Looking at the comments it's disappointing how negative people are. The bottom line is a person acquired a pair of Role Club engineer boots (maybe he bought them second-hand?) and needed them re-lasted and re-soled to fit perfectly and this master cobbler executed a complex process flawlessly. This is what cobblers are for! What should he have done? Thrown the boots in the trash? Spend another $2,600 and wait 2-3 years for another pair of RCs? Try to sell them (which could take months)? Or he could have them re-lasted and re-soled and get the fit he needed. Many cobblers would either be too scared or unskilled to execute a job like this or would try to take advantage of someone and charge an exorbitant amount of money for a re-last and re-sole. This video is a gem and a prime example of a master cobbler at work.

Smh, it must suck to pay Role Club pricing for an engineer pair and RC still got the sizing wrong, let alone the wait time for delivery.

I mean, the guy's foot could have grown or changed in the time it took to get the boots made in the first place. Or he just got it wrong as I've read is happening lately.

I really like watching the lasting process

Dang that's quite the project. It looked challenging to hit the old stitch holes on the upper with all those rows of stitching. I'm curious why the customer opted for a relast...to get a better fit?

Yes, when we relast something we are taking a new last and building it up with leather to the customers measurements for a better fit.

that crease down the middle of the vamp would drive me crazy, or does it smooth out over time with wear ? @@UnsungHouse

I really wonder if Brian got the sizing wrong or if the buyer didn't know how to properly size and submitted the wrong size. Better yet, I bet someone got a deal on them and bought them from someone and had them resized.

Yeah I'm not understanding why they just didn't sell them and start over, the boot basically isn't even Role Club any longer. They look unworn too. Could've sold these for 100 bucks cheaper (prob would've sold quickly given wait times unless they're an odd size) instead of what I assume paying an extra 500+ dollars for this job. Look nice and all but I imagine just commissioning Unsung to make the whole boot would be cheaper than all this, but money doesn't seem like an object here. To each their own I guess.

What's a waste. Paid that much for the design and craftmanship and now wanted a re-lasted ???
