When I was young there was an old Italian cobbler in my neighborhood (East Boston, Ma.)who learned the craft in his native Sicily. I used to go to him when I needed any of my hockey gear repaired, gloves, shin pads, pretty much anything. He would just charge me a dollar or two. He always wore a wrinkled white shirt and a too short tie. He was talented and dignified, proud of his work. His name was Christy, I'm going back 50 or so years ago. I loved the smell in his shop, leather and pipe tobacco. He is one of the best memories from my youth, this video brought it all back..thank you and goodnight Christy wherever you are.
👍 Hey, Eastie! 😎 Go Red Sox!
Dude I think I know the place you speak of. Was it in Everett? Or close to. My father used to take me all the time when I was a child.
@@cgrazglassworks no it was in East Boston but there is a place in Everett that's been around for 30 plus years, that might be the place your thinking of.
@@mbtadhl haha yeah has to be the place.
Take it from a middle aged Sicilian tradesman. No finer praise could be spoken of a man than your fond memories of this man and his abilities..
Mille Grazie.
The United States needs more craftsmen like this. Remember folks, support your local craftsmen and buy quality product.
Problem is the local craftsman doesn’t understand business or how to run one, so they jack up the price to cover the fact they don’t know how to control overhead or run their business
Making their product not worth its price.
Chequee Zrcsr boot insurance?
Link?
Info?
@@tedpendagast579 Yeah I had to look it up. I see boot warranty, but no boot insurance.
Ain't nothing like getting them good ole work kicks back from the tire shop. Excellent job👍🇺🇲
Ted Pendagast Another related argument is that Americans aren’t making enough money, or are making different economic choices, that limit the interest in serviceable items so that they are a niche products, resulting in the higher price for said items. Translated; Americans would rather purchase cheaper items made overseas, so they can purchase more cheap items regardless of the consequences.
Old School craftsmanship is so satisfying to witness. To think this was the norm on every street corner at one time.
I had two cobblers at the corner growing up. Sad to see them all but gone in this country
@Rafael Pinefa You are correct. That'll be the case until the Chinese economy catches up to the west.
We had one I remember gone more than a score now. I think about it every time I pass their old building.
Our throw away society is sad.
@@SpareRoomPokemon inderdaad
It's weird how watching a video of this man repair a worn pair of boots will make a brother tear up!? The comments drive it all home. There is nothing more beautiful than the accord between a craftsmans work and the people that appreciate it.
Hey Brother, I don’t know a thing about what you do. My level of knowledge regarding shoe construction begins and ends with the laces. Sometimes, like today, when it all just kind of sucks, I’ll pour a stiff scotch, roll a....ahem...cigarette... and watch you work all night. It doesn’t take long for things to come back into focus. I don’t know what you do, but I sure appreciate it. Thanks for bringing an aging veteran a little peace and quiet for a few hours.
right on brother. i dont often have a scotch but a bottle of dewer's 18 year old has done it for me. and the "a ahem cigarette" is always a good choice. and this craftsman can resole my brand new boots in a year or so. i am a veteran as like you. right on brother.
dee Fisher you wouldn’t have to work very hard to get me to wrap my hand around a Dewars. Especially an 18 year old Dewars. Just don’t think less of me if I drop an ice cube in it. For some reason, I do better when I let my mouth bring dewars to temp. Counterintuitive I know, but it works for me.
I know just what you mean about your boots. I’ve got a pair of Red Wings I wore as a street medic for several years. I’d be right honored to see him do those boots.
Be thinking about you this weekend and I’m sure there will be a toast around the table.
haha my friend. i was a medic in the army for over a decade. lot of similarities. ill see if i can't find some scotch
Jared Crotty well said
001 002 It’s always so satisfying when the trolls come out. I’ll save the back and forth here. If you want me to take your obvious penchant for keyboard warfare seriously, at least use your real name.on it. Just you entering into a conversation with a statement designed for a response while not having the sack to use your name merely reinforces the knowledge of every other consumer of your comment, that you’re some weak, weapons grade douche bag that has nothing better to do, than.... this. In fact, it’s probably the highlight of your life. I’m sorry your parental hug count is so deficient you need to do this for attention. You didn’t even have the balls to reply directly to me. So, you’re a failure as a troll as well. I’m sure you’re just dim witted enough to not realize you are heavily outclassed by every other commenter in this thread so, when you respond, please include an explanation of how out of a million sperm you were the fastest. Just so we can continue to be entertained by your expected display of stupid.
Too many fail to realize the craft that goes into a fine pair of work boots. Its become almost impossible to find a cobbler these days. Awesome work.keep it up
There's one in my town. I had a pair of boots re soled.
Junior Adkins ,I wore girl and women’s shoes and used a cobbler till the eighties .
Without any tread on those I don’t think is call them work boots anymore ... should’ve left the old soles on it seeing they actually had tread left
I have 2 cobblers in my city
need a cobbler in colorado anyone?
Brian, I needed to see this video. As crazy as it sounds this short video moved me spiritually and emotionally. So many memories came flooding back to my mind, so suddenly.
I remember being a young, young boy and hearing my dad walk up the front porch and into our home with his lineman boots on, after a hard days work. He would go into his room, flop on his bed and fall asleep. He would take a brief nap, before showering and changing clothes. I would peer through the crack in the door and make sure he was asleep. Once I new it was safe, I’d creep into the room and quietly unlace what seemed like a hundred holes and loops and slowly remove those rugged, oiled and weathered boots. They weighed a hundred pounds to me. I would stare at them and imagine all the poles they climbed and protection they provided my father, so he could provide a home and food for us, his family. I wanted to be a hero like him, someday.
Your video is a metaphor for honor amongst working men. In a way, it’s what Christ wants from man. One man wears his boots to love his family. Another man refurbishes and repairs those boots when the time comes. Then the circle continues. Bless you, young man. I wish you continued success in your trade.
Wow
Your memory of your dad is wonderful,people to day seem only to respect the famous and wealthy.
Were as its really the everyday person working all hours that should be respected the most.
Godbless
You had me all the way until you started talking about god 😂
Humanity at its best. We are the "super computer"
@@MyBodyWash that’s because you are feeble minded.
All that from a boot repair video!? I thought the beginning was kind of creepy, and the middle was basically the same as all his other videos. Whatever makes you happy. 👍🙂
You know this guy's legit when he puts the tacks in his mouth.
I would be honored to have some of his DNA in my boots
If you use the ancient arts the doesn't need a hammer to tack the nails !
Grandpa was a cobbler, Didn't think he was cool, One of my life's many regrets 50 years later.
Every skillset is a different kind of art. Never be ashamed of an honest living.
I’m sure he didn’t mind, He knew you still loved him as a grandpa even if you didn’t think his job was the coolest :)
001 002 Are you on the computer while mommy’s out,
Mine was too. He passed away when I was seven so I never really knew. Got a lot of the old tool and the iron lasts. He'd have loved this video.
But you know how cool he was in hind sight, so you "got it" after all. Hes alive in your thoughts and spirit, so he and his skill are appreciated by his grandson even now. Salute to you and your grand father....
Not sure why I'm even watching this, but I gotta say, it's pretty freakin cool
Now you know ... it's cool
Had a bad and busy day at work today. Came home to your video and I am now so relaxed and educated in your craftsmanship. Thank you so very much. Stay safe young men.😷
My lord, we need more cobblers in our world, when I was young they were everywhere.....
It is a dying trade like the business I was in...tv repair.
Great job sir, you are a skilled worker.!!
I have not watch idiot box in 20 years but I still where boots every day. Boot an't dieng, the people getting in to it are slow, with mail order firms.
I can smell that shop, it takes me back to when I was a kid. My grandpa used to repair boots and make moccasins. The smell of his old boot shop is something I will never forget.
shadedude6games - Yes !!! The smell of those old shops and stores!!
My Uncle David had a Feed and Seed store back in McAllen, Texas, when we were growing up.. My Dad, his brother, took us there many times, and I can still, some 60 years later, remember that smell... It was a lot of what was in those mountains of 100lb cloth sacks of different feeds, seeds, flour, etc., and the other smells of guns, oil, hardware, machines, and all those hundreds of little chicks in their warmed brooders, around Easter time...
All those memories of these big, strong, men, my Dad and his 4 brothers, all served in horrendous parts of WWII in Europe and the Phillipines Islands, all wounded, all recovered and working hard all their lives until they one by one passed away..
I look forward to seeing them all again, with their families on the other side..
Thanks for the memories !

Never would I have thought I would watch a video of a young man resoling a boot. But here I am, loving it! Nice job, you are a Craftsman.
Awesome! Love to see young folks taking up these crafts, we need more of this and less throw away crap. Well Done.
I just had my 50 yr old pair of boots resoled for the 6th time with the wedge again, because I wanted to keep the the way I bought them and I plan on that being the last resole of my boots and my life. If we make it another 15 yrs I’ll be happy to die with them nearby. I find much satisfaction out of knowing they lasted me so long. God bless the boot makers.
Truly an art and gift this young guy has. I thought this was a lost trade with no interest going forward for young people. I applaud you.
Always amazing to watch you renew a pair of boots. So precise.
These are my boots.
I remember when I picked them up (three years ago?) that you said you made a video, but I just saw it for the first time after someone sent me a link. I DID NOT expect a video of this quality. Thank you Brian!
Ahhh... pride of craftsmanship.
And Redwings!!
Truly a Win Win.
Why so many dislikes? You have to applaud and appreciate the level of skill and time it took to master and hone his craft. This was my first video of this young man and I truly am amazing and feel there is hope left for these young people! Great job and you earned yourself another subscriber ✌🏻
Marvalicious i was wondering the same. Probably a bunch of haters. Lol.
@Buddy Van Cigrit and the kids are learning a trade.
@Buddy Van Cigrit because with the quality of boots he is repearing its cheaper to do a resole than to buy another boot worth 300 to 400 bucks.
Its because he rosoled them incorrectly. With this boot there is already a welt sewn onto it. You are supposed to simply peel off the soft rubber and then attach new soft rubber to it. This gentleman removed the welt along with most of the cork that makes the boot comfortable before attaching a completly different sole to the boot. There isnt anything wrong with the one he put on, but it is not the correct style to match this boot.
I don't know why but my favorite part of these videos is when Brian puts the edge dressing on.............so satisfying!
This is my definition of
“Making America Great Again” learning about and exploring timeless crafts. Thanks.
I’m so glad you polished them at the end. It was driving me crazy looking at the condition of them
Turning into a star around the camera now. Tosses in a smile now and then.
It is really amazing , and soothing to see someone practicing an honest down to earth traditional trade!
Your AWESOME BROTHER
Botas de trabajo no deben llevar tacón la suela anterior era liza
this is satisfying to watch, the fact that this person is young and enjoys what he is doing. It just shows.
A dying art. I (and my wife sitting beside me!) agree-you should be told how good your work and art is, and you should be proud.
He listened and got the safety glasses on!!
First thing I noticed, too!
Me: "why is this so relaxing and satisfying?"
Also Me: "why am I watching a man resole boots at 4am? And don't swallow those tacks, young man!"
Anna Newby no but literally I’m watching this at 4am
Anna Newby, I'm watching this very video at 4.50am as I'm unable to sleep. I found it fascinating for some reason.
Saw comment and looked at time, 4:01am. God damn it.
It’s so satisfying because we humans are supposed to be using our hands to make things. Now at most we use them to flip people off and to shove food in our mouth...the end. We find it relaxing because we crave to make things but when we can not we watch others so it.
4:05 am right now.
To those commenting about the music. You are watching Brian do what he does, which is as good as it gets. You are listening to what Ms Brian does, which is her expression of her own talent. Together, two talents melded together to make very pleasingly enjoyable videos. Understand it is not just music, it is chosen and edited with much thought by an equally talented craftsperson.
So good to se such a young man keeping up the tradition, and doing iff so well. Very satisfying to watch!
I've been watching for years, and this is the most beautiful transformation in my opinion, great job !
Casey Hall Just wait until you see an unbeliever accept Jesus ;)
@@Pbs-xs4xk ...while wearing role club boots?
It would be added fun to show your customers reactions..He really loved those boots and you did an amazing job.
Wow! , that brought me back to the time of my childhood in my little town. It was when the life was very simple and were "real people" behind the basic things of life.
They were friends not just sellers.
Your craftsmanship is One of a kind!! Your Father taught you well!! God Bless you Brian as you tailor your craft, and passion!!
Much respects to you young man, for your willingness to be in a dying trade and tradition.
You're wearing your eye protection!! Well done. That was a great video and you are super talented. Greetings from Arizona.
I've seen your videos before. Every time I think wow this is what it takes to cover my feet. What is that really worth? I couldn't work in construction without awesome foot gear. I couldn't have served in the military without awesome foot gear. That was the last time I had a pair of boots re-soled. Which was awesome because I didn't have to break in the leather! Much respect for a humble profession.
Watching a highly skilled craftsman such as yourself is so enjoyable. I also like the soothing music with minimal speaking, and then when you are done, the finished product is perfect. I`m sure that sometimes your customers are shocked at how you have transformed their old shoes. Thanks for taking the time to show others how this job is done. I for one had no idea before watching you.
You truly are a craftsman!!
Keep up the good work 👍
It warms my heart that a craftsman still exists. Would you also post their bill at the end. And I'd LOVE to see the customer pick them up.
@Blueskies my point exactly! read the menu = know the prices. You got it.
@@KBellaTruth If he posted the cost you'd probably just go buy a new pair of boots, lol.. You're not saving any money really, these days anyway.. Typically this is the kind of thing when you've finall broke in the leather on the boot, and the sole's worn out, so you could buy a new pair, go through the same process, or pay as much as a new pair to have your broken in boots re-soled...
Bob Smith I don’t know what he charges. But I just went thru this. Today as a matter of fact. I have a pair of Danner boots $195 on sale for $142. To have Danner resole $130. Went to local guy $85. And mine aren’t crazy expensive. Some red wings are a couple bills. The better the boot the more it’s worth having resoled.
Don't know how I stumbled here, but glad I did. In today's throw away society, where nothing's made to last anymore. It's refreshing to see such craftsmanship and care put into repair and rejuvenation. You're part of a vanishing art. Keep it up.
Your hands are magic with what you have “ thanks for showing us your art and trade “
I always bring my Redwings back to my local Redwing store to be resoled. I don't care who they send it to to do the work, as long as it comes back with the original style oil and slip resistant soles. Any other type, I wouldn't be able to wear in them the machine shop anymore.
So that's the secret to your superpower. A handful of nails every morning.
Awesome craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing your work with us.
Those are some pretty cool old safety glasses. It's good to see you wearing them!
My entire life, I've grown up in a culture of replacement and consumption. If something breaks, throw it away and get a new one. Easy.
As a tradesman myself, though, I really understand the value and beauty of something that's wrought from the hands of a craftsman. Something strong enough to last the test of time, and substantial enough to be worth fixing, rather than disposing.
I think one day the Western world will realize the mistakes we have made as a society when we switched from sturdy and elegant artisan works, to cheap and forgettable consumables. I am afraid that my generation won't have much of anything worth calling an "heirloom". Hopefully, the global sociopolitical atmosphere will change, and manufacturing cheap crap overseas will no longer be appealing or profitable enough to keep pulling people away from actually nice stuff.
That's my dream, anyway.
Chris Lawson it’s all coming back now...life is cyclical including history!
You can still buy a lot of things that are built well. You just really have to shell out the money.
My dream too brother!
@@kyle-qw5yx that sir was and is always the case, and the repairs to keep it up. The old saying "a stitch in time saves nine" is true.
Reading your comment now, when this Covid-19 pandemic is taking the world by storm, I’m hoping that the world gets a lesson in life and skills. I’m in Canada, can’t leave my home. I’m wishing I had done more. Like get seeds to hopefully start a garden in the spring, recycle and reuse more, learn how to fix broken but not dead quality everything’s. I have a feeling you may get your wish!
Cheers, and keep healthy and safe!
So young to be so masterful in this venerable trade. Clean, confident, outstanding work.
Don't know how I got here at 0220 on 12/31 but I'm glad I did. Instant sub. 💙
It’s not just craftsmanship! It’s pride in your craft that makes your videos interesting!
Absolutely beautiful job this seems to be more of an art than a skill. I glad to see that this knowledge is being passed down to the next generation.
A dying art, I have a great deal of respect, what you put on your feet can make a difference in the physical quality of life.
Nice job Brian ! It’s nice to see a young man that is really good at hi job and takes pride in his work
Wow! A million comments here. Great video. I have worked in 877’s for over 45 years as a commercial carpenter doing 70% heavy concrete and bridges. I probably have over 20 pairs hanging in my barn! All have been resoled at least once
I dont know what i'am doing here.. but really, i'am enjoying the whole process...
Everytime I´m in a great need of peace and relax or even worried or sad I find calm watching you at work.
Brian The Bootmaker is he real?? Can I get in touch with him?
When my life doesn’t agree with me, I play a BTB vid.
Great work! I enjoyed watching your video! Please make more videos in the same fashion.
You brought me back to my childhood in Mexico City when I used to watch an old cobbler doing his amazing job.
Quality work, love watching our generation still carry on these trades
Beautiful job, and a true craftsman. More people need to take pride in their work.
My dad and granddad were both framers, when i see nails in the mouth i know its a true master of the craft at work. good sign of being comfortable on the work source. i love it. Subscribed.
Strangely satisfying to watch and I could not look away. The craftsmanship shown here was inspiring. Too many people buy cheap offshore goods but American leather, even older re souled leather, has so much character. Great video.
Another job well done, Brian! Damn that leather was screaming for some TLC!
Why does anyone pay for therapy when this is free?
Thank you young man, you truly are a craftsman. There so few of you left...keep up the great work, you are well respected.
Holy crap that is the most amazing pair of boots your work is so beautiful and it's such a lost art great job I could watch this all day
Bueno Brian, por fin unas suelas al gusto de “ el español “, no me dirás que no se quedan más chulas y serias que con las suelas blancas originales.
Para gustos los colores, como decimos aquí. A mi me gustan más así. Muchísimas gracias por el vídeo. Un saludo amigo. 👍🏼👍🏼😃😃🇪🇸🇪🇸
Miguel Millán Pérez Si, a mi siempre me han echado para atrás la suela blanca y sin tacon. Parecen de niño, como unas kickers
Me gustan mas las originales son mas comodos que con tacon
Blueskies Hello! he was talking about the white soles which are not something people like, for intance, Miguel and I, whereas Pocoyo says he likes them as they are.... Which make sense as they sell a lot as they are.
That intro brought back some memories
I get mesmerized by your videos. I love the redwing boots, I have more than my fair share. With the love of the boot and the work that you do and the music you add just creates a a chance to chill for a while. I don’t know it just works for me. I am fascinated!!!
How the hell are there 1500 dislikes for this video? WTF is wrong with people. Here is a man, doing honest work, probably not getting rich but is wealthy in skill. Hats off to you, sir.
Brian, you are such a gifted young craftsman..... you sure give an old shoe repair guy hope for the trade. As long as there is quality footwear your job is safe👍 Besides you can always fix the boots you make! Keep doing amazing things 👍 Bob in Colorado
Whereabouts in Colorado? Are you practicing?
Datman Unfortunately I am not still in the foot wear restoration business.... but I’m in Estes Park.... there are several shops in the Front Range My mon just last year closed our family shop after 90 years in the same town 😢
Bob Liddell Oh wow thats a shame! I am in Lakewood. Pretty intrigued with the craft and would inquire about apprenticing if the opportunity presented itself. In a world ruled by technology it seems like such a breath of fresh air. Thanks for the response!
Datman Go find a good shoe repair shop..... get a smell, ask to watch, you never know what can happen..... Good Luck 👍
Those boots looked almost DOA when you got them but they look fabulous when finished. 👍🌞☮️🥾
Unbelievable quality!!!!!!!!!!!! You folks are definitely Masters of your trade!!! Great work!
Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine becoming addicted to cobbler videos on youtube.
Watching this, I wish I had never tossed out those old 1980's Herman Survivors that I thought were just "worn out."
I love this channel. Me personally I prefer the look of the wedge on that boot.
Thank you so much, Brian the Bootmaker !!! Your attention to detail and obvious love for the work shines through so clearly.. I hope and pray that you and yours will always be well and safe wherever you are..
I have a couple pair of Redwings that I have completely worn out, and so wish I could find an expert craftsman like you..
God Bless you and yours !!

Who the heck can give a dislike to these videos? Talk about jealous! Dude is a master at his craft.
Brian you make it look easy, I myself would like to hear a little bit of the machinery in action, great work y saludos al maestro!
This is the guy that ate a bowl of nails for breakfast without any milk.
Holy... I will buy a new Red Wing and have this guy put a sole on this boot. I have several styles that would look awesome with a flat sole conversion to heeled. This guy is an artist.
A master craftsman going quietly about his business and building a massive reputation
True, I believe that
I’d have to go buy more work boots when I got those back. I wouldn’t want them to touch bare ground .
@001 002 I believe the the idea behind the thread is more for until the glue dries, than for holding it together. Won't affect re-sole life at all.
If your bench wheel grabs that leather shoelace you won't believe what will happen next.
frank frank I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that he
My Uncle was a Cobbler in Claymont Delaware ...I can still remember the squeak in that old floor...the smell of the glue.. and that big ol sanding and polishing machine that had to have been 20 feet long... I see you use some of the same tools He did!! He would set his shoes under a heat lamp to heat the glue before they went back on... Jim's Shoe Repair... God Bless My Dear Uncle Jim ❤️...Thank You sir
More than a craftsman , a true artist!! Bravo!!!
I mean really, you watch one of these vids, you've watched them all. And yet, i literally still watched them all. Must be some subliminal mind control going on...
There used to be a cobbler in the city when I was a kid. A lost art.
@Tim Podhorn I don't buy them anymore either.my union used to get us discounts on them but no more.they are largely made in China now. Sad.
@Penda I will look into those brands. Thanks for the heads up
Peach?
@@sgt.hollowpoint6968 I love peach cobbler!
Don't be too hard on Redwing, there are different "lines" for different price points. They still make the really good ones right here in the good ole USA. In fact, Redwing MN (a plant in Missouri too). All the Irish Setter line are are imports. According to another site, 25% of their boots are entirely US made and sourced with another 18% made in USA from domestic and import components. There are different soles available for the same boot for different purposes. The softer more "cushy" soles aren't going to last long on concrete (don't ask how I know that one..), the version meant for harder surfaces last a long time.. Obviously your mileage may vary.
Brian the Bootmaker, great video and great work! One thing, you need to put some info in the header so folks know how to find your shop! You do very high quality work.
This put a big ole cheezy smile on my face. The transformation is stunning. Rock on man!
OUTSTANDING BROTHER!! keep working the old way it's priceless!
I restore antique beds and produce my own designs ..... local hard wood, oil and natural wax ..... NO polyurethane or plywood.
Even better than the original, they're already broken in.
The original sole puts me of buying these boots. But with the new sole they look way better! Maybe i should buy a pair and send them to you for a resole. Great job man!
Edge Adventure the sole isn’t for looks it’s for safety on smooth surfaces. If your not on rebar, concrete, ibeam, or need a noscuff boot then don’t buy it.
This is my first video to watch of yours. I enjoyed it very much. I know nothing about boots other than slippin a pair on. I'm glad to see their are folks that still repair a good pair of boots in this throw away world we are livin in now. Keep up the good work bud!!!
Shoemakers are a cut above with craftsmanship and quality of work in what they do.
missed the part where you stitched the new welt on the boot
I had to watch a few times over that section to make sure I didn't miss it but it was never there.
5:50 ish
@@Paiadakine thanks!!
Pay Way, the welt is the part you see him removing starting at 2:18. 5:50 shows him stitching the sole to the welt, but the video doesn't show installing the new welt. Either way, it was a good video.
How much does a sole like that cost to have done?
Such a joy to watch someone learned in their craft that actually enjoys it!!!!! Thank you for the video! Videos touch people in some really unforeseen ways, I had a pair of those exact same safety glasses that belonged to my grandfather! And seeing the glue made me smell Barge cement, so cool, thank you again!!!
Peace out, Jim!!!!!
I am so impressed, within 2 minutes made this comment, he's so young to have this kind of passion and care for things are old to restore and the level of skills are very commendable.
My kind of video. Gets right to it with a minimum of BS,
