For your “first time”, these turned out great! The “yet” may be only a short time because you look like you are well on your way to becoming a bookmaker. The construction of, deconstruction of, and then the construction of this improved version was fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing it.
Hey man I'm new to your channel but i've bing watched to catch up! You're definitely among one of the best cobblers around and I know a few! Excellent work Aaron!
As someone who prefers 6” boot over 8”, boot cut-down videos are the best. But man…I would be sweating taking the vamp apart. It’s too easy for a master craftsman like you. ¡Fantastico! 🙌🏽
@@gk5891 it just makes no sense. My Franks and Wesco’s are worth resoling. I do have a pair of Carolina’s I use for specific work. I work with certain floor finishes that will destroy a boot . Hence the need for a good throwaway
@@Dukeofmamucas I've got a set of Duradero for those type applications. I don't know how well they will hold up yet, but between their sales, discount codes and a free rebuild we will see if they are cost effective.
I think they look great. Had I commissioned the job, I'd have asked for a rolled top on the upper. But they're still amazing looking. The Horween CXL matches great, and will give them that amazing looking patina as the overdye begins to wear off. Great job again!
Hey Brother!! They look awesome ❤😊!!! I think you could have added a cap toe to the vamp since you were replacing the vamp anyway, and resoling the boot anyway still a super great idea.🎉 I ❤ the 6" boots with a cap toe. Keep up the great work!!!
Looks amazing man, beautifully done. I wish I could get custom work like this where I live. There’s only one shop left and they only do basic repairs now.
Wow! Great job AaRON! Very impressed with this awesome work. Las botas quedaron perfectas 👏👏☝️🔥 estoy esperando los otros videos para ver las otras botas que compro
Man you did a great job. I think they look amazing, much better then ok. Give yourself more credit my friend. If you end up not liking them I'd buy them off you.😁
Wow Aaron, I really am impressed with your skill set and i am sure you will be a great bootmaker soon. I find this whole trade of shoemaking really cool, something that I am starting to dabble with (I am a carpenter about to retire and want a low impact hobby to play with).
Maestro Aaron, I was SO happy to see this! My first loggers were Georgias (1998!) and they've been sitting in the corner for years and I *just* partially deconstructed them *exactly* to replace the vamp, toe counter, sole, and eyelets/hooks!! What an inspiration. I might need to go with honey soles now because these look so bomb! I'm not sure I'll replace the heel cups because they're plastic but good quality. (These boots have surprisingly tough build quality despite many cheap components, like the finished leather, paper footbed, plastic welt, and rubber filler). I'm planning to do roughout vamps and heels. One question: where did you find a last that's a great fit for you? I'd love to get a modified 55 from Drew's or a Thurman55 from Nick's, but not sure they'd send me one. 😅 I ask because the shape of the vamp/toe on these looks fantastic and they look great on you.
Thanks! If you ask me I’m not to happy with the last I used for this project, but it was the only pair I had, I ordered them from Mexico (Guanajuato) I asked for a different shape and they sent me a totally different one so I don’t recommend those guys and Will never by again with them.
@@AaronG2480 Maybe not... but maybe they want to do a collaboration video with you like they've done with Trenton and Heath or RoseAnvil and send you the materials for a project! 😉🤞
Te quedaron perfectamente bien. No sólo “ok”. Me parece que la forma del “toe box” es muy atractiva. Unas botas rudas como cualquier bota del PNW. Tu trabajo es muy detallado. Te felicito ampliamente y ojalá y te “avientes” a hacer botas algún día.
Sir, where are you located ? I have a pair of Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Boots. I am on knees a lot keep getting holes in the front leather. I am not sure what to do
*The boots are so good, it makes me want a pair lol 😊! Wow you did an incredible job on these! I see this is from 2023. How are the boots feeling lately? Comfortable?*
Que chulada de botas unas así quisiera tener yo pa me chance soy mecánico Diesel y yo pues estoy entre aceite, Diesel y otros derivados del petróleo ja ja y todo eso le caen a mis botas es un récord que le dure un par un año pero unas así me durarían año y medio ja aj
dont sell yourself short you did an outstanding job on them very impressive work.
The best!
🙏
I love those Honeys, but I wish they wore a little slower.
Refreshing to hear someone admit what they don't know. Good job...
In my opinion, Aaron, the best project and the best video you've done! The result is just stunning!
Yeah, this one might be tops for me, too.
Thanks so much Bryce!🙏🙏

Came here to say this. Loved this video and I hope you do more creative projects like this. Thank you.

OH man, Aaron is in the Pacific Northwest bootmaking game now. These looked great.
Thank you sir!
Those boots look much better than new!
I found your channel about a month ago and have watched a bunch of your videos, but this one is the best one I’ve watched…you are a true artist.
Thanks a lot !🙏
First attempt? I would say you nailed it!!!
🙏✋🏻
Very nice job. It seems that most boots are really cheaply made. A few small changes makes a huge difference.
Really nice Work.👍👍
🙏
They look better than ok! I was wondering when you were going to get to these. They look great.
Thanks Scott 😅
Really fascinating to see the nitty gritty of cobbling. Keep it up! I love videos like this. Great work, Aaron!!!
🙏
They have a beautiful shape to them and outsole contrast well with the blue
You made those boots pretty much entirely and they look great ! $500 for hand made boots is almost cheap. Nicely done !
Thank you!
Hey man I'm new to your channel but i've bing watched to catch up! You're definitely among one of the best cobblers around and I know a few! Excellent work Aaron!
Thanks and welcome!
Fabulous pair of boots. You did an amazing job.
outstanding craftsmanship
You have talent brother!! Keep trying & not too far from now you'll be able to make your own boots if you decide to do that!!
Thanks!

Thanks!
The cutdown was actually requested by you 😅
As for the vamb I was sweating too 😅😅😅
@@AaronG2480 Haha oh wow my memory is bad. Must say I have to agree with 7-months-ago me.
Those boots are straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
They look awesome 😊
You did outstanding! Love the recraft and the upgrades!
Se ven chingonas. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
✋🏻👊
F A N T A S T I C O!
It's time to go get a Harley for those boots!
I know right, I should of got the Harley first 😅
Very nice Aaron!
Beautiful work, sir.
🙏
Excellent job! I canr wait to see you make your own line of boots!
Excellent Job Aaron!!!! You're well on your way to becoming a Boot Maker!!
Thanks so much!
We’ll of course they fit you Aaron, your the master craftsman and they’re bespoke 😂
It's so soothing watching you work！
Exceptional craftsmanship and a beautiful pair of boots at the end of it. I still think I personally would have left them at 8".
Thanks
I’m always amazed what a good cobbler can do , I’m surprised some would spend that kind of money on a throwaway boot like that
I would spend $330 (I've got a $20 coupon) on a set of Frank's Boots Patriot long before I would spend $190 for a Georgia AMP Logger.
@@gk5891 it just makes no sense. My Franks and Wesco’s are worth resoling. I do have a pair of Carolina’s I use for specific work. I work with certain floor finishes that will destroy a boot . Hence the need for a good throwaway
@@gk5891 you figure a resole is 150-200 bucks. Not worth it on a boot like that

Te rifaste Aaron, te quedaron chingonas!!!!!
Salieron espectaculares, muy buen trabajo. Parecen nuevecitas y nada comparado a cómo empezaron. Saludos.
Muchas gracias 🙏
Chingonas! 👌
Looks great to me. Maybe you should just start making your own from scratch. I'd take a pair
Thanks, I will but not just yet!
Dude! You're an inspiration!
Looking great for a lot of logging coming up ;-))
Just watched this. I love how you reminded me of a Nicks Boots video. You're well on your way to making your own boots. Keep it up!
Thank you so much 🙏
QUEDARON PERRONAS AMIGASO!!!!!
Gorgeous work.
Very good job. If boot making is your goal, you will be very good at it.
Those are badass! Great job!
Gets my sub for an outstanding performance
Excellent work!! They look fantastic.
Thank you!
They look great!

@12:19 What is the sole? Would like to have my boots resoled with that type (originally mine are a vibram wedge sole with very little tread)!
Let me know when you are taking orders, please! I need a pair! 😃
😅
Outstanding!
No eres una bestia
eres UN MAGOOOO !!!!!!
Looks amazing man, beautifully done. I wish I could get custom work like this where I live. There’s only one shop left and they only do basic repairs now.

Thanks
I don’t, I’m not boot maker
Quedaron muy bien si más adelante te animas a ser tu marca de botas no te olvides de mexico saludos de chihuahua para pedir las mías 🎉

Muchas Gracias!
Nice job. Those boots look great!

Top bloke!
Nice work as always, but the soles would have been 🔥I'd to did what you did to the wolverine combat boots, hell of fire with cuffed jeans 👖 🔥💯👀
People requested the v 100
15% Georgia, 85% custom 🤣
Open a shop in Venice, Florida.
U did a perfect job man
Thanks!!
I Just tried my best

Nice video, but please please stitch on the on gimming, it really helps since after many years it always gets loose.
Excelente trabajo hermano, la verdad eres muy muy bueno en tu trabajo, te felicito enormemente!!!!
Muchas gracias 🙏
I’m a moc toe/wedge sole
Guy, never been a fan of a defined heel but that’s a good looking boot.
Every time I see someone cutting a boot shaft I die a little inside. Otherwise, great job
I love them!
Dope.
No paras de sorprenderme, has hecho un gran trabajo.
Como quisiera vivir en Los Angeles para poder ser tu aprendiz.
Grande Maestro! 💯🔥👏🏻👏🏻🍾🐐🧙♂️🫡
Gracias condenando Romulus 😅
Nice work, hombre. Boots look great. Where is your shop located?
Calidad de trabajo....
Solo que las sintas se miran raras con las botas 10+
Te quedaron perfectamente bien. No sólo “ok”. Me parece que la forma del “toe box” es muy atractiva. Unas botas rudas como cualquier bota del PNW. Tu trabajo es muy detallado. Te felicito ampliamente y ojalá y te “avientes” a hacer botas algún día.
¡Sí, el "toe box"/puntera tiene una gran forma!
Muchas gracias, un día de estos, si el creador nos permite, saludos!
Sick AF
😅👍🙏
Beautiful job, 2 things do you let the glue dry and activate ? Also you need a shoe press. otherwise your work is outstanding
15 minutes are good enough for the glued to be ready , i use my heat gun after that.
I do have sole press, but it can be done without it
Thanks 🙏
Sir, where are you located ? I have a pair of Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Boots. I am on knees a lot keep getting holes in the front leather. I am not sure what to do
Me gustan sus videos ya una ves me distes un consejo sobre que zapatos comprar,, cómo podría contactarte?? Gracias
*The boots are so good, it makes me want a pair lol 😊! Wow you did an incredible job on these! I see this is from 2023. How are the boots feeling lately? Comfortable?*
Thanks,
I gave them to a friend of mine,I don’t like lug soles 😅
Mold wow.
Keep up the good videos 🔥
La tela blanca que le pusiste en la punta se llama celaste, correcto??
Correcto pero no es tela
Es (plástico)
Hi they look great! You have natural talent. I have the same Georgia logger boots and want to lower the heel. Is that possible? Tanks . Im in LA
Some day I will send u my rangers.
Que chulada de botas unas así quisiera tener yo pa me chance soy mecánico Diesel y yo pues estoy entre aceite, Diesel y otros derivados del petróleo ja ja y todo eso le caen a mis botas es un récord que le dure un par un año pero unas así me durarían año y medio ja aj
