This is a classy little show. Big props to whoever is doing the filming. Great job

[@JPascal61]

frfrpr Ms. Brian The Bootmaker does the filming. Yes, she does a great job filming and editing.

[@bobliddell5495]

Brian you have again hit it out of the Park..... explaining the stitch “plugs” as well as the reason for the sole nails..... you have learned so well, your teacher should be proud of you! I certainly am and we have not met yet! You really make me miss doing shoe and boot repair... Your Sole Brother in Colorado Bob. 🥾

[@wt460]

I love how you went the extra mile in making the boots beautiful as well as functional. The treatment on finishing the sole and heal base to make them look better than brand new. Taking something and bringing it back to new is great, but taking a boot and making it better than it was when it was new was really fabulous. I love watching a craftsman, not just a cobbler. You are young and possibly pretty new to the craft, but you have the desire to be a true craftsman. Loving it! PS I also loved the video you did where you introduced and talked to your boss, mentor, friend. Keep up the great work and never lose the idea that your profession is a craft and to be a true craftsman you need to continue to make your work product better than brand new.

[@sabasaleh9813]

Thanks alot from Iraq.

[@Ddabig40mac]

Thanks for sharing about when to replace heel caps and resole. That customer must love wearing great looking boots, those still look very close to brand new.

[@benben8866]

Dude the effort needed to remove that cap is insane. It perfectly highlights how well the boot is made. Incredible.

[@steveledbetter5613]

Those horse RC under dogs look great. The white half soles and natural finish heels look great against the black leather. Beautiful boots.

[@jayyoung5423]

Perfection, I need a pair of your boots.

[@paulgermain4374]

Was all the Landis equipment (stitcher, finisher, sander), leather cutter/skiver, Singer sewing machine, Naumkeag and hand tools passed down to you? Seeing you use the tools and equipment brings back memories of my grandfather and father when they owned a shoe repair shop as well as myself from 1956 to 1964 before joining the Army. Keep up a dying trade and tradition.

[@danegarcia8265]

I don't have any boots that need resoling at this time, but I'm looking for a pair of used/vintage boots so I can send them to you. Thanks for the videos Brian.

[@crueljimi]

Sunday morning: coffee, 1 oz cream, 2 sugars and 1 Brian The Bootmaker vid....

[@bfettrulez6734]

That’s your routine too huh? I usually have an English Breakfast tea on Sunday instead of coffee but everything else sounds about right. Always look forward to a vid from Brian. Love watching the craftsmanship.

[@michaelpacini1332]

Wow , Brian you are a true artisan . I remember growing up in Chicago and across the alley from me was the back of a shoe/bootmaker shop . My father would take his shoes there to get repaired . The old Italian man would make them look beautiful . Not too many of those shops around anymore. People just throw their shoes or boots away and get new ones. Great video

[@DenimDarlin]

AMAZING!!! The end result was so gratifying. Those boots look more stunning with time.

[@markusayt]

Did the owner wear these boots every day for 8 months? Like the car ads “your mileage may vary” is likely relevant as some walk on cement, gravel, grass etc. Rotating boots with a day rest with shoe trees is a good strategy. Great video.

[@arnoldduran4953]

thats exactly what i do - i have work shoes, house shoes, sneakers, dress shoes, hiking boots, combat boots, dress boots. my oldest pair of boots are 3 years old and havnt wore out the heel or sole at all. But i did go through a pair of Docs in 8 months😔 leather upper ripped in several places

[@terratenientesalgo2511]

if i had those gorgeous boots i would even sleep and shower in them :)

[@eddieruiz562]

Nice good job Brian

[@dukerobinson5421]

I’m curious how you replace a half sole like this with all the stitching. It seems it would almost require a recraft with new midsole and possibly new welt. Is that correct? Maybe you already have this in another video so I’ll look for one. Thanks for your finely produced videos and for teaching us more about this beautiful craft. I love your boots 😊 and would also love to see boots made by your teacher and mentor. That would be awesome! Love you guys!!!

[@logansmith9437]

You are correct for a sole that is stitched all the way through. The point of the Goodyear welt is that it allows for the sole to be removed with the welt in tact. Unless you want to customize it, the welt is reusable and the same holes are used to attatch a new sole.

[@kagitsune]

Always a good time to assess your work, when your customer has taken it through its natural life and you can see what's working and what can be improved on. You are a true artisan, Brian. Props. ⚒️

[@ElNietoPR]

Excellent video, Brian.

[@justicefall1917]

Brother, you are not an underdog, you are top shelf!!!!

[@bigbee714]

The hat and overalls is on the money. You got a sharp look going on. Your work and technique is excellent. Big thumbs up for you from this spectator

[@PawRangerss]

*really nice boots, good video bryan*

[@MrTruthislight]

It’s Howdy doody time. Nice hat to keep the rain off indoors. Lol

[@jamesweaver9636]

So cool. Love to see someone working with their hands. You’re an artist!

[@spaceboy1967]

Hi, thx for the video. I really enjoy to watch them. When I saw you removing the sole, it seems that the guy did a good job last time 😉. I appreciate your videos. Enjoy your day. Best regards from Switzerland

[@JPascal61]

spaceboy1967 Brian makes the Role Club boots. He built them originaly. First heal recap on these boots.

[@anderssvensk4317]

Wow they look fantastic afterwards. Nice work Brian. The new color together with the old patina is a nice combination.

[@johnnybravo619]

You do amazing work bro, you're a true craftman, I would love to have some custom made steel toe boots from you...

[@secretdaisy6484]

Big improvement.The color change looks great. 👍☮️🌞🥾

[@vi77ain7s2]

Great video. Love the new way you guys shot the video. Gave it a different feel. Awesome work as always. Just received my first pair of RW8130’s. I kinda can’t wait to wear em in so I can send them to you for a resole lol. 🙏🏼

[@migui8850]

Those boots look real nice! Great fabrication man.

[@100torresm]

Great job, with just new heel caps you made them look like new boots.

[@jcruzflores2678]

Beautiful craft!!!

[@patalexander3702]

Beautiful work! You did a wonderful Video here; thank you for taken the time to teach us about boot heels! Gave you ⭐️ 🌟🌟🌟🌟.

[@secretdaisy6484]

They look like new! I really like those boots. I personally would prefer black sole & heel but I can totally appreciate them with the white. What you said about the heel height made sense. Thanks for sharing that information. I had been looking at it as an aesthetic consideration. I didn’t realize how that impacts posture and comfort. You are so knowledgeable. Maybe you might write a book sometime. That would be so kewl. 👍☮️🌞🥾

[@davidmillhollon486]

Love the idea of costuming boots good work.

[@kamildryjski8430]

Amazing top of a line work quality over quantity

[@carpenteire]

True craftsmanship, loved watching this, thanks!

[@Dukeofmamucas]

Personally that’s the beauty of a stacked heel. You can replace the cap. It’s a 40-50 repair at any local cobbler

[@flavianekellyflavinha1836]

I like your vídeos!!!! Congratulations!!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😘💗💗💗💗💗

[@rodz7910]

Curious, the safety glasses you've been using in your videos now are engineer spectacles? They look really old school. Nice work.

[@harrybrown7680]

Your RCM-42 cap toes are unbelievable beautiful

[@rockinyouallnight]

Wow! Those look great. What's the typical price range to re-heel a pair of boots? I have two pair of cowboy boots that need the heels, not the leather parts.

[@stephenlim2972]

I love watching your videos and how you transform those boots, Brian. Thumbs up from me👍👍👍👍👍

[@yacovkashi5523]

A lovely video . Thank you sweet man . Yacov from Israel

[@rockon21ful]

must be amazing to hold something in your hands that you built and someone is putting them to work!!

[@ocharejohnpaul8908]

Skilled hands bro, wish you had a branch where I live, I got boots I need to repair. I love your work

[@jaimerote3497]

This is great I used to repair shoes years ago many memories Thanks for sharing

[@donnieg.6063]

Colorado is watching, Brother!

[@WELDERMADEHEADBANDS]

Great information & video, boots are beautiful

[@abdullahal-shimri3091]

Great video. My cowboy boot heels have to be replaced too.

[@glennpettersson9002]

To hand craft a pair of boots for a person and have them come back for repair, to see that they are cared for that must be so rewarding.

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Glenn Pettersson you got that right 👍

[@chiefsquattingbull7624]

Excellent explanation, Brian. Tks.

[@robertvandergriff4212]

Love your work I was wondering how much for a pair of these boots thanks 😊

[@NomadicINK]

Sweet I guess my nicks are toast! Wore down past the rubber on the sole and heel.

[@Ddabig40mac]

They're not toast. They just need a little more work than a basic resole.

[@chriswoo4069]

Man those boots look sweet. Nice work Brian.

[@RatdogDRB]

Reminds me of my days of being a carpenter... nothing worse than having to dismantle your own work (when you KNOW how well you built something). I hated to have to change my framing when a person changed their mind on which way they wanted to go. Fine lookin' boots, love the Underdogs.

[@qwertyasd2004]

Парень, ты молодец! Классно работаешь!!! Так держать!!!

[@donnieg.6063]

You can't get that kind of attention to detail from an assembly line! Keep setting the bar, young Man!

[@nephtalilucero8084]

How much are those boots? Did nor find them on your website.

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Thank you for your interest. Please contact me via e-mail at [e-mail]

[@iulianplesa3872]

Bravooo 👏👏👏

[@wolf23ize]

Excelent work man

[@misterquintus]

Wear like that is why I always have a Blakey Number 9 set in each heel.

[@HouseGurke]

How about showing a resole of some steel cap boots? Would be interesting to know how it differs from resoling normal boots.

[@saiyajedi]

Is there a reason (apart from tradition) why the toplifts on dress shoes are only a quarter-inch as opposed to half an inch on boots?

[@psx1577]

this is awesome i love leather boots and people who are craftsmen and show there love for their craft. i just stumbled upon you videos while looking up how to properly break in and condition real leather boots and now im wondering what brand of boot you find to be the most durable and comfortable.

On on 2 years my heels but I rotate between two pairs of 👢 🥾 boots

Una sugerencia, amigo.....la otra cancion es mas relajante....la de la melodia suave y tranquila.....saludos!

[@markgonzalez8828]

I been doing imaginary shoe replacements for about 3 years. As an expert I can say this man has great technique.

Hello Brian. Tell us the story behind your hat please!

Steve Texas he has a video on his hat and overalls.

[@trentkeller1418]

I have logger boots with a solid vibram sole, how do you repair that??

[@kaasseyy1]

[@rule62live90]

How did you come up with the name "Role Club"? If you already covered this, apologies and, could you tell me in which video you did. Thanks! - Steve, Arizona

[@JPascal61]

Rule 62 LIVE Steve he does have a video on the Role Clud name. Brian typically only answers email.

[@CCela1608]

I'm thinking about trying to replace the rubber heel cap on my cowboy boots but the wooden part is worn down too, are they past the point of saving? My local shoe repair shop said it would cost more for them to fix it than for me to just buy a new pair but these boots have been through a lot with me and I'm really sad to just get rid of them

[@valdezmoses559]

@brianthebootmaker do you have any videos of how to patch hole in heel if leather boots?

[@ElConquistador24]

do you have tap rubber for replacing the soles on a pair of Corcoran jump boots?

[@audi95nasir]

Nice video👍 -Kuala Lumpur-

[@ritesideofthefence5857]

Brian, how do I get a set of Tony lama Ostrich skin boots Resoled and heels repaired and new heel caps . Can I send them to you ?

[@edyue1]

When you put the nails into the heel cap, do you ever accidentally hit the nails that are in the leather heel portion or do you purposefully align the 1st set of nails between the heel cap nail holes?

[@BrianTheBootmaker]

Ed Yue I make sure they don’t align.

[@davidharris8797]

That’s a nice sole

[@miguelssecretkitchen6158]

Nice from Miguel’s Secret kitchen

[@pedrofernando176]

Parabéns pelo trabalho 👏👏🇧🇷👍

[@Dylan-zm3ht]

Is that normal for wear for 8 months or is this person walking a ton?
