Chippewa Snake Boots | Rugged Vibram Sole Upgrade
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- A customer mailed this pair of Chippewa snake boots to us for a bit of an overhaul. He wanted to upgrade soles, which is what we accomplished. The soft, crepe Vibram soles that were on the boots wear out quickly, and when you're in nature, potentially around a venomous snake, that's not the time to have a sole blow out on you. Per the customers request, we added durable and rugged Vibram Montagna soles. We also gave these boots a bit of an upgrade with the German pit tanned leathers we used for the midsoles. It's time for another restoration!

These are MY boots. I had no idea a video would be produced. I received in the mail yesterday and was blown away by how incredible they looked. I sent an email to customer service stating how pleased I was - thats when Trent gave me the heads up on the TH-cam video. My wife and I just watched and were amazed. Such excellent craftsmanship - thanks very very much. Best money I have ever spent. Sincerely - Paul Stovall - SC
Thank you again for sending them to us! We’re glad you like them. 👍
How much was this service?
@@juancervantes7021 sorry - its been two years and I do not remember. I went to there website and ordered the new soles with lugs - I had no idea they were going to totally redo the boots. I think it was $180 - just not sure. But they have been outstanding for the hills I work on.
Sun is shining, some bourbon on the shelf, Trenton and Heath released a new video. Who could ask for more? The change in the videography is noted and appreciated. Makes you guys seem even more welcoming to your viewers.
this! my only suggestion would be if they got some front lights to emphasise their faces more in the studio shots
Thank you sir! We’re glad you like it. It seems like folks like the change, so I guess we’ll be seeing more of it. Have a great Sunday!
Like I said, it reminds me of Olive Garden, so I like it.
I love the shop work but the sound has a lot of echo. If you add some sound damping acoustical panels up high to some of the walls, it may deaden the echo. Overall you can tell that you two are trying to improve the overall quality!
I hope the customers that own the shoes and boots that the guys do videos on watch the video and see how much work went into there restoration
yup definitely a good background, a fresh facade doesn't hurt,great job guy's 👍
Why didn't you put a channel in where the stitches were going to run it seems like the two pieces of leather would stick together without a row of stitching that is not inlaid
Yup I like the background in the studio. It gives a more “finished” and “professional” air to your video, not that they weren’t professional looking before. The sound quality for your introduction and outro are clearer in your studio.
Yeah, we noticed some mic issues too. We’ll get it up and running. 👍
@@TrentonHeath the sound in the studio will always be better just due to the room size I think guys 😊
@@TrentonHeath love the videos anyways 👍
A quote for the ages: "When you are out in the woods, you gotta have good looking boots." Oddly, a perfect metaphor for life in general.
And I thought I had seen it all--but carpet padding? Jeez! 🤨
Another great job, gentlemen. Thanks! 🤙
😉 Thank you!
Good to see both you guys working together in the same video
Thank you!
Yeah that was a nice treat.
They are as good as gold! Not a word in the workshop, we could almost hear a fly fly 😉
I personally loved you explaining why you did what you did and the reason for doing it. For instance, the thing with the saddle soap and that it shouldn't be used on fabric, and why. Also enjoyed you explaining the brush you used and why you used that.
The different backdrops for the start and end of the video gives a great "bookend"-quality of the video. Short intro: what we are going to do. Then the meat & potatoes of the repairs, only to lead into a closing part where you take stock and conclude. That way it doesn't come off as a "vlog", but more as a show.
Wow carpet padding. I guess you don’t know what’s in there till you have the boots resoled. I do like the background. The studio wood back grounds is a nice touch. Thanks for today’s video and have a great Sunday. Hope your video editor is feeling better.
Thank you! We always appreciate you watching.
Finally decided to subscribe. I discovered you guys during a tough week when I was having sleep issues, so I stayed up until 4 AM (I'd fall asleep at 11, then suddenly wake up at 1-2, feeling fully rested -- this went on for a week), drawing. While working on my drawings, I'd watch these vids. Thanks to you, I now take much more care of my footwear (I wear leather shoes and boots most of the time), bought my own shoe wax, conditioner, soap, etc... Thanks for taking care of my shoes and boots without even looking at them
I can t believe thats all people took away from this video. As usual yall did an amazing job basically rebuilding the bottoms with the best materials on one of the most expensive snake boots out there. I would have expected a much better factory build on these boots for the price !!! I have been thinking about getting a pair when my much less expensive pair wears out. I will now send mine to yall when the time comes.
A tip for guys looking to buy snake boots --- don t get the vibram soles on your boots if you live in an area with cockle burrs. They stick to the soles and track into your house by the handfuls. If you have carpet or rugs on the floor. Anybody walking barefooted behind you will immediately begin to plot for revenge on you !!!! Cockle burrs in your underwear is not a good way to start your morning !!!!!
Now that is a southern accent! When he says “on” I think of “might could” and “recon”. Great video. Keep them coming.
Great job guys. My grandfather use to own a company in downtown town El Paso, Texas making luggage. I use to spend part of my summer vacation in his shop. He actually taught me how to make and repair luggage. His best friend and next door neighbor to his shop was Tony Lama. Your shop reminds me of my grandfather's shop. I can smell the leather! You guys are are practicing a lost art. Thumbs up!
I was having a bad day... until our pals uploaded a new video 😂
We hope we may your day a little brighter. 👍
I do floors for a living and I was about to say wow carpet padding LOL
Definitely need to do a battle of the brothers, rebuild a shoe or boot, and let the viewers choose their favorite
Yes, the shop and studio give your videos a sense of modern professionalism and Master craftmenship
I miss the sounds! The muffled sounds takes away some of the experience for me. I feel like I'm in the shop! Love the sound press makes cutting out a sole or heel.
This is a great video as usual, but the new addition of seeing you guys working side by side is very enjoyable. I hope it becomes a regular thing. Thanks 👍👍
Thank you! Everyone seems to like it. 👍
So, I'm looking to buy a pair of Chippewa snake boots locally, and in my research, stumbled onto this video quite by accident. I didn't plan to watch it in it's entirety, though it's precisely what I did! I am so impressed with the high-level of craftsmanship and painstaking time and effort put forth, and the obviously sincere desire of these men to please their customers. I'd imagine their skills are not often found in our Country anymore, and especially in these times of so many "throw-away" products.
Until now, I really had no idea what it actually takes, to correctly re-sole a pair of boots. I have a newfound appreciation, regardless of any specific brand. Great job guys, and outstanding video! If I ever need future boot work done on my new Chippewa's, or any other boots for that matter, you'll definitely hear from me.
Blessings and respect from Texas,
G.
I like the shop setting over the new wood background personally. Thanks for asking for feedback.
I am not a cobbler, I have no idea how to fix shoes and its something I never want to try. But I was in the Australian Army for 20 years and I know the importance of a good pair of boots and shoes and I find your videos fascinating. I am also a furniture restorer now so I love the timber backdrop in your studio.
As many before me have said, "who would have thought I could sit and watch shoe repair all day", but count me in! Great work men! God Bless!
The shop looks great, the boots look great, after watching your videos I have become a "cobblyist" cobbler/ hobbyist of sorts myself. Thanks guys!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them.
Yes to your questions!! But don’t be afraid to change as your operation gets bigger. One day it will be Potter and Sons and Grandchildren 😎
Cheers and all the best.
Like the new background and your new facilities. Could we get a tour one day when you are done. I keep seeing new stuff each week. I love the old tools with the new surroundings.
I think the audio in the beginning is much better and I like the background. The shots if both of y'all working helps put into perspective a typical shop environment.
Yea, I like the studio opening/closing. Much easier and clearer to hear
I like the studio look. Especially the difference in appearance between the studio and the shop.
I love the background! It's warm and suits your profession as cobblers. Keep it up guys!
I see when it was published but yes - definetly thumbs up on the background. Gives your videos a sense of structure.
You guys are right on the money about dirt breaking stitches. I had a pair of redwings I wore on construction sites I never cleaned and kept in the work van. After not too long the boots fell apart. I tried shoe glue but it was too late. I should have cleaned them weekly.
Great to see you together working on a set of shoes. Also it is good to see how you decided to use glue. Nice backdrop.
Just purchased a pair of your Buffalo men’s sandals and the leather smell is outstanding. They are much lighter than I anticipated which is a good thing. After only 10 minutes they felt as comfortable as anyone could hope for. Great sandals.
Great to hear! We appreciate you supporting us, and we hope you enjoy them. Tell your friends! 😉👍
The background is more elegant,without a doubt..
Montagna - the gn sounds like gnome, gnarly, nearly silent g.
Made like 5m from my mom's place north of Milan, so it's always fun to see them used around the world!
When are we getting a shop tour?!? Love your work, guys.
-Brian
The studio is very good looking. Here in the desert southwest, Snake-boots are common. You did a nice job fixing those up.
Yeap, always making boots better. Nothing more satisfying to see than a boot back to life and the accent wall make the beginning and the end very interesting. Great work guys.
New background is a nice touch. You guys have a top notch classy operation.
Studio looks great! Your intro and summaries shows you appreciate and care for your audience. Thanks for the video!
The new background is great. The new camera angles and filming are great as well. Who knew watching boots being repaired could be so entertaining. Thanks guys.
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed.
Love the wall covering. I just put deck boards on my man cave/bedroom walls and ceiling. There are cracks between boards, but they were put on top of the sheet rock. Room now kind of reminds me of a barn. There maybe some underlying mental things going on, but it makes me feel good. Further more if I ever need to get behing a board, I can just unscrew it, do my work, then screw it back on.
I just love your glue pot! It must have a heap of stories about the 2 of you!!
Looks to me what you do is very rewarding. Know that I really enjoy cleaning and shining an item to make it look better.
The new background is great. I like the rustic look. Those snake boots look great.
Like the new intro/exit. Set looks great. Unfortunately we are losing our local cobblers here. They've been in business since 1926 and have decided now would be a good time to close up shop and retire. They are going to be missed by the community. I've had them work on a number of pairs of boots and shoes over the years, but come April 16 I'm going to have to find another place to get my work done. It's always a shame to see a business that has been around for so long shuttered. I remember as a kid walking past their shop downtown and being able to smell the leather and other chemicals that they used coming out the front door.
Awesome background. Warm and inviting workshop. Great place to work. Beautiful finish of the snake boot. Love it
Awesome I mean that just awesome. Such a noble and honest profession all but lost. Three things used to be in the heart of any town in the past a blacksmith a gunsmith and Cobbler! That you took up this work in this age is remarkable. Kudos to you I enjoy your site and the posts you do amazing work.
Thank you for the cleaning instructions for cleaning the fabric on work boots.
Back ground is great, but still nice to see you guys working in the workshop.
The background is very cool. The wood has an earthy feel, and working with the leather is also organic. The materials go together- natural.
Love the background the color, elegant country style...Excellent job. Thanks 😊
Love the studio work, and you're repairing of these many shoes and boots. Good job gentlemen. God bless.
I enjoyed seeing you two working side by side!
that's a nice background. I enjoy seeing different parts and machines in your shop.
awesome job on the snake boots and love the new background. may have to send in an old pair of my boots to refresh
Trenton and Heath:
1. You all are definitely the essence of reinventing of not only a new sole and complete construction of any footwear, but adding true love for the craft!
2. Couldn’t imagine any other cobbler honestly cobbling my footwear from their heart as you all!!! Those soles look amazing and indestructible for at least 10 years!!
-Job Excellently Done✨👌🏼-
Zohair Merchant
Thank you so much, Zohair!
Great background - very Tennessee - ish. Sort of rustic, yet modern and relaxing.
And here I was excited to see some snake skin boots.
The studio intro/outro is great. Gives a very professional vibe to the video.
Loving the more casual look. I'm glad someone owns a t-shirt with stains, looks great! I've gotta send you my WW2 boondockers for repair. Pour yourselves some of that Kentucky windage tonight gentlemen.
My vote for the background setup, just like what was needed. Boots surely gonna go to the edge of the Earth and back.
yup, i like that background, it also gets rid of the echo you had on the intro and outro of the videos because of being in such an open space
I enjoy watching you work together as a pair
Yeah, that background looks pretty good.
The new background is good fellas! Another terrific job! Thanks
Love the studio guys, looks really good.
Delighted to see the new video uploaded so quickly. I think that I speak for a lot of people when I say that the new side - by- side shooting style is 👍👍. Gentlemen, you continue to knock it out of the park in terms of content and production value!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the feedback and you watching.
Hey y'all could do this from your barn and I would watch...anytime I watch a true craftsman do their work its good stuff...and with y'all I get two of them...keep it up please...👍👍👍🤚😎
Love the new background!!!! The sound is way better 🙏🙏🙏 all the way around great!!!
Love the wide shots of the workshop. I think you've got a pretty good layout there. Nothing is more than a step or 2 away, yet you keep enough space that both of you can work without getting in each others' way. I still would love to see and hear the details on the machine tools. Good job.
Thank you for the feedback!
Gentlemen, i love all your videos but please! It’s been over two months since i’ve last seen the forbidden oatmeal and it is my favorite part of these videos
When I saw the title, it reminded me that my father has an old pair of Mexican snake head boots with snake heads with rubies for the eyes. 🤣 Love the guy.
Yes, love the studio background. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work. 👞 👠 👡 👢 🥾
Love the background. Also love the different shots in the shop. Great job!
Great video as always. Yes, thumbs up to the background. Looks nice and the studio had less voice echo than in workshop. 👍
The set looks GR8! The lighting is better which means higher production value; which most people don’t perceive overtly but on a more subliminal level. The like the videos more but can’t quite put their finger on why. Keep up the GR8 work!
Studio look is excellent. Enjoyed the long shot of both of you working. I also appreciate that you talk only when necessary. The sounds of cobblery are a big part of the appeal of your content.
Thank you!
Nice to see American craftsmen working. There's hope for us yet!
Love the new background. Maybe a Trenton and Heath logo between the lamps
I like the background a lot for the intro and outro! Looks super slick
I'd love to see an episode for First Responders on taking care of Duty boots. We are issued or have to buy our own, so they are typically on the cheaper end and get the snot beat out of them. I'd be interested in your take.
Yep love the back drop. Very classy
Nice work guys! Really appreciate the wider shots, showing both of you working together. And the intro/outro in the studio!
Never understood why people don't clean their shoes when they send em to be repaired, a quick brush, atleast get the dirt off. You guys do awesome work.
Have a pair of the Chippewa snake boots and a pair of Russell Moccasin snake boots. The soles on the Chippewa wore smooth in one year (real slippery on muddy ground) . So I bought a pair of Russell's made to order. Cost almost 3X the price of the Chippewa's. Little heavier because of the Vibram sole but a wonderfully comfortable boot. I wasn't sure if the Chippewa's could be resoled. Now I know! Like the changes in the video's!
The intro and outros are great just the way they are.
Love the warm toned background
Nice addition to your videos with the studio. You should use it to showcase your final transformation as well. Boots look awesome.
Thank you!
Background nice, and the craftsmanship you guys did on those was Awesome!!!
The new background is great! My literal sense of humor put a visual picture to the name of this type of boots. Have a great week!
G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺, The wooden back ground looks good and the boots came up really good regards John
I love this video. I hear whan you talk and dont have ptsd when you hit the hamer. AMAZING!!
Bad Ass pair of boots! Beautiful work! Your video shop techniques are constantly improving. Great vids!
Fantastic job!, like the backdrop but to be honest it reminded me of a trendy bar somewhere- remember going in those?!! 😂😂
Great job. Studio shots are real nice. I like the wood background.
Amazing Job on the Boots! Love the new background!
Intro and outtro are good idea. Like the background! Great job on the boots!
You made them better than the factory did. Outstanding job. You never disappoint.
Missed day video was released - check ✔️
Feel nervous while Stanley knife cutting is going on ✔️ 😬
Nice to see all the togetherness in your new space, it looks great ✔️👌🏻
Here in Australia where we have the deadliest snakes in the world, I've never seen the snake dudes wearing snake boots, just regular ankle boots (or whatever!). Ya gotta know your snakes in this neck of the woods! 🐍😉
I thought this was a dead craft dying craft good to see that coming back
New background looks good - very rustic! Good sound!
