About 15 years ago, I had an old pair of BMW motorcycle boots that had soles I hated. They didn’t grip very well on wet pavement, which is not a good feature when riding a BMW (or any motorcycle). So I went to a cobbler to have them resoled with Vibram soles. I thought it was a simple process, but i remember him telling me that he wanted to replace the midsole with leather to make them last longer and be more comfortable. I whined about the cost, but they ended up being amazing amazing. Those boots lasted 10 years of riding. I actually sold them on eBay because BMW quit making that style, and because of what the cobbler had done, it made them more valuable because it made it easier to replace the soles. Now I know why! Thanks for this episode.
@@lewisreeves9843 This was 15 years ago, so I can’t remember exactly, but it was at least $200. I’m guessing it would be twice that amount now, but BMW motorcycle boots are very expensive, so it was worth it.
seen 1000s of shoe sole restore repair videos, no one ever stitched the mid-sole or the outer sole. that is a very awesome job amazing machine. beautiful.
I have a pair of Timbs where the soles delaminated just that that. I took them to a local cobbler and he was able to re-sole with full depth black Vibrams that gave it many more years of wear for them. I've had these Timbs for a total of 26 years so I've been really happy with them and they're still part of my outdoor boot collection.
@@sicilianjiu-jitsu2984 don’t get me started on the super low quality leather Jordans and similar basketball shoes that people buy just because of the logo/brand or because some nba player or rapper wore them…
I always thought cobblers only worked with high end shoes made from exotic leathers I can’t pronounce or afford 😭 so seeing a NYC staple on your bench is something. Great work.
Are high end brands that have wonderful looking silhouettes, but are not known for shoes specifically such as Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Prada also fairly easy to have redone?
Hahaha, NY is single handedly keeping Timberland a viable company. I still remember all the stores at every major mall. Every other dude is rocking them.
@@assistantchip723 Depends, the designer brand shoes vary greatly in make and quality from model to model. The better (more expensive) ones can often be decently made, often times blake stitched (the sleek and elegant Italian style models), those can be repaired fairly easily. The cheap ones that have just a one piece rubber sole, they can usually be repaired, if that's worth it or not depends on the insole and footbed construction and the shape of the uppers.
@@assistantchip723 Saint laurent quality is really good imo owning a wyatt harness, and shouldn't be difficult for cobblers to work on. I found that gucci quality and consistency was worse in general more of a "fashion" shoe. Prada in the middle.
The boots look great! I love that y'all keep us realistic while also giving us ideas for how to take our shoe repair game up a notch. Please take your time and take care of yourselves, we're just glad to have you on this platform!
Awesome video. I think my favorite videos are when y’all re-sole something that probably “shouldn’t” be re-soled. It’s interesting and fun and different. Cant wait to see what y’all do next
I have never seen these style boots get resoled / restored I am very impressed the red stitching is a nice touch awesome work as always guys !! Much love !
Wow. Judging by the work I’ve seen done, I just may ship you guys my “outside” pair of suede Wolverines steel toes that I clean with a brass grill brush and lava soap, and weatherproof with a soaking of WD-40 when they dry. I’d love to see one of y’all do another “What the ....” video.
Watching this repair I startet to cry.Years ago I brought my beloved Timberlands to a cobler to resole it….and he ruined my Boots and I throwed them out broken harted.Now Seeing how it has be done still breaks my Heart.Thank you for your work!Cheers from Germany!Niko
Not a huge fan of Tims but I know a LOT of people love em. I just bought my brother in law a pair of em for Christmas. Good stuff man. I never realized they could be rebuilt.
Glad you guys did a video of a pair of Timberlands like this. I have a pair of smooth leather Timberland boots I want to get done with the vibram soles. You guys are the best. Keep it up. I'll be sending my boots out very soon.
MEN, you are mad! I am looking at you from Europe, Romania. For two years from now I am crazy about shoe restoration videos because I paid in my life (the equivalent of)150$ for 2 pairs of shoes, each, in different stages of my life, this bein the top of my budget just because I saw them and absolutely loved the model, but their construction proved to be poor even though their looks were good. So thinking about how and where to restore them, who has the knowledge in Romania and the tools and the expertise and the WILL to try I reached too many channels of shoe restoration, yours beautiful too. Thank you for the quality of your information and I congratulate you on your passion! Been stupid, now I buy superb second-hand or outlet shoes at a fraction of the price I paid a few years ago, all made abroad for ABROAD markets, not for Eastern Europe, and the quality is STRIKINGLY DIFFERENT! And I can now say that even I don't repair them, I am not crying over the loss of the original money. (being a photographer I am carrying heavy equipment long time in hot or humid environments in a kind of a sporty movement manner and this is absolutely MELTING my shoes)
Great video. I had a pair of nubuck Timberland hiking/trail boots, took them to get cleaned, help with the seam ... I got back leather boots! I think I remember him saying mink oil was used. I still have those darn boots in a closet I use in colder months, just no snow or rain. Not every cobbler is a cobbler!
These boots came out great. I think that the stains make them look better. I regret throwing away a pair of 20-year old Timbs that I owned. Awesome video once more.
Being an old plastics chemist, part of what you are doing in the cleaning with acetone is cleaning away a mold-release compound, too. A fella needs to get that off very completely for your new adhesive to get a good bond(grip). I really enjoy watching you two birds fix the "un-fixable". LOL!
That sole stitching looks amazing! Sure... most people will never see it, but wow! I've never seen that. Like I've said before... you gentlemen are shoe artists.
I love the redo beginning to end. I’d love it if the video were longer so we could more clearly see the transformation. A little more time on each step would be great. I love watching for stress relief😅😅 You both do such beautiful work. It’s truly an art!!!
As strage fact, I’m a Timb customer since 1985, and always had Vibram and never had issues, of course a couple of times I managed to warn the rubber. I talk abt Timb purchased in Italy and Swiss
Seriously, guys… you both work miracles with shoes and boots!!! I wish that all Timberland boots came like this. That is a sexy pair of boots now!!! Awesome video, Gentlemen 😎👍🏾
Way back, I had a pair of Timberland boots as a very young man. They fell apart at the 6 month mark. I was poor and very angry. Never did that again. Went to Redwings. I had one pair that got soles 4 times before they were useless. These days, I don't need a tough work boot. I got some Allen Edmonds Park City vibram sole rough leather. Comfortable, tough, and resole easy. Clean and leather conditioner regularly. Should last longer than I will.
An exemplary job! You folks have literally resuscitated some shoes and boots, but replacing these soles with a classier and more functional stitched construction, along with the general clean up, takes a run-of-a-mill pair to a new level. How about a pair of Doc Martens? Great job, thanks! 🤙
Ended up here by accident, but great video, interesting. Two questions: 1. How many pr can you repair in a normal day? 2. What brands should I buy if I want a good, repairable boot?
My Saturday morning staple. Great even without a dose of Grapenuts lol. Southern Polish sandals gonna be hitting my feet this summer even if I still have nowhere to go!
Hi Trent. I see that you finally got the Timberland boots that you were looking for awhile back to do a video on. If these were my boots I would probably sit either with my leg crossed or both stretched out and crossed so everyone could see the cool red stitching on the soles. A nice artistic touch. It's this kind of little attention to details that keep customers coming back again and again. Stay safe and warm. It's colder than the shady side of an iceberg here in the midwest today. :-D. BRRR.
Awesome work, I do have Timberlands but the sole are gone. I tried to take to the cobbler where I lived and he told me that those soles can't be replaced!
Judging by the stains on the toes, I’d say the owner is a successful hunter. By some of what I saw of the outsole, they put their feet too close to the campfire. Great work! Stay square!
Dude I have a pair of boots that our local gas station imports from Mexico way better quality leather you expect but you just have to check the colors because sometimes the boots don't match exactly.
Love the sole stitching. Such good work. BTW - love your sandals. Got them 6 months ago and they're the first open toed sandals I've ever enjoyed wearing.
I'm not a big fan of timberlands, but this was very enjoyable! Despite that particular owner's use, most of the time (at least where I live) timberlands are used as a fashion statement. But that modification made them action ready. Very good job!
My thoughts exactly. I would be ashamed to send someone such a dirty mess. The sole fact (no pun intended, haha) that I pay for something doesn't give me any right to be rude.
The only thing well made, just like Nike's, is the price tag for over 20 years now. The quality went to shit a while ago. But people think paying more for a name automatically means quality.
Ya'll need to put up some foam on the walls, would help with the echo of the room. Doesn't need to be a lot, just enough to keep sounds from bouncing. Otherwise, great video.
This was great! You’ve given this New Yorker a sigh of relief. I’ve wondered if Timbs could be resoled and y’all make it clear that they can. Now I just have to find mine.......
I hope you're wearing a mask or respirator while you're grinding off the excess midsole and sanding the edge of the sole. Those processes throw a bunch of particles in the air that aren't good for your lungs. This is the same sort of dust control that woodworkers should use.
@@TrentonHeath where are you based and how much a re-sole like this cost. I love to get it done on my new shoes as it looks so much better than the factory sole?
The only 'issue' with this is they don't look like Timberland Classic 6" boots anymore. The profile has changed, the narrow sole and welt the originals come with is low profile and doesn't 'spill' over the edge this much. I know they've gained a new lease of life with quality upgrade workmanship, bits and components, but also look like fake Timbs from the normal distance too.
@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington Oh you'd be surprised. There's a whole gang of Timbs followers who wouldn't touch anything even little out of whack from what they consider original. I agree, they're just boots but ain't stupid, to each his own.
@@TrentonHeath How does the press work exactly? Just by applying pressure or is there heat involved? Been wondering since the first time I watch your video. 😃
G'day great boot upgrade and restoration it's amazing how you can breathe new life into shoes and boots that would have been thrown away and some of the finishes to the uppers and soles are a work of art. One thing after watching a lot of your videos is the filthy state you get these sent to you in particularly the boots I think it's a bloody nerve sending boots into you with mud and crap all over them, I would be wearing very good gloves and strong hand wash after putting your hands inside them. Anyway love your channel and always look forward to watching the next video, kind regards John
Saphir Renovateur Spray for suede & nubuck does a great job to revive that nubuck leather. Tried on my Timberlands yesterday and I was surprised how good they got to look.
Hi, great video on the Timberlands. Are you all not doing this type of repair now? Or just Goodyear Welted repair? Timberland will not repair their own products.
One of my requests has been fulfilled! Thanks a lot Trenton! Wish I could experience some of your proper winter ❄️ Today the temperature was 20 degrees Celsius in Greece. Not even autumn standards 😆
Sweet video. I no longer buy leather products but I miss wearing Timbz. I have an old pair needing a resole. Think I might just do that do I can reuse/repurpose them.
Even with them still not cleaning up like new he made those $180 pair of boots into a $250 pair of boots just by the work he did on them! Maybe Timberland should have these guys make the boots for them! They would actually be made the right way! Great work!

Hah, that was my thought as well! 😀
If Timberland manufactured their boots to the standard of the repair, they would cost three times as much money!
They’re a pretty decent boot for the price point, IMO.

Higher end shoes are much easier to work on, but cobblers often work on a lot of different shoes/boots. Glad you enjoyed it!

@@SirPhilMcCrackinVonBeggington Oh you'd be surprised. There's a whole gang of Timbs followers who wouldn't touch anything even little out of whack from what they consider original. I agree, they're just boots but ain't stupid, to each his own.
The ultimate pair of constructs where born that day
Just from a respect factor clean your soles before bringing them to the cobbler. Some people are such trash.
👍
Great job. You added 25 years life to his booths. Thanks
Thank you!
Love watching the press that secures the sole. For some reason it's very satisfying. Great job as always guys.
Thank you!
@@TrentonHeath How does the press work exactly? Just by applying pressure or is there heat involved? Been wondering since the first time I watch your video. 😃
Wow! It was better than the original! How i wish i had an old boot to send you to rebuild it...
why am i watching shoe repair youtube? Why am I enjoying it?!
Me too
G'day great boot upgrade and restoration it's amazing how you can breathe new life into shoes and boots that would have been thrown away and some of the finishes to the uppers and soles are a work of art. One thing after watching a lot of your videos is the filthy state you get these sent to you in particularly the boots I think it's a bloody nerve sending boots into you with mud and crap all over them, I would be wearing very good gloves and strong hand wash after putting your hands inside them. Anyway love your channel and always look forward to watching the next video, kind regards John
Thank you very much for watching our videos!
I like that decorative red stitching on the soles! 👍
This probably cost more than buying a pair of new shoes. But the result was great! Loved the red stitching!
Thank you!
Saphir Renovateur Spray for suede & nubuck does a great job to revive that nubuck leather. Tried on my Timberlands yesterday and I was surprised how good they got to look.
👍
Hi, great video on the Timberlands. Are you all not doing this type of repair now? Or just Goodyear Welted repair? Timberland will not repair their own products.
omg! this is what we call: QUALITY! 😎👍👍
Wow, wish mine looked and were rebuilt like these. Thanks for sharing.
I like watching REAL craftsmen at there trade. It takes talent.
Thank you for the video. Can you give me some advice on how to remove paint from Tims boots if I painted them badly?
Those soles turned out beautiful! Great craftsmanship
One of my requests has been fulfilled! Thanks a lot Trenton! Wish I could experience some of your proper winter ❄️
Today the temperature was 20 degrees Celsius in Greece. Not even autumn standards 😆
One of my very favorite vacations is when my dad took me to Greece for vacation! Loved it!!
why is watching shoe repair so satisfying
Sweet video. I no longer buy leather products but I miss wearing Timbz. I have an old pair needing a resole. Think I might just do that do I can reuse/repurpose them.
Nice work guys I LOVE your channel and the care and work you put into people's shoes! Keep on keeping on!
Thank you very much!
Even with them still not cleaning up like new he made those $180 pair of boots into a $250 pair of boots just by the work he did on them! Maybe Timberland should have these guys make the boots for them! They would actually be made the right way! Great work!
