Red Wing Classic Moc Refurbishment | Complete Boot Makeover

This pair of Red Wing Classic Mocs was mailed to us for repair. These boots were in relatively 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!

After watching all of the videos that these gentlemen have produced, and seeing the care and attention that they put into their restorations, I decided to check out their line of sandals. I am happy to report that the choice of materials and craftmanship that they have displayed in their videos is highly evident in their sandals. So in addition to all that I have learned about shoe construction and care along with the hours of enjoyment watching these gentlemen work, I have shoes from them that are of exceptional quality and I felt compelled to give their products a shout out. Great video as usual. Thank you for sharing.

Darrell, thank you so much for all of your kind words!

To me the refurbished boots are so much better than the new boots. They have such character and charm.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

I love Daniel Craig as James Bond too. To me, he was the first Bond since Sean Connery who looked physically strong enough to do the stunts. All the others looked good in a tux, but were just unbelievable when it came to the fights. And then, Connery and Craig also looked good in a tuxedo… the whole package!🐝❤️🤗

[@RaphYkun]

Tbf a tux is supposed to make you look good. Not the inverse. But they both definitely had the physicality needed for the close quarters fights. Maybe why 90s bond was gadgets and judo chops.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

@@RaphYkun All the Bonds looked good in a tux, but only Craig and Connery could pull off the fights! Yeah, maybe that’s why there were so many gismos for all the others. They needed the props to be even somewhat believable in the fights.

[@pablorages1241]

Oh No ... Timothy Dalton was much more Bond than Craig ... he's WAY to politically correct

[@kevinstewart4579]

The conditioning and cleaning of the uppers makes a world of difference to these! Top-notch work. guys! Incidentally, I've been a 007 fan for years, and I think that Daniel Craig has left some very big shoes to fill - his work was incredible!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you! Yep, we totally agree. He did an outstanding job.

Love this makeover! I have a couple pairs of the Roughneck's with the Vibram sole and I'm really happy with them. I also have the christies on a pair of Thorogood. I just prefer the classic vibram lug style OTHER THAN being in Arizona, the landscaping rocks in my front yard are the right size to constantly get embedded into the lug treads, so I'm always picking them out. haha.

[@otacon72]

Love the work you do. Great vid as always. I’ve seen all the bond movies probably 30 times each and it takes a lot to surprise me. The ending of No Time To Die shocked me. There’s so much to say but I digress. Looking forward to the next movie and video.

Those boots look great. Just got myself a pair of Red Wing Sawmills with that chunky lug sole for the winter.

I make puppets at home as a hobby, and use some of the same glues and materials you use. I made masks during the pandemic in my shop last year, and I haven't been able to go into it since last year; it brought up memories when I did, so I've stayed out of there. Watching your craft, the care you put into your work, the quality of it, something about this video moved me to go in there, clean it up, and start working again. Y'all are inspiring, to me at least.

Connery and Dalton who was much closer to Fleming's book character: ie grinding teeth, worn down, etc. I have a pair of 1970s Sears and Roebuck mocs that my cobbler replaced with Vibram lug soles. Only $64, but he did not replace the midsole, just glued on the soles.

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Just two words for ya: Hot cork! 🤓 As for Bond, the film was the number one topic of discussion at work on Friday, very much anticipated. But back to the boots, I have never been interested in moc toes, primarily due to the cristy crepe soles. But really diggin' those mocs with the lug soles. Miles and miles of solid wear ahead for the owner. Great job, sirs! Great weekend to all! 🤙🥾

Thank you very much. A great weekend to you as well.

[@jonathanperez4762]

Great videos so satisfying to watch thank you 🙏 also had a question have you ever messed up a pair of boots while working on them

[@markrodcpa]

I'll be sending you my Whites Perry's (with the Christy soles) when they need to be resoled. Enjoy your videos. Thanks. Oh, it's Sean Connery for me, grew up watching Sean with my Dad. I do like Daniel Craig also. Cowboys and Aliens is a great film.

[@thesharpercoder]

I definitely love 007. I have actually seen all of the Sean Connery films during their original releases in theaters. I own a pair Red Wing Sawmill, which have the same Vibram lug sole. They are very comfortable. I plan to resole my 875s with it when the time comes. [EDIT] Almost forgot. Hot oatmeal is served up at 4:45. It’s been a while.

[@ttop64]

Good morning guys. The new soles definitely give these moc toe boots a different look and as you said will last a lot longer than new Cristy soles would. I also like the fact that you left the leather on the heel and mid sole natural instead of staining it black. It gives the boot a more rugged look imo. Have a great weekend.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@tommahnke]

Grew up on Roger Moore, still love Live and Let Die, I watch it now and see how hokey it was but Daniel Craig is super cool I put him in the same league as Connery.

[@tonybickel2000]

Living in the UK has allowed us to see the Bond film earlier. What a final film well worth the wait. My suggestion is to watch a recap of all Daniel Craig Bond film before watching it as I had forgotten about most of the story lines before watching this one.

[@DwightMS1]

I loved Goldfinger, which was the second Bond film. That was the one with Sean Connery and the Aston Martin with all the weapons. It came out in '64. All of us Americans were fascinated with all the high-tech stuff, real and fantasized. Too cool for school. We thrilled at all the new ideas. They've made good Bond films since that one, but none have had the impact on me like that first one. And I bet a lot of other old farts feel the same. I remember the actual Aston Martin they used in the movie was for sale at a nearby sports-car dealership about 30 years ago. It had some of the weapons you saw in the movie still installed in it: the oil slick, the ejector seat, etc. But I don't know about the machine guns. I think they'd be a little illegal.

[@actionwindowanddoor5689]

I’m telling you gents, that pair of boots on display at Neiman Marcus or Nordstrom it would fetch $1,000.00! I love the classic red wing moctoe but that Vibram sole makes it larger than life, kind a like Daniel Craig as James Bond! As always, another good video, and awesome editing. Keep up the good work.
