Never seen a Blake Stitched midsole acting as a welt sort of for the outsole. Really cool design! Loved the leather midsole for the heel with a cork cutout for the foot. One of the more interesting types of construction I’ve seen in a while!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! It’s called a Blake Rapid construction.

[@paulsheffield4729]

​@TrentonHeath Hi ya Fellas! Just me again. I really liked this video. It's got it pros and cons. On one hand, after a long day, the sights and sounds can lull one to sleep very easily. On the other hand, you could lose the one thing that's kept you apart from the rest, and that is the history behind the shoe or boot you're working on as well as the comical sibling rivalry that achieves the needed laughs in a stressful world. I think, keep both. The silent when you just don't have time to teach and teach when you have time. Anyways, great watching you fellas. Have a blessed week

[@jameswilkes3186]

This was a nice change. Very relaxing.

[@davebolthouse3989]

Love the ASMR style this week. Would love to see an occasional video of this style.

[@ttop64]

Despite the relaxing nature of an ASMR video I still like having things explained to me . Besides you both have pleasant speaking voices to listen to . The finished product looked outstanding as always btw.👞

[@markchizmadia2004]

You guys do exceptional work. I can appreciate the vintage machines and tools that are used in your shop. Proves those things were built to last!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! Yeah, most of these machines are at least 40 years old.

[@ek-nz]

I like both your commentated videos and these ASMR videos. I hope you keep doing both. The music was relaxing but on balance I think I prefer the no-talking videos without music as well. Great work guys!

[@golden.lights.twinkle2329]

My Dad used to have all those old hand tools, he had shoe lasts too. He would repair his shoes with kits he bought at Woolworths. You could actually buy leather or rubber soles and heels at Woolworths. The kits came with glue and a scuffer to roughen the soles. This was in the 1960s, long before internet videos existed.

[@EddyWoon]

Excellent work on the shoes as well as the production of this video. Well done!

[@TAD050486]

To contradict another poster. I enjoyed the peaceful guitar music and informative text on screen. Not all the time but this was calming... And great job on the shoes. Was surprised when you said three resoles.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! We’re glad you enjoyed it. Everyone needs a bit of change up every now and then…including us. 😉

[@jjsifo1]

I think the music was perfect , even relaxes me more.

[@hughanderson7285]

Blake and edge stitched, cool.

[@Pazman333]

That was a Great Video! Very well done! The step-by-step text description was wonderful. It was truly enjoyable to watch!! 😊

[@gregorygoldbarth7464]

Awesome video, I like the way you changed it up and use caption dialogue with the background music. The background music selection was perfect. I have no preference as I like it when you audio narrate your videos, or when you do it with no narration and audio captions with background music, both outstanding quality. Also please give my best to Forrest!😎. P.S. My sandals are arriving today🩴 Gig Goldbarth

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much! We’ll let Forrest know. 👍 We always appreciate you watching. We hope you enjoy your sandals.

[@gregorygoldbarth7464]

❤ thank you as I love doing business with you guys and your family. PS I miss talking to your mom! Enjoy your weekend!

[@davidqvist2392]

Greetings from South Africa. Love your work guys. Saturday evening viewing.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for watching!

[@joethompson79]

I don't even own shoes nice enough to resole, but I find these videos so interesting.

[@tobypainter9493]

My favorite machine that y'all have is that green one that cuts off the excess leather --- that thing is a beast ! And sounds cool too --- that one that threads is interesting too... y'all's shop in general interests me greatly.. I asked a long time ago if y'all would ever do a walk around video -- just sort of walk around and talk a little about the machines but I never saw it so that probably means that y'all are too busy or just not into it... that's cool, no worries..we just enjoy looking around when the camera pans out.. I say "we" cause I watch with my girlfriend..I wrote y'all a message about that awhile back, she's has a crush on Heath lol...anyway, we enjoy it, thanks

[@SeriousMist]

Very nice mocs here ! Of course the job done is second to none. 👌

[@smitty1952]

I really enjoyed this change in format. Not permanent I hope but a nice relaxing change every now and then.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it. We enjoy a change as well every now and then.

[@chrisensor1]

Love your ASMR videos guys. Strong work.

[@knowledgetracker]

I loved this relaxing video. Just music and watching you work was awesome.

[@pranckstyr]

I really love your commentary when you do your videos. This was a great video but when you describe the repairs and changes you’re doing, it makes it more informative. Thank you Trenton and Heath and continued success to all of you🤘🏻✌🏻

[@klausbecker4745]

2:10 for me a leather halfsole is a perfectly legitimate way to get a quick, less pricy resole and some more life out of the bottom materials instead of replacing everything right away! the old heel repair was weird though! very good job you guys!

[@throwplasticnotbutts]

I have no issue with the quiet videos and love to hear your voices. Some days are just 'be quiet and get your work done' kinda days. Thank you for switching things up and showing those too. Besides, that restoration speaks for itself! Beautiful work as always. Your competence with a dye-filled brush astounds me every time. Thank you for all the work you put into sharing. 😊

[@brianathern9154]

That's a great shoe and design for a resole. Always a fan of loafers. The difference in seeing you teardown a mickey mouse and the finished product are a testimonial to your craftsmanship and integrity gents. Yes your machines running and their patina is soothing. Reminds me of a machine shop I was a helper at in 1990. Most of the lathes, grinders and drill presses were at least 40-50 years old. If they could tell stories....

[@AHmad-pm4pb]

Wow😮. Turn out very classy shoe. 👏👏👏.

[@joaquin-jacknava2696]

Beautiful work. The music was a great touch to this pair of shoes. What a amazing video to watch on this beautiful Saturday morning. Have a good day Heath.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much! We’re glad you enjoyed it. Have a great weekend as well.

[@CallsignArchangel]

watching a master at work, plus its relaxing. great vid and they look great!

[@johncahill612]

Another work of art on a beautiful pair of loafers. Wow!

[@davidparker8920]

This presentation was so relaxing and informative! Thank you.

[@TrentonHeath]

Glad you enjoyed.

[@rogergirouard]

FANTASTIC JOB

[@johnsocha3748]

Love watching the clips. I’m a woodcarver over 40yrs. now still going strong and love what I do ,as do you ! Your work shows it . Keep it up !

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching.

[@markmilan01]

Another one! Great shoes and amazing transformation!

[@kevinorr6880]

I love the restoration process

[@datsunruss]

Wow they came out great - smashing job lads.

[@paulpietruszewski4226]

Agree with J. I enjoy the commentary. Those ended up beautiful as usual.I like the channel stitches as opposed to the hidden ones.

[@estebanblanco758]

Love this style of video. Great job on the shoes.

[@antonioalvarez303]

So refreshing to watch your program over and over again. Always a great 👍 job.

[@jamessmith6402]

Thanks for the lovely video 👍

[@georgewhite1972]

You did an impeccable job on these shoes brother 👌

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@tedhart7708]

Very nice job! That resole was pretty interesting and took those shoes over the top!👍🏻

[@alexmills3119]

With the music in the background, it's probably the most relaxing video ya'll have done. Really enjoyed the step by step.

[@TrentonHeath]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Scout4x]

My kind of video. Thanks!

[@ilseizi]

This could have been an asmr video. Very calming and no loud noise.

[@benscott1872]

Love the video! Nice

[@dsb1763]

Although I did not have my shoes resolved by Porter & Sons, what I got back was just as fabulous as what is shown here. Every shoe is a little piece of artwork!

[@Richet125]

Excellent work fellas! These shoes look so much better with the Blake Rapid construction!

[@wendellsmith1964]

Beautiful!!!

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@houseofblues1981]

Super cool shoes! Beautiful job. I'm definitely happy I woke up to this KZbin notification this morning.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! We appreciate you watching.

[@tommysmith7031]

Awesome!

[@ezopinion2767]

I dont know what it is, but i love watching these videos. You do such a great job on shoes, but i would say, i like it when you guys talk through the process.

[@stumpy2816]

Outstanding 👍👍

[@UtahSustainGardening]

I love this style of presentation, but I have SO many questions about the method of soling that need answers!

[@aaronagood]

Friendly suggestion, if using an iPhone or mobile device to film, look into getting an inexpensive gimbal stabilizer. This provides ultra smooth video capture and helps provide a more cinematic effect. Amazon has tons and Zhiyun is a great brand for this sort of thing. Cheers boys. Thanks for making videos for us all to watch.

[@p1llzhere]

Never thought that i'd be put to bed by cobblers one day. Thank you for this relaxing moment.

[@markuhler]

Nice work!

[@Miss_shoe_repair]

Nice repair!

[@clintonjones266]

I see you guys were able to find a magnetic hammer. Great job as always.

[@pattyaguirre3103]

OmgI loved it❣️❣️❣️ Your voices are great but this was Awesome

[@heywhotsgoinon8286]

Great work.

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks!

[@Arco3254]

The way you revive some of these old shoes. Ide be much happier to wear them than a new pair.

[@rodconner9079]

Pretty cool!!! Ya see it and put 2-n-2 together and enjoy the process ... Not a thing is lost. Oh, and the result is the same... but better!!! Be Safe

[@maytham236]

Big like for the mustache

[@johngrant1337]

Outstanding

[@TrentonHeath]

Thank you!

[@paul_domici]

A quiet but Beautiful video : )

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@RobBread1]

Very nice.

[@steveshipkie1624]

Good looking shoes

[@marshalloldham2905]

Really enjoyed the time that you took for those shoes😅

[@Xwisit]

Wouldn’t wanna wear these after seeing what you guys have done to em! Would put them in my home museum!

[@TrentonHeath]

Haha…thanks!

[@Just_the_Q]

Great video. I like it better when they talk.

[@woncameron24]

me too. but I still watch every one.

[@carlpaladino427]

Agreed, ASMR is so overrated

[@logicisuseful]

I think I would prefer a hybrid - some of the things that got written comments barely even needed that (especially after how many of these videos they’ve made) and are fun to watch without narration, but other things (like the comment about never having been resoled properly before) could have used a bit of in-the-moment oral explanation.

[@BOEHHO89]

I always used safety glasses when using the curved needle stitcher .

[@pinkladybikermamma3603]

GOOD JOB

[@pbernardojr]

Good job

[@user-ue4ye7nz1p]

Wonderful video. Although I like them better when you explain all that is going on during the repair.

[@joanreynolds955]

Apropos of nothing, I miss Barney’s. I wonder how old the shoes are. You certainly made them look great.

[@margueritejourdan]

Also like it better when you talk! 😊

[@myraholmes8702]

Awesome

[@slime_camp]

long live the ‘stache!

[@Bobby82568]

Nice work gents 👍🏻 I don’t think I’ve ever seen the insole stitcher used before, pretty cool. Do you guys have to make the insoles for the shoes you guys repair as well? Or do you re-use the one’s it came with?

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks! In most cases, we can reuse the same insole.

[@seijiroukikuoka5975]

I have two pairs of footwear that are Blake that I am very tempted to convert into Blake rapid. No lie, I'm tempted to send them to you for conversion. They've been collecting dust for too long.

[@a69pizzoo]

I like to hear you guys talk it up.

[@federicobertacchi273]

Uno spettacolo peccato che sono in Italia avrei diverse scarpe da risistemare e voi siete il top

[@samuelbudd778]

I love watching the two of you do amazing work on every set of shoes and boots that have come your way. First thank you for what you do and secondly thank you for doing it in a way that I can sit with my wife and children while I watch and not have to worry if you will do or say something that will contradict the Christian morals and standards that we instill in them. Thank you. Down to business... I've noticed you do not have 1 episode involving the old 1920's style mens "button boots". I have 2 pairs that I would be honored to have featured on your channel. A workman is worthy of his hire so this is not an attempt to get something for free, I'd just like to see the process done on my own special shoes... Please email me if you are interested. Thank you again.

[@harveypost1841]

When u young brothers r my age i will still b watching...SHOES OF THE CARPENTER...lincoln high done soccer ,football field now .my chair wall is gone.they hav a spot to sit at fenced entrance..went fred meyer check prices $80 pair of carhartt pants..😮..went to goodwill 2 very nice jackets but shoes were thin ..

[@briang3598]

"So, did you manage to repair my shoes?" "Well no, but we managed to build a new pair using the lining and a bit of the uppers."

[@KA4UPW]

Better than new

[@enduringhope6859]

🔥

[@lstone.09]

Awesome video. Years ago I tried wearing a pair of shoes like that. Honestly I couldn't stand them. All tho I did find a pair of Street Cars, probably one of the best pair of shoes I ever bought. Think they may still be in the closet. Heck I've had them like 20 yrs. You ever rebuild a pair of ice skates?

[@StealthFX9]

So, basically, a Blake/Rapid construction... 👍🏼

[@TrentonHeath]

You got it! 👍

[@nellof1244]

Wow

[@lucazanotta7349]

😊 VGJ!!!

[@harveypost1841]

smelling the cork on a pair of shoes way different that smelling vintage wine cork.....oliver oliver ...yes lisa..another glitch spin prayer wheel.😮😢😂

[@tonyricketts5569]

Very nice! I have noticed on my dress shoes that one corner is cut off of the top lifts. Why is that done?

[@williammarshall468]

It’s called a gentleman’s notch. It’s supposed to keep your pants from getting caught.

[@tompaciga7386]

So ELEGANT i would be afraid to wear them

[@danielnavarro8161]

Shut it, gay

[@rhino3hh]

At first I thought what an ugly shoe, but as I noticed the Patina on them they grew on me. End result was fantastic

[@DinkyPixie]

I was curious because I have seen it done on other shoes and boots that you have restored, but there was no metal/wooden shank installed, I assume they are only needed for certain shoe types?

[@TrentonHeath]

This pair had a shank built in in-between the insole. It was hidden.

[@ajbones4207]

Another Fantastic vid. I know you boys (Men) must be bored of these repairs, but I find them magical. What a great way to wake up on a Saturday Morn 👍 Thank You and Gods Blessings to you and your Families. 🙏✝

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks so much! We always appreciate you watching. God bless!

[@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.]

I really like watching your videos, and I also enjoy the voice-overs too. My question is what is the average cost to perform the repairs you performed in this video? I know every job will be different but I’m trying to decide if a resole is the route I want to follow.

[@TrentonHeath]

This particular one would be around $200.

[@mundayoreo]

A job well done on the re sole. The uppers are not my cup of tea, but nice shine.

[@sehrishehsan817]

Great work sir ❤ how to use powerful glue name please 🙏

[@OG_Jack]

Do you find that you do anything differently when recording versus a "standard" repair?

[@TrentonHeath]

Yes, we’ll often add in some extras when videoing so that you folks can see different things. Most every day resoles can become mundane.

[@mjay4700]

@ 14:45 Is that a piece of welting strip leather that's driving the buffing machine as a pulley/belt? Looks like it.
