This videos of shoes fixing are very entertaining,great job done..!

[@jacobisler5234]

One of the best boot rebuild explainations I've seen!! Great work!

[@bustermv]

Un phased by what appeared to be a “mission impossible.” Great result..

[@joeimbesi5361]

You did a great job on those boots. Great contrast on the heels and the leather looks amazing now!

[@Theshoeman02]

Glad you like them!

[@InGrindWeCrust2010]

Dang, this was brilliant. I watch a ton of cobbler videos and have started myself, and it's unusual to find one where every step is done so well.

[@Theshoeman02]

Thanks 🙏

Amazing restaurateur work….

[@Theshoeman02]

Thank you very much!

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

Nice job

[@KarlEBrand]

WHOA!! Beautiful work! amazing!!

[@Dukeofmamucas]

The look so much better with a midsole and some heel definition

[@EdAb]

I think it's funny that you habitually removed the heel 1:46, even though the rear portion of the sole was already separated from the boot. Old habits die hard, eh?! 🤣 Great job, thank you!

[@Theshoeman02]

Lol yes I guess so, it’s also easier to remove the sole with the heel off

[@jeffe.9904]

Love your Videos-Great Job!!

Amazing work!!

They turned out great!

In love your restoration. Where did you learn to do shoe repair?

[@Theshoeman02]

@@user-lr2sq5qx2r thanks! my father in law taught me the basics, and then the rest was from UA-cam, other cobblers, and trial and errors.

[@josephiudice8287]

You were great on Shameless!

[@josemarquez4319]

Would this be once in a lifetime clean? I would think this amount of water and dish is harsh but strong enough to remove all the dirt. Any yearly cleaner you recommend ?

[@Theshoeman02]

Yes I wouldn’t recommend this for daily cleaning. You can still use the Lincoln EZ cleaner, but you don’t have to soak the boots like I did here. Just make sure to thoroughly condition the leather after.

[@petersilecchio4417]

That’s Some Great craftsmenship.

[@whiterhinooutdoors4572]

I’m hoping to get me a pair of Iron rangers soon be my first expensive to me boots ever I hope there worth it

[@Theshoeman02]

If you take care of them, they will be way worth it

[@JXM777CG]

Those boots were pushed right to the edge and you brought them way back

[@ricardocampos3383]

i could be totally wrong and i dont know much about this but it looks like that copper brush did quite a bit of damage no?

[@Theshoeman02]

It can, but I wasn’t scrubbing super hard to cause any damage. I wouldn’t recommend this for maintenance on your boots. This was just an extreme case, where it was necessary to remove all the paint.

[@jonviol]

At 11,00 you missed out making the new footbed and fitting the gimme ? or whatever its called . Can you do it again please ? thanks

[@Theshoeman02]

@@jonviol if you watch my latest video on Iron Rangers I have a better description on making the new footbeds and gemming

Holy midsole Batman, I love it.

[@edyue1]

The pope says this is a Bonafide miracle 😂

[@jimberlygridder183]

The leather looks great..but that heel looks to stacked and thick.

[@Theshoeman02]

So by adding the leather heel base it is literally stacked leather. It does make the boot a little taller, but they are still properly balanced

[@juanzavala7996]

Where are you located?

[@Theshoeman02]

I am in Smyrna Tn near Nashville

[@shogekimura]

interesting the sole has a yellow vibram logo. i have 4 pairs and none of them have a yellow logo

[@Theshoeman02]

Some of them do some dont

[@paulfogarty7724]

He said it was resoled a few times. I think the original soles don't have the yellow logo - only the replacement.

[@shogekimura]

oooh ok. thanks for clarifying@@paulfogarty7724

[@christianherrera6023]

Good job, I have some boots to change soles.

[@user-lc5uo5uj2f]

New shoes would have costs less.

[@blacksharkpro3yt351]

I really dont understand how people neglecting to atleast brush the boots like this one.

[@Theshoeman02]

Some people treat their shoes as beaters

[@daveg686]

👍

[@davey_davey_dave]

That is one thicc midsole

[@c.w.9615]

I'm surprised by the wedging of the heels. I get the idea, but I've never seen it done so drastically. Perhaps, the final balance of the boots should be rockered (a convex shape) to conform to the motion of walking. My intuition has me thinking I might wear out the heels real quick with the heels crafted in that configuration. Or is this a normal thing?? I don't know.

[@Theshoeman02]

The wedged heel all depends on the shoe. Most manufacturers snap down the bottom of the heel block before putting them on so it doesn't give the effect of a tapered block, but this has no affect on how fast the heels wear down
