Yeah.. I saw that btw, the fiberboard insole. They use their new updated materials to do rebuilds.. not good. Take your old RM’s to a regularl cobbler and have them rebuilt to original spec, leather everything.
After wearing 2 pairs of RM boots on a regular basis for 8 years I had new soles and heels put on by RMW. Soles could have lasted longer but just did both at same time. It comes back like new. This method works out for RMW boots to be the cheapest high quality men's leather footwear.
Only thing missing is boot trees. The uppers at the beginning looked not so good. Boot trees would have helped the leather to maintain shape. Boots looked great at the end.
Proper repair job. Overkill on replacing the leather insole as now the owner has to break them in a little again. Also, the praise for rubber sole , they forgot to mention how much cheaper and better for their margins it is to get customers to think like that. Only other thing is the outsole welt stitching is not as fine as before. its more loose which I think doesn't look as good.
Tremendous video Bill.
Very therapeutic and interesting to watch
Thank you mate, it’s a truly beautiful process done by the very best in the business.
Will admit to having some dust in my eyes watching this. Awesome video Bill and congrats to Matt for doing this for his Dad.
It's as authentic as it comes isn't it. Real people, real passion and you can't manufacture that.
Great to see RM Williams offer a repair service like this. It's tough finding a good Cobbler who's adept at working on boots.
What a awesome video. Thank You for uploading it to TH-cam.
Amazing story on these bad boys!! Awesome video 👌🏾
What a story! Very impressive restoration and reunion with a very satisfied owner. Excellent work from start to delivery, mates.
What an amazing video mate! Loved every second and so glad we got to see the reaction! Well done ❤
Very nice Bill, good watch.
Great vid. Wish they didn't mess with the original color ...the ORIGINAL color WAS GREAT!!! I'm getting a pair..beautiful boot
*It's up to the customer for the colors. So if a customer doesn't want a color change, they can mention that for their order 😊*

Awesome video ....very informative.
Bloody legend mate 🎉
You put some effort into these videos and it shows top work mate
This one was definitely a very time consuming shoot/script/edit. Glad people seem to be enjoying it.
very nice
What an amazing story! It’s definitely driven me to get a pair for myself now 👌

I thought they looked great at the beginning 😊
Very cool.
Did they skip putting in a new shank?

How much would that refurb cost?
All of that information is in the video.
