      I agree entirely! I’m tired of buying tennis shoes and they wear out in a few months vs my Ariats that are still going strong after 7 years of use... I know both are factory made, but good quality is unbeatable in my book, it should be function over form and if they don’t function for long then what good were they?

    Darn! I wanted to send you my 20-year old Redwing 2412 steel toes, but decided to give the local shop a try. Boy was that a mistake! I had worn holes in the toes from working on my knees as a carpenter and asked the shop to put leather caps over the damage, which they agreed to. To my surprise, they slathered epoxy over the entire front of the boots, tried to sand them smooth and spray painted them. Holy crap, I wish I had sent them to you and could add a photo here. Keep up the nice work. Luckily, I didn’t give them my steel toed Rangers and will be sending them to you for toe caps and resole.

      They are expensive. Also if you pay more when you get them made to your foot size they're even better than off the shelf. I've had bull hide but I heard elephant and giraffe are the toughest. You can also get a vibrum sole which will last longer than the rubber. But for 450 to 650 bucks they are pricey but comfortable to ride in and drive

      They said in their previous videos. But like this boot fix will probably be like $100-150? I think it’s all about how much work it is and the cost of material. A simple resole is like 80 bucks. But 80 for a pair of $500 shoes you got for almost free is an amazing deal, and you get to start fresh

      This one would have been quite expensive, but we gave a bit of a deal to the owner so that we could show y’all this extreme case. Usually shoes found at thrift stores just need new heel pads or a simple resole. A basic resole is usually around $90-$130, depending upon who does them.

      I'm thinking that someone in the shop made a rig for these and literally just added some weight to hold them down and literally dragged em behind a truck on a stiff mechanical rig. The toe wear outs are just way too symmetrical this is definitely not a customer playing a prank nor anyone sent these in, the boots would be bloody from the sheer heat of what happened to them if a real person was wearing em

      I’d say it’s just a lot of wear in a lot of cow shat because I’ve worn some leather soles completely thru like that as a little boy running around in the back of my family’s stockyard, (aka sale barn, aka Livestock Auction) and slip slidding around on the chert, gravel, and concrete that made up the parking lot. My parents would beg me to start wearing my newer model boots but instead id throw tape on my Justin Ropers (this would have been the early 90’s and Ropers were it. For kids even red ropers were a thing) just enough to keep the cow mess out until even duct tape wouldn't do or my dear mother tossed them in the dumpster while I was gone to school. I’ve worn out a lot of nice leather not keeping the manure off and just letting it more or less wear off over the years but if you grow up literally in the back of a barn you just have it on your boots so often that later in life and even now when I try much harder to keep it actually more than just hosed off it gets in the smallest hard to reach places. Lazy is also a word that comes to mind. Anyway I digress.
      However those heels are the most abnormally worn of all time leading me to think that's not real wear at all. If not so crazy id suggest a guy in the saddle all day who is extremely bow-legged but he would be more like a case of someone with the rickets or something. No ole bow legged cowboy has ever worn a pair of heels like that. I realize it’s all probably a set up but I just thought of those things before I saw the insane amounts of wear and all.

    Would it have been more cost effective to just throw these boots away and buy a new pair rather than repair them? I mean at what point do you decide if it’s worth the cost? I can see the merit in the challenge of the repair, I just wonder at what point do you pitch instead of patch.
