When I grow up I want to be a boot repairer just like you with all those amazing skills and the calm personality that you show. Absolutely great to watch thank you.
You all probably dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can give me
@Terrance Kabir thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Nice work Sole Brother.... nice to see that you kept the old welt..... that’s how I did it when I worked in our shoe shop.... I resoled boots many times using old welts, picking the stitches, and stitching as close to the old holes as possible...... EXCELLENT WORK YOUNG MAN I like your technique for setting the stitcher and we had the same Sole press. Thanks you turn back my clock we WILL MEET SOMEDAY ❤️.....👍 Bob in Colorado
What a great video! I remember as a young boy bringing my shoes to be repaired by our local shoe cobbler, I can still remember the aroma of the leather and the talent required to do the job. What an Artist, thanks for sharing!!
This is a dying art. It was a pleasure watching this young man work, proud craftsman. All the boot and saddle repair shops have closed in our area. In our small towns there were at least two of these specialized craftsman shops. As they aged out retired or died, the art died out with them. It is a labor intensive craft and nobody wanted to train and carry it on.
They are soothing aren't they, I just like seeing how he can take an old shoes or boots I think they are shot and he gives them more year's to the person that is going to wear them instead of tossing them out.
Hi Brian, first it is so cool that a platform like TH-cam exists, so you skill can be highlighted. In an era of consumerism, most people throw away old shoes as they have the income to buy new ones. Not many people take their shoes to get repaired and many people don't know the value of real leather shoes, most shoes now days are made of PU leather aka plastic . Nice to see a young man doing a honest job.
Blessings to you Brian! Thank you for adding in some eye protection. Love the vintage touch, to match your personal style too. Nicely done pair of boots too.
Our work here on earth is done .... Brian is wearing safety glasses ... believe me Brian it is not just an old man nagging ... you are a genius and we all appreciate your videos and the work you do and long may it continue without a preventable industrial accident. Now, if I could only convince my son to do the same thing.
I absolutely love your videos! Your skill level and attention to detail are phenomenal!! Thank you for sharing your artistry with us!! I look forward to seeing more!
Keep up the great videos. Brian you are such a talented younger craftsman and there is something very relaxing about watching you work and using the old machines. The music is great that you choose for the videos.
lol...safety glasses! Im glad you listened to your concerned viewers. You do great work Brian, my father did this for a long time, and I can tell you first hand, that your craft is like if you were 40 years in of experience. Keep up the good work.
First of all Brian is specialized in resoling Boots and to do Boots from the start to finish is a complete different work. Its start with the last selection, Upper designing, Pattern making, Upper leather and lining cutting, Parts stitching together, needs a special machine, eyelets setting, insert counter and box toe, insole preparation, upper lasting, welt stitching, midsole and outsole glueing and stitching together, sole trimming and finishing, upper polishing. there are so many different steps to do and to know about boots making and I think Brian is very happy with his work and business what he is born for. Brian is a wonderful Boots maker in his field. Brian keep going I love your videos, thanks.
My first real job was at a shoe store, and i was the boot man for 4 years. Its cool to see some of these high end boots being brought back to life. These videos are both interesting and relaxing. Keep it up man great content
My wife bought a pair of 100+ year old boots on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They're in surprisingly good shape, but the leather was very dry. I used some of the Cadillac boot conditioner that you recommend on them, and couldn't believe how much it brought the leather back. It's supple and strong again, and you'd never guess these boots were made back before the Titanic sank.
Nice to see the eye pro. If you're not wearing ear pro you should. I tell my guys that when they get old, they'll want to be able to hear their grandkids. Even low db noise will kill your ears. Plus it allows another layer of introspection while working that will surprise you. One question, when do you determine that welt needs to be replaced. When I first watched, I figured, after watching others that replacing the welt each time was the "right way" to repair a boot/shoe. Comment. I just resoled my WESCO Highliners and of course they have no welt. I drilled each and handstitched. So I'm looking forward to the WESCO engineer boot rebuild. Thanks for these great videos.
Wow, your skill is amazing. I actually viewed this whole video. It's...kinda memorizing to see something like this. It was soothing and the music...relaxing. Keep it up. 👍
Awesome job Bryan, the style of shoemaking is legendary and the young people say there is nothing else to learn all of the old skills and trades still need to be applied today's technology world if they only knew
Walter Loyd Brian , you are truly a master craftsmen the epitome of a professional, your skill is amazing I thoughly enjoyed watching you as if I was listening to Mozart.
Them glasses remind me of some steam punk type googles ... hey Brian did you finally order all the stuff you need for the ol truck ?? How’s that going ?? And as always my friend beautiful work señor watching you repair / restore these boots always seems to relax me pal ! Thanks
Except he left the laces in, I guess it was a trade off lol. He’s definitely an amazing talent but laces in the boot with a machine like that is a no no.
Almost ordered a pair of these in copper rough & tough. Ended up buying classic work chelsea. Own and operate a hime renovations business, so while we are general contractors, our work is fairly “clean” when compared to other phases of construction. Hope these hold up well.
Love it, beautiful work as always. I just had my 3141’s resoled. I wish I did a leather midsole. Mine used the factory RW one. I didn’t know better at the time.
phonebox13 Looks better in my opinion, no advantage or disadvantage. The factory RW mid on this shoe is synthetic, about 1mm thick. It’s barely noticeable until you look closely between the welt and sole. A leather mid adds some depth. The shoe looks good as is, a leather mid gives it some character IMO.
This is cool ,I respect this hustle a lot,,i know it’s not the same style of boot you repair because the soles are pressed on with a glue,,but you should try to do a timberland six inch premium resold. Would love to see that
Brian! No se nada de zapatos, pero me gustan tus videos y me relajo mucho. En uno de tus videos vi que estás en un lugar con muchos anuncios en español, espero que me entiendas el mensaje. Saludos desde Tijuana México.
Love the goggles Brian now use a face mask to keep the rubber dust out of your lungs, I had a shoe repair friend die of lug cancer , look after your body 🙂👍🇬🇧 Thanks for the great videos and craftsmanship 👍👍👏👏👏
When I grow up I want to be a boot repairer just like you with all those amazing skills and the calm personality that you show. Absolutely great to watch thank you.
In a world where we throw everything away , this is perfect . We need more people skilled in this art ! Love your videos

After a hectic day, who would have thought watching a craftsman resoling a pair of Chukas would be more relaxing than a glass of Scotch.
I literally can’t wait for these videos to come out. We need more!!! Lol great work.

Honestly I take naps to your videos, not because they are boring lol but because they are so damn peaceful. Keep em coming Brian!

I think I speak for many when I say, we would like to see a full boot build from start to finish.
I second that request. I would absolutely love to see that as well.

@@gregnoll2475 I get it. Now he makes boots and books as well.
@@gregnoll2475 I think he is a newbie to this channel and not watched any of Brian's old videos to see that Brian is also a qualified boot maker.
Excellent job Brian.
I know the customer was more than happy with the results.
So glad we still have people like you that dont let that skill be a thing of the past and hopefully you will keep passing it down ....great job!!
Well done Brian, great job!!!, God bless you and your teacher too, saludos desde Iztapalapa CDMX 😉😉👍👍
shoemaker to his shoes
I look forward to this shoe show on Sunday. Super filmwork. A lot goes into the shoe and the show. Thanks
Always love watching. And the music goes perfect with what you do. Keep it up!
Beautiful. The man is a true craftsman.
Great video Brian! A true craftsman! Enjoy relaxing watching your videos. Music is so soothing
You have an excellent photographer. He or she is an expert at their craft as are you. Just really fine work on both sides of the lens.
My first real job was at a shoe store, and i was the boot man for 4 years. Its cool to see some of these high end boots being brought back to life. These videos are both interesting and relaxing. Keep it up man great content

Your works makes me want to wear out my redwings so you can resolve them!
Brian super job well done keep going the world needs good Shoemakers, thanks
Hey dig those safety glasses! Good idea. And vintage style too!
Loving those shoes, makes me want a pair of chukkas now. Mahalos!
My wife bought a pair of 100+ year old boots on ebay a couple of weeks ago. They're in surprisingly good shape, but the leather was very dry. I used some of the Cadillac boot conditioner that you recommend on them, and couldn't believe how much it brought the leather back.

My favorite boot!
The red wing chukka!
Talk about bringing it back to life!
Nice to see the eye pro. If you're not wearing ear pro you should. I tell my guys that when they get old, they'll want to be able to hear their grandkids. Even low db noise will kill your ears. Plus it allows another layer of introspection while working that will surprise you.

Awesome job Bryan, the style of shoemaking is legendary and the young people say there is nothing else to learn all of the old skills and trades still need to be applied today's technology world if they only knew
A joy to watch true craftman. Keep them coming. 😊
Great job man, It is nice to see the younger generation learning a trade
Walter Loyd Brian , you are truly a master craftsmen the epitome of a professional, your skill is amazing I thoughly enjoyed watching you as if I was listening to Mozart.

que bien me gusto tu trabajo zapatero que Dios te bendiga. que bonito trabajo saludos desde tijuana mexico Dj gonzalo mix.
Finally some safety glasses! And in style too
miraxell I always wonder when we see the machine with the “safety glasses required” decal. Is Brian wearing them....? Finally, an answer!
Except he left the laces in, I guess it was a trade off lol. He’s definitely an amazing talent but laces in the boot with a machine like that is a no no.
# Enjoying his JOB !
Awesome job as usual. They look great Brian.
Well done on getting some real safety goggles!
Like today's video, lovely pair of boots made better than new!
outstanding!! thank you for bringing us along
Shout to u n ur maestro
Keep up the good work brain..
This man displays a great deal of skill and craftsmanship. I doubt there are many people today who have this ability.
You're a talented young man, Brian. I bet your father is extremely proud of you!
Nice work again!! Love the safety glasses!!
You're a craftsman. A pleasure to watch.
You,re a realy crafsman and See your videos can help me Tío much congratutions Brian
Amazing craftsmanship! Be proud.
Awesome Brian, i’m liking the safety glasses. Maybe one day you can introduce us to the person behind the camera. Who ever it is does good work.
He's said before that his Girlfriend films the videos.
Almost ordered a pair of these in copper rough & tough. Ended up buying classic work chelsea. Own and operate a hime renovations business, so while we are general contractors, our work is fairly “clean” when compared to other phases of construction. Hope these hold up well.
I love the safety glasses!
I feel that's very relaxing to watch your videos.
I like the way you drive the adhesive in instead of just painting it on.
Great job Brian. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful boots, excellent work as always!
Love it, beautiful work as always. I just had my 3141’s resoled. I wish I did a leather midsole. Mine used the factory RW one. I didn’t know better at the time.
Hello, could you please explain why a leather midsole would have been better?
phonebox13 Looks better in my opinion, no advantage or disadvantage. The factory RW mid on this shoe is synthetic, about 1mm thick. It’s barely noticeable until you look closely between the welt and sole. A leather mid adds some depth. The shoe looks good as is, a leather mid gives it some character IMO.
Dal97GLX thanks for the quick response ✌️🙂
Such a beautiful and novel profession 👏🏽👏🏽
# People have to KEEP WALKING, safely ! But for such people, can't imagine .....!
Nice to see the teach in the background.
Wonderful craftsmanship 🙌
Beautiful work young man. God bless you and your family 😉
Lol your glasses make you like like a minion from despicable me. Good work resoling those boots!
Outstanding!!! Reminds me of having my military shoes resoled .some 2-3 times. Nice part was they where broke in and shiny when i got them back.
Great job Brian, I enjoy watching your videos.
This is cool ,I respect this hustle a lot,,i know it’s not the same style of boot you repair because the soles are pressed on with a glue,,but you should try to do a timberland six inch premium resold. Would love to see that
You sir are a craftsman of the highest quality and level.
Felicidades! Tu trabajo es todo un arte. Es una pena que ahora kas personas ya no renovamos .
Love watching you work.
I don’t own any boots and I’m not into shoes but damn do I love the videos keep up the great work!
Good job, Brian!
I have a pair of Western boots I'd like to have you resole at some point.
Beautiful work. Your very talented.
Excellent work! Definately a skilled young man!
Damn had a cool pair if RW hikers. I threw them out not realizing they can be resoled. Lol
Nice work Brian
great job Brian... 👌👍
They Look Great!!! Definitely a dieing Trade.
What beautiful craftsmanship.
That just melted my sole 👍🇮🇪☘️
The boots look great! What’s the pros and cons of keeping or renewing the welt? Also the goggles are just the job!
Brian! No se nada de zapatos, pero me gustan tus videos y me relajo mucho. En uno de tus videos vi que estás en un lugar con muchos anuncios en español, espero que me entiendas el mensaje.

Some fly PPE!
Eres un artesano muy bueno te felicito con tus vídeos me has ayudado de forma increíble
Hell of a good cobbler effortless 👍👍👍👍
Belíssimo trabalho! Uma verdadeira obra de arte! 👏👏👏👏👍😉🙏😑
You do great work but I was really surprised that you left the laces in the boot for the whole process.
Love the goggles Brian now use a face mask to keep the rubber dust out of your lungs, I had a shoe repair friend die of lug cancer , look after your body 🙂👍🇬🇧 Thanks for the great videos and craftsmanship 👍👍👏👏👏
Glue fumes probably don't help there too. Hope they have good ventilation.
The finisher (sander) machine has a vacuum dust collection system on it.... that really helps. Bob in Colorado
