WHITE'S BOOTS | Customer Wanted a NEW Look

[@TrentonHeath]

Thanks for watching! Hope y’all enjoyed the video. Don’t forget to check out our dad’s new channel where he discusses all things military related. We hope you’ll enjoy it and subscribe. -> kzbin.info/door/eKxBLGSJRHJBexSqyJ0k2A

[@bquick80]

Subbed. Thank you guys!

[@thewizardsofthezoo5376]

Mate you did a fantastic job, but the customer is a moron, white have that special 4 way stitch techniques and nails and screw for durability, why didn't he wait then have them redone, and the cuban hell gets the chicks, the MP heel ones makes your boot invisible. I need a wedge sole nick to be turned into what he just destroyed. I am getting addicted to the big arch

[@1mooseman]

Finally! For the first time ever on KZbin someone has actually made the proper “rolled welt”!!! Congratulations on your professionalism. Every other whites resole video changes them to a simple stitchdown or changes them to a goodyear welt. (And they don’t actually mention this in their videos. Only sharp eyes notice.) Thank you again for showing and using the rolled welt/holdfast design that has worked so well for whites for such a long time. Well done!

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

them whites look well made from the tear down , worked for that one . very nice

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Each pair of Whites is hand made to order in Spokane Washington. They are expensive, but worth it

[@thewizardsofthezoo5376]

I don't even get what the big change was, cuban heel to a normal one, was it necessary to restitch the whole lot?

[@asterisk606]

@@thewizardsofthezoo5376 It's all because the customer wanted a single stitch instead of double.

[@kylekristiaan]

It should be obvious that the elegance and humility of the son comes from our fathers. That being said, I encourage all to check out and subscribe to Norm's channel. As a combat veteran I believe we should support our Vet's and the older generation so we can bridge the gap of the devide. As for the boots, it was a matter of taste, style, and preference; which I agree the heel block and double stitching was too busy for the over all construction of the boot. Which is simply a matter of how you view your confidence in public. Thank you Norm for your sacrifice and service to this "Great Nation ", and for raising two outstanding gentlemen.

[@drew20238]

Really interesting to see how these were constructed. Amazing how many ways there are to put a sole on a boot. Great to meet your Dad and best of luck with his channel!

[@567jmr6]

Beautiful craftsmanship as always. Great video, especially the heel stack process. Like others, I question the customer's sensibilities, but the craftsmanship is unquestionable!

[@ducariusrex]

This one left me scratching my head confused 🤔

[@TrentonHeath]

Us too. 😁 The customer basically wanted a single stitch instead of the double row stitching (which meant a lot of work to make it look good), and he wanted a different style heel block.

[@thomasroy5833]

Money to burn.

[@MemphisCorollaS]

Who knows, maybe he got them as returns for a huge discount, thus wasn’t able to customize them, and it was still cheaper to pay T&H to customize them like this than to buy a whole new sets of White’s boots. That must be what White’s calls their hand-stitched down construction offered only on select models. Cool video

White's have unique a way of doing their bottoms. It's basically stitchdown but with a welt around the top of the side uppers. I guess what the customer had in mind was an MP but he bought a Cruiser.

[@cesardejeronimo8184]

Could it be that it is a C350 Cruiser? I thought the C350 Cruiser is a hybrid but the Original Cruiser is a true stitch down, hence why it costs $100 more.

The after boot looks better, than the original White boots and better than any you whites boots I have ever seen. I hope one day White boots can make boots for walking that looks this amazing!😊🥰

Crazy much BETTER the boots look after it was done. Vey minor changes but huge difference in looks, I think the client will be thrilled the first time he puts them on.

[@vaanes]

I bought some products from you guys a year ago and the shipping was quick. There was a small mistake in the order but a kind lady in customer service immediately rectified the situation. I’ll definitely buy boot care products from you again and I strongly recommend that viewers choose to buy from you guys.

Thank you very much! That was probably our mom that you spoke to. 😁

[@jonkomatsu8192]

Great to meet your dad! Really enjoyed his chat with Mr Freeman. Hats off to all the vets, like he and your Dad, for their service. 👍 And great work on the White's boots. Yes, would also prefer a standard vs a "logger/cuban" heel. But man, would love to afford a pair of White's boots in general! Oh well, I still dig my Beckmans. Happy weekend to all! See ya! 🤙🥾🤓

Shoe and boot construction techniques have always been interesting to me and you two really go out of your way to explain the different types or styles of construction. Much admiration for your expertise and knowledge!

[@rodconner9079]

Great to see that guys!!! That was AWESOME and Enjoyable! Honestly --- Finally to see a "construction" that matches my thought (or "closest" to!) focusing on comfort and durability. Now, of course, my thought probably only goes that far due to this channel (fact!). You guys have a gift and have turned it into success upon success, demanding as it may be! The educational factor alone is nearly priceless. I do appreciate what you guys continue to put out!!! Be Safe

I've been hooked on your channel since the first episode I watched. Very instructional, very informative and very entertaining. The 105 year old lady's boot restoration was extremely interesting and one of my personal favorites. Keep up the good work and my best to your Dad. I was Air Force as well. Weapons controller on EC-121 AWACS out of McClellan AFB in Sacramento. and one tour in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War controlling air to air refueling and B-52 missions.

[@2001redz28]

WOW!!! They truly look like a different pair of boots. The switch from double to single stitch as well as the different shape on the heel is a huge improvement!

[@bobbyb6012]

Old school channel welt/stitchdown hybrid. Nice. Great job. Must be nice working on some boots that are basically new and not half destroyed! I prefer the new look as well. Don't know that I would have ever purchased them as they were originally constructed though!

[@Lmolina90]

Great job as always guys. Not that I can afford Whites of Nicks boots but I have to say I really prefer the look of the straight block heel to the woodsman or cuban ones you often see in those brands. Its cool to hear your dad has a channel. I grew up on the stories of my grandpa "Storming" Norman who was in the Army Corps of Engineers during WWII.

[@Snugglez187]

I think that was a big aesthetic improvement on those boots. I love stacked leather, and I don't like the look of logger heels. I like the thicker midsole too. I'm a sucker for thick leather soles. I love my double oak dress shoes.

[@JM-bl3ih]

colossal waste of money

[@567jmr6]

But would you buy beefy robust logger boots just to turn them into dress shoes? I think that is what has people miffed. Why not buy decent boots and pay for an upgrade oppose to buying the wrong boots and paying for a downgrade? (Aesthetics not withstanding)

[@arsenicmickey2206]

Oh, heck yeah! Trenton & Heath's dad!? Awesome! I'll definitely check his channel out.

I'd like to get my White's done like that. They used to be my go-to boots but they feel like the leather shank failed. I'd like a steel shank, and the heel angled forward just a bit, plus going to a single stitch. Nice work fellas!!

[@TamboTech]

Nice to see what good construction looks like. Impressive video, if for no other reason than to get a good education. 👍

[@RatdogDRB]

Very interesting hybrid construction. Never seen that style. My eye fancies the new welt stitch line, the height of the new heel, but I like that logger heel shape more than the walking heel shape. Great lookin' boots, finely done remake. Whites are a great boot.

Hey Trent and Heath! I love your vids! Perhaps for us newbs, could you guys add typed description layovers to each step.

[@calebleftin7048]

I just got a pair of used black Strands and the leather is a bit uneven, I used saddle soap, conditioner, and then some black cream. There are some duller spots, mainly. Do you have any recommendations? They are fairly new, just not new to me, but are still fairly stiff compared to my 5th aves that I’ve had for about a year, so not even quite broken in. Will the leather finish improve with time or is there anything else I can do? Sorry for the ramble.

[@banditone00]

Caleb, you might try Elegant Oxford. His channel is totally dedicated to shining shoes, and strands in particular are his favorite.

[@SNELLERIZED]

Could you not have simply sanded the sole narrower in order to remove the first row of stitching and then only replaced the heal block?
