Red Wing Classic Moc Refurbishment | Total Boot Makeover

This pair of Red Wing Classic Mocs was mailed to us for repair. These boots were in very rough shape and definitely needed some love. After a complete resole and some thorough conditioning, this pair of Red Wing boots is good to go. Time for another restoration!

"I was going to pay $300 for a new pair of boots, but I had my old ones spiffed up for $375!"

Friend, in my 67 years on this Earth I have never seen that done..thank you for showing me the work you done..

I know I'm getting old when I find videos like this therapeutic.

As a former shoemaker who used to work by hand with only a tredle sewing machine for stitching uppers (all welts and soles hand sewn) and the proud owner of 4 pairs of Redwings now over 30 years old (the boots, not me!) I truly enjoyed this level of care and skill.

You are a true craftsman! Boot repairs like this are worth every penny of cost, since you're investing your educated work experience and knowledge in the repairs! Our society needs to think in terms of more of a repurposing mode, instead of throwaway, to save our planet.

My father had a shoe repair business in our garage back in the late 60's early 70's. My job was the initial cleaning and then the final buff. condition and shine. I still have a couple of the shoe horns i used to use. we had a huge belt driven 7 station buffing and grinding machine, the stitcher and presses. I loved going to the supply store every other saturday morning to restock the shop. loved the smell of leather and soles in that place. This brings back so many memories, wish i could teleport back to those days just to spend more time with my father.

I loved watching you restore these boots. It's wonderful that the owner didnt just throw them away. Thank you.

America has a wealth of benchmark artisans in many fields, far more interesting than politics any day, I must say. Despite rampant consumerism everywhere, America is showing/leading the way in maintaining and restoring practical, useable old things, rather than throwing away and replacing with new. Of all the restoration shows I've watched, yours is amongst the most skilled and satisfying to watch. From Aus.

Seeing those boots reminds me of my Granddad. He went to get a new pair of Redwing boots and had sticker shock when the sales lady told him they cost $200+. My mom said he looked at the lady and pointed at his old ones and stated "Those only cost me $35!!" "When did you buy them sir?" "1935!" The sales lady made a phone call and offered him $100 for his old boots so they could put them on display, with the racoon skin laces that were in them. He accepted and wore the new boots till the day he died.

I can almost hear the boots say thank you.

It's a shame the world has gone disposable , nice to see old school craftsmanship like this ! Wonderful job sir , hat's off to you...

[@Mainbusfail]

I learned cobbling from 2 Navajo brothers. They were amazing to learn from. This is a skill set craft that should be handed down to those who want to learn it before it becomes lost in the fold.

[@undercrackers56]

I really salute you sir. In this age of disposable everything you keep these amazing skills alive. I believe that if we all bought less, bought better and repair goods as much as we replace them, then the environment would be much better off.

[@jonathanr6143]

Something soothing about watching a repair done with this level of craftsmanship.

[@Juliobrem]

I’m 137 years old and I have not see a craftmanship like this ever in my life. Greetings

[@frankie5072]

I have nothing but respect and admiration for craftsmen/women who bring back to life that which was dead. Or just artisans making beautiful creations with their bare hands.

[@kevinstewart4579]

I love the way that Trenton says "there's not a whole lot that we're going to be able to do for the uppers", but then proceeds to refurbish the uppers superbly, restoring colour and condition!

[@jl3390]

OMG, I have not seen cobbling craftsmanship like this in 40 years! Thank you so much for keeping your art alive!
