Got my first boots at 10 years old. I tried them out in 6 inch deep water and they leaked a little bit. I asked my dad how we could make them more water proof. Sunday afternoon found us at his parents house. My dad asked his mother if she had any sheep tallow handy. She brought him some, and we took it home when we left. He heated the sheep tallow on the stove, until it was like a clear liquid, and he coated my boots good. The next day at school, the children sitting next to me were complaining about a smell. The teacher came back to investigate, and asked me what the smell was. I proudly told her it was the sheep fat on my boots.

A pair of original Brasher boots from before the Berhaus etc buyouts. Developed by Chris Brasher, they were a top quality pair of boots for the time, light, comfy and waterproof at a time when a lot of boots weren't. They were a common sight all around the hills and fells of the UK. Lovely to see a pair being restored and continuing to be used.

My mother in law had a pair of pre-Berghaus Brashers and was about to throw them away because the soles were worn to nothing. She was really sad because they were the most comfortable boots she'd ever owned and she'd looked after them very well. As the uppers were in good nick I suggested getting them resoled. It just hadn't occurred to her for some reason. She was so happy that they had a new lease of life.

Looks like an old pair of Brashers - which were decent hill-walking boots BITD. The company was taken over by Berghaus who continue to manufacture Brasher's popular lines. Funnily enough, I recently had a decent pair of Zamberlans resoled with an old stock Brasher unit (Basically a stock Vibram sole with an integrated rubber rand)

Being British I remember this brand well, I don’t know what they are like now but back then they were fairly light in weight but sturdy and very comfortable, they were designed especially for the sort of trails and climate the U.K. had back then which was a lot of stone or muddy wet paths and grassland. I wore them more than my traditional Italian made boots as they were not as stiff as those boots were back then. Chris Brasher was a remarkable athlete and also co founder of the London Marathon.

They’re owned by Berghaus now. They have remained true to the styles offered by Brasher. Saying that, all walking boots use considerably thinner leather these days, partly to compensate for the goretex lining most customers insist on, and partly for weight and comfort reasons.

@@ciaranoloan6199 I gave up on gortex or other similar linings years ago as I never found them breathable at all and they add so much cost. Apparently there is a narrow window of outside temperature where they work most effectively, I’ve never lived in places where that window is greater than the other temperatures! Give me thicker full grain leather any day as when treated well I find in very water resistant and breathable without the need of such linings.

Yes your absolutely right, for some feet goretex just doesn’t work. If the humidity is high outside the boot it doesn’t work. It is prone to being pierced with the grit and dirt that gets inside boots, and if the outside surface becomes saturated it doesn’t work either. A good quality leather boot well made and well waxed will perform much more effectively 95% of the time and for a much longer time period. They are good at marketing though!

I remember when Chris Brasher Hillmaster GTX boots first hit the sales floors. £149.99. They were a great hill-moorland boot and very popular, a great alternative to Karrimor KSB which was also another great boot. Have to say I know this is an old YT-Vid but from my days of selling these boots you have done the original designer proud with the restoration, sometimes it’s not about “should you” and more about maintaining god memories for the customer. The goretex liner will have been long since died so what you have done is give back a boot that will shine! Proper job, I owned a pair and they lasted me three summer seasons of mountaineering so understand the customer wanting to restore! Awesome job, great vid and outstanding ending! From Cornwall U.K.

Sold hundreds of pairs of these. Brasher Boots, they produced a few varieties, the basic boot was around £79.99 and they went up over £129.99, they were lightweight compared to other boots in the same price range, they were designed to be a gentle fit right from the start, very little breaking in and you could pretty much head straight out on a long hike straight away. They differed from the other boots we sold by way of having a more ‘trainer’ style sole and rocker on the front section under the ball of the foot, this made them a more pleasant boot to wear on low level and easy hikes. Their major drawback was that they were not what you could call sturdy, they needed a bit more tlc and hammering them on rock scrambles or kicking them into hard surfaces would soon destroy them. They had a great returns policy so if you did give them too much stick then Brasher would sort it out. We returned a lot because people kicked the sole away at the toe. The pair you have there look like Hillmaster GTX or Trailmaster GTX. By stitching through the upper that would compromise the Gore-Tex liner, if it’s still intact, which I very much doubt. That leather looks like it needed a lot of tlc, people, look after your boots!

Dear Trenton and Heath, I am quite impressed with your work and find a lot of motivation in your videos, they are just amazing. I am from India and I have a similar pair of hiking boots gifted by my cousin's brother in 2009. The brand of the boot is called The North Face. I just wore them once. These hiking boots were used by my cousin for mountaineering purposes which he was fond of. He explored the Everest basement camp with these boots. So, immediately after his marriage, he planned to transfer the boots to me. My cousin passed away in a road accident the same year and I never wore them. However, with a twist of time, I am working on ecological restoration projects. My visits are extended to mountains, hill slopes, river bank slopes, seas, and other difficult terrains. So, I find these boots are going to be very useful. I would consider myself lucky if you could check these boots and give them restoration and I can use them.

As a few other fellow Brits have mentioned, these are a pair of Chris Brasher's! I was so envious of these growing up and couldn't afford a pair like my school mates who went hiking with me. Then one day a man at my church told me he had a pair of boots that he never wore due to them being the wrong size, and gave them to me. Of course, they were the Brasher's I had so longer for! Absolutely loved them and wore them to death! It look to me as though that was the original sole and rubber rand, possibly reglued on rather than resoled?

As a cobbler myself I love taking a shoe others reject as non-resolable and coming up with a solution. Besides the Vibram Commander type sole which I'd never seen and was amazed by due to the inset of the lugs (allowing the curved needle stitching) the leather 360-degree rand you constructed floored me. That was ambitious and I can't even imagine the hand sewing job you did. Particularly at the rounded toe area where it's hard to reach. That was amazing. Making the leather rand into a stitch down style welt was also ingenuity at it's finest. The thing that casual viewers may not realize is this is a much sturdier sole attachment than the boot had originally from the factory. Aside from the waterproof thing which as you well noted "had left the building" previously, and the denaturing of the upper leather (i.e. rot and stress cracks in unprotected leather) this boot is actually more supportive and better than ever. Very impressive job!

You did an excellent job, guys. I love the soles on the boots. The uppers look excellent I can't abide any complaints. Maybe sometime you could show us how to make a real good quality saddlebag like they used back in the day on Western movies.

Beautiful!! So neat that you used a product called dubbin. This last week I was reading a western where they mentioned using dobbin to help breakin soften waterproof some boots (in Texas). It was described as a mix of wax, oil, and tallow(beef fat). The idea was to put a fair bit inside the boot and wear it without socks till the fit was comfortable. Footwear has come a loong way!

The leather strip you made and attached is called a rand. They are common on mountaineering and hunting boots. They are normally made of rubber or synthetic material.

I love how that extra strip of leather came out on the boots. Reminds me of the modern constructed hiking boots like the Danner Crater rim's but without it being glued on rubber.

I love that used Vibram™ soles, high end footwear use them. I love the story, almost similar to mine. A nationwide department store originally known for being a shoe store redid a pair of Calvin Klein shoes that I bought at their discount chain. Inside, they are well-worn, but I am of the mindset that even though I paid little for them, I simply cannot throw them out. The repair department did such an excellent job for under $80, and I could have spent more. But what they did do was excellent, similar to what you two gentlemen do. Oh, and my shoes are brown suede. I'm now thinking of having all my shoes waterproofed to make them last; from my expensive pair of runway Prada shoes bought at an excellent sale at Neiman's, to my Cole Haan, Ferragamo and my most recent acquisition, Dr. Martens.

Based on the gentleman's mail, I think the seller was somehow old by that time. Yet, I'd love to believe he return to the UK someday and find him to show him the boots... You did your best guys! They look amazing compared to what they looked before! 💪
