30 YEAR OLD TIMBERLAND BOOTS RESTORED! // Nubuck boots upcycled

[@philbobagbox1177]

I’m on my third pair. I honestly didn’t know you could restore things like this. Great to watch as always.

[@twocansams6335]

Thing is you don't know what you will get back at some random cobbler, you might regret it and should have just bought a new pair. This guy does his advertising on youtube, shows his quality of work and knowledge.

[@And-zo8jn]

Also it would cost as much as a new pair almost. So that the reason why people mostly do full repairs on quality boots and not cheap ones

[@TheNunakun]

Any good cobbler will be able to upgrade your shoe better than factory, so it's a no-brainer. And you can customize sole colors, types, etc.

[@obscurazone]

@@And-zo8jn I would get quality boots repaired every single time over new replacements. Boots that are worn in fit you like a glove, and have a beautiful patina. New boots/shoes take years to properly break in and become "yours". Plus, why replace them anyway when they can be serviced and last many more years!

[@Nrustica]

Thanks for including the price of £160 for a full restoration. Cobbler concierge glued a thin elvis sole on my worn out timberlands for US$120. It fell off within an hour and cobbler concierge blocked my calls, I was out $120 plus possible shipping from Hawaii back to New York City. Their long turnaround timeframe prevented me from getting a credit card charge back. Swindled

The environment thanks you. There really is a lot that can be done if we just live more conscious. Repair, maintain and think about what we really need and what just takes space and gets thrown away later.

I need a cobbler of this man's incredible skill to repair my comfy worn in nubuck timbs. I've got three pairs that the outsole has detached at the toe. My timbs cost me 120 US twenty years ago, I'd pay that amount again to get them restored because as anybody familiar with work boots knows, once they're broken in you've got some happy feet.

[@drewwhite5601]

Simply amazing pal 🖐️ ,iv had mine for 21 years so not as old but I love em ,my wife's been trying to make me throw them away for years but I just can't and after seeing this I'm certainly not going to,true craftsmanship right there 🖐️

[@jgarcia1925]

Same lol. I have some that are 20 years old. Got them when I started working at timberland when I was 15. First shoes I got from them. Now I need to restore them. Too good to throw out.

[@Mass002200]

Love your channel. Timberlands are my favourite footwear, I still live in the 90's in my head. Many times iv wanted old boots repaired but the prices quoted where similar to buying a new pair. Unless they're sentimental it's not worth it. These boots cost £150 to buy and would have been £50 in the early 90's. That guy loved them boots.

[@ManBearNoPig]

These videos are some of my favorite. Not high end boots are the most satisfying to restore.

[@biddlybingdebong8959]

Probably the cheapest way to be honest. I'm all for make do and mend, but when a repair costs twice the price of a new pair, is it really the best option? Unless you have an emotional attachment to them, it's not really the best idea to pay over £100 for a repair when a new pair can be got for around £65 if you look around.

@@kris9548 Amazon, currently on there for £59.99. Google is your friend pal. You can DEFINITELY find a pair cheaper than the cost of repairing the ones in this video, even in Schuh where everything is overpriced.
