I am a shoe repairer myself. Third generation in fact. I appreciate the level of craftsmanship that you put in every resole. Before watching your videos I never saw a slip-sole bonded and McKay stitched together before adhering and stitching. I assume this eliminates any movement between the slip-sole and sole thus there is little chance of separation with extended wear and exposure to the elements. Between the bonding, stitching, copper rivets, and strategically placed nails the two literally become one piece much more impervious to expansion and contraction of the two dissimilar pieces of the sole as well as less likely to allow exposure to water to lessen the bond between these. This brings me to your sole as well as brand of "Role Club". I assume you have your soles custom manufactured as I've never seen this sole and brand available from any of the remaining shoe finding jobbers? I have learned by watching you some different ways to do a resole like bonding the slip-sole to the outsole prior to bonding and stitching to the footwear. You do great work.
Never thought the old school cool doc martens would look like crap compared to this resole when he was done. Amazing job! Masterful!!!
they don't look like "crap"
They stopped being Doc Martens the moment he started removed the gum sole.
The only correct way to resole Doc Martens is to send the boots back to the manufacturer and get them to put a new sole on it for you.
Yes! These look great... one could send them back to DM to be resoled, but here you have created something unique that looks excellent. Bravo
@@memyselfandi6422clearly it’s not or else this video wouldn’t exist.
You’re just a blind fanboy. It’s a known fact the soles wear down incredibly fast compared to the older quality and the material they use now is known to be less grippy. If you fanboys are gonna get so passionate about a shoe than you should grow up and start bitching at the company that decided to cut corners. The day the soles wear down on mine I’m sending them to a get a proper sole.
And people like you can drown in your own tears while you cry about it.
Artisan...
Love the “naturality”, the openness, honesty, no trickery with the camera, technique... just what you do everyday. That’s what made me subscribe- the prof that you like this and respect your job/shoes/people you interact with is in your eyes, in the way you carry yourself in front of the camera, us.
By the way- great selection of music, not trying to convey something not going on on the screen, just very good match! So many channels take away from the video/message with “not matching” music, your channel- a joy to watch EVERY TIME!
With the number of doc resoles you do, seems like you should get some yellow thread for the welt 😉
They look fantastic! Much more of a "proper" boot now
I love that shoe makers like this exist. It’s an art form of craftsmanship that shouldn’t disappear.
A young man in an old time shoe shop doing old time quality work.
The Doc Martens are now better than they were when new.
Outstanding work. Enjoyed watching very much. Wish your shop was close by!
What a transformation! Actually made the Doc Martin stylish instead of the usual Olive Oil gum boot look ...nice one Brian! 👌
dusty thank you very much
My man came into the shot with a swagger. Hell yeah boss
It’s awesome to see people taking pride in their craft, awe inspiring. Keep up the good work man.
You keep getting better. Keep doing what you are doing!!!!! My grandpa was a cobbler. Your videos inspire me. Thank you and never stop.
Always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman working. You now have me wondering about if I should get my own Doc Martens resoled.
Great work Brian.
I love watching a true artisan at work. When I was a kid, it was a lot more common for folks to get their shoes resoled...and now not so much. It's a real pleasure watching the younger generations picking up skilled trades and crafts and bringing them back to life. Your work is beautiful and well executed. This brings me joy.
you doing a few pair made me decide I was able to try and do a pair myself. I did a pair of Doc shoes I had that were in very good shape except the soles were worn. Hand made welt, hand stitched with a leather midsole, and natural crepe with vibram heels.
You improved the brand name with that resole work.
That is a sick ass resole Brian! The contrast color along the sole looks totally sick. Fantastic work!!!
I may have to hire this man for my Docs down the road. As you said, the colour is tight!
Brian you transformed those doc's from clunky looking to classy with that resole job for sure, keep posting new videos
My dad had his own shoe repair shop when I was a kid. I spent a lot of summers in that shop; you are an artist. That is amazing work!
Brian, you are awesome and I'm so thankful you put what you do out for us to enjoy. Keep on being awesome. Much love from Virginia
Look at that. You managed to make a pair of Doc Martens look good. Great video, thanks!
Great job Brian! It’s so great to see that there are those that keep to old school quality and handcrafted skill. Thanks for your sharing. 👍🏼👞❤️
This question tormented me for a very long time. Thanks for dispelling this mystery.
Your RC sole made it look better and I think it will last longer and perform much better. Congratulations. Keep up the great work.
I guess the answer is yes, they can be resoled!
I still have a pair from when they were still made in England and when they eventually need a resole, I'll definitely keep this in mind!
Great results, Brian! I also, use and love the pictures I've captured with my Fuji gear.
You have probably heard this a million times, but let me add my vote. YOU ARE AN ARTIST!
AGS 1000 thank you 🙏
Love your ch, your partial reason I collect boots. I have literally over 100 different pairs of boots of diff brands & styles, I'm hooked. 5 yrs ago I had a bag leg injury, scaring my lower leg badly, after I hated showing it so I started wearing boots , to also help w few issues from the accident as well. I found your ch & realized there's a lot of people out there that have a love for boots as well, thank you for sharing all you do, you don't just mend boots but souls as well. God bless & great work!!!!
Hey Brian, hope you are doing well, I'm a big fan of your work, this resole was a piece of art and craftsmanship, truly inspiring. My favorite boots are mostly Redwing's, but you have made such a tasteful work in this Doc Martens that I ended up loving them too. Keep up your amazing work!
Your craftsmanship is 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Can’t wait till I can get my hands on some of your work
I like the classic Dr Martens' look but man, those boots look really nice
Been waiting for this I actually was looking to see it he did it before..
Wow they came out perfect I wish I could send mine to him
I've never like the look of those boots... but, with a nice foundation/sole on them, they begin to look appealing. Nice work young man.
the boots are just terrible quality, they almost never warrant a resole
@@amanasd26
Brian resoled my Doc's. Pebble grain tan uppers w/ white soles. So far all positive comments and a few "Where did you get those. I want a pair."
BRIAN MADE MY LACE TO TOE DOCS LOOK FANTASTIC.
Thx again, Brian
Agreed. Doc Martins have never been appealing to me, but after a good resole, they look gorgeous.
RatdogDRB Totally. With these soles, these boots look pretty awesome.
They were originally intended for German war wounded with foot injuries. They were never meant to be stylish just functional.
What a transformation! All of a sudden the Doc Martens look great!
Amazing result! Great music too. Thank you!
WOW. For worn out, tired, resoled Doc Martens, those look incredible! Excellent craftsmanship!
Outstanding work, and very nice to see a younger generation taking up a traditional craft. It's important we don't lose these skills through 'progress' and recognise the value they add. These boots are much better than when they were made, and can be resoled much more easily now..
A true Artist, Much respect from Germany.
I love the classic look of the Docs but i would buy yours immediately
Wow! Such great craftsmanship. I love it! Will definitely look you up next time I need my boots restored.
Much love Brian! Cheers from Colombia, big fan of your Work!
I been buying Docs Martin boots for past 15 years and mostly had a models but over the years the sole has wore out due to daily used and pain me getting Rid of sum if only you could fixed them the ones I don’t want thrown out. Great work you gave them a new life.
You have a true skill brothers,makes me proud to be a cobbler.
Awesome work! One of my very favorite channels.
Love it man! Keep up the great work!
I really dig the background music it tells a story as much as the camera lens and your work. Love this channel!
#muchlove
Wow! These boots are unrecognizable!! This transformation is so perfect. Well done! The skill is amazing
You're an artist -- once I'm ready to resole my docs I'm visiting your shop. Cheers!
I was never a big fan of Doc Martens but got to say they look amazing with this resole .... Great work !!!!
Watching this is so relaxing and chill....heavenly in these stressful times.
Anna Newby thank you for tuning in 🙏
Ooft!
The airflow sole has gone right out the window!!
Well done. 🥃🏴
WOW, as much as I love my DM's I would love to transform them with a new sole like that...GREAT WORK YOUNG MAN...
So awesome again!
Was wondering why the resole, but the end result speaks for itself. Stunning.
Hey Brian, that's beautiful!
In my dreams, that is what I would like done to an old pair.
Care to make a 'Timberland' version of that?
Cheers!
Beautiful.
Fantastic. I Live watching your clips. Much Love from Kent in England my Brother 🤲🏽
These are such amazing videos, never thought watching someone re sole and fix shoes and boots would be so enjoyable. Keep posting !!! I was in your neck of the woods i would bring my shoes in to be fixed.
Sir, you are a true craftsman. That's nothing short than a work of art.
Hello from India. Been a subscriber for almost a year now. Hoping for a continuous chain of great contents. The channel and the work you do is beyond extraordinary
Can't believe the transformation you are truly a skilled craftsman your parents should be proud of your achievements stay safe and God bless you
At first I was a little worried. But the I saw the amount of time and the level of quality that you put into putting new soles on Doc Martens. I love my Docs and it’s nice to see Docs getting some special treatment. What a beautiful job
Brian you are a Master Crafter. Simply AMAZING! I wonder how that boot would have looked with some Yellow Stitching instead of the white stitching just to give that boot it’s Legendary Iconic look with the Brian Midas touch. Just saying. Like always my brother Breath taking videos.❤️
This dude most have money, this resole probably was double the cost of this Dr. Martens. Excellent work man, like always.
Amazing! Your skill is amazing! You made it look like a work of art! 👏👏👏
You sure made a chunky pair of Docs look refined and finely finished. Nice job!
Those things still had a lot of tread on them. I’m guessing the owner wanted a new look.
I guess he wanted Brian's touch. For the money, I would get better boots to start with, but we don't know the owner's circumstances.
Let's hope it was for the new look cause they are not worn and they are not even MIE. I wish I have this cash to spend...
@Alexandros K Still, it's his call and we should allow for that. "Bullshit" is far too censorious.
@Alexandros K Yeah but if you've ever worn Doc's for work you'll know that the 'Airwear' soles, while very comfortable, will usually wear out long before the rest of the boots, much like the soft rubber soles on Redwings. The point of this conversion is that once done the rubber sole and heel can be easily replaced by almost any repair shop. Those boots, as they are now, could potentially last a lifetime if taken care of.
@@jamesjacocks6221 Doc's are a brand that people wear despite lower quality. It's more about style than function.
Magnificent artistry and craftsmanship. Just stumbled on your video - for a young man you have a wonderful old soul ... (no pun intended but it’s delightful 😁)
Amazing work Brian. Truly an artist!
Best looking Dr. Martens I’ve ever seen!
That's exactly what I need for my Greasy Brown Docs👍🏼
Great job Brian💯✨
Thats some real good work man!!😎 awesome, right on👍🏼👍🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
That was awesome brother thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!
Brian beautiful work as always bro much love !
Wow Brian! They look so bold and comfortable. Well done.
Hello to France ! Cela change toute la ligne de la chaussure. Incroyable. Bravo Brian! God bless to!!
Greetings congratulations on your technique, your art and your generosity in sharing with us all your talent, thankful.
Man Brian you do beautiful work brother.
My hope is that your channel will inspire others in this over-tech’d world to take up working with their hands and experience the joy and satisfaction of being a craftsman.
always a joy to watch the entire video. superb craftsmanship :-)
Bro... that looks AMAZING! I have a pair of Bonny Chukka in black leather. Once I wear down the soles I HAVE to send them to you for this resole!!!
I love the way these turned out 😍👌🔥
Another pair of DM's RoleClub-ified! If DM knew how much of an improvement your resole does for their boots structurally and astetically, they should give you stock options! 💚💛❤🤙
Wow thos turned out awsome keep up the good work
Absolutely gorgeous results!
They look much better now! Great job good sir.
great work and a fantastic result - nicely done
Best looking pair of doc martens I've ever seen in my life, hands down
So much better after!! Excellent work!
I will admit I wasn't sure where you were going with these. The boots looked relatively new with little wear, but man did you knock it out of the park. I have never liked the looks of Docs because of the blown rubber sole. They always looked like a shoe a person would wear in their teen years, and grow out of when they hit adulthood.
The end product after you got done with them, are boots I find attractive. I would totally rock those. Good job!
haha so true. It is exactly what I always wanted when I was a teen but my family could never afford a pair. I did eventially get a pair in my twenties and I always have a soft spot for them :)
They are so dam beautiful. You are a MASTER at what you do. I love watching this channel.
Love your channel, also love your music selection.
I love watching you resole Docs. I still have my first pair from 1989, and it's good to see that someone is finally willing to save them with a resole when the time comes. I spent decades being told that I would have to throw them away once the soles wore out.
If your willing to send them to England, there are actually 2 cobblers authorized by dr martens to resole dr martens using real dr marten soles and equipment. One is called TOMS and the other is the key cobbler, both have fb pages. It is t even that expensive.
Odd that anyone told you that. They're Goodyear welted boots shouldn't be a problem to re sole. Solovair even sells replacement soles for their boots. I can't believe you have any tread left on those boots from 1989! 🤯
@@jeffreypetrellii7862 Good to know! Thanks!
@@mrbenjaminhubert Yeah, I don't know, but that's what cobblers in Boston were saying for a long time. I have lots of friends who complained about not being able to get their Docs resoled. There's even a cobbler in Beverly MA who started posting, "YES! I CAN resole Docs!" about 15 years ago, although he would just cut the bottom and glue on a Vibram sole.
@@adamfitch965 Oh Christ! That's terrible!
Buy NSP Solovair boots instead....they used to make Doc Martens boots when Doc Martens were “real” Doc Martens and got the rep they still trade off today.... NSP still make the boots in the same factory in the UK but for their own brand Solovair... better everything over today’s Doc Martens.
Silvestro Crino *NPS ;)
And they cost less
Absolutely agree. Still a fairly "low end" cheaper work boot with smooth leather not the good stuff but Solovair is the original. They are what they are and are relatively inexpensive.
Absolutely true. I have a pair of solovairs in gaucho leather and they are amazing. Also, they are truly Goodyear Welted.
Really good to know guys. Thank you for the info.
Shine on!
Now that's a Doc Martin I'd wear with pride!
Amazing job! The boots look incredible!!
Those turned out amazing. Awesome job Brian!
Ruben Zarate thank you 🙏
I'm impressed! I only wear doc martin industrial boots in brown, the soles wear out to quick. I can make the uppers last for years. this post was very informative. thanks, and great job
Dude just made a silk purse from a sow’s ear. Fantastic.
Another phenomenal job on the doc Martinezs great job brian
You are the best . Another good video. 👍🏼
You are a very talented man I'm impressed.I am a Doc Marten wearer and would love these unique.
Love the half sole on boots! Nice video.
Another good video. I hope you keep this music. It's soothing, and I've come to anticipate hearing it while watching you work. Please keep it as your signature.
Daaayaaaam, you made those look goooood! 😂
Beautiful job. I would have liked to see the finished resole with iconic yellow stitching (instead of white) but it still looks better than the old soles.
