as a retired bootmaker of over fifty years,it is truly a pleasure to watch you work.you take such pride in your craftsmanship,great.
courtney hall thank you for your work sir,this world need craftsmen like you
Would you like to thank my window cleaner as well? How long have you got?

I remember the repair shops of the 50s, while u wait. Seats in booths with low swinging doors, 3 tradesman working. The same belt sand machine, smell of rubber and glue
Its refreshing to see you work in a world where everything is disposable its great to a old pair of jump boots get new life
ponyboy refreshing but hard to justify on a $150 pair of boots
@@mattberg6816 well, I am going to get my 10 dollar military surplus boots after this summer, (if they last that long, they have seen quite a lot of miles.)
Late Virtanen I have worn the bates surplus boots but I now buy the Corcoran marauders. Night and day better boots I’ve had this pair for 4 years as my daily boots and other than needing new soles are like new but at $100 for the resole on $150 boots just doesn’t make sense
@@mattberg6816 I see your point. Then again new soles on a broken in boot is sensation that new boots on that price range (or any price range) can't match. My current day to day boots are Finnish military boots m75. I don't know the exact age of those boots because they really don't label them like that, all I know they introduced them in 1975 and new model came out in 1996. Been thinking of getting another pair from my local surplus store after new soles though. Factory soles are made to be used as a skiing boots but I think my current pair will retire from skiing after they get new soles.
Late Virtanen I was looking at those same boots they look like a great boot I can see doing resoles on a pair that is full leather. I’ve been on the desert/jungle boots the last 5 years as my daily boots so it’s so hard to justify
Those were my favorite boots in the Army, before we permaently went to the suede ones in the early 2000's. To see them brought back to life makes me happy. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I too, had a set of Corcorans in the Army... slipped in the mud alot- not much traction!
@WALTER FEASEL I ETS’d before all the fun started, never wore the ACU or suede boots. How was that transition from spit shine to just cleaning them? Strange I bet.
They look so cool
These are being made in suede too, called Corcoran Marauders. They‘re available in the new coyote brown so are Ar 760 1 compatibel
Oh ya--- had a pair of these that were pristine. Wear them down to the motor pool and take 'em off and wear my "field boots".
Yep, the Sergeant Major would always talk about the "kiwi bird" if your boots looked bad.
I've always loved the Corcoran designed jump boot. It's a timeless style that'll last for decades and longer. Excellent craftsmanship Brian!
As an old paratrooper, I admire the skill and patience it takes to resole a pair of jump boots. The leather is still trashed. Needs a lot of kiwi
Doorkicker505 needs a full dye job not just the kiwi.
These are Matt Dirito's boots. He's the bassist of Pop Evil and has used these on tour since 2015.
I found out about Plasolux in 68. I just used it on the heel and toe, not the soft part.
Didn't spit shine for a year , but still highly spit shined.
I love how these hold my ankles. I've redyed mine twice so they don't turn gray in rain. I wish I could
wear them more often
Sir, you were lucky if you didn't face problems with these boots. My experience has soured me forever.
It is so beautiful to see someone be so humbly proud for his work. Take care...!
There is nothing like getting your boots back from being professionally resoled.
The top is broken in and feels great with the added strength from the new glue, stitching, and components of the sole. You have to experience it to understand. Anyone agree ?
Yes!! I agree. I just got a pair of heavily used Red Wings resoled and they are spectacular!
I fully and wholeheartedly agree! 🥾
Absolutely, it is like a hug for your feet!
@Roderick storeym
Just had my Red Wings resoled..I agree completely.
Fantastic workmanship, your videos for me are so therapeutic I'm addicted
The amount of time I've spent polishing a pair of those, it almost killed me to see the toes like that. Watching you work, though, is a pleasure.
I was thinking the same thing. I was devastated when I saw them.
Yeah, seeing guys walk so carefully during inspection trying not to scuff them (I did, and paid dearly for it lol)
Relatable
I’ve got a pair of original ww2 corcorans, the toe is pretty scuffed up, used in Normandy though
Kinda does make me wonder if that cap toe is re-cappable. Those were clearly not a soldier's boots, though.
As a Paratrooper who’s no longer on active duty, it’s nice to see a well used pair of Cocorans being resoled!
Wore these for years, had no idea how much went into their construction, thanks.
I have no idea why anyone would ever give you a thumbs down your work is incredible just goes to show you whether it's someone else's jealousy or Lac in themselves being able to do something as incredible as you do... Bravo sir Bravo
Probably because he did not address the entire boot, like the guy from Bedo's Leatherworks.
The owner of those boots should have come to you much soon! I'm a 57 year old female who's never been in the military, but I love restoration videos and craftsmanship. Well done 👍New subscriber.
Wow! It's a long time since I saw anyone with these skills (and I'm old). You are an admirable young man and your work is excellent!
Cobblers aren't exactly rare.
I like that the uppers weren't completely overhauled, but rather preserved so that they can last for many more years. These jump boots must have had a long history, whereas trying to erase all the scuffs would only have done them a disservice. Awesome vid, relaxing and interesting to watch.
The brown scuffing does make it look cooler
That is a lost art my friend. Great video, thanx for sharing it with us.
Such a great thing to see young craftsmen working with passion and commitment. Love the hat !
Airborne! thanks for saving those jump boots. Your music transitions were nice too.
Love watching an old school craftsman at work. Thanks!
At 61 years old, I still have a pair of those exact boots from when i was a 20 year old kid in the air force. Great memories. They still work and shine up pretty good when i put em to the buffer wheel.
@Mr Sunshines I did, but it seems like someone is a snowflake and can't take a little good natured inter-service rivalry LOL. If he would have been a Marine or a Squidly (which I was also) they would have just talked a little trash back......not gone to Human Resources.
@Mr Sunshines ummmmmm prove you wrong about what? That I don't spitshine jump boots? I spent a great part of my life being forced (and later to be the example) when in garrison to keep jump boots at a high spitshine.
@Mr Sunshines still don't know what you want me to prove you wrong about. Troll much?
@Mr Sunshines if i say you're right, will you just go away ?
We got a 50 buck or so rebate to buy these at sp school.
So satisfying to see something renewed as opposed to being thrown away
It's a beautiful thing to see a young man such as yourself who's not afraid to get his hands dirty, and who is mastering such a time honored craft. God bless you. Live well and prosper.
Great example of a time when we valued what we had and did what was necessary to take care of it. This is a skill thats been handed down. No macbook or laptop, cell phone required to achieve these results. I enjoy technology but its higly overated give me the simple life.......thx for sharing 👍
Good for you brother! You have a real skill that is lost. It’s hard to find a shoe repair company today so I hope it makes a comeback and you do well in it ... blessings!
It's good to see someone so passionate about a traditional craft ! Very nice work
One of my favorite resole videos yet, those things were truly in need of repair. And old military boots makes it even better! Good stuff Brian!
193 dislikes...why? What is there to dislike about this degree of craftsmanship???
Shit people
Some people's lives are such shit they feel the need to spread venom through the world. I almost feel sorry for them.
People who have never had a ruck on their back, I'll bet.
I scored a pair of those for $20 at a second hand shop in Tucson a couple years ago! They were basically brand new!! I put them up, and almost forgot I had them until recently. It was fascinating to watch you tear down the old sole! Looking at them, you wouldn’t think they’d be put together like a tank! You did an amazing job resoling them, and cleaning up the upper! Keep up the good work Brian! Thanks for sharing your craft with the rest of us!
Boots turned out fantastic. Love that you turned them into a 360 welt. They desperately needed it. And this sole and heel style is my absolutely favorite.
Brian, a few years ago I got rid of my Red Wing pull on boots. I purchased them in 1975 and took great care of the uppers. The soles were replaced and then years later need replacement again. My boot repair professional passed away. Before the internet so I gave them away. I miss them. Enjoy watching you bring boots back to life. Bless you for your amazing talent
Awesome Brian Corcoran Jump Boots Made in North Carolina.. You can see the quality on how they were made. I have a pair that I bought in the 90s and they still look new.😁 I admire your talent 💯👍
Corcoran jump boots were the only jump boots a Paratrooper buys. No other boot holds a mirror spit shine like Corcoran boots. The soles were often redone with Vibram soles or "stacks" but I always liked having mine done as you do it in your video. Thank you and Strike Hold!
You are a craftsman. What a great job. I had my Corcorans re soled a few times back in the 1970s and always wondered what the process was. You sir are an artist
He did a great job.
From an old vet, you did good. Glad to see someone still loves their Corcorans enough to have them resoled
When first stationed at Ft. Devens in Oct '67 I bought my first pair of Corcoran Jump Boots fm their factory for 15 dollars. They took missing when I got Jungle Boots in Vietnam.
I have always found it wonderful how people can take something discarded and make it like new again. Love the craftsmanship an art that is hard to find nowadays, but is very much needed and respected.
Man that's amazing I've seen it in other comments but to see somebody repairing boots instead of replacing them I love it. Great job thank you for sharing
I had a pair of Corcoran JBs for 18 years, used only for standing in parades/ceremonies. Most uncomfortable boots EVER. (but they sure shine up nice). Can't imagine a pair being used so much that they needed a resole or looked like THIS! Nice work!
Good boots (not just Corcorans) , generally require a long and painful breaking process...... after you break them..... they will fit like a glove and you will not want to wear anything else.
Master craftsman work, great job.
Nothing more comfortable than a well worn-in boot properly fitted.
I had my Red Wings resoled twice.
I wore them on many deployments to about 15 countries. 42 years and I still have them.
Holy cow, Brian!!! It is so nice to watch a master at his craft!!! I wasn’t really into boots or shoes. But I can’t take my eyes off the mastery of the craft you portray.
Brian once again your level of craftsmanship just amazes me ...I wish I had a pair of boots that were worthy of your talent to resole... the world truly needs more people like you
Love your videos. Makes me want to get my boots on and wear them out for you to fix them up properly. The steps of your repair never bore me.
I love the old brought back to new. Amazing work young man!
You should include the list of options the customer selected in the description of your resole videos so that if we see something we like, we know what to order when we're looking at your website. Keep up the gorgeous work!
Peter Rosenberg great idea. Thank you
Yup.
Excellent idea.
Relaxing to watch and
just how Awsome the finished product came out !!!
Very nice job quality work nothing is made like it anymore it's all factory mass production
The sights of those boots bring back memories. I had a pair with zippers installed on the inner sides. And passed all inspections up and down.
Buenas,mi abuelo era zapatero en un pueblo de Córdoba(España) entre 1920 y 1970.Aún recuerdo el olor del cuero.Gracias por tu trabajo.Ya nadie dedica tiempo a restaurar,sólo consumimos frenéticamente.

A true artist man it is relaxing watching him give old shoes boots new life
They came out great. The Boot conditioner was a must things where dry. I have a pair of these boots which I bought back in 2002 when I was 20. They are still in great shape but I clean and spit shine mine. Love the craft, man keep up the great work.
Wore those boots for 11yrs, resoled them twice but your job looks 100 times better than what I was given
I have had this done to my boots a number of times... As a military member that lived in his boots, once you get a pair of boots that mold right to your feet and are more comfortable than any sneaker could be, you'll understand WHY people have this done...Still have my Matterhorns from the mid 90s with a fresh Vibram sole recently... Thank you for keeping this trade alive...
Magic my friend, when I was in early 20's I had an mate that was an bootmaker everything what you did there was bringing back memories than you so much.
One of the best pair of boots I've ever and still own. You Sir, are a master of your craft !
Great work Brian! I'll bet those old Corcorans will be twice as comfortable now, well broken in and a New Sole! Great work as always!!
I'm very impressed !!! I'm not sure of your age but you appear to be very young and it's nice to see someone your age dedicated to craftsmanship like this !!! Young people seemed to be trained to go after the flash in life but when you can take pride in your work such as you, then you are rewarded far greater !!! Very nice work !!!
This was a joy to watch. The craftsmanship and second life tou gave these boots was just amazing. Loved the video. AATW!
I have a pair just like those before you worked your magic on them. Most comfortable boots that I have ever owned! Perhaps one day I can afford to send them out to you.
The comments on this video are so pure and kind I love it
Awesome as always Brian 👍
Thank you!
Glad to see someone from a generation below me that takes pride in their work and knows the results of a quality job
Great to see such a young craftsman, I tip my hat to you, great skill
Brian, you're videos are so cool bro I enjoy watching your skills. My wife and I thought it would be really cool to hear the actual sounds of the your work as it would be a wonderful addition to your already great videos!
Beautiful work and great skills. Thanks for sharing them with all of us!!!
I don't understand how 10 people have disliked this video. Keep up the good work.
There was no need to replace the welt. He also don't Adress the holes on the heel side on one of them. Now u understand? Some people also would like to see the uppers refurbished, ie thoroughly cleaned, redyed and brought to high gloss. The latter however may not have been the customer s wish.
Awesome craftsmanship !! Great work young man 👍👍. Keep your trade alive. Very old school Love It. I live in Los Angeles I'll be taking my jump boots to you soon.
The attention to detail and pride in doing first-rate work. Seems a lot of boot makers are showing up on my TH-cam page. There is the Fellow in Virginia and another in Moscow, nice to see skilled craftsman sharing the skills. Kind of reminds me of a watchmaker I know. Of course, the smile on your face is well priceless.
It's so great to see hands on craftmenship at work and you definitely have a gift keep making it grow and it will make your dreams come true.
My hat's off to you Sir. Great job on an American classic
Another great re-sole video. Amazing work!
Da gusto verte trabajar. Les has dado una nueva vida a esas estupendas botas de paracaidista del año 41. Eres un profesional y todo un artesano. Enhorabuena y saludos desde España 🇪🇸
great quality i have not even found a place that can do what you do. You are a national treasure
Amazing work!! I still have my jump boots! All the way! Airborne!!
They were a well made boot. Mine are gone somehow...probably Goodwill. Aim High!!
Mine are long gone or I'd still be Waring them lol except I'd get the Panama sole done on them.
@@treerat6959 ripple sole is pretty nice too
Mine were hanging from a telephone wire on 14 April 1995
HOOWAH brothers thank you all for your service!
Still have mine from 33 years ago. Some of the best boots ive ever owned.
I love to watch your passion and dexterity.
Good job!
I watched this just before I went to bed. It was so relaxing and satisfying I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
Great job as usual Brian. See ya on the next 1
love your videos you take great pride in your work and it shows god bless
Brian the Bootmaker, always love watching you work! Truly
You change the way I look at old shoes!!! Thanks.
Proud of you young man 😁 love the videos keep up the great work you have a bright future 💪
As an '80's Paramedic, these were the boot to wear. I had one pair re-soled twice....Good as New!...
Wow -- Beautiful work; both on the Boot, and the Camera.
I loved my Corcorans. Putting that ultimate mirror shine on them was something I always enjoyed. Seeing the points of light from distant streetlights at O'dark-thirty formation used to bring a smile to my face.
Long time ago.....
Excellent Brian, been waiting for a combat boot, those are very similar to the Shelly's I have but are steel toe. Would love that same sole.
wow so much work for one boot. I'm a violin maker and can understand the patience needed for this kind of workmanship. That boot better be a very good one to deserve o hard work like it! Most people would throw it to thrash and get a new one.
Wow! They looks better than new! Beautifully done
The one thing i love about being a paratrooper is my jump boots
Me Too! Airborne!
Just an amazing talented job Brian. Keep it up. Thank you
You and Steve from bedo's....True artisans my friend ! :)
Honorable work! Patience, skill and an eye for detail.
Amazing craftsmanship on a pair of beautiful Corcoran jump boots.
Wow! Those boots were thrashed. Glad the customer decided to restore them rather than throw them out. Thanks for posting.
You've made an outstanding boot even better!
Всегда восхищаюсь работой ТАКИХ мастеров!!! Волшебство рук! Снимаю шляпу в поклоне! Браво, мастер!!! Красотища! Думал, что будет делать с кожей верха. Обошёлся окрашиванием, без замены, видимо, в стороны ценности аутентичности. Замена подошвы - фантастика по скрупулёзности и качеству!!! Великолепно!!!😂😮❤❤❤
that was amazing to watch and interesting to see the process of. Never knew half that about a boots makings. So fascinating.
Marvelous job - AWESOME!!! Thanks for this experience!
AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!! I wore these boots with pride when I was a young Paratrooper back in the day. I used to wear them with BDUs and jumped with them sometimes just to keep them broken in. They were not really meant to be field boots anymore because they had no traction on the soles. They are best worn with in my dress greens, maroon beret, blue infantry cord, French Fourrage, and my jump wings with oval. Shined to a very high gloss that would burn your eyes out. That is what an Airborne Infantryman should look like with swag. Brought back memories when I used to shine them like glass. Thank you for sharing this.
I remember shining up my Cochrans when I was enlisted in the army back in the 90’s. Nice to see an old pair get restored.
Lindo !!!! Uma restauração dessas traz lembranças ...... um de meus avôs foi sapateiro e ver todo esse cuidado e dedicação me lembrou de como a essência de um bom produto esta no artesão !!!!
