Red Wing actually made a pair of paratrooper boots in the 60s called Red Wing Skytroopers, very rare now but they were the same style as Corcoran Jump Boots but with a few unique features
There are certain "craftsman" videos that just make you sit back and admire the skill. Then there are ones like THIS, that make you go "Holy f*** I want to LEARN that!" That's YOU, dude 👍
I usually fast forward through rebuild videos to get right to the end product. Your rebuilds are are so interesting and unique it keeps me watching each step of the way.
I really like these boots. Excellent build. If I had to nitpick, I’d have preferred side stitching the new toe caps the way the originals were, instead of just gluing them, but they turned out amazing.
I was in the U.S.M.C Infantry for 12 yrs had many pairs of boots. A few pairs where resoled never seen it done now I have. You have some skills sir well done
Closed blade and above the ankle joint so it doesn’t inhibit range of motion. Should be fine. If he twisted or folded the ankle, the knife won’t effect the injury
🤯, after watching numerous videos, i am amazed at how i didn't know the amazing world of leather boots. i must have been getting the cheapo leather kind and i assumed all were the same, lol. appreciate all the info and videos. time to get a proper leather boot! love the fact that one can resole and rejuvenate footwear.
In the days when I completed a parachute course, those boots wouldn't have been allowed. The top two lace fastenings are open types, so there would have been a small chance of them snagging a rigging line, had the parachutist tumbled. Closed lacing loops only were permitted. Times change things, I suppose. Good video though!
Amazing quality video as usual. Really should be getting more views. I feel like it should be in trenton and heath territory. You guys do a great job with all the content. So satisfying to watch
Fantastic job, only miffling is the extra leather at the toe probably could have been implemented better, that isnt going to hold up to a ton of abuse is it? Prolly just add a stitch line to the sides and it would go a long way
That was one of the better rebuilds I've watched and I'm a huge Bedo's fan. Great job. And I assume when the soles get worn down it's a simple tear-off and reglue? Very smart
Love that extra layer on the toe cap. I need to have that done on my work boots, I keep kicking stuff since I have metal toe caps on my thorogoods, so it's messing up the leather. Good idea
The guy is a sky diver not a Paratrooper. When I was in the US Army as an Airborne Infantryman we only wore the standard issue combat boots or the jungle boots because after we land or crash to land we had to walk many miles for days or weeks during exercises, in combat the same. Today Paratroopers jump with issue boots which has better neoprene soles which last longer on long road marches. Our Cochran Jump Boots from WWII design is not made for modern combat and used only as dress boots for in dress uniforms. Many tier one Special Operations Forces use civilian hiking boots over standard US Military boots in combat.
Отличная работа! Настоящий мастер! У меня есть вопрос. Мне нравится кожаная обувь, ремонт возможен но не уверен хочу ли я этого. Подводную обувь носят зимой или в непогоду. Ноги потеют кожа промокает как не старайся но будет запах протрется прокладка на пятке и носке. Стелька протрется и будет запах. Поверхность кожи от песка и мелких повреждений сотрется и каждый раз придется класть ваксу и обрабатывать чтобы не промокала. По итогу подошву можно поменять это частично восстановит обувь, но новыми они будут толко на вид 2-3 дня.
Long time since I last jumped out of a plane but aren't speed hooks a no no for risk of lines getting caught? My old Italian army jump boots were a pain to do up every morning with just eyelets. Maybe they are ok on paragliders as they start with the lines all stretched out?
Boots with lace hooks are not suitable for paragliding, as they can trap lines during ground-handling and takeoff. If that happens, you can end up dragged over a ledge with a collapsed paraglider. Great that the hooks were removed during the repair/makeover.
So I am in northern Utah could you guys make my doc martins pier boots that I’ve been wearing for the past 15 years back to life and better like those Irish setters?

I couldnt look away. I was mesmerized. I have never seen a pair of boots reincarnated before. So cool. Upgraded, improved, renewed.
Welcome. Now sit down and get set for the deluge.
I’m an artist, and craftsman, and I am amazed at the artistry, and amazing level of craftsmanship here.

The all black look is super clean and the reinforced toe is genius.
The best part was seeing them in action, getting a workout again!

same here 🙌
Truly a labor of love. Amazingly done.
I wish moc toe work boots did this. I’ve literally been looking for a moc like this with the double toe area for months.
Looks like a cobbler can do it. Ask a local cobbler, show him the doubled toe snippet, and see what happens.
I really like these boots. Excellent build. If I had to nitpick, I’d have preferred side stitching the new toe caps the way the originals were, instead of just gluing them, but they turned out amazing.
First pair of wedge sole boots I would actually wear. Good job!
That smile at the end says everything! Plus, I dug the kilties, so I ordered a set for my Thorogoods right now.
That was a terrific, functional build. Kudos to all.
Anyone feels that the alternative rose anvil channels are the most mesmerising ones?
These build videos just keep getting better and better!!
That video made me feel so happy amd relaxed. Dude was so friggin happy with his pimped out kicks.
❤
I would totally buy a kilty with a knife pocket pre sewn in
Liked the all black they look pretty awesome. From someone who isn't familiar with wedge sole boots I liked these ones.
I was in the U.S.M.C Infantry for 12 yrs had many pairs of boots. A few pairs where resoled never seen it done now I have. You have some skills sir well done
He was just a lucky trooper and he surely shook with priiide.
I have these boots and I swear it’s the shank that squeaks so bad in the right boot
💥💥 Now that’s pure 💥💥
Craftsmanship
❤️🏴love from Scotland 🏴 ❤
Dope. So cool to see you upgrade and restore these. Even better, for a friend and to aid in his passions. Thanks for sharing!
Wondering how practical the tongue pocket would be, and whether or not it could be dangerous in landing to have a knife there, pushing into your ankle
Closed blade and above the ankle joint so it doesn’t inhibit range of motion. Should be fine. If he twisted or folded the ankle, the knife won’t effect the injury
Awesome rebuild and the extras added made them much better than the original 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

French Indo-China Paratrooper boots from the 60's look futuristic!
Love the background music
Love to see this with voice commentery
Absolutely beautiful.
Wow!!! I love watching videos like this, the boots look stunning and the craftsmanship is superb
Build is sick but that knife pocket is giving me ankle pain just looking at it
In the days when I completed a parachute course, those boots wouldn't have been allowed. The top two lace fastenings are open types, so there would have been a small chance of them snagging a rigging line, had the parachutist tumbled. Closed lacing loops only were permitted.

Real boots used in the fields！Love them
Beautiful work love em
That's one beautiful pair of boots. ❤
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Excellent video! Though that kiltie pocket is pretty stupid I must admit
I'm not opposed to aesthetic stitching, but functionally, I feel like the knife would dig in with the kiltie pocket.
I’m guessing that pocket isn’t actually for a knife
Would be a great spot to stash emergency cash
I love that knife pocket on the kiltie
Damn! I would love a pair of these!
I'm not sure if I enjoyed the rebuild or them in action better, well done Rose Anvil Team.
Amazing man, I don't even wear shoes - but this was amazing to watch. Truly inspiring. Considering starting to wear shoes again.
You walk around barefoot all the time or what
Ngl, he’s making me consider wearing clothes again
nice job, but that location of the knife-pocket is probably the worst I could think off
Okay yeah more of these videos for sure.
You do some dam fine work
Great restoration! I prefer a thick leather midsole. Just more durable and supportive, IMO.
I thought it was going to be the he redwing sky troopers. The real paratrooper boots:(
Amazing quality video as usual. Really should be getting more views. I feel like it should be in trenton and heath territory. You guys do a great job with all the content. So satisfying to watch
Proper work. Respect
Rawhide laces are ok at first once broken in but snap within 6 months
Fantastic job, only miffling is the extra leather at the toe probably could have been implemented better, that isnt going to hold up to a ton of abuse is it? Prolly just add a stitch line to the sides and it would go a long way
My thoughts exactly. The glue will start to split and dirt will accumulate between the toe cap and the toe.
That was one of the better rebuilds I've watched and I'm a huge Bedo's fan. Great job. And I assume when the soles get worn down it's a simple tear-off and reglue? Very smart
Super satisfying to watch, and what a result.
That was a fantastic transformation. 😎👍
I have 4 or 5 pair of old RW boots... I would love to have at least 3 reworked....
Would love to see an update on these after he’s been putting them to use
Love that extra layer on the toe cap. I need to have that done on my work boots, I keep kicking stuff since I have metal toe caps on my thorogoods, so it's messing up the leather. Good idea
Same, I started doing the tuff toe on my red wings. Looks like clown shoes at first but gets the job done.
Wow great job
Pure Art
It looks like you boys know what you’re doing!
Incredibile! Sono diventati bellissimi! Bravo! Saluti dall'Itala.👋👋
aaaw so cool. absolutely amazing work.
Great upgrade. Looks amazing!
Unreal.
So educational and I would love to learn more about those machines. Thanks!

Holy mackerel!!!❤😮
Looks like the Flight Park in Draper.
Putting the pocket on a kilt ie is smart. I don’t want to ruin my boot but I’d experiment with a kiltie.
Acetone is good for you
I am sure the bottoms felt more soft with the foam inside then cork.
Great video! I wondered if a toe cap moc toe was possible
Awesome!!!
bless this content
No shank? I really liked the bevelled and welt before the dye the raw accent looked cool.
Great work but I would have preferred black stitching to make them uber Gucci 😉
Loved this one👌👌👌
Great stuff!
All the way
Considering the amount of effort you went to, not using a veg tan leather midsole seems like madness to me.
Thought the midsole looked better natural, should've just burnished it and called it a wrap.
Now I'm considering getting black boots now and not brown
amazing!
So satisfying 👍👌

i thought they looked really good with the undyed edge on the welt

Nice
I’ve got a pair of circa 2007 army boots I can drop by….
🤣
Better channel than the original?
But wouldn't it be cheaper just to buy a new pair of boots vs having all this work done or no?
How come the toe cap was not stitched on the side like the original? Looks weird without stitching.
WOW!!!
what's the cost of a new pair of boots of similar quality vs the cost to repair/refurbish these ?
Does the folded knife in the tongue pocket not jab the front of your shin to death?
Can you do my Jim Green Veli’s?
So I am in northern Utah could you guys make my doc martins pier boots that I’ve been wearing for the past 15 years back to life and better like those Irish setters?
I didn't see one single "Paratrooper" in this video.
