Stridewise having an existential crisis at realizing he's been incorrectly saying boots have "cork midsoles" this whole time on his videos. Great video and keep them coming!
The holes are to prevent “sink” That’s a term used in the molding industry. Sink happens in thick sections of material as the material cools it shrinks and leaves a depression in the finished material. And that can be unsightly.
This is effectively the experience we all wish we could have with our favorite cobblers! Just wish there was a trade school nearby so I could learn this wonderful craft too.
15:20 You can install a big air duct right in front of the bench where you use the glue and hook it up to a big duct fan that blows the air out of the building. You also can get away with a smaller one if you do the work more closely in front of it. Maybe one of these aluminum ones hanging from the ceiling. Those can be bent to the right place. You also need to let the air in somewhere. For this you can just open a window. I guess a fume hood like in a chem lab would be overkill.
I actually remember when we had several cobblers in our side of town that re-soled our shoes as a kid. It was a 10-minute process that had normally double your shoe life, at least till you were ready for the next size up.
I think the general consensus is that Nick was very much the "kid being shown how to do grown-up things by his dad" in this video and it was heartwarming
Nick starts out calling him “frustratingly handsome”. Sounds like Heath might not have liked some of the off camera attention he was getting. Us southern boys ain’t used to some of that big city stuff. 🤣🤣🤣
It's nice to you get out to Outback once and a while....It's good to other parts of the country other then Brooklyn....I really enjoy both channels....
Think of all the sweet, comfortable miles you will get from a good pair of boots, already well worn in. Function like new, but comfort of old. Yes, the red thread was definitely a pop of color and not a bad idea at all.
@@Stridewise and did you see the green Vibram lug soles they put on a pair of old boots? I am uber conservative and they looked right at home, not crazy, but like they should be there. Made me change my mind!
Must have been a long day... If you look at the window in the back...The video starts with day light then ends in the dark. I can watch this stuff all day long!!!
You know some moc toes have shanks (eg Grant Stone's, Thursday) bc people find they add stability and arch support, but you're right I've learned that they're not always put in moc toes
Fascinating, got my first paid og Red Wings yesterday for Christmas :D I sized down, they're hard to get on, but once on they fit, although a little narrow but I have a feeling once brokenb in they'll fit perfectly.
Love this. I'm a subscriber of Trenton and Heath and this came up on my suggested. Heath is a proper silver fox, as a lady of a certain age I think he's damned fine. Loved watching this as Heath is explaining things and answering questions as he's going which adds a different dimension to the craft. I think the other chap in the video needs to adopt the 'assisting surgeon' stance, it's really good for getting in and engaged, also makes you look like you know what's happening even if and when you don't ;-) .
Nice video Nick. Your boots are looking way better then before after resole. And specially the red stitching on welt pops. I reckon if you put red laces on these boots that will take them to the next level. Cheers! Love from Australia
I always wondered if cobblers match the original stitch holes in the welt, otherwise the GY welt would have a limited lifespan. Interesting that they can dial in the spacing to match. I would have put lug soles on, but that’s so personal. I think these look way better than new. What a great pair of boots! Cool video, thanks guys!
Watching these guys and Dan at Tring, I have decided to start buying nice leather boots. I have always kept it cheap because I thought cobblers were a dead breed. These guys however, these guys are good!
I'm definitely getting mine resoled when they need it, thank you for this, it really does add a lot more life in the boots! I also love that colour leather... Future purchase... I'm becoming totally obsessed with denim and leather XD
Hey Nick, so since Trenton replaced the cork filling did you have to break in the boots for a second time? What was it like? EDIT: seems like it's already addressed in the video 😛 just need to watch a bit more
The layers of contact cement plus glue mixed with cork on a resole prove that it doesn't matter if your soles are rubber or leather, neither are going to breathe.
You need to heat both parts in the same time, for instance under '' flah oven'', but also with the heater sitting on the bench, to free your both handsp
I have those exact charcoal rough n tuff Moc Toes ... super premium leather that was a nightmare to break-in ... but now they fit like gloves. Will be sending most (if not all) my resoles to Potter and Sons.
Love this video guys! I just a pair moctoes that I eventually plan on switching the stock soles to different crepe. I also want to switch the midsole to leather but would you recommend going with a thick midsole? Possible a quarter inch thick? Would there be any benefits? Appreciate your videos and everything you do!
Entertaining and informative video . . . but who was that unnamed person in the black sweater who appeared towards the end for a few seconds? Janitor?!?

Love it. Nick totally looked like a little kid being shown how to do things by a grown up but I know I would have done exactly the same thing
That's exactly the mood!
Nick is like a child watching his dad fix something for him.
Pretty much!
You can definitely tell Nick doesn’t work with his hands lol…
@@JJ-lu6mg Hey I type
"That's the manliest shit I've ever heard" - indeed
I’m glad he put you to work!
I filmed one with Bedo's Leatherworks too and he made me do a lot more work!
This is cobbler fan fiction.
Man I'm so jealous! I wish I could resole my boots with Heath! I Love and watch all their videos!!! The boots look Awesome!!!
Glad you like it dude!
Why have I been waiting for this colab for so long!!

This is very true, I read your comment out loud to my buddy and we laughed
Heath really seemed like he wasnt having Nicks shit in this video. Everyone has off days. I love both channels.
Haha he's just more taciturn than Trent
I noticed the same. Was he having an off day? Maybe he had some shit to do that he had on his mind.
When Heath talks he is purposeful with his words.
The other guy talks so much, and quickly but isn’t saying anything truly meaningful or additive.
Nick starts out calling him “frustratingly handsome”. Sounds like Heath might not have liked some of the off camera attention he was getting. Us southern boys ain’t used to some of that big city stuff. 🤣🤣🤣
It's nice to you get out to Outback once and a while....It's good to other parts of the country other then Brooklyn....I really enjoy both channels....
Thanks Billy! I go all over :)
It was so satisfying to see those boots finally with a new outsole!
Haha glad someone was invested in their journey :)
Think of all the sweet, comfortable miles you will get from a good pair of boots, already well worn in. Function like new, but comfort of old. Yes, the red thread was definitely a pop of color and not a bad idea at all.
Yeah I really like it! Trenton was telling me I was going to regret it haha but I decided (much later, after stressing needlessly) that i love it
@@Stridewise and did you see the green Vibram lug soles they put on a pair of old boots? I am uber conservative and they looked right at home, not crazy, but like they should be there. Made me change my mind!
@@Stridewise are these the type of quality boots I want for extensive miles of walking? I'm sick of wearing running shoes.
Must have been a long day... If you look at the window in the back...The video starts with day light then ends in the dark. I can watch this stuff all day long!!!
Yes I was amazed how long and in depth the process was!
Because of the wedge sole it doesn’t need a shank. Where the iron Rangers because of the heal need the shank.
You know some moc toes have shanks (eg Grant Stone's, Thursday) bc people find they add stability and arch support, but you're right I've learned that they're not always put in moc toes
@@Stridewise not just boots, flat sole sneakers and Chukkas to.
Great video!! Love the in depth! They do amazing work and really are meticulous about their craft!
Yeah they truly love the work, really inspiring guys
I love cobbler videos. They're so relaxing.
Yes they are! Glad you found this one enjoyable.
This hot cork was the best ever! 😃
So satisfying
I was secretly hoping for a Ghost moment where Heath would guide your hands through the movement. Haha. Loving these collabs!
that's so funny. if only i could get the music rights
I was so longing for this resole video to come out since you said you got your redwing moctoe resoled!! Great color choice for the stitch!
Yeah grey and red go great together!
Fascinating, got my first paid og Red Wings yesterday for Christmas :D I sized down, they're hard to get on, but once on they fit, although a little narrow but I have a feeling once brokenb in they'll fit perfectly.
Awesome 👏😎Heath is an amazing cobbler ‼️

The hot cork segment is definitely the highlight of the video. It shows my one complaint about Red Wing Heritage Moc Toe Boots, no shank.
Did you also recondition the leather, or dye it, or is that an unusual color? Great learning video.
it's charcoal rough and tough, we didn't recondition it actually, i should have and T&H normally do!
Truly an interesting collaboration!
Glad you liked it Jose!
I have never seen Heath look so nervous during filming
I think he was more frustrated or annoyed lol. Maybe a little too much bourbon the night before.
@@jackdunn4463 🤣
Too much handsome in one room
I'm just reflecting Heath's handsomeness
Great collab video! You seemed genuinely excited every step of the way 😄
Just started watching your channel and this video is so satisfying after watching the milage on those mocs . Great content
Fascinating video! Who knew there were so many steps involved in resoling? And just knowing that the end product will be some good looking boots! 🔥
I know right? I foolishly thought it was kind of simple until i took part in this
Awesome collaboration Nick. Big fan of both channels. Keep doing your thing.
I like your choice of threads. Yes, the red really pops and let's face it, few if any will notice it. If you like it, go for it.
That red stitching looks fu€king AMAZING!!! Nice job!!! 🙏🔥🇺🇸
them red stitches are on point
To answer the question "why are there holes in the vibram christy"... its to help relieve any air bubbles when you glue it to the mid sole.
I love watching their videos and the way he uses that knife it’s crazy
Really glad you found this video man!
What an awesome experience Nick! Consider me jealous lol.
Glad you liked it Jimmy!
I have this exact pair of boots and need to get them resoled as well. What’s the cost of this?
Nice video Nick. Your boots are looking way better then before after resole. And specially the red stitching on welt pops. I reckon if you put red laces on these boots that will take them to the next level. Cheers!
Love from Australia
Good idea!
Great content gents, well done.
Thanks Matt! This video was a big operation
I think the red thread pairs way better with that leather than it would with oro lecagy
yeah i really love the red thread
😂 their interaction was pure comedy in a few subtle ways… priceless
lol Ricky Gervais-like
@@Stridewise spot on!
Probably zero other guys with red stitching! 😂 What watch is that you’re wearing?
I always wondered if cobblers match the original stitch holes in the welt, otherwise the GY welt would have a limited lifespan. Interesting that they can dial in the spacing to match.
I would have put lug soles on, but that’s so personal. I think these look way better than new. What a great pair of boots! Cool video, thanks guys!
Glad you got around to watching it! I just visited them again for more videos
Very nice boot video, thank you both.
Great watching you teach
Kork is a filling, probably the best, between insole and intermediate sole,
Best is to use natural cork, and use natural glue, as wheat glue or rubber dissolution
Hi Nick. I've seen these boots after they were resoled in previous videos. How long ago was this filmed before you released it?
Watching these guys and Dan at Tring, I have decided to start buying nice leather boots. I have always kept it cheap because I thought cobblers were a dead breed. These guys however, these guys are good!
@Nick A follow up detailing the new break-in, fit and comfort of your recently resoled RW Moc-toe boots would be appreciated. Thank you!
I'm definitely getting mine resoled when they need it, thank you for this, it really does add a lot more life in the boots! I also love that colour leather... Future purchase... I'm becoming totally obsessed with denim and leather XD
Hey Nick, so since Trenton replaced the cork filling did you have to break in the boots for a second time? What was it like?
EDIT: seems like it's already addressed in the video 😛 just need to watch a bit more
What kind of glue is applied on christy soles
Trent and Heath are guys that I want to hang with lol. It’d be awesome to have this opportunity to work on a pair of shoes, and see the process.
The layers of contact cement plus glue mixed with cork on a resole prove that it doesn't matter if your soles are rubber or leather, neither are going to breathe.
Exactly 🤣. And your uppers won't breather because of the Thermo plastic toe/heel puff and nylon reinforcements
@@jensrb50 Your uppers might breathe because of that big hole in the boot where you put your foot :-) . As long as you don't lace it really tightly
I’d love to see Nick grow up and become a cobbler.
I'm going to Guatemala to learn how to make a pair of boots next month!
@stridewise can you please make a video with Brian the boot maker?
I tried when I was in LA and he didn't have the time! One day :)
Those guys are royalty when it comes to resoleing boots! 😁👌🏽
I love the video, especially the little awkwardness you did.
He's an intimidating master
Just bought a pair and will be sending mine into them when they need new soles.
Wedge soles do not need a shank. A shank is there to keep a defined heel from collapsing.
unless you climb rungs.... or occasionally use a shovel.... or
@@oneformula Why wear a flat wedge sole if you are climbing rungs and on the shovel? A defined heel seems like it would be more useful for both.
@@tonycobb4562 The wedge seems more natural to me for everything. But then I haven't tried boots with heels!
You need to heat both parts in the same time, for instance under '' flah oven'', but also with the heater sitting on the bench, to free your both handsp
Great video! I enjoy both channels.
Good collaboration 👊🏾
Even i wouldn't resole it myself, but this is very satisfying to see how to resole by professional
Great video . Good info. I have my first pair of Thursdays caption boots. Maybe next year I will get a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots
Love this video Nick!
our local cobbler retired and I can't find another one within area without 2hr drive away
I have those exact charcoal rough n tuff Moc Toes ... super premium leather that was a nightmare to break-in ... but now they fit like gloves.
Will be sending most (if not all) my resoles to Potter and Sons.
Great call on the red
how much is it for a full resole on my re wing 875 ,size 6 US
Love this video guys! I just a pair moctoes that I eventually plan on switching the stock soles to different crepe. I also want to switch the midsole to leather but would you recommend going with a thick midsole? Possible a quarter inch thick? Would there be any benefits? Appreciate your videos and everything you do!
I feel like I just had some quality family-friendly Bro Time. Cheers, fellas.
Love this
@stridewise Can you give an update on the re-break-in after this episode? T&H are a great.
Red stitching for Red Wing seems appropriate.
this is like sesame street for adult men. instead of going to a bakery with elmo, we're learning how boots get resoled.
Brought to you by the letters T and H!
I need to get my Red Wings re-soled. Are there other color options than white and black for these types of soles?
I've seen blue, camouflage, and maroon Christie soles.
So Nick , did you go shopping for a pair of western/cowboy boots in Nashville?
If you have to be home sick, what could be better than binge-watching SW videos?
well hot dog Jon it's very touching you'd use your precious recuperation time to watch my gobbledigook!
Heath always seems like a nice guy...and he makes it seem really easy, which I am sure isn't the case.
Dude cobbling and shoemaking is SO HARD
I like the red stitching!
Me too Dave!
So how long did the entire resole take?...hours?
HOURS! I was amazed how in depth it is - tip your cobblers, gentlemen
Why midsole needs to be replaced?
“It’s an upgrade”
How long does it take to make a video? I know for a fact these were resoled months ago.
It was a day's worth of footage and it took a while to find someone who could edit it for me without charging an arm and a leg!
You guys should offer a fan this opportunity... This is cool! @TrentonandHeath
Awesome video man!
I can respect a white collar guy willing to get there hands dirty.
Was he annoyed the whole time every time you asked a question?
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed that
@@OGBunney he’s like stfu Aussie
Great video guys
Thanks so much!
I subscribed because your awesome and your boot reviews are very good. 😊
Amigo Bonito trabajo nice work saludos desde sacramento California
I love this video, and I am already a subscriber of theirs.
Love those guys!
Thanks Drake!
Entertaining and informative video . . . but who was that unnamed person in the black sweater who appeared towards the end for a few seconds? Janitor?!?
That’s Trenton of “Trenton and Heath” they are brothers and share the duties of the business and channel.
It’s an awesome channel btw, would highly recommend!
