I was just talking to my dad about how you guys will rebuild your boots and then I stumble upon this video. I've been trying to let as many people know about Your guys boots. My builder pros have helped my over all lower body pain almost go away completely, The medium arch was the right choice in my case. Looking forward to my ND1 pair

[@themotorcycleguy5980]

Shoes shouldnt have arch support. That's the problem with everyone posture, stride, and pain. People for thousands of years went barefoot or had very thin shoes and people actually used all the muscles in their feet and the natural arch is there for a reason. Idiots just thought in the late 1900s it be good to make shoes that have you angled up facing forward and screw your natural stride up thinking it would be better lol. They was wrong

[@Spheregrid2]

@@themotorcycleguy5980 I have fallen arches, so having a boot with arch support helps in my case. But I see your point

[@RockandrollNegro]

First off, humans have been wearing protective covering over their feet since the dawn of mankind. There were never groups of humans who walked barefoot their entire lives. Second off, when people began living past age 40, they realized that they needed better foot support in order to not be crippled in pain at age 45. This is why we have arch support, raised heels and rubber outsoles.

Beleza de trabalho! Profissão do meu avô. Era um designer. Abraço desde Porto Alegre Brasil

[@nickgentry6790]

As a " Nick's Boots" owner, they will not replace the upper for a few reason, if it is a custom fit, the upper is specifically measured to your foot. Second, the upper has stretched to fit you. They can not just "replace" the whole boot. Third is the cost. To have them rebuilt costs 200 to 250, depending on the style of boot. Fourthly when you purchase a pair of boots like these, they will last you a life time if you take care of them properly. The pair of Nick's that I own have been resolved once and are due for a nother, typically they will last 6 to 8 years before needing a rebuild. But it also depends on what you do in them. The more you abuse them the faster they wear out.

[@kunsamasan]

And here I was thinking if the boots are basically being remade it's best you buy a new one

[@nickgentry6790]

@@kunsamasan nope there is no need to buy a new pair every time they need to be rebuilt. This design of boots have been around for possibly the last 100 years. Not much has changed with design except the introduction of the "vibram" sole. Typically the sole on these boots are flat with a lil tread. Before the use of rubber, the entire sole was made out of leather. These boots are designed and built to last the wearer a life time, as long as they are properly cared for. Cleaning any and all mud off, as mud will pull moisture out of the leather and will cause damage over a shorter time. Just like with our skin we put lotion on it to keep it soft and flexible. The same goes with the leather in the boots, you keep them oiled and clean they will stay flexible and soft. I wear my boots every day, and the days that I don't wear them I can tell and feel the difference in my feet and calves. If you get a custom fit boot, the break in time is 2 weeks, depending on who tells you what a mixture of 50/50 water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, when you first wear them for the first 2 weeks spray on the 50/50 mix as much as possible, this will help break in the boots to forum to your foot and ankle. Afterwards I would then oil then up till the leather can not take anymore oil. Obenauf's heavy duty lp is the brand I use, I will not use anything else, all other "boot oils" have petroleum in them and can cause damage to the threads and leather. Remember you want to replace the natural oils that were in the leather with a natural boot oil, and Obenauf's is the only natural boot oil on the market.

[@SuperFlowback]

@@kunsamasan why would you want to buy another pair for $600-700 when you can have them rebuilt for $200-250? Plus, there’s almost no break in time with a rebuilt boot. These are not throw away boots, these are life time boots and most of the time their handed down to the child or to someone else and they’ll wear them their whole life

Reminds me of the carpenter who used the same hammer for 50 years. He replaced the handle 5 times, and the head twice, but it was still the same hammer!

Very skilled.. I really enjoyed watching what it takes to make a boot. I only saw a little part of leather on the boots that was saved. All the rest was new. That's a new boot with part of the old leather is all.
