Viberg Boot Resole | Train Conductors Boots Get a Makeover

[@GBArthur]

The last time these boots had soles put on they started separating within a few weeks, this time they aren’t showing so much as a line between the layers. In the past couple of months they’ve been subjected to walking on miles of ballast, wading through flood waters, freezing temps, high heat, diesel and gawd knows what else laying in a rail yard, working cattle with all the substances and forces associated put on them and the soles are still as tight as the day I pulled them out of the box! You gentleman do outstanding work!!

Love your work boot restorations! Our country is built and maintained by the hard working folks who wear these things. Having had several jobs where sturdy footwear was required, I know how valuable a great cobbler can be for keeping workers on the job in their favorite boots. I've always purchased high quality footwear because my Dad taught me this saying. "Your feet will take you everywhere you go for the rest of your life, never buy cheap shoes." He will be 100 in October, and his feet have done just that. To this day, he does not have any foot problems.

The old adage is, “you can tell a good conductor by the wear on his boots.” Being an engineer I just chuckle at the conductors that have yet to figure out that Caterpillar boots from the local Big Box store don’t hold up. Yes, my boots cost me over $600 but the comfort I get and knowing that all I’ll need is a resole job to get me through my career, is more than worth it.

Older military boots had a steel plate inside the sole. They called them spike or pungee resistant.

[@American_Jeeper]

Heath, you are 100% correct about the steel plate. The Army green jungle boot had a stainless steel plate in the sole, starting in 1966, to prevent punji stakes from impaling Soldiers' feet. The drawback, at least in my experience, was that you couldn't comfortably wear them in colder weather, because your feet got colder....my theory is that the steel plate conducted the cold, but it could just be that the nylon canvas on the boot just couldn't keep the heat in.

@John the jungle boots I'm referring to are Vietnam-era boots, black leather lowers with OD green fabric uppers and very large lugs in the sole.
