Bravo is all I have to say.. it’s amazing to watch these come back from seventh level of hell back to looking distinguished and stage-worthy. Cobblers are a dying breed unfortunately.. this is true masterful talent. Thanks for making this video!
I think it's funny that you habitually removed the heel 1:46, even though the rear portion of the sole was already separated from the boot. Old habits die hard, eh?! 🤣 Great job, thank you!
@@theknifeconnection9571 so around the 2:40 section of the video you can see that I ripped the sole off. If you look closely the midsole it glued to the bottom of the sole, and you can see part of the midsole that Is still stitched to the welt. I was able to rip the sole off because the midsole was so rotted out that it just tore.
Would this be once in a lifetime clean? I would think this amount of water and dish is harsh but strong enough to remove all the dirt. Any yearly cleaner you recommend ?
Yes I wouldn’t recommend this for daily cleaning. You can still use the Lincoln EZ cleaner, but you don’t have to soak the boots like I did here. Just make sure to thoroughly condition the leather after.
It can, but I wasn’t scrubbing super hard to cause any damage. I wouldn’t recommend this for maintenance on your boots. This was just an extreme case, where it was necessary to remove all the paint.
@@mwilliamshs unfortunately I cannot film every little detail. All I did was use a little bit of Angelus Acrylic Leather Dye as a base coat, and then used a matching shoe cream after it dried
These were my boots. You might find it hard to believe but I would brush and oil these quite regularly. After enough hard work and daily wear they just start falling apart.
I'm surprised by the wedging of the heels. I get the idea, but I've never seen it done so drastically. Perhaps, the final balance of the boots should be rockered (a convex shape) to conform to the motion of walking. My intuition has me thinking I might wear out the heels real quick with the heels crafted in that configuration. Or is this a normal thing?? I don't know.
The wedged heel all depends on the shoe. Most manufacturers snap down the bottom of the heel block before putting them on so it doesn't give the effect of a tapered block, but this has no affect on how fast the heels wear down
*@chinatownboy7482 Still worth it! I'm sure the customer has sentimental with their boots. It's very common. It's also wasteful to toss out your boots while they still have life left in them. They came out amazing! Not everyone can afford to get new boots, so it's great to revive old ones. While they still have life left in them! It's great they're goodyear welted, so that it allows people multiple resolings over the years!*
*13:32** Which model is your Landis? It's great it was able to stitch those 3 layers together! And I was wondering which model is best for stitching thick layers without breaking? Because I've seen on a different channel where they were able to stitch layers. I'm thinking they have a strong model to do that.*
Young man skilled in the old world craft.
It's a wonderful thing

Eine gute Arbeit von einem guten Mann.👍👍 Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.

@@olegkaderly5638 thank you for the kind words i greatly appreciate it.
I'm glad I stumbled across this video, I learned some things. The boots look great. Keep up the good work 👍
@@richardcoplin4103 thanks for watching!
Looks like those boots have a heck of a shoetree in them. Phew.
I’m so glad he’s not going to abuse your skills by working in these now beautiful boots They’ll now last him for many years more Great video 👍
The boot came out amazing man! Nice job man
You did a great job on those boots. Great contrast on the heels and the leather looks amazing now!
Glad you like them!
One of the best boot rebuild explainations I've seen!! Great work!
You’re pry tired of seeing my comments but I love your cowboy boot videos. I truly enjoy watching you revive someone’s most important boot🙌
Amazing restaurateur work….
Thank you very much!
I found that blakestitching the heel rand to the insole also helps with this problem, great video man keep it up!
I think it's funny that you habitually removed the heel 1:46, even though the rear portion of the sole was already separated from the boot. Old habits die hard, eh?! 🤣 Great job, thank you!
Lol yes I guess so, it’s also easier to remove the sole with the heel off
Well done Oliver!
Nice work!
Thanks! 🙏
Great job!
Dang, this was brilliant. I watch a ton of cobbler videos and have started myself, and it's unusual to find one where every step is done so well.
Thanks 🙏
You were great on Shameless!
great work man I love the brain fart thing that was funny LOL
Great job..
Great boot resurrection!!!
very nice, I was wondering if you nailed the heel after pulling it apart
@@panchucko I didn’t nail the sole down in the heel area since it is now stitched, but I did nail the heel block on from inside the boot.
This videos of shoes fixing are very entertaining,great job done..!
Nice job
Genuinely curious whyd you say the last cooler added a midsole. I don't see one?

WHOA!! Beautiful work! amazing!!
The look so much better with a midsole and some heel definition
Great to see young cobblers on youtube. We need more of them. MAGA.

In love your restoration. Where did you learn to do shoe repair?
@@Augie-r9q thanks! my father in law taught me the basics, and then the rest was from TH-cam, other cobblers, and trial and errors.
Should have done a double stitch. LOL
That sole shows way less wear than I would have guessed based on the condition of the rest of the boot. Must have been a light dude.
@@TonyDD83 these have been resoled multiple times so I’m guessing his previous resole wasn’t too far long ago
At 11,00 you missed out making the new footbed and fitting the gimme ? or whatever its called . Can you do it again please ? thanks
@@jonviol if you watch my latest video on Iron Rangers I have a better description on making the new footbeds and gemming
@@jonviol th-cam.com/video/YGO2JueFRn8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KH5ZKLFw3BukWYnC
Un phased by what appeared to be a “mission impossible.” Great result..
Why not twitch and glue the gemming to the foot bed?
@@ronaldzeoli7528 I glued and stitched the gemming to the footbed
Where are you located?
I am in Smyrna Tn near Nashville
Love your Videos-Great Job!!
i could be totally wrong and i dont know much about this but it looks like that copper brush did quite a bit of damage no?
It can, but I wasn’t scrubbing super hard to cause any damage. I wouldn’t recommend this for maintenance on your boots. This was just an extreme case, where it was necessary to remove all the paint.
They turned out great!
Those boots were pushed right to the edge and you brought them way back
Amazing work!!
interesting the sole has a yellow vibram logo. i have 4 pairs and none of them have a yellow logo
Some of them do some dont
He said it was resoled a few times. I think the original soles don't have the yellow logo - only the replacement.
oooh ok. thanks for clarifying@@paulfogarty7724
That’s Some Great craftsmenship.
The pope says this is a Bonafide miracle 😂
Holy midsole Batman, I love it.
I’m hoping to get me a pair of Iron rangers soon be my first expensive to me boots ever I hope there worth it
If you take care of them, they will be way worth it
The leather looks great..but that heel looks to stacked and thick.
So by adding the leather heel base it is literally stacked leather. It does make the boot a little taller, but they are still properly balanced
Good job, I have some boots to change soles.

Clicked to see the leather color restoration and conditioning. Aka, the part you skipped.

I really dont understand how people neglecting to atleast brush the boots like this one.
Some people treat their shoes as beaters

That is one thicc midsole
New footbed, 360 Goodyear welt conversion - that cost more than a new shoe.
New shoes would have costs less.
