I have a pair of Origin boots made in Maine they are stitch down and I can't find anyone to resole them. Thank You

[@MsSamareh]

Tell them to make toe socks

[@ryneduren5048]

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.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much.

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

[@edafade]

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.

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Good thing i was reading the comment section and i was going to say almost the same thing or even a backscenes life

[@donaldgreathouse6611]

Yes! That's a great idea!

[@travr6]

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]

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

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Thanks for explaining the half soles. Have a great weekend gentlemen.

[@TrentonHeath]

You’re welcome. Thanks again for watching! Have a great weekend as well.

[@chadduplantis8591]

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

[@TrentonHeath]

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

[@davidcarr7436]

I'm amazed that with all the blades, needles, punches, awls, and hammers you use, your fingers are in as good shape as they are. Watching the channel from Canada

[@ChrisMedici]

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).

[@saxman7131]

I love wing tip boots. I have a pair of Tony Lama’s. You did a great job.

[@ml8067]

Experience matters! I love that idea. Given im not a cobbler but that is brilliant

[@soona9209]

Nice job,boys☺ and I'm surprised,that your dog was so calm in that noise😊

[@AileenPringle-v3m]

You’re great at explaining things!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

Outstanding Video Guys and a lot of good info I really did not know resoling Cowboy Boots were that Technical to repair Take care and enjoy your weekend

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! We appreciate you watching.

[@durangodave]

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.

[@andypritchard6243]

I love those boots and wow, what a super resole. Not sure I could wear these here in the UK but hell, they are superb.

[@RatdogDRB]

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!

[@hyrot1]

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.

[@TrentonHeath]

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

[@getwhtugiv]

Great decision. The boots look fantastic.

[@brianathern9154]

Great video and the walk through explanations. Again, wouldn't trust my footwear to anyone else at this point. Annie looked away like "I always hate the buffer and sander so I can't watch " 😅😅😅😅😅

[@storminscellar7207]

Awesome job! Hope people realize how much they safe with a half sole!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks!

[@sandyj1561]

Beautiful work on Beautiful boots

[@anklexpress]

what up Annie Oakley!

[@darrellhendrix5502]

Nice video, good information. Still hate cowboy boots.

[@ttop64]

Enjoyed seeing the process of applying a half sole to a pair of boots. You must have removed the top lifts prior to the video . Those are some smokin' 🔥 boots btw.

[@thelostcaboclo]

Very nice work !

[@paul_domici]

Those are to beautiful to wear now : ) Great Job!!!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@TheMrBeezley]

I have some fairly unique carpe diem boots that I want to send in for a full resole and leather half sole. Probably would make a cool video!

[@TrentonHeath]

Please send an email with some pics of the boots to [e-mail]

[@williamhicken1206]

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!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you! Yep, you guessed correctly…Tony Lama.

[@kittatinnytree]

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!

[@bagelbandit6076]

Could you do a breakdown of the different options and prices for boot work? I got a little confused on all the options on your website.

[@ditherdather]

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.

[@adamdavis7520]

Love these guys!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much! We really appreciate you watching.

[@roccotarulli2464]

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

[@jvc3312]

Beautiful job, but just out of curiosity, why didn't you use Vibram cowboy heels?

[@rodconner9079]

Things to appreciate!!! How often does the waist get broken down in a pair of cowboy boots!?! I'd say not often! Commonsensical/logical approach for sure! Be Safe

[@duanelawrence78]

They look beautiful!!✌️🇺🇲

[@mr.mr.3301]

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.

[@TXCrafts1]

Very helpful video. Probably not the best place to ask but I have a pair of boots that needs the inside lining replaced, do you guys do that kind of work?

[@Just_the_Q]

Loved the video

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for watching!

[@harveypost7799]

Yippy yi yo ki eh 🤠 🐴

[@HeathLCK]

My name is Heath and I too, have a Liver Roan GSP.

[@georgepretnick4460]

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?

[@tuckerdavis3308]

I have some ostrich leather boots. What cleaner & conditioner do yall recommend?

[@maverickrodriguez7213]

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]

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]

@@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!

[@Mike----]

Very cool

[@Wish1771]

What brand is the cream you used instead of the saphir?

[@siredhorselangmalakas6331]

that half sole connection will separate or break when you step into rocks

[@frankgonzalez3822]

Can you make cowboy boots smaller if they are too large ? Size 11 to size 9 or 9 1/2 ?

[@71wicker]

What kind of thread are you using on the welt?

[@JeffreyStrader]

My grandsons Tomcat used my boots as a scratching post. The toes are all scratched to hell!...😡

[@TrentonHeath]

Ugh…that’s not good! Pets can do a number on leather boots/shoes.

[@TXCrafts1]

Tell me about it, I had the same thing happen to a pair of vintage Marlboro brand boots I own

[@brianathern9154]

Yep. My tabby boy Sherman did some work on my Redwings. I was able to minimize some of it after watching these brothers restore old cracked leather work boots. They look better but the cat really gave them hell.

[@TheRainmanBachelor]

Did the customer request a dark edge dressing?

[@larrycarson6584]

How's order number 19813 coming?

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

You don't have to resole if you glue on a sole saver. I got 10 years out of a pair with hard use and then the shank popped through the inside...

[@TrentonHeath]

Very true.

[@daveg686]

🖖

[@Just_the_Q]

[@JeffreyStrader]

Those boots don't even need new soles!

[@TrentonHeath]

They really didn’t. It’s up to the customer though.

[@tonymonastiere8510]

Halfsoles, hmmmmm. Isn't that what is ruining our country today?! That could be interpreted in so many ways...thnx guys! 💯🗽🇺🇸

[@lenzielenski3276]

I'd sooner cut off my feet than wear a cowboy boot. Unless you actually ride horses for a living. I won't wear a hardhat either.

[@thewhiteelephant]

Congratulations, no one cares.
