Beautiful work! Now remembering Mr. Hernandez, my next door neighbor in Old El Paso, Texas, growing up. He was a master boot maker at the Tony Lama factory in the 70s and 80s. He had a shop in his back yard where he made custom boots for clients. I regret not having an interest in his craft as a kid. It would have been a great experience watching him do the things you all do

This is why your business is thriving. You guys really know what to do that’s the best for each and every style that comes in to your shop.

One of the things I love about hobbies and professions are the tools. Perhaps ya'll could make a video, or series of videos, showcasing the many tools ya'll use, machines, etc.

Big fan of the cowboy boot videos. It's pretty much all i wear. I don't dance so i always glue on a rubber sole saver or buy boots with a rubber sole.

@TrentonHeath Ай бұрын

Glad you enjoy them! That’s always a great idea.

You can always tell a good cobbler when he does a half sole and you can’t tell where the seam is for years we used a small family owned place until they closed no one left in the family to take over the business broke my heart they did all of my repairs and maintenance for me and my dad

Yeah, unfortunately, more and more shops are closing each year.

Great topic. I took my old Tony Lama bison boots (which have pegs in the waist) to my local cobbler. He did a half sole and they came out great! Saved me some money too (half sole vs full re-sole).

Great work as usual, actually took my boots (Thursday Legend) and socks (yep Camel City) before I watched this; I have some Darn Toughs but they're a bit tight on the top of my foot. Camel City has worked great while working (security guard) and haven't had any wear or material issues with them (up to six pairs now!).

Looks like an old pair of Tony Lamas. One of the best pairs of boots I had was a pair which looked almost identical to those, made from kangaroo, with the lizard critters on the toe. I wore them until they had big holes in the vamp. Hated to send them off to the abyss. Fine job of bringing those back to glory. And lookity 'dat GOOD girl keeping watch over her people in the shop!

Niiiice, I agree. A half sole is just fine many times. I'll even one down you .... Sometimes a sole saver and top lift plus a spiff-up can be the way to go.

Yeah, we’ve done some videos on sole savers. Those are always a great option.

This is precisely how my local cobbler did my cowboy boots 30 years ago when I wore those regularly. Two halves and then full resole. He just retired this last year.

@mr.mr.3301 Ай бұрын

I had a pair of blue cases that I sent back to Casey. They had to do a result to repair the leather and they were too tight when I got them back. The only thing I could think of is a stretch them naturally and the skin said no more stretch available when I wear them again so I sold them off.

@durangodave Ай бұрын

i am always surprised how many different kinds of fasteners they are able to use on footware and still keep it away from the foot itself. They just basically hammered huge wooden splinters into the soul and it will never poke your foot, amazing, same goes for nails and brads when they do those, crazy stuff.

@JinsKookieJams Ай бұрын

*It's because the boots are sitting on that metal anvil. The nails and wooden pegs hit that, and curl back into the leather soles. It's why we don't feel them poking our feet.*

Hey guys, thanks for sharing this! I have never done a half-sole, but I have enough salvaged boots that I will give it a try. Just an observation that has me curious; you began sewing the welt from toe to shank. Is there an advantage to that approach? Thank you!

Every time I see you guys using that stabby tool to make a hole for sewing the welt on, I have visions of me trying that and accidentally blasting through the other side and stabbing it through my other hand.

Good to hear about half sole option. I've got a question do you, Can you repair a dress show whose toe portion that has collapse. I think it happened in my case because I wasn't using a shoe tree. If these shoes it would be great. Let me know thanks

@badblayne7 Ай бұрын

Great video just one question why dont you pull the welting off then jerk the welt thread out in one long piece instead of cutting each thread and struggle picking each thread out?

@williamhicken1206 Ай бұрын

I just love this style of boots (Tony Lamas?). If these were still made, I would snap up a pair right away. You've done your usual high quality work, Trenton and Heath, with a superb result. Thanks for the great video, guys!

Hi Dan. I have a pair of beeswax leather clarks Wallabees. I’m curious what is the best way to treat scuffs without changing the color of the leather or adding shine? I like the look of the leather and how it is more of a matte finish. They scuff easily.

Do you just use dye over the sole or do you have to add a polish on that to reduce rub off? Do you use boot stain sometimes and dye sometimes?

People's feet grow bigger even after 5 decades. My boots are now almost too tight to wear comfortably. Can a cobbler slightly increase the size of a pair of shoes or boots to allow for foot growth?

@maverickrodriguez7213 Ай бұрын

Good morning guys! I do have a question. For those that use the boots for work, will a half sole retain the same functionality of the boot? Or grime and water seep through the half sole cut, compromising the inside of the boot?

@TrentonHeath Ай бұрын

Half soles should hold up rather well, especially if they are glued well and tacked down, as we did it the video. However, if you’re using them under relatively rigorous environments, it may be better to go with a full sole.

@maverickrodriguez7213 Ай бұрын

@@TrentonHeath thank you!! I live in washington and rains a lot, i know mine will need a resole in like 4-5 months. I thought about a half sole until i saw your video and made me think about the rain. I appreciate it a lot guys!
