Cowboy Boot Restoration | Nocona Boots Get a Makeover
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2020
- In this video, we refurbish this worn out pair of Nocona cowboy boots. A customer mailed these in to us to be refurbished. We used JR leather soles, Vibram heel pads (top lifts), and we finished them off with Triumph toe plates. After conditioning the lizard skin with Saphir Reptan cream, they were looking better and ready to go.

I was raised about an hour away from Nocona Tx. Several of my family members have worked there over the years. Boots, belts, wallets, just about anything leather you name it. Glad to see the repair on those boots.
It’s awesome to see how you repaired my boots. They are 8EEE, and I cannot get that size anymore. I can’t wait to wear them
Terry Haygood good looking pair of boots!
I can’t imagine how exciting it is to see your own boots worked on by such craftsmen! Lucky guy!
I wear 9.5 EEE, that size is hard to find also, Nacona was the only westren boot maker that didn't have them as custom boots
Nice call on the toe plates. I really think they look great.
Like I said I could never wear them they look so good. Everything they do is classy and perfection
oh man, the owner of these boots is going to be doing some serious new boot goofin when he gets these bad boys back!
Lol underrated comment
I'm just goofin
3 payments
Serious boot goofin.......Laughs hysterically....good line.....
Nocona and Tony Llama are classic, well-known, boot brands in Texas.
We love our boots!!!
Nacona is located in Nacona, Texas----not only do they make foot but are the only manufacturer of baseball gloves in the USA
trainman Mills Thanks for the info! Yeah, I was wondering if they were the same Nocona, as the baseball glove manufacturer, since the names are spelled differently.
To be totally accurate, while both companies were/are based in Nocona, TX, they are not the same manufacturer. The Boot company was founded by Enid Justin in 1925, and the The Glove company was founded by Cad McCall and T.B. Wilkes in 1926. They probably took advantage of the leather tradesmen in the area and just made different products. To this day, the Nokona Glove company works as an independent, American made/Owned operation, and the Nokona Boot company is a subsidiary of the Justin Boots Corporation.
They make great gloves. I have bought a few for my sons. Nicona gloves are made to last a lifetime.
Different companies. Nocona boots was started by Justin's daughter. When he died the boys moved Justin to El Paso and the girl started a new boot company in Nocona. Eventually Nocona boots was bought out by Justin and moved to El Paso. After the ball glove company had their factory burn down they moved into the old boot factory.
Nocona
Nocona's are the first pair of cowboy boots I ever owned. My Dad bought them for me when I was 14. 30 Years later, after a resole, and 8 more pairs of cowboy boots now in my collection, they are still my favorite. Broken in like an old friend, they fit so well.
What's not to like about QUALITY hand craftsmanship. Love it!
Gary Burg thank you very much!
I could not believe that you guys were not familiar with the Nocona brand!
I love Nocona, Tony Llama and I’m fixing to try Tecovas.
When I die, I will be buried in my boots.
AWESOME JOB!!!
Beautiful video, informative and without idle chatter and awful music to distract the viewer. For me, it is a pleasure to watch people who are good at what they do, doing it. Thank you.
I have owed a half dozen pairs of Nocona boots over the years. I currently owe a pair of lizard and a pair of ostrich. They always hold up well and are very comfortable. the calf portion always had a little wider opening adding to the comfort. Miss Enid Justin was the daughter of H. R. Justin.Founder of Justin Boot Co. She carried on her daddy's tradition in the town he so dearly loved, Nocona ,Texas. Hence the name. My boots were purchased in Nocona Texas. Don't know where they are made now. Excellent renewal of those boots. They are quality made. back when quality meant something.
Made in China now along with Justin etc..
My great grandfather was a cobbler. Started in NYC, moved to Sonora Mexico, then to Ruston WA. I have prints at work in TN of his shoes on his life long client, George Herman (Babe) Ruth.
Nice to see that folks are keeping the tradition alive. Too many otherwise good shoes/boots get tossed because the neighborhood cobbler is pretty much a lost art.
Nocona is a good boot, well made and you made them even better with your repairs. I have watched several of your videos and there is no doubt that you do quality work and it shows in the end results.
That’s fascinating, I had no idea the cork went in as a kind of mushy mixture. I just presumed it was a solid that was cut into shape.
Thanks for sharing your videos, there’s always something new to learn in them.
Claire Bear You can use either type. The soft cork, such as this, or the harder cork. We use both.
It looks like crunchy peanut butter to me, especially the way it's spread on there like you'd spread said peanut butter on a slice of bread. :)
@@hotwax9376 omg same
The most comfortable pair of boots I own! Nacona has been in business for over 100 years. Not too many can say that!
I can't be the only person that really enjoys the sounds of the leather being worked. That's one of the reasons I started leatherworking myself.
Nocona Boots, from Nocona, Texas has a great history for those that are interested. I always enjoy your videos
Do you have a video on it
Its midnight and I'm watching cowboy boots being repaired but I'm not disappointed, I'll continue watching.
I really like the toe clip. Definitely looks nicer with it. In all honesty, my favorite part of all your videos is the cutting and pulling sounds.
So relaxing
A gentleman's touch on a workman's shoe, kinda classy.
Not afraid of a shot of whiskey nor a cup of tea.
Watching your work this morning with my coffee, I felt my inner anthropologist awakened. I was struck by what a beautiful example this restoration is of the complexity and elegance of human culture. You have a large number of very complex machines which which have been developed over decades, possibly even centuries, of cobbling. And the work involves a vast number of different kinds of materials, all of which also have been developed over decades, or possibly centuries. And yet every single step you take involves the use of the human hand and the opposable thumb, the interaction of the brain and the hands. This video really made me aware of how amazing we humans are. Thanks for your great love of your craft. It shows
I need to know the brand of coffee you drank 😉
Well-said ...and similar things occurred to me (the 2 men are continuing an art and skill of cobblers). The vids are educational for those who will watch and learn how their craft is done.
So glad I found this channel. I feel like you are hometown boys even though I live in rural Southern Illinois halfway between St. Louis and Nashville. When we go to the city, Nashville gets our money. I love The Cheeserie. I’m going to share your channel with my kids. When my daughters heel feel off, I told her to go to a shoe repair shop. She looked at me like I was crazy. So many younger people have no idea this work is done. Thanks for keeping it alive and spreading the knowledge.
Susan Russell thank you very much for the kind words!
Nashville has some great music (and great cobblers, apparently), but St. Louis has some pretty good food as I understand. My younger cousin is currently attending Concordia Seminary in St. Louis and is set to graduate at the end of this coming year. (Right now he's doing his vicarage in Phoenix.) I hope to attend his graduation if plans work out and COVID has slowed down sufficiently, and maybe try out some of the food in and around St. Louis while I'm there.
HotWax93 You definitely need to go to The Hill for some great Italian food. There is a lot to choose from else where in the city too.
I can’t believe I just heard a man from the south say he’s never heard of Nocona boots😁
Correct; I was pretty surprised as well ... anyone who has worn American made boots knows about Nocona
I kinda get it, I grew up in oklahoma, land of the cowboy boots and ive never owned or worn a pair lol
I know, what is wrong with him? Must not do many pairs of boots. 🤔
i have two pair
I appreciate how much of this process was done by hand and why thanks so much
Abeloth Prime Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
Outstanding demonstration of the cobbler’s skilled hands. Very impressive videography technique showing excellent details of each step of the restoration. Probably your best shoe repair video ever. Your new shop looks amazing. Thank you, keep up the great work!
Chuck Boyle thank you very much! You’re too kind.
Always heard good things of Noconas... nice to see some solid construction techniques used to make them. Beautiful rebuild, would've also enjoyed the visual of finishing after the wooden pegs were clipped. Nice work gents.
Don't know how I ended up here watching but definitely satisfying to watch these guys put new life to old boots. Excellent craftsmanship !
I have like a weird love for sewing leather and shoes myself by hand rather than using a machine it's got smth almost meditative to it... maybe I'm just crazy... yeah that's probably it 😆
11:10 my heart skipped a few beats.
Fantastic as always, gentleman.
Mark Schaefer thank you very much!
I was thinking, "Watch your thumb, watch your thumb! WATCH YOUR THUMB!"
Another excellent repair video. Thanks so much. Hard to believe that anyone has not heard of Nokona. They are a cowboy classic.
I especially appreciated the focus on making welt. Would love to see a detailed video on welt making. Dimensions, what leather to use, where to cut stitch groove, and so forth.
Not only is your craftsmanship impeccable, I'm really impressed with the quality of your videos. Works great with the both of you each doing your part. Thanks Guys and keep them coming!
smitty1952 thank you very much!
I’m always so impressed with what the oak dowel does to the soles! 💕
What exactly does it do? It went over my head.
@@mattbrown9484 burnishes the leather.
The color/patina on those soles looks amazing. The more I see you putting toe caps on shoes, the more I really like it.
staguar thank you very much!
thank you very much!
I had a pair of Nocona work boots years back. Many years back. Switched to Tony Lama's cuz I lived in El Paso. Have nothing but really good to say about the Nocona's. Your job on these really pops!...
Joe Burks thank you very much!
TH-cam: wanna watch some shoes being repaired
Me: But TH-cam, I have no interest in shoe repair
2 days later....... Still watching shoe repair videos 😂😂😂
Same!!! Lol!!!
I love watching true craftsmen apply the skills of their trade, and you two never fail to impress! You’ll always get a thumbs up from me! I and so many others really appreciate you. Thank you, and keep up the great work and videos!
this kind of shoemaker no longer exists in France
well done it's beautiful and good work
Its Fathers Day down here in Australia, as I wait for the family to get up i am enjoying your hard work and lessons, thankyou, enjoy your holiday with your families. Chil
sea2side thank you so very much for watching!
It is nice to see craftsmen like you fighting the wasteful tendencies of a throw away society.
Another fantastic video! These in-depth refurbishment videos are a wonderful showcase for the skills that you both have. Well done gentlemen
Thank you so much, Kevin!
A thumbs up is a small ask for such quality videos.
Mr. Tibbs thank you very much!
Watching Trenton and Heath tear apart a pair of boots is as satisfying as popping bubble wrap. I can watch these videos for hours.
Thank you both for sharing your work! True craftsman.
Great work! The toe plates are a nice touch. 😊
I LOVE the new close up videography, great job guys !!!
Great job, it's nice to see shoes and boots re-soled and reconditioned the right way. 👍🏻
Poetry in action. Soothing as always. Thanks
Beautiful work!
Beautiful craftsmanship!!!!
Great craftsmanship !!! Great to see your talent & pride you put into your restorations !!!
Great job!!! The boots look great !!!
What craftsmanship! Love the channel. Thank you for educating me on how to take care of shoes and the entire process.
So awesome to see you guys work on the boots and shoes. High quality with a wealth of knowledge is obvious. 🔥
Gentlemen you both are true masters at your craft, it is a pleasure to watch you work.Thank you for doing what you do in. Disposable society.
Heath did a good job on the stitching.
I noticed that too!
Beautiful work of art! This stuff relaxes me. I love it!
You guys do such great quality work that I became convinced that boots are the way to go versus non repairable shoes.
Major props to your skills and attention to detail!
Awesome craftsmanship!
Love the rebuild and boot and color.
This is fascinating! I love the craftsmanship, techniques, materials and tools you show.
Love my Nacona boots and my Nakona baseball glove too. Great to see that much awaited cowboy boot video.
Amazing craftsmanship.
Super result !
What a craftsman beautiful job!
Stunning craftsmanship, I love it. Thank you for sharing. Regards, Chris.
Beautiful work. I've been wearing cowboy boots for years and I had no idea about the cork
Awesome work!!!
What an amazing company. A lost art. Great job!
Great video guys, hope you have a great weekend
Turned out fantastic
That bobbin is huge! I've never seen that pulled out of the machine before seeing this video. Man, I love your guys' work!
When my ostrich gets worn out I already know who to send it to 👍🏼 jr
I really enjoy to see your restoration videos!
I wish I could learn to do that.🤩
You guys are the best. I have no words to express my admiration for the professional job that you do.
I normally don’t trust a man with hair I could ramp my skateboard off of, but you won me over with your impressive skills.
Great craftsmanship.
From one who loves cowboy boots, damn fine work. Wow !
Just found your channel the other day. I have been binge watching your videos. I can appreciate an excellent quality pair of shoes. Watching you do your work is very relaxing. TY.☺
Fantastic, thank you so much for doing this one. Always great craftsmanship and that shows through in all your videos. Look forward to the next one 😃
Sam Stirling thank you very much for watching our videos!
Great video and inspirational, my father had a pair of these and wore them all the way down to his toe nails.
Reminds me of my boyhood trips to "Tom & Tiddle" Shoe Shop in Enid, Oklahoma with my father. Ah, the smells I smelled in that shop. Watching your work, they all come back.
It is wonderful to witness Artisans practicing their craft.
Thank you
Thanks for the video! I always wondered how this was done!
Great job and very interesting to see the "insides" of boots! Thanks for making this!!!
Patrick McMahon thank you very much!
I was told that Justin Boot Co started in Nocona Tx. The family split up, one side had Justin and the other side started Nocona boot co. Both were still in Nocona Tx back then. Both boots were made pretty much the same way.
Thank ya very much! I love Nocona boots a lot! (Specifically their older stuff, not their new stuff)
Bedo uploaded a cowboy boot yesterday and now you guys today. A little friendly cobbler competition maybe 😉
No, just fate, I guess.
We plan our videos weeks in advance.
so satisfying to watch =) these boots look incredible.
I really impressed the way you restore this boots just like in the factory
Very relaxing to watch ❤️
Great video. Been waiting on viewing this one. Nacona boots are big here in Texas especially the older ones. Thanks for the video and have a great holiday weekend. Be safe. Thanks
Joaquin -Jack Nava Thank you! You do the same.
Another great video! Your guys attention to detail is by far the best!
Roberto Romero thank you very much!
I just love to see this hand craft!
Chigita Kazuhiro thank you very much!
One of the most satisfying videos I have ever watched! Beautiful craftsmanship. Favorite part was the cork 🤠
Nocona Boots have been around since 1880s. Up until about 30 years ago they we're handmade. I don't know about today. Normally Nocona will rebuild the boots if the customer sends them back to the factory in Nocona, TX at a cost of course. You pay for shipping there and they will ship them back with no shipping charge. It's a decent quality boot. As good as I have come across. Like the old Tony Lamar use to be. Just thought I would share the info. I'm old enough to remember when we had very good boot makers. Lisa Sorrow boots are top notch too.
Most cowboy boot now days are made in Leon, Mexico
Just came up on recommendations. Subed to watch later. Have been wanting to make my own boots because I cant find any that fit
looks like a fantastic job
That's a piece of art! So much work on this boots and final result is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Brazil
Wendell Mendes thank you very much!
An interesting video. The amount of skill and handwork was incredible to watch. Awesome attention to detail and craftsmanship here.
Great to see This! I have two pairs of Nocona boots, one of which is black lizard. They are excellent boots. I'd love to see another video with boots that have "doggin" heels. It would be cool to see how you create that tapered, undercut heel shape.
Great looking boots. I like when guys have/ choose nice footwear.
awesome job, had no idea all the skill involved.
