Trenton & Heath, a short story on hiking boots. Until recent years when cancer etc. left me permanently and significantly disabled, for over 40 years I was an avid hiker and mountaineer here in the Colorado Rockies. One year my wife and I had a second honeymoon "walking" (i.e. rugged hiking) in the Lake District in England. I had a pair of well broken-in Vasque boots made when they still had similar construction to these boots. I made sure they were cleaned, lubricated, and ready to go. Sure enough, on the first hard day of hiking, mid-way between hamlets they completely blew out. It was the stitching too close to the edge that did that pair in. So I hobbled into a very small town that had only a pub, a small general store, and thankfully a hard-core mountaineering shop where I replaced them with the best boots I ever owned - a hand-made pair of Italian Fabiano hiking boots. They were way more expensive than our budget then, but to my delight, there really was no break-in period - the boots were comfortable from the first day onward. Quality in things you are serious about is always worth it.
Firstly, what a great old school pair of hiking boots and what a great job you have done. I did giggle at your acetone comment as when I was a teenager in the 1970’s back in Devon in England in the summer holidays I earned money ( my mum was big on me knowing the value of working for my own money) working for my brother who used to glass fibre fishing boat hulls. This was long before the days of health and safety and I remember at the end of a working day we used to soak our hands in a tub of acetone to dissolve the glass fibres! Thankfully, no lasting affects on me, thankfully, no lasting affects on me, thankfully, no lasting affects on me.. :) if you ever get to Austria, I’ll take you to my local church which is the magnificent cathedral in Klosterneuburg, you will love it!
I’m glad y’all mentioned Nicks! I live in the Mississippi Delta and I’m about to buy my first pair. I know I’ll eventually need them resoled and I was thinking about sending them to y’all for that purpose.
Lucky me, I watched a couple of Nick’s videos yesterday and was curious about the stitch down. Lo and behold your video comes out today and the stitch down is explained! Thanks guys!
Half lemon’s worth of juice and a teaspoon is a good way to get rid of the tarnish around the brass. I use that trick on old cars with corroded original wiring
I thought it was crazy that my friend had her boots for 30 years I didn't know this was a thing. She had doc martins. She just bought a brand new pair on sale. I'm a tennis shoes person, or barefoot you can say...so I don't really buy "boots", but I find it interesting how long people will keep them, and then seeing you guys do all the work of restoring them. It's so satisfying even though I don't wear boots myself of coarse lol :)
I enjoy watching you gentlemen ply your trade. Thank you for these wonderful videos that are absolute proof that humans are capable of making a remarkable things. Of course, you are both craftsmen in the truest possible sense.
I loe the story of this shoe ! It literally alows a son to keep walking in his father's shoes. The historical signifigance and the family connection is priceless ! Awesome video ! And blad heads are great heads ! :-)
Good job, but why are you using Rehagol (which is for TR/Latex soles) on rubber outsoles? The right product would be e.g. Kömmerling Halosol S. I bet Renia has an alternative aswell.
I love the vids you guys do. I’ve learned a lot, and updated my footwear a lot thanks to you. I’m no long quite as much of a 40yo “vet bro”. I actually have bought a couple pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes based on your reviews. One pair was a nearly new pair of brogue derbies. I then started watching Elegant Oxford’s patina vids. I tried it, and was WAY too heavy handed on the dye. Acetone pulled it back off enough to start over, and after some cream polish and Saphir mirror polish I’m thrilled! Finally, your keeps promotion cracks me up. I was the guy balding at 22, but I went the other way. I’ve looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin for 20yrs now. Looking like an angry bouncer isn’t for everyone I guess. Great vids, and keep up the good work.
@@TrentonHeath First of all I'm not a cobbler, I watched with interest the process of restoring these tired boots, what surprises me is removing the midsole, I had a pair of Zamberlan Stenico walking boots resoled in 1992 and all they did was remove the old Vibram Montagna sole and glue on a new sole, the boots were blake sewn, would this make any difference?
Those are more like old friends than old boots. Nice work guys. Could you do a full overlay along the lower inch or more of the uppers and with toe-cap made with one piece of leather? "Stitched on" of course but probably needing a wider welt. It was fairly common for logging /caulk boots around here in Western Washington. Although nowadays I'm more into high end dress shoes but I still love my old high top work boots for in the woods. That was a Great video!
Love your videos! Although many of these makeovers might not be financially worth it, they are certainly lovely to watch for different values. It would be interesting to hear more of your analysis and decision making process when working on the boots. I.e. what condition you think the uppers are in, what things are worn out in the construction, why did you decide to do choose this method of repair over another etc. This video was a good example where you did go into some juicy details!
Good morning guys. The boots turned out looking great. It would be interesting to know how much those boots cost when new and what a boot made like that would cost today. I'm also curious as what you used to remove all the heavy oxidation off of the brass hooks and eyelets and get them looking so good. BTW Happy and blessed Easter to you and your families.🐥🐰
. The Green or Blueish Green appearing stuff is usually Verdigris which as you mention is Corrosion. One of the Worst parts of it is if it’s on one piece of metal it will spread to all others if not removed. Museum Curators often use acetone but it requires copious separate rinsing with water to insure complete removal so any size spots of buildup are best removes via toothpicks, Q-Tips &/or a Soft Kids toothbrush. Animal fats often contained in boot dubbing along with dampness or water start it so it’s a longtime problem on sheath knives with brass hilts or copper rivets that it has left ‘scarred’ deeply from long storage in humid conditions. .
interesting for myself I bought a pair of White's boot over thirty years ago I still wear them. They have rebuilt them 3 times so far. Now they cost $420.00 and we made just for me, Having measured my foot and leg in 10 different places. My dress boat were made by White's as well. They are the best
Hi guys, this was another amazing restoration of a great pair of used and abused boots. You guys are awesome and second to none. Great work on you guys part. Happy Easter!
When I read “Vintage hiking boots” I thought for sure it was my Vasque boots I sent to you a few months ago. I’ll keep watching till it’s my turn! Love the vids!
You’re up next. Did anyone at our shop reach out to you to see if you had any pics of you wearing those boots on your trips? If you have any, that would be great! Comments get lost on here (so many), so please feel free to email them to customerservice@potterandsons.com if you do. Thanks!
It would be interesting to see a boot repair that requires restitching/repair of the uppers. I have a pair of Pivetta Mt. 10's. On the 5th or 6th set of souls. Probably 5000 miles of backpacking on them. Keeping them is a sentimental thing at this point as the uppers need work. Is there a reason you don't work on uppers? Are the boots gone at that point? Want a challenge?
I was dumb enough to think I could resole a pair of boots myself ( got a 6" pair of Chippewas on clearance ) that I'm working on right now, and hand stitching a midsole sure as heck isn't fun. I had high hopes for them as a summer work boot but it turned out the soles were not slip resistant and I couldn't wear them to work. I started to resole them but realized It wasn't going well enough for them to likely hold up at work. Fast forward a couple years of having tossed them in a closet and I need a light duty shop shoe, so I decided to pick the project back up hoping I can at least wind up with something good enough for that.
I have apair of old buffalo loggers i picked up in the uk very similar to those but with logging spikes in ... they look very old leather still in good nick ....
Those boots looks suspiciously like pre-Danner Ft Lewis. I had a pair that were just godzillas I wore them many years.... love the videos and appreciate the time effort and interest in taking us along for the ride.
I think they're Danner Rain Forest boots. Different from the Ft Lewis' as they have brass eyelets and hooks. I wore Ft Lewis' boots every winter when in Korea (2x) and in the Balkans for a year. No better boots. Outclassed everything the Army could/would issue.
3 Video's this week. Thanks for the info on the higher priced shoes, valuable information for sure. I am always amazed what you guys can do with a pair of beat up boots or shoes.. Truly enjoy your video's that you make..And, judging by subscriber number, other people do as well...
Hey guys I know you don't remember talking to me me but I had the privilege of talking with you about your dad and his Air Force career and I lost my son on active duty Air Force a couple of years ago. Any way still love the videos and I noticed you use allot of sapphire products, are those your go to products. I definitely would still like to visit up there and shake your hands and hear some of your dad's Air Force stories. Take care guys and keep up the fantastic work.
When I was a Deputy Sheriff, I only wore one pair of Danner’s for nearly 15 years. Had them rebuilt by Danner once. Those look like a sturdy pair of Danner boots.
@@ms.annthrope415 They still make their top end boots in the US. And they are still great boots. Unfortunately, most People just don’t want to pay for quality any more. So I can’t blame a company outsourcing some of their lower quality options. Only way to stay in business unless you have a niche.
I have a pair of old Hall's boots I wore when I was a lineman. Those things are built tough. I would go through normal boots every couple months but the halls have held up for years. I guess with over a $400 price tag at the time, they should of held up 😂 I believe they are Matterhorn leather.
Do you take pictures as you strip them down to remember how they were put together or at this stage you just know how to rebuild? Like remembering the placement of brass tacks and such.
Happy Easter Gents. Those boots look fantastic. How many hours were put into resoling those buts. They now look like that will last another 50 or so years.
Question for you guys: if the stitch-out method has so many drawbacks and isn't as water right as a 360 Goodyear, why do so many boot makers still use it? Nick's, Viberg, White's, etc., they all seem to use it extensively. Does it really save that many steps and that much material in the process, or is there some benefit to the method? I haven't heard it discussed on any of the channels I watch on here, just pretty consistent criticism of the method vs a 360 Goodyear welt.
I need this exact operation performed on my Georgia boots the lip on the sole sticks out way way to much I trip on steps and these things need traction just flat and need to be much much lighter these things are so heavy...I need your help!!!???? I don't remember my georgia boot being like this in the late 90's same boot too.
I have a question. I have a pair of Red Wing #4216 with the BOA System. They need a little clean up and more protection added. They are either nubuck or suede. What are the best products for cleaning? I can't find a guide anywhere. Thanks.

Trenton & Heath, a short story on hiking boots. Until recent years when cancer etc. left me permanently and significantly disabled, for over 40 years I was an avid hiker and mountaineer here in the Colorado Rockies. One year my wife and I had a second honeymoon "walking" (i.e. rugged hiking) in the Lake District in England. I had a pair of well broken-in Vasque boots made when they still had similar construction to these boots. I made sure they were cleaned, lubricated, and ready to go. Sure enough, on the first hard day of hiking, mid-way between hamlets they completely blew out. It was the stitching too close to the edge that did that pair in. So I hobbled into a very small town that had only a pub, a small general store, and thankfully a hard-core mountaineering shop where I replaced them with the best boots I ever owned - a hand-made pair of Italian Fabiano hiking boots. They were way more expensive than our budget then, but to my delight, there really was no break-in period - the boots were comfortable from the first day onward. Quality in things you are serious about is always worth it.
Leather is an amazing material. Just the fact that it can bounce back from an acetone bath is surprising to me.
I normally shy away from putting acetone on leather, but it sure made it take the dye.

Great job of restoration on what must be 50+ year old boots. Wouldn’t mind owning a pair myself!

Curious what brand these boots are.
They look a lot like Danner Boots, but I’m not certain
They do look a lot like Danner, but all markings inside of the boot had worn off.
I second the Danner brand.
Look to me also like an old pair of Danners that had been to Philmont in northern New Mexico.

Amazing work! Question….did you replace the footbeds?
That’s what I wondered. Other than the scuffed uppers and worn Vibram, the boot looked to be in good shape.
No, we kept the original footbeds. They were still in good shape and were already molded to the owners feet.
I have a question. I have a pair of Red Wing #4216 with the BOA System. They need a little clean up and more protection added. They are either nubuck or suede. What are the best products for cleaning? I can't find a guide anywhere. Thanks.
