- Опубліковано 22 лип 2022
- This is the OLDEST pair of footwear that we have EVER worked on! In this video, we take apart this pair of women's boots that date back to the early twentieth century and put them back the way they originally came. This was a very delicate project, but we were pleased with the results. Time for another restoration job!

So I'm a history geek too, Trent. The Arcade is a historic shopping center in downtown Providence, Rhode Island and was built in 1828. It has the distinction of being the first enclosed shopping mall in the United States. That is possibly where those boots were originally sold.
I've always wanted to take antique boots apart, but haven't had the heart to do it yet! Thanks for the shoutout guys - happy to help! :)
I was surprised when they shouted you out. I watch your videos and thought the whole time that this would be something you could have helped them with. Small world I guess
I got bumped to this video from Vicky’s channel.. lol. Love both channels, it’s a win / win!!
Subscribe to Rose Anvil. He chops up shoes from historic to modern.
I agree I cringed watching them take them apart. But still so beautiful.
Vicky, I viewed your show and you’re AMAZING! Thank guys for sharing her with us. You’re all incredible and I’m jealous I don’t quit my job to do what I love. I don’t have the guts to do it.
I have my great grandmother’s lace up shoes. She was wealthy and I suspect that they were French and VERY EXPENSIVE. I treated them with Saphir as soon as I found you guys. Thanks for helping to save these shoes from the 1880’s.
The Arcade at 65 Weybosset St, Providence, RI came to mind. Built in 1828, the Arcade is the nation’s oldest indoor shopping mall and remains the historic heart of Providence’s downtown.
The original Arcade was the Burlington Arcade in London -- the original department store. It opened in 1819. Every fashionable place in the English speaking world attempted to copy it. But the Burlington Arcade is still there.
Good morning guys. I've seen a lot of this style of women's boots in antique shops and vintage clothing stores. I had no idea that they were made this well. I guess that's why they've been around for over a hundred years. Mass produced shoes and boots made today for women won't ever last that long. BTW the length of the video is about the same as the year the boots were made. 19:07. Coincidence ?😉
Haha…definitely a coincidence! That’s pretty cool. Very valid point on the construction quality.
@AbbyCox and @BernadetteBanner would probably love to see this! They are dress historians and specialize in around this time period!
We will take any further historical detail we can get. Thank you.
Also @NicoleRudolph who makes period shoes as well.
I was thinking the same thing
That is my absolute favorite time frame for women's clothing and shoes. I had a pair of boots back in the day not quite as tall as those but one made in a similar fashion and I wore them until they literally could not be repaired anymore. And then cried because they were so comfortable and matched everything I wore.
The Arcade (265 or 295) is in Bognor Regis, UK. It’s between Brighton and Portsmouth on the southern coast on the English Channel.
When a project demands the highest level of craftsmanship and artistry, you two really shine. Great video. Hope you’re both doing well.
*Proof that many items can be repaired no matter how old they are! Incredible restoration and video!! Thank you for sharing this with us!*
*By "many items" don't assume I mean "all" items lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣! Of course there's things that are too far gone. Then again, people have their own view of what "too far gone is". My definition is if something looks too ragged, torn, beat up, has too many missing parts, so dirty that the stains stay, etc then yea too far gone. If someone is going to throw away something that is pretty beat up, but can be fixed. Then that is wasteful.*
This could be from the Arcade in Cleveland, OH. I don't know what stores there were when it opened in the 1800's but it had lots of shops for things like this.
you are correct. David DeAngelo posted another comment with some business directory information from the early 1900. I was thinking it was there as well. Three of us had the right location it seems. 🙂
This was going to be my guess.
Wow. Those machines brought back so many memories in my grandfather's shoe repair shop.
Wow, just wow. Your enthusiasm and talent really showed through in this historic restoration. Good job, Trenton & Heath! This is why I come back time after time.
More vintage shoe repair/redo/reconstruct videos please ❤
the quality of these as old as they are is astonishing they should be in a museum so much of this era stuff is decomposed
Yes,very cool. It would be nice to see more vintage footwear reconditioning videos.
We are working on it
OMG! The mustache is back! I'm in awe!
Even at the high end $4. Conversion rate you couldn't buy boots of this build quality today, you would be much closer to the $600. mark for this quality. Great work as always guys.
Nearly everyone went cheap with throwaway shoes, sadly. Driving the price up of good quality shoes.
I am addicted to this channel. You all could repair a Croc and make it interesting. Time to start breaking in my Alden 405's that I got last night.
Amazing job, Gentlemen!!! Haven’t watched this channel in a while, so I gotta say, love the moustache, Heath!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Wow guys! I got goosebumps on this video! If you ever find again shoes like this, don't hesitate a second! You wizardly restore everything in a way, I think, no-one else could. 🤩😉😊
These types of videos are the type I would love to see in their full length (more or less). They are interesting in that they are about history, and also educational. I can sir and watch an hour or two with people making shoes from scratch. Fixing a pair of 5 year old worn out loafers on the other hand, 10 minutes is more than enough. ;)
Absolutely agree!
Why is it so relaxing watching you guys restoring boots and shoes?
Watching the restoration of these boots brings up questions about who may have owned them and where they lived as well some insight into their lives
I actually LOL'd at the 'take a breather during the unlacing' bit.
You guys are amazing! Love the old shoes/boots history.
My grandmother was born in 1902, her sister was older, born in 1900. I a photograph of the 2 of them taken about 1916-1918, both are wearing what appears to be white or buff colored, laced up boots that are not quite as high in the heel or upper, but they have the same shaped heel.
They were from a farm and I cannot imagine their mother wearing the style of boot you did in this video, but I could be wrong. However, I just cannot imagine her wearing them to milk the cow or feed the chickens and gather eggs, lol.
Thanks for giving me a memory!
One of your best restorations! Very cool!
I wish shoes were still made in that form and shape. I love the late Victorian era. It makes me sad that they are being taken apart. But they are lovingly being restored ❤
Great video as always Gents. A pleasure to watch you guys work your magic.
I love the historical content! Simply awesome 😊
Great work done on this pair of antique boots. Loved and enjoyed this video. Thank you!
What a fantastic pair of boots. Great job with the restoration!
Finally, something for women. Wonderful restoration.
I love these boots!!! Great job guys!
This was a great video! Would definitely love to see more like it. Great work as always gents!
Great video guys, I really love the antique & vintage, WW1 & 2 stuff, please continue with this content sometimes, it is totally fascinating and I appreciate the info & efforts!
This was amazing. So much fun.
This is my favorite video from you guys in a long time. I loved it!
Watching you fellers work is truly fascinating. Luv it.👍👍
Excellent restoration! Yes, many more please. Excellent video!!!
I LOVE the historical shoes and boots and the tidbits that come with them!
Great Stuff Guys....Fascinating !
NOW HERE IS A VIDEO I CAN WATCH AND APPRECIATE.
Not like that JACKWAGON over at Rose And Anvil who DESTROYED WWII boots to tell us what we ALL ALREADY KNEW - that they were WELL MADE.
FANTASTIC JOB PRESERVING these historical shoes and wonderful instruction on their quality and history. Thanks for not being a couple of jackwagons.
What a beautiful project, these boots are magnificent 🥰. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed.
@@TrentonHeath the channel is great
Loved it! So interesting . I love the history lessons! More of this is fine with me.
Amazing restoration... I hope you make more videos like this... hopefully you'll come across more shoes or boots like this... its amazing to see the craftsmanship in this 👍
Absolutely beautiful! Well done
Amazing work as usual. I love history and well made footwear.👍🏻
I adore you videos guys! You always do an amazing job about carefully restoring boots
Thank you for your work and informative aesthetic videos ✨
The original work put into these boots was amazing..great job in presenting the history behind them.
Outstanding teaching from Mr Heath. Thanks guys.
Absolutely fascinating!
Museum ready. Fascinating to see history restored.
Nostalgia just watching this video. Thanks for sharing. Much enjoyed.
Great craftsmanship!
I love it when you add history into the videos. Keep doing more of these! 👍🏻
Love these vids. Such an amazing trade and fine attention to detail. I love the old machines. Plus the history is cool. Very relaxing to watch. These would make excellent ASMR vids.
This was a great video. I just love the look back into how shoes were constructed, either for the better or worse. Also, incredible job on the restoration!
Wonderful restoration! So cool to see them kept alive, be super cool to see someone actually walking around in them.
Wow thanks for the video guys was really cool to watch
Gorgeous Restoration
You guys are amazing at your craft. True professionals!
Love this video. Ladies historical boots are awesome.
This is one of your better videos. I really enjoyed the explanation of the old techniques of shoe making and the history you told about the boots. That stacked leather heel is beyond cool.
Thank you. It was fun to make.
Amazing quality and care that went into crafting the original shoe. Also, you guys kept the original integrity, or close as you could. Impressive.
Absolutely beautifully done, very fascinating
Nothing cooler than restoring some antique pieces!!! Fantastic Job guys!!!
Great video 👍🏽 if I had boots that old I would have also done some type of research so that’s cool that you looked them up keep up the great work and videos they came out 🤌🏽
This is awesome!!! 😍😍😍 Thanks so much!
Great craftsmanship.
Wow you guys out did your selves on this one ! I love the before and after .. impressive guys
Extraordinary work!
Great video, thanks for posting.
This was absolutely fascinating I loved watching it. The finished boots looked stunning and I for one would happily wear them.
Simply beautiful!
Amazing artisanship yet again, Thank You!
This is by far my FAVORITE one!!! Very interesting.
I have a picture of my great grandmother wearing boots just like this!
You guys need to have your own stamp (T&H) on these beautiful mods you guys do !! well done !
Thank you for doing this project. Lot of neat history there. Have a blessed weekend gentlemen.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the historical revelations and journey. Wonderful.
Thank you . Loved this one
Awesome video. Love seeing something different
This is so interesting. Love all the extra historical facts thrown in.
I loved every moment of this video, just Incredible!
Such classy lines.
This was so cool! I love that you guys respect the history of the shoe!
Fascinating project. Looked good at the end as well, still looked old, but now looks looked after 🙂
Gorgeous work.
Do I really have time on a Saturday morning to watch a twenty minute video of a boot restoration? Why yes. Yes I do.
Made me feel very nostalgic. Also made me remember my grandmothers couldn't vote in this era.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
They could vote in some states (mostly in the West), and not long after this they could vote nationwide.
Outstanding! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Would love to see a women's fashion trend of getting back to some well-made footwear like these old boots. It was a treat to see some well-constructed, yet delicate appearance workmanship. Too bad they didn't have a set of shoe trees for them too.
We agree!
It’s out there. You just have to be willing to pay for it.
@@Heywoodthepeckerwood Of course, but very few are willing to make the investment.
@@TrentonHeath I would like that too please it's almost impossible to find, Goodyear welted women's shoes.
Is the reason todays women shoes are “ temporarily “ constructed because their fashion changes before the shoe needs repair? Us gents, we can and should wear a cap toe our whole life. Thus it makes sense for us to have a well built repairable shoe. What does not make sense it to pay $700 for womens boots that are cheaply built, which all to often seems the case
That mustache is giving me Top Gun daddy realness! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
One of your COOLIST videos! Thanks dudes
13:45 The Arcade, Cleveland, OH would make sense. Seems it was the first indoor shopping center in the USA, built in 1890. 265 is a possible suite #.
Update: Yup. Cleveland! Found a link, going to reply to myself so you can see the book link they're mentioned in below:
That makes four of us who found info on it. David DeAngelo made a post with business directory from the early 1900s
These were incredible! I love history like you guys. Even more I like the idea that someone can walk in those shoes more than a century later because of your talent! More history lessons please.
Very nicely done. Good video.
Wow you both get to work on some pretty neat shoes thank you for your videos and keep up all the great work!!!!!
