Ooh dam mate I wish you were in Scotland as I have a pair of German paratrooper boots which I got resoled and the guy who done them butchered them 3 times I took them back to him he didn't even use the proper all.in one sole he even used separate heel every time I wore them they fell apart I haven't had them done since because of the fear of throwing money down the drain again but you certainly know your profession .all the best and thanks for the knowledge I can arm myself with..
Birch Tek 10 only appears to be available to trade customers on their website. What would you recommend as a replacement for a DIYer? Also, what contact adhesive do you use? Thanks
If the shoe repair man is looking like that i am interesting to see what your blacksmiths look like in your part of the world! Probably like Ronnie Coleman... Great video mate.
Great job on those soles. I like those boots, and the soles. Now I want to track down a pair of those boots. If anyone knows where I can get a pair of them, even used, let me know.
There's a few army surplus stores online selling used pairs, but supply is sparse. If you're in the UK and you can afford it, you can visit their factory in Yorkshire and get a pair custom fitted.
You clearly love your job. I'm absolutely fascinated by your attention to detail. Please keep up the amazing work ! You've certainly had some excellent training 😃
Excellent video sir. As a wearer and lover of Altberg boots I would love to know how much you charged for this service - If you don't mind sharing ?? Cheers
Dear " Tring shoe repair & key shop" I suggest you to use abrasive belts having silicon carbide-SIC grain, grit 36 or even 24 (exist even to grit 16), usually they are black color from most producers. Much better working on rubber than blue zirkonia belts. If you are interested, let me know I'll give you material codes. The trick is that silicon carbide grain is much harder and consequently much sharper than zirkonia grains, so SIC actually cut of rubber off compared to zirkonia, which doesn't remove rubber so efficiently and makes more heat. Try it, and you will see difference immediatelly.
In the movie “Annihilation” the females on the tactical team wore Altberg Lady Desert Elite boots with vibram soles. But Natalie Portman asked the production crew to remove the leather tops and replace them with synthetics because she is a vegan.
I just bought from the carboot a pair of Goretex army boots with Vibram soles. The first time I wore them, the sole crumbled into pieces beneath the Vibram. The local cobblers say they are impossible to mend. Is that true? The uppers are in absolutely excellent condition
I brought some Karrimor boots with Vibram soles about 10 years ago and the Soles haven't worn even 1 cm ....the uppers are fcuked mind you but the soles are like new
My vibram soles have started coming off my merrel moab 8s within a week after wearing them. They have been stored in my clothes cupboard for 3 years. Is storage that bad or are they duds? Do you have a video on how I can fix?
All I wear is Altberg Defender boots.. on my feet all day 7 days a week washing out my dog runs and out training the dogs.. only thing I will say about them is the soles wear out within 12 months on me
Can you replace the midsole along with the outer? I've on my third pair of Haix boots where the mid sole has disintegrated. The uppers are still in good nick, but they're obviously not useable anymore.
I've also got a pair of Alt-bergs which when I need resoling I'll give you an email. Real nice work on your mates boots, like the look of the Vibram Rocker sole. Atb Malcolm 🏴
Hi pal, really enjoy watching your videos. I have a pair of altberg tetheras ready to be resoled is this something you’d be able to do . Thanks and ATB.
One of my altbergs has been cracking along the inside of the toe creas. I've tried all creams and waxing but the cracking is still travelling and is now in the centre of the boot. Any suggestions?
I had a pair of Cat Second shift whos' soles wore out but the uppers were in A1 shape- the problem was the shoes leathers were bulging outward due to supination.... any ideas on how to fix this while replacing the soles like in your video above? or toss the boots - that would waste of good leather.
Hi there, I have a pair of Berghaus Hillmasters with Vibram soles that need exactly what you did in this video, do you accept repairs by post? If so, what am I looking at cost wise for you to repair them?
Coffee? It's so weird to hear a Brit say that. I love me some tea. Earl Grey is the best then the English BF, Chia 3rd up. Has anyone tried Lady Grey? if so was does it smell like? Thanks
@@dloadthis1617 LOL Thank you. I may just do that. Moreover, he is a very talented cobbler. I was just struck by his arms and one good looking man. Thanks for the tip. off for that cold shower. Cheers
Ian Mckeown Great video, its good to watch trades like yours. A question, can leather trainers be resoled? I've got a pair of Stan Smith boots, the uppers are in excellent condition, but the soles are starting to wear through. Any suggestions are welcome.
Hi I have some altberg defenders and the black rubber has worn, my local cobbler said he can replace the black rubber but the brown cushion underneath would stay original, is that the right way to do it? I had in my head everything under the rand would be replaced, many thanks
I've fallen in love with the comfort of Vibram , it's just I'm scared to take my Goodyear welted nice shoes to a cobbler to replace leather soles with Vibram as scared the glue won't hold and the sole will come off. This is exactly what happened to me years ago when some soles glued on by Timson's came off while I was in the middle of a browse in Harrods- very embarrassing ! Can I trust a cobbler to do the job without having to send my shoes back to the factory ?
I see that you are a person looking always for perfection, so please don't drink anymore instant coffee, if you know how these coffees are made , you will never again use them, instead prepare real coffee with real coffee beans and a filter , regards from mexico , the best coffees are from columbia , mexico ( chiapas ) and brazil .
Really great video, those boots looked like mine. I wonder if I'd be able to do that? I don't have all of your equipment, so I was wondering if a heat gun designed for roofing would work to heat the glue? 🖖😎
I tried reheeling my own boots a few years back using just hand-tools. It "can" be done with a lot of patience, but the one piece of equipment that you really can't do it without is a belt-sander of some sort to make a clean flat surface to glue onto. Also if you're only doing one pair, you'll probably spend as much on the tins of primer and adhesive as it would cost to just get them done professionally anyway.
Would it be possible to resole the Alt-Berg Defender Mk II (something between Vibram Mont and XS Trek) with the Outsole of the 5.11 Apex 8" WP (Vibram Megagrip)? The updated Info on 5.11-website on the Vibram-Outsole is unfortunately wrong. It is Not the Vibram Ananasi (there are even two Version of Vibram Ananasi exist. One with Megagrip. The other with XS Trek Base for Vibram Icetrek). The Outsole of the 5.11 Apex 8" WP should be the Vibram® Maltease (Vibram Megagrip). You can See the lines between midsole and Outsole on the Boot in Colour "Dark Coyote" www.511tactical.com/apex-waterproof-8-boot.html
I love my meindl boots however I live 5 muinits walk from the Altburg factory unit in Richmond, coincidentally, Mick Sheehan and his team will repair his own boots and shoes and Meindl boots !

It's an occupation that was at one time, very common, but now is a niche industry.
Altbergs, top boots. Vibram, awesome soles. This footage was awesome. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍

Man this is way freaking cool. Love trades like this. Absolute art.

Are you taking precautions for the particles produced during the sanding?
Extractor fan
As some of us America's would say..... you're a BALLER.... great craftsmanship !

Intresting vid lots of work into those boots so how much did this cost the client?
mates rates innit
How much would this cost to be done to the same pair of Alt-Berg please?
ViBram is an italian company, the name is short for VItale BRAMani. The correct pronunciation is "Vee-Brahm"
So what? I think it's nice thing to know
I think I’m gonna ruin my shoes ASAP😂😂😂
Because he’s hot ?
Popped up on my feed, I love shoes and a handsome man.......I subbed...
You know your job, my friend.
Good job! You've given me hope for worn shoes, I've thrown out so many pairs 🤠
You clearly love your job.
I'm absolutely fascinated by your attention to detail.

Why did she eat the boots?
This dude is handsome asf!😎
he could stop working and find a sponsor anytime :)
I’m glad to have found u..,gr8 video’s!
Well done. I am also a shoemaker from Poland. Regards 💪💪🇵🇱🇵🇱😎😎
Cześć Łukasz, wiesz może jaki jest orientacyjny koszt takiej naprawy?

Great video mate I did this job for 30 years still do it part time for friends
My vibram soles have started coming off my merrel moab 8s within a week after wearing them. They have been stored in my clothes cupboard for 3 years. Is storage that bad or are they duds? Do you have a video on how I can fix?
Popped up on my recommendations stayed for the accent
It sucks your across the pond! It is so hard to find someone here in the US that does shoe repair
Potter and Sons / Trenton and Heath. They have a YT channel too
All I wear is Altberg Defender boots.. on my feet all day 7 days a week washing out my dog runs and out training the dogs.. only thing I will say about them is the soles wear out within 12 months on me
yes the vibram soles are rubbish, too soft for tarmac,
Can you replace the midsole along with the outer? I've on my third pair of Haix boots where the mid sole has disintegrated. The uppers are still in good nick, but they're obviously not useable anymore.
All depends on the construction of the boot really!

A fucking true maker in a robot world. Good on you man! I screen print T shirts myself. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Great vid. Always wonder how the soles are put on. Always thought they were stitched, or am I thinking of Dr. Martens.
I'm I the only one here for his arms?
You need to go take a cold shower,,, LOL! You need to search for Dan's video he made at the gym and competing in weight lifting competition. 🔥
