Your viewers are right. It is therapeutic to watch craftsmen at work.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Agree
Yes absolutely
Yep. I love the vintage mahines plus the ASMR.
Never underestimate the reassuring therapeutic value of watching someone perform a task that he is very good at. No matter what the task.
If someone had told me a couple years ago that I would really enjoy watching a couple cats doing shoe repairs, I would have said they were nuts.😬
😉😁👍 We appreciate you watching!
Agreed. N not to take the shine from these gentlemen wait till you go down the horse shoeing side of yt.
Started my strange addiction to this by finding some old Brian the Bootmaker videos. Epic.
@@grilawrfr101 I love the cow hoof trimming channels.
Mark Twain said that he loved hard work and that he could watch someone do it all day.
😂❤
I’m a mom, and yes, watching y’all’s videos is extremely calming after a 12 hour work day and a morning and night of caring for my 2 year old. My daughter and I will settle down and watch y’all and usually she’ll fall asleep.
We love it! Thanks so much for sharing that. It means a lot to us as well.
I always wonder how many ladies are into crazy boot channels like dudes 👍
Great to be able to re-use the welt and not have to re-do the other row of stitching on the side. As usual, superb job and bravo, gents!
Those polyurethane soles are nice. Got a bit of a squish to them and they wear down slower. Wolverine uses them on their wedge sole 1000 miles too.
I agree. I personally like them a bit more than the Vibram Christy sole.
I don't know about therapeutic. Watching Forrest satisfies prurient interests, and provides gratification.
Recovering from a stroke, last November. Watch videos and really enjoy them. Keep up the good work!
I've found your channel during the pandemic and for me was very terapeutical and relaxed me during that dark time. Thanks
So glad to hear that! Thank you for watching.
@@TrentonHeath greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for footage of todays video. Was a pleasure to see a nice friendly budget resole. Have a great weekend.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
RN here, when on break during or after a work, I frequently visit your or Adam Savage’s channel. It helps me escape, relax, and decompress for a bit.
I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I get excited when you guys upload a new video. I like seeing the craftsmanship of shoes getting repaired while also listening to the work getting done. I'm subbed to many different channels for relaxing and your guys channel is one of them.
Thanks for watching! We’re glad you enjoy them.
These videos are therapeutic! I've always enjoyed watching someone who knows their craft making the old look like new. Auto, aircraft, or motorcycle restoration, home renovation, and even shoe repair. Very satisfying!
I can't wait until you guys get a pair of Jim Green boots.
Good call. I actually have a pair of African Rangers that are about due for a resole!
@@dubester1982 Send them in. Then they can make a video of the process.
@@dubester1982 *Send them in! It'll make for a great video! In the email, you can tell them to make a video out of it too!*
@@sheckydiamond7533 I'm going to email them actually!'
I just went through two separate surgeries that had me down and off work for nearly three months. I watched several of your videos while healing. They are very therapeutic. Thank you
I don't know if other viewers would be interested in this but could you do a video of the machines that you use in the shoe repair craft?
Great job on a quality pair of boots, it's good to see there's still skilled Cobblers (shoe repair technicians) around. I used to scrub my leather jump boots twice a year like that back in the late 70's- early 80's. Thank you for a relaxing video..
Basic? possibly. However that "Basic" repair turned that pair of shoes into a completely different looking pair. Thats how good you guys are. Goes to show the results you can achieve by giving everything you have even doing the most basic of things. Love you guys man, plz keep up the hard work.
Agreed on the calming watching effects. My favorite channels to watch before bed are this and a furniture restoration channel. I love the long segments just showing the process with no voice over. Its comforting to watch something be treated well and made good again!
Came for a boot cleaning tutorial. Now I'm in marriage counseling. Thanks a lot Trenton.
Fantastic job even for the every man's boots and no frills. Its therapeutic because I enjoy craftsmanship and to quote my late father "Son if you're going to do something then do it right. Put your time and talents into the work because half-assed is only your half best ". Yep that's almost 40 years of being a sheet metal tinsmith passing down straight forward wisdom to us. I smile every time I get to use his old tools. Keep sending us videos of the labor of love dream for many years. Blessings
Great job they look awesome! Based on the welt I’m thinking those are 1907’s, I have the same boots, they’re my favorite boots I’ve ever owned.
Thank you! Yeah, they’re great boots.
It is simple in a world where there is a lot of hate and anger it's awsome to watch you do your magic.
Redwing upper with Thorogood type soles = best of both worlds. Great job!
My dad was a brick mason and wore boots just like these back in the 70's and 80's. He paid a lot of money for them and when they got wore he would have them resoled at a local boot repair store called Billy Byrds Western Store. (unfortunately it closed down years ago) I remember going with him to pick them up. They would look great just like these. Enjoyed the video.
These work boot resoles videos I really enjoy keep up the good work guys much love
These videos are extremely cathartic.
Like legit super relaxing .
I like the idea of learning about cobbling but I just figured we all liked these videos for that reason.
I sit around after work or on a day like today, a relaxing Sunday before heading back to work just listening and watching .
It is amazing how much I actually enjoy watching you transform shoes to original functionality. On a completely unrelated topic, I hope your dad is doing well these days, I haven't seen any Stormin Norman videos posted lately, and I always enjoyed his analysis of various situations. I thought surely he would have something to say about the political landscape we have these days.
Love seeing an old pair of boots get a new life 🙌🏽
It is true. They are extremely therapeutical. Just to watch the transformation of a shoe or boot - seems simple, but it is powerful.
Just cleaning them made a big difference. It was all up from there.
These guys and Revive are super relaxing to watch.
Another great transformation. Just the basics. Great video!
Great video as always!!
True about the videos being therapeutic. Often watch before going to bed. Switches off the mind from the days problems. Keep on doing them. ❤🇬🇧
I never thought of your videos as "therapeutic"...but hey, whatever works!
Different strokes for different folks, I suppose.
I nean it is true about your videos being therapeutic and relaxing. Its because how peoples brains are wired. Watching things start from nothing into something or seeing something all worn out be turned into something that look almost like new it's triggers those neurons in our brains. I mean have you ever sat down and watched Bob Ross paint and felt so calm and relaxed? Bob Ross is the OG of ASMR.
I watch multiple channels of people build, and crafting with their own 2 hands. I watch channels like yours that fix and repairs things.
A couple examples I watch a channel of a guy who's wheelchair bound with a neuromuscular disease and he creates masterpieces in the game Minecraft and theres a Polish guy who post in shop videos of his rug cleaning business. They're just so relaxing to watch while also being entertaining.
We completely agree! We both watch a lot of restoration videos, I love barber channels like “Haircut Harry”, and, yeah, who doesn’t love the old Bob Ross videos? 😉 Glad you enjoy the channel! We appreciate you watching.
@@TrentonHeath 👍
Also I like watching haircuts harry. Nothing beats a old fashioned straight razor shave. Just satisfying to watch stuff like that. Arts/craft stuff and cooking type channels are my favorite
Excellent! Thank you for the restoration. It certainly is therapeutic watching your videos. Much appreciated!
Your channel is really therapeutic! Especially during the pandemic, your videos helped a lot!! Thank you!!
Great job as always! Yes, watching the repairs and the sounds are therapeutic. Keep up the great work!
Excellent video. Simple, right to the point, and excellent craftsmanship. Thank you!
Try a scouring pad and some Comet on that sink.
Always leave it better than you found it
As the French say, “Rien ne reussit comme le succes.” Nothing succeeds like success. Wishing you continued success. Marvelous videos!
I don't comment often, but I just have to say that I do enjoy your videos. And, yes, they are therapeutic.
It's interesting that you mentioned people saying your vids. are therapeutic for them. I've felt this way about them since I started watching them a few years ago, I just wasn't using the word therapeutic. Carry on.
2:49 did those boots really have a RFID chip embedded in the sole?
Could be. First time we’ve ever seen one on a pair of Red Wings.
I bought a pair of used 1907’s on eBay and resoled them myself (after watching all of T&H’s videos of course), and they had RFID just like this.
I love all the cool tools you use for repairing ..... so interesting!
Moc toes are my favorite and watching resoles of them are my favorite to!
It would be cool to see a video explaining all the tools the job they do and their history.
Seriously guys… I love your videos! Especially the ones with work boots.
I bought a pair of Red Wing 1907’s because of your channel.
When they need a resole, they’ll be coming your way!
Thanks so much! We’re happy to help.
I go further than simply wiping away saddle soap. After wiping it away, there is always a little left behind. I use a different brush and give it a scrub with water, followed by another wiped down with a different dry cloth.
I let it dry at room temperature for at least 48 hours.
For time purposes, we don’t show everything. We also ran them under water to wash away the soap, wiped them down, let them sit for a while to dry and then brushed them with a horsehair brush.
Had to run this morning, so catching up this evening. Nice job on the hoof-covers.
Who knew T & H's dirty little secret was the shared sink? Can you put vibrams on my flip-flops?
😁😁 The Vibram wedge soles?
No, them big honkin' logger boot soles..... the wedgie soles look like the bottom part of flip flops, just as they are : -) ("wedges sound like something RuPaul would say..." not that there is anything wrong with that.. )
Great work!
it really is another form of asmr
As a clinical mental health counselor, I totally agree about your videos being therapeutic. #ASMR
Best from Midland, Texas.
I would love to see more of the uppers being polished. But great videos. And yes, it's very therapeutic. 😊
Hiya Fellas. Good to see your videos again. I know I've mentioned this a dozen times but my favorite part is when you guys add humor into them. The sounds are definitely relaxing but the humor is my favorite. Thanks again! Paul in Forest Virginia
Thanks for the input. It was just me in this one. Heath’s the comedian of the two. 😁
@@TrentonHeath
Really? I thought it was you because in many past videos, you were the one inching Heath on. 😀
Thank You, answered my question from last video about my Thorogood moc toe, wedge soul, steel toe boots. Gives me hope.
We all love a good before and after job well done guys 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yep I have a very stressful job this helps me! Thanks.
Small businesses and small business owners will always be the backbone of America. Supporting our local businesses - AND WITH CASH! - is the best thing we can do.
your videos are awesome,
They are therapeutic,
My favorite thing to do when I feel stressed is to shine all my shoes.
Glad you like them!
I always look forward to every one of your videos. Absolutely love them.
Nice job. Ready for more years of wear. Thanks.
Yse dawn dish soap or murphies oil soap first then saddle soap try thus you won't be disappointed
wow they look great
Thank you!
That resole looks great guys!!
I was glued to my seat watching, which was a real pain as it took an age to unglue myself🤣🤣🤣 great vlog guys. Juhaptergee
Thank you 😁
this is just satysfying. Great craftsmaship
It is a relaxing video channel. Especially when you use the hot cork
Glad you enjoy it!
Great job! Since you talked about this being a basic "budget" repair, how much did this cost versus one will all the bells and whistles?
Your videos are definitely therapeutic, like watching artist paint art. You guys actually inspired me to dip my toes in my own project. Question! What leather weight do you guys use for the mid soles. Keep up the great work and keep those videos coming.
Master artistry on full display here.❤
Beautiful job guys!!! I feel more relaxed indeed : )
Yes it is calming but then I have PTSD so I luv TH-cam and can find anything oh and the shoes turned out great
Thanks! Yeah, a lot of great and calming videos on TH-cam. Glad they help.
Wow! Fabulous job! Boots look great! ❤
Gorgeous. Well done, sir.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks
Awesome…thanks for watching!
It started with wristwatchrevival, now I'm watching shoes being saved too. Craftsmanship isn't dead.
Ich wäre froh, wenn ich hier in Deutschland auch so einen guten Schuhmacher hätte!
Looks good.
People hurt about the sink never seen a contractors slop sink before. Lol
You’d be surprised at the tiny things some people lose their minds over on all of our videos. Sinks, cork, etc, etc. 😂😂
@@TrentonHeath they have soft hands 🤣
😂
What u did was not a job done....it was a job well done. Salute
great video , thanks
Thanks! We appreciate you watching.
Like the video. I find it relaxing. Love seeing how it all comes together. Watching from UK🇬🇧😅
Thanks so much!
A beautiful job. If they were my boots I would be very pleased with the job you did.
Thank you!
I took a day drive along the Mississippi River along the border of Minnesota and came to the town of Red Wing. I didn't realize this is where the Red Wing shoe company is headquartered and where Red Wing boots are made. I wonder if Red Wing has the ability to repair their own shoes. I toured the main Red Wing store seeing their two story high leather boot but also saw one of their 100-year old triple stitch sewing machines. They have a small museum that shows the steps in making a boot. Fun little siting on my day trip.
*Yes Red Wing repairs Red Wing shoes 😊!*
Merimec is the company that makes that sole.Bakers out of Oregon ( large dealer of wesco and whites, owners of Drew’s boots) has their version of it made by Merimec. Nicks uses them , Danner and Thorogood have used them for years
You got it! They also currently manufacture the soles on our flip flops.
@@TrentonHeath Interesting to me that their isn’t a generic version of it, I mean it made since that they would make the oem sole for Thorogood and Danner , but now that I know you guys and bakers have them as a resole option , I found that interesting
@@TrentonHeathThat’s awesome. I’m friends with the owners son. Great family!
You did a great job
i had a pair of red wing pull on boots 5 years old the soles were shot. $100 resole and had em for another 4 years and this year they were completely toast
This is so satisfying
Excellent work Sir, Ged, UK.
Thank you! We appreciate you watching,
Awesome
Another great video. I have a few questions, just for my own curiosity. 1. Is there any benefit to shoe makers glue over barge cement? 2. how long do the shoes stay in the press for. and finally, 3. why do cobbler anvils move so much, wouldn't it be easier (quieter) if the were mostly stationary with some rotation?
Looks great
Great looking boots..now.
Doesn’t look like simple cheap resole. That was expensive resole. All that shampoo and spa cosmetics. 🥳🤩😍
😁😁
Great work. Could you have just replaced the outsoles and left the cork, midsole, and stitching intact? Or do rubber outsoles and rubber midsoles not separate cleanly from each other? Thank you.
*I've watched many cobbler videos on various channels. The outcome is similar to what I saw here. Often when trying to remove the wedge soles from the midsoles, the wedge takes a little bit of the midsole with it. At **2:12** when they're lightly sanding down the welt, you do see a bit of the midsole at the heel area. They sand it off so they can stitch a midsole on later. The difficulty is like trying to remove two stickers from one another, without tearing each other apart. So yea, they don't pull apart too cleanly. I often see cobblers remove the wedge and midsole together, to make it easier. I've seen videos where cobblers try to remove the wedge, and they're literally slicing their way through to remove it. It leaves a bumpy texture behind on the midsole whenever they do that. The rubber wedge and rubber midsole are stuck together very tightly. So it's better to remove them both as one piece.*
*With that bumpy texture from slicing, I've also seen cobblers sand the area to make it smooth and flat. But that would make the midsole uneven with the thickness/thinness in different areas. It'll just wear down quicker. So it's better to replace the midsole with a new one. That way you'll have an even thickness across your boots, and won't wear down as quickly as a sanded down one.*
*For the cork, it can be left alone if the condition of the cork looks ok to the cobbler. If it doesn't, they can ask the customer if they want the cork replaced. Same with the welt. However, in this video, they left the welt alone since the condition of it looked fine. Hope any of this helps!*
This is a very thorough explanation. Thank you.
