Aw, man... I settled in with my fresh cup of joe, ready for a nice shoe repair video and it's only a 5 minute PSA. But, agreed on Phillippians 4:8. We're still waiting to be introduced to that GOOD dog cruising the shop in the background of some of the videos. I'm guessing that Heath belongs to that GOOD dog.
😁 Trying to get back to mixing things up a bit like we used to do when we first started the channel (repair videos, tutorials, etc). Glad you saw the Bible verse. Yep, she’s Heath’s dog and a regular at the shop now. Well introduce her soon. Have a great weekend!
You did a pair of German Fallscharmjager boots. NOW do a real pair of COCCORANS......The hill is rubber with an angle on the front of the hill.....This is to prevent a chance of hanging in the door....lt can happen.... The army does not believe in saddlel soap or neatsfoot oil.....All they want it to shine....Some soldats in use Glow Coat kitchen wax to shine the cap toe.
Very insightful! Question about resoling wedge sole boots: is it possible to leave the existing midsole and only replace the outsole? I got a nice leather midsole put on the last resole and would lke not to replace it again. In theory, it seems possible, like peeling old top lifts off a pair of shoes, sanding off the residue, and gluing new soles on.
Excellent counsel. I've been wondering if I can add a stack to my beloved A.E. Daltons both to raise them a bit and to waylay the wear on the heel. Also, I was given a pair of Grenson Freds that have non-metallic taps on the heel and toes. Will these do the same thing? Thanks for another great video!
What are your most used size and type of tacks/nails? Looking for some ring shanks to re-attach some heels that fell off (glued construction). Is there special shoemakers ringshank nails? Thanks for any help!
Probably never will. I've tried multiple times and they just don't respond. Love how their videos are of them recrafting all different construction shoes, but if you go through their website it says they only recraft Goodyear welted shoes.
@@phil6012 *That's too bad they don't reply back 🙁 They could be very busy. Or I wonder if there was a reason for them to not respond. Seems like their emails get buried a lot, and people's emails get lost under other people's emails. I know Steve at Bedos Leatherworks has said that on his channel before. Sorry to hear.*
Thanks everyone for the heads-up. I think also, the resole has to make for good viewing and mine is probably just an everyday job. I sure miss that J & M quit resoling their own shoes. 😔
My RW 875 soles are starting to look the video caption. Can a cobbler just peel the wedge off the rubber midsole and glue a new one on or do I have to go further than that (new cork, welt, etc.)
I once bought a very cool vintage pair of cowboy boots on eBay. When they arrived, it turned out that the rubber heel pads had both been completely removed and the person had kept on wearing them on just the leather heel block. 🤦🏼♀️ Turns out, just pulling off the heel pads and carrying on is NOT a great solution to worn-out heel pads! The re-heeling was cheap. Would’ve been cheaper without a couple of layers of the heel block needing to be replaced too, though!
Is it normal to have a Goodyear welt to have a minor separation from the mid-sole? It's about 10mm on both boots that have separated..... Thx for your reply!
I’m assuming the stitches are still holding in that area but it’s showing signs of minor separation? If so, it’s just wear the glue is coming undone. No biggie really until the stitches also come undone there.
Hey guys! I’ve been trying to remember the name of the men’s underwear that occasionally sponsors you, but for the life of me, I can’t pull it out of my brain. Would you kindly remind me of the name? A friend is in dire need! Thanks much!
The difference between "thrifty" and "cheap" is that a thrifty cowboy gets it repaired BEFORE the cost of repair increases due to this damage. The cheap cowboy just doesn't know, or doesn't want to come out of that river called Da Nile and spend a little, but learns the hard way when he has to spend a LOT.
This will depend on how attached you are to them. I have a pair of 16 or so year old Redwing boots that I had resoled from the hard surface to more of the uneven rough surface sole that's softer and easier on the feet. Cost was $110 for that on a pair of boots that cost about the same then but new replacement boots in similar Redwing are going for almost 200 now. And with a new insert they're like wearing newer boots. Does this help?
It depends upon what you’re having done and who the shoe cobbler is. New heel pads…yeah. ($50 max by most places). Some shoe cobblers will resole for $100.

Can an arch support be added while the shoe is being repairing?

Thanks for the info! I have a pair of Johnston & Murphy that need a resole but can't reach you guys. I do enjoy the vids.

Not bad, I got a pair of Nicks boots not long ago and I want to make sure they stay in as good of a condition as possible

Appreciate the info and Bible verse also. Blessings guys and yep Heath's dog is your new mascot 😅😊😂😊
I wish they made sneakers that could be re-soled. My heel strike always wears down the outside edges of the heels of my sneakers.
Yep. Me too. Best I can do is alternate a few pairs so it doesn’t happen as quickly. Costs more up front to buy more pairs but seems to work.
Allen Edmonds makes sneakers that can be resoled.
No need for a full resole if it is not a real trash-shoe like a nike etc with these tall foam soles.Just sand the are and apply a piece of rubber.
You should try to restore Nike shoes and tell us the difference working with those and boots
What is the average price of shoe repair?
Can expensive sandal Birkenstock be resole?
Many of the ones with the signature cork soles can be.
great video
Glad you enjoyed it.
Hey guys!

An alternate title for this video could be Tell Me Cowboys are Thrifty Without Telling me Cowboys are Thrifty. 😁
Not thrifty if it means the shoe can't be resoled or it costs more to resole.
The difference between "thrifty" and "cheap" is that a thrifty cowboy gets it repaired BEFORE the cost of repair increases due to this damage. The cheap cowboy just doesn't know, or doesn't want to come out of that river called Da Nile and spend a little, but learns the hard way when he has to spend a LOT.
@@RatdogDRB The funny thing is I originally typed the word "cheap", but deemed it too offensive. I thought "thrifty" would soften the blow. 😁
Interesting video But lets say a shoe or work booth cost $ 150 to $ 200 .00 dollars are they worth resolving

Why has no one told me I was wearing my shoes backwards
