We also ran them under water to wash away the soap, wiped them down, let them sit for a while to dry and then brushed them with a horsehair brush.
