I TRANSFORMED these RED WING Moc Toes! | TOTAL RECRAFT

[@fraa888grindr6]

Essentially, you've turned a work boot into a dress boot. Excellent job!

[@wt460]

I have literally watched hundreds of videos on shoe repair and reconstruction. Yours ranks with the very best. Very very few of the shoe repair places are truly craftsmen like you! Very much enjoyed the piece!

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

Wow, thank you!

[@dcstiger]

I can attest to their focus on getting every aspect right. I've had multiple pairs done by Wyatt. Their attention to detail is second to none.

[@Rhinokustomz928]

Love the 270 look on these. Really dresses it up

[@telemarktumalo6978]

Yet another master class video. My hat off to your videographer as well. Your production quality just gets better with time. Well done!

[@jeremy7565]

Boots that can be revived over and over again with great repair techniques should be passed down to future generations.

[@MMM88X]

Yes, removing the toe box, making them more unstructured and thus leading to toe collapse, which is an attractive look for some folks. Fantastic job as always. Cheers.

[@eddiebyrd1851]

I started working with Tony on a few boot projects after subscribing to this channel and I am very excited to see the final projects in the near future. This video was one of my favorites as well as the one Tony did on the Urban Loggers. So, I decided to send Tony and team 2 pair of brand new Moc boots for a similar project the same as this video and one for the Urban loggers! After my initial conversation with Tony, I felt extremely comfortable that I made the right choice to go with his Craft! What a true professional!!!! He is definitely someone you can trust and work with. All the way from Houston, Texas......

[@peterhallock9486]

I'm not a boot person, but have always liked the alpine color. Loved the combo of colors, wonderful recrafting and great video 🥰 thankyou so much !!!

[@bradleythomas5445]

Cobbler Steve from Bedo’s Leatherworks just gave a shoutout to Cobbler Tony and Cobbler Tobias on his KZbin channel. He needed some oversized Dr. Sole heels and half soles for a project (size 13 EEE) and you both came to the rescue! Cobbler Tony used Dr. Sole heel blocks on my 1000 Mile re-craft a couple of years ago. I wear a size 15 boot, so the Corded heel block was too small. Tony upgraded my boots with a Dr. Sole heel block (at no charge I might add). I love the respect fellow cobblers give each other. Looking forward to your next project!

[@eleven.eastgate.twelve967]

Moooooove... Master Cobbler Tobias in action! BOOM transformation, and thanks for the outstanding recraft (toe box removal/dogger heel) you did on my Beckmans!

[@CobblerTobias]

❤

[@spec-fx1]

Very nice transformation / upgrade of these boots, excellent attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, they look 100% better now. I agree with the owner, dropping the toe bump is a great look and big improvement. It would be very interesting to hear from the boot owner about the fit and comfort difference / improvement after they have had some time to wear them.

[@EvilMonkey21]

Alpine is currently available with black wedge sole. I prefer The wedge sole. I stand and walk a lot and find wedges are much easier on my back. I agree, they do look great and he did a fantastic job.

[@tr_vmi4844]

I love the split sole. Looks fantastic!

[@ValerieJohnson-i5n]

Stunning craftsmanship makeover!

[@kittatinnytree]

I actually said wow at the final product. That boot looks amazing. Nice work and I have to say your video production team whether it's you or somebody else to a killer job. Great music. Nice warm color. Everything was done super professionally man. Nice work! Can't wait to dig through and watch some of your other videos

[@darrinbisson8914]

Damn these are the perfect mix toe with that sole! Beautiful!

[@bigbluemsp]

At first the toe structure i wasn't ok with. After seeing it at the end it's soft and blends so much better now.

[@mattmason7554]

Excellent work

[@CallsignArchangel]

amazing work!!! the touches of pressing in your cobbler's name on the sole and your company logo on the heel are just beautifully done. the video was very well done too! audio was perfect, all the right angles. y'all are killin it!

[@WarBorn313]

Really like how these turned out

[@dale4034]

I don't know how much time it actually took to rework those boots but I suspect it was 2+ hours. That time was probably more valuable than the boots. This is the first shoemaking video I've watched, I love watching skilled people work.

[@cjanquart]

Hand stitching those new welts probably took at least two hours alone.

[@fraa888grindr6]

Those boots are $500-$600, so the repair is a fraction of the cost (25-30%). Otherwise, buy cheap $100-$200 boots, that aren't repairable, and just throw them away every 6-12 months. If you do the math, better quality leather boots that are made to be repaired, save you lots of money over time, and provide better foot support. Nick's, White's, Frank's, etc, are high-quality built boots that will last your lifetime if cared for and repaired when needed.

[@patrickmiao1698]

Great job, love the style of that moctoe and heel combo

[@jasonchar2573]

This is cool! They look like felt bottom fly fishing boots!

[@makius1400]

Jesus Christ thise look incredible! Your customer sure knew what the F he was asking for! Was very skeptical at first when describing, but turned it into one hell of a classy boot. Amazing work, well done!

[@Domestos99percent]

[@kevinorr6880]

[@dude28405]

That looks amazing. Redwing should offer that as an upgrade.

[@imm311]

Excellent work! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!

[@hiramesensei3112]

ive always found the Moc Toes to have an extremely narrow toe box, and the hard plastic toe liner makes it so that the toe box will never stretch out and mold to the foot like the rest of the boot. so actually it makes a lot of sense to take it out and now im considering having it done to mine lol

[@Dnte-qg3mb]

Artwork!

[@edyue1]

These were the 1st iteration of the Kangatans from the 90’s(?) Japan issues. Irish Setter tags, Red Wing embossing on the shaft. With the OEM soles these would be worth some serious cash for collectors 😳

[@centralfornia]

Those are the old Kangatan!

[@joeshmoe9233]

That was a LOT of wear on the first insole for a boot that was just a few months old. First owner must have weighed 300 pounds and used them for jogging.

[@eleven.eastgate.twelve967]

Not true, Im only 298 lbs... Dont hate the player, hate the game.

[@danielcervantes1492]

That boot is not the new one Red wing just released. If it was the new release it would’ve had the black vibram wedge sole.

[@whereRbearsTeeth]

What makes you think the boot is a few months old?? That boot is an old redwing release

[@jimstone6570]

Boots are like Harleys. Can be pricey to buy then you modify them to make them your own and even cooler than stock Also great examples of the correct tools, material and machines to do the job right

[@matttherrien9608]

Southpark had I right when it comes to bikers.

[@VeloRad-nu6jm]

You don't mention it when doing it or when summarizing the upgrades, but I also like the fact that you added a shank. Probably necessary since it doesn't have a wedge sole anymore, but definitely makes it more of a true boot for me.

[@CobblerTobias]

Good catch!

[@luisg6404]

those are better than the originals. rw should nick this design. i like the drop toe and the 270 welt

[@FourIntoOne]

Yeah, liking that a lot! Do all Redwing Moc Toes have that fibre/plastic toe former in them?

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

I’m not sure I could say all do, but I can’t think of any that don’t, off the top of my head

[@Edgemoore7]

Thanks for the video. I fly fish. To help me walk over algae covered rocks I screw metal cleats in the vibram soles. Unfortunately the cleats have come out and the holes no longer grip new cleats. Is there any glues or rubber filler that can be used to grip a new cleat? Can the soles be replaced?

[@ferballadares72fb]

Nice

[@joelintl2226]

wonderful end result - the color combination works really well, too... question: did you pull the upper at the toe area down a bit to get that sleeker look, or did you just use the existing holes in the upper to reattach the welt? If you just used the existing holes I wonder how the removal of the toe structure alone did change the look...Great work!

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

@@joelintl2226 thanks! We used the original holes. We used conditioner and hand pressed the uppers until we got the desired shape.

[@rainy1350]

What an awesome boot! I was skeptical about removing the front toe structure but I like the end result How could we find out what this cost?

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

Been watching your videos. Curious, what would this repair cost? Thx

[@mr_e1868]

I’d like to get a pair of Red Wing Supersole 953. Are those able to be resoled?

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

Redwing offers a replacement supersole for $150. That’s the best option for them. There are shops that will resole them also. They convert them to a different type sole. Currently, we no longer offer that service.

[@Barnaby_bo]

So by the time your finished the only thing left from the original boot is the upper.

[@onixtheone]

Would it still be a fail point if they stitched the gemming to the insole? Rather than gluing it

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

Not as bad of one. Stitched gimming needs to be covered with a liner to protect the foot from wearing out the stitches on the inner sole side.

[@funNactive1]

How much does a rebuild like this cost?

[@maurice4407]

Question, where do the nails go as he is hammering then in? Sorry if it’s obvious

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

@@maurice4407 good question. We cover that in one of our other videos because others have the same question. Our jack last is steel. When we drive the nails into the boots, it hits the metal last and clinches into the leather inner soles. Then they are covered with a thin layer of leather so it doesn’t bother the foot.

[@jasoncheshire6153]

I have the 1907. Can you make it look a little more sleek, too?

Email us for this discussion. [e-mail] Thanks

[@ronthompson2366]

Those with out a doubt look great. But I would be curious to know how much it costs for a complete reconstruction such as this ? Not to mention for a set of "used" boots they were apparently not very used... be curious what they cost to purchase... then combine the two costs and having a good cobbler willing to take on the job... compared to the cost of the same boot brand new ? They definitely look great..but at what price ?

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

Good point. Who makes the same boot brand new exactly like it is now though? People are now customizing their footwear like people have customized cars for an extremely long time.

[@joe_ferreira]

Do you use special contact cement that doesn't need to dry before you join the materials? Edit for context: the lining and toe box were not dry before reassembled. Curious how that works.

[@CobblerTobias]

We edited the dry time out. In this case the lining was put back in place to brush cement on the gemming but then opened back up to dry in the heatbox before reassembly.

[@NomNom1970]

So, I have an off the wall question. You and your Dad stand to work, right. What kind of boots do y'all wear? I spend long time on my feet and am looking for a good well made pair of boots to buy for comfort and durability. I am considering a pair of Origin Work boots or a pair of Thorogood Roofer boots 814-4000.

[@WyattDadCobblerCompany]

We wear different types of boots that we have customized for support, comfort and durability. We typically wear a different brand and model every day.

[@sisleymichael]

To get to where this boot started to where it ended up, just has me asking why? Wedge sole to a heel. Firm toe box to soft one. Maybe start with some boots like a Grant Stone or similar design. Sure, enough time and money, just about anything can be done. It reminds me of a Franken-truck a friend built. He had a Ford, put a Mopar engine in it. Lots of work and cutting and welding, he made it work. Made little sense to me, but somehow, he was over the moon. As for the craftsmanship of this boot transformation, wonderful work. The customer is always right? Maybe.

[@ryanpiyo98]

Maybe he just liked the uppers a lot. The toe drop actually changed the look quite a bit, resembling an indy boot. If he was going to make these changes anyway, buying a new pair wouldn't have made sense. This probably worked out better for him.

[@Hidy_Ho]

I have to agree with me. This reminded me of old days when someone buys a used CIvic for 10K and proceed to put extra 30K+ to "sup" it up. Not my cup of tea but will respect those that do. I would guess this "total recraft" wasn't very cheap.
