Recently had the good fortune to travel to LA and order a pair of Engineer boots from Brian. His workshop has an aura about it. You sense all the great work that has been done there. He is a gentle soul with creative genius who crafts to perfection. We're lucky to have him. I hope others are inspired by him and follow in his footsteps.
Loved your answer to the person looking to be a cobbler - good man. I'm older than dirt and build all sorts of stuff. People ask me 'how did you do that'? So I tell them. I know it so why not pass on your stored up knowledge. People use it as a power thing, I'm glad to see you don't Brian. Spread the word, teach people and learn from us oldies 😊
Keep up your great work Brian
Shine on
Brian. Me complace ver tu trabajo. Te escribo desde Colombia. Ojalá en mi país existieran profesionales, artesanos y maestros en tu oficio con tu talento.
Te escribo en español para que sepas que tu canal no tiene fronteras y que los hispanos también te admiramos y seguimos. Un saludo fraterno desde Sur América.
I missed the Q&A session & love the work you do. You are wise beyond your years. You have an old soul that shows in your heart. Blessings and love to you and your family.
Thank you for being chingon Brian. Love your videos. Looking forward to more resole videos with different types of shoes.
I just subscribed last week and have been practically binging your videos ever since - this is awesome! It makes me so happy to see trades like this being picked up by our younger generation. God Bless you and your business, thanks for sharing your experience and craftsmanship!
Thank you Brian for your Q&A session I really enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to future Q&A's! I'm 72 year old Marine veteran and my fondest memories growing up was sitting and watching my Grandfather who a Cobbler work on repairing shoes of all kinds! Thanks for triggering my memory recollection of my Abuela!

@@frandanco6289 You are right Fran in my haste I typed an a instead of an o, thank you for your observation!
Really enjoy your videos Brian! Just a few months ago I discovered a local cobbler and had a pair of relatively inexpensive boots resoled, they did really nice work. After that experience I’m supporting them by purchasing most of my shoe care products there, really hoping your craft doesn’t die. Now I’m willing to spend more on quality boots and shoe to have them repaired! Keep up the great work!
Awesome Q & A! You have such great a perspective about so many things, totally refreshing and chill.
Thank you so much for answering my question! I do fear the cobbling trade is dying but I'd love to be able to continue such a beautiful craft. I've loved footwear for as long as I can remember, definitely will start to look around for master cobbler to learn from and then hopefully come in to my own way of doing things. Thanks again Brian! Keep up the crazy amazing work you do!
Just found your channel, big fan of your content.
Thanks for making the videos!!
Brian, I love your content bud! You are really humble and produce good quality re craft projects! I want to see the update on the truck!

Ayeee shout out to Pho Broadway! That was my friend's parent's shop. They retired and closed down after so many years. There's a ton of great Vietnamese food out in the 626 too, not too far from DTLA. But the most traditional and variety is out there in Westminister/Garden Grove.
Hey Brian,
It was really nice to hear a little bit about you and your family history. Hope you find the time to travel one day and visit your family from both sides.
Brian ! Thanks for your time to make this Q&A ! It is very true about us Old Timers ! We have something that young people do not have - yet -.. It is Wisdom ! It only comes with age.. :) I hope I can find out where you are and hopefully be able to send you my old pair of Redwings and see if you can resole them.. Thank you and your family for all that you do for us !! God Bless !

Wow thank you Brian for picking my question!!! ☺️☺️☺️ Tracey
Give thanks for considering my question... now, me and the Family are gonna road trip and peep that Pho spot you suggested! And mad respect for the reason you wear the red bracelet... vibez told me you were a very deep person. Bless up king!💚💛❤🤙
Finally watched this. Thank you!!
I too, wish to see the lineup of all the boots that you make. I'm a geezer and don't do social things like instagram or facebook, but I do like well made footwear!
Great video, Brian!
I look forward to your variety. Sneakers booted are fun to watch
Thanks for this very entertaining video! 😀
I think that was an excellent idea it would be nice to see how you resolve some other style of shoes but I do love your boot vids
Hey Brian thanks for another great video hope to meet you one day 🙏
I think of Brian the Bootmaker, because of Underdogs, and Engineer boots and
Lace to toe and such, but resole other shoes as well as other types of repairs
would be great. Keep up the Good Work . Thank You.
I seen your Atlas machine awhile back and order one for my shop. Awesome prices for their quality
Fantastic Q&A mr brian. On line cobbler courses💡
Hi Brian, I really enjoy your videos and your energy is great, please keep it up! I have a question that maybe other viewers/readers may have , too or may be able to help with. I suppose it’s more of a cry for help than a question. Due to past foot injuries I wear zero-drop or barefoot style boots daily. I’m looking to upgrade to a more durable boot for everyday use/outdoor work/winter, etc. (currently wearing the waterproof Boulder boot by Lems Shoes) and have been eying Carolina’s 8-in Amp USA moc toe boot; the idea I have in my head is that if I find a boot with a durable leather upper I can have them re-soled to meet the heel-toe rise level I need. Have you ever done anything like this for a client?
Your doing awesome stay strong and tell ur great boss hi
will you ever do online courses, or have a patreon where you teach more detailed instructions?
Awesome 😷👍🧵🥾
A video on each of your boots in your line would be much appreciated.
Were you at
Don't spread your self to thin
Don't worry- Be happy now
Nice work
Thanks for the info
Hi Brian, how's this truck project? Congratulations video.
Awesome to hear you’re eating Viet food in Westminster! Little Saigon is the gold standard in U.S. in my opinion. You should check out phổ 79 or phổ 101 in oc if you ever need a new spot
hi Brian,
I would like to repair some of my own boots and shoes and sneakers when the midsole starts to separate; is there a shoe cement brand that you would recommend ? what cement do you use?
Been thinking about buying a pair of crocs but only if you're able to put tracker souls on them
Love your channel. It's so refreshing to see the old days of real craftsmanship in todays crazy world. Thank you.
Hey Brian I have a question I've been wondering for a wile. If I bought a pair of Redwing iron rangers in rough out leather could I die them my self or would that ruin the boot?
I had a pair of boots that weren’t really that great, but I wanted to keep them alive so I got them resoled. Sadly, they didn’t do a great job and I can’t really salvage them. I’m unhappy with them but I will wear them until they need another resole and just get rid of them then. The leather just isn’t that great to begin with so getting them fixed now isn’t worth it.
Brian lookup Oregon prison blues, they have shirts, jeans, and bibs that will suit your style well =)
Hey Brian , what are your thoughts on Frye prison boots?
Moe🇺🇸... this is not about boots but about the overalls and hats you wear... what inspire you to wear them and make it your signature looks? (I sooo love it by the way😍) Ow, it was asked in this upload, so now I know... I got my answer... it looks great and cool on you... 👊👊👊
In the UK we prefer a lower heel on out boots anything over a inch and a half is seen as a ladies boot, do you see regional preferences on heel size in the US
We have the same kind of dumb thinking here in the states. If you want a slim or pointed toe on your boot and an inch and a half heel or 2 inch heel they act like you’re wearing stilettos.
How much do you charge to make a pair of boots ? I'm very interested in buying a couple of pairs
Great videos question can you recommend the best insole for work boots I wear them all day need something that’s comfortable
generally leather is good as in insole material. over time it'll mold to your good more than a foam insole because foam tends to fall flat. generally though, the material under your foot matters more than any insole you have
Luis Andarsio -- I have tried many insoles and the best I have found for several years are the Red Wing Shoes Custom Moldable Foot Support System, sold at any Red Wing Shoes Store... They are not found on the Internet sold by the Red Wing People..
These Insoles are very comfortable, mold to your feet, and last a long time..
I even use the oldest ones in my tennis shoes and it really helps them be more comfortable..
God Bless !

Do you have a favorite multiple purpose boot??
Saludos desde Mishawaka, IN.🖐🏼
Video suggestion...boot basics...what the hell is a shank, foot bed, etc....I dont know what all these parts are.
Hello the shank is a piece of metal usually a few inches long to about half/full inch wide flat piece of steel found on the inside of most well made boots, usually placed inside the arch or under the heel of the boots.
food video man that would be great
Cuanto cobra por arreglar un par de botas
Hi Brian, i wonder is it possible to resole a Timberland 6-inch boots?
you can but since they're a glued construction rather than a welt, and since the leather they use isn't really all that great, you run the risk of greatly damaging the boot by resoling it.
@@austinwanner449 i see, thx. My 16 years old Timberlands getting old) So i thought is it worth to resole them or just change the boots.
Do you make your own custom boots?
The Abstract yes he has role clubs models
Hi, I emailed to you, Thanks
Quiero ponerle suela de plastico a mis botas como podria comunicarme contigo
Hi Brian I have a question if you have a $50 pair of boots is it worth getting them resoled
Hi! Not Brian-hope he won't mind. The value of anything is the amount someone is willing to pay. So it's subjective. It's different for everybody. Brian hit on this in the video. If something has sentimental value to someone, they may be willing to pay far more to repair it than it's worth. "One man's junk is another man's treasure." Remember, it's your life, it's your money, you earned it, and that earns you the right to spend it however you want.
