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 😃
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..
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.
I was always told it couldn't be done. I have a pair of Canadian Military Mark II boots issued to me in 1989. I have been wearing them every year except in winter (too cold in Canada) and they are highly polished. I need to find someone who can do this as I am now strictly instructing and the cadets can't figure out how I have kept them this sharp this long. It really is a spit shine. No heat gun or other gimmicks. Soles are getting pretty smooth.
Great video. I am 73 now and I have served in the Airforce. As My pension is not brilliant I have had to repair several pairs of shoes and slippers, with various results. I bought a pair of german army boots some years ago and the sole on one of them is breaking up and the rubber was cracking. I used a soldering iron to weld the cracks and seal the crumbling parts. I don't know how long it will last but I know where to go when I need new soles. I live in bedford so its not far to go. Thank you, Mike.
I’ve had my brown altbergs from 43cdo for eight years and never even imagined I could get them re-soled. They are my most comfortable boots and would love them to get fresh grip! My only concern would be the cobbler I go to won’t do as great a job as you’ve just done! Great work mate. 👍🏼
@@colp9492 Make sure they'll accept them for resoling first, too many surplus dealers sent worn 'Defender' boots for resoling to bump up the value that Alt-berg stopped accepting them, they might be doing them again, but check first.
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 🏴
What a job! Great work as always Dan. I have a pair kenzo Chelsea boots which the sole is just beginning to come away on. May well pay you a visit when it’s more acceptable to travel further than your locality.
@@Dan_the_cobbler the pleasure is all mine, honestly. I’m glued to your videos. It’s not all your chisled good looks 😉. I really find what you’re doing so interesting. Here’s fair warning that you will be meeting me when you least expect it 😂 peace and love x
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 viewed and commented on this video, and all that was made possible by someone behind a computer with skills you will never have. Don’t downplay one skill just to praise another.
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
Great video! I was wandering if you could do a video of the man you did the heel/toe n hob nail n sole walking cadence down the sidewalk, past your shop in those boots? That would be awsome!
I’ve really been getting into watching all the professional shoe cobbler channels because I’m thinking of a career change. Thank you for you awesome educational and not to mention entertaining content! Side bar… dude, I can’t be the only one wondering, but seriously do you have any tips on getting by biceps bigger? I’ve had girls mention mine are too small. Anyways have a nice day, cheers from nt he states!!
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 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?
I’ve no idea why I find these so interesting
irk this a mate was talking about this channel and it then got recommended to me its satisfying
Same hahaha!
Nor me but I love em
same lol
It's an occupation that was at one time, very common, but now is a niche industry.
As some of us America's would say..... you're a BALLER.... great craftsmanship !
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
😃
Man this is way freaking cool. Love trades like this. Absolute art.
Altbergs, top boots. Vibram, awesome soles. This footage was awesome. Keep up the good work.👍👍👍👍
youtube: *would you like to watch a video of shoes being repaired?*
me: *never knew that i wanted to!* 🤣🤣🤣

The boot repair was excellent as usual. My favourite part was that cool Rubik’s Cube pen holder.
No idea why this came up on my feed, but I had 2 pairs of Altberg Sneakers when I was in the army. Best boots I ever had in 10 years. Great video 🤙
Nice work, it's always great to see boots get a second life.
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.
Good job! You've given me hope for worn shoes, I've thrown out so many pairs 🤠
It boggles my mind that there's been 67k views and only 1.6k likes. This is awesome content. I love the channel!
Thank you John!
Always nice to see good craftsmanship.
Hey Dan again.....love watching
Very satisfying to see your work, love to see shoe repair, best regards from Mexico!!!
Bunch kilotons of respect to craftsmen like you!
Excellent video. Short and sweet, to the point.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Popped up on my feed, I love shoes and a handsome man.......I subbed...
Keys AND boots?! Best shop ever
Love this channel, proper quality
Great video mate I did this job for 30 years still do it part time for friends

If I new this I would have had my army leather boots done . Dame!!!
Brilliant job buddy
Brilliant mate😁👏
Amazing , enjoyed immensely.,
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
Nice work Dan & am now wondering about repairing my Salomon boots !
Great job!

nice idea to sand the sole and then use the same sole as a midsole , so the boot will be very resistant .
That's what i call a real job, not a behind a screen and deskjob. But a job with real skills. :))

Best boots ever!!
Started watching 'cos i was thinking of doing my own soles...Yeah...I think I'll take them to them to a cobblers!
Great video! I was wandering if you could do a video of the man you did the heel/toe n hob nail n sole walking cadence down the sidewalk, past your shop in those boots? That would be awsome!
Man, does that seem like a very fulfilling profession. I missed my calling.
👍👌 Good video 😎
Grate job!
Quite relaxing to watch lol, how much is it to get a pair of altberg defenders resoled please?

I think I’m gonna ruin my shoes ASAP😂😂😂
Because he’s hot ?
Vibram soles, THE VERY BEST on the market!
Excelente trabalho você trabalha muito bem gosto de ver seus vídeos sou do Brasil 🇧🇷
Great vid. Always wonder how the soles are put on. Always thought they were stitched, or am I thinking of Dr. Martens.
Good job
Love Them,.
EXCELLENT 👌

Why did she eat the boots?

Gr8 video -sun may thumb+
Keep the gd work.
Where is your shop based?
How much would this cost to be done to the same pair of Alt-Berg please?

Hi Dan, what can you do with boots that the sole totally crumbles away. so no welt or anything left? cheers. Greats vids by the way.
Классная работа! Уважение к тем кто умеет работать руками.
Are you taking precautions for the particles produced during the sanding?
