How To Repair and Clean Your Timberland Boots - Timberland Boots are notoriously difficult to clean and even harder to repair because of the Nubuck leather. In this video we got a pair of worn out Premium Timberland 6" to test some of the ways we found of reddit to "Clean and Repair Timberland Boots". ASMR gives us a good excuse to try this style of video because asmr videos are our way of trying new styles of videos and boot care techniques. Timberland ASMR Repair

Fun fact: dish soap is also useful for most stains. It's strong and binds to grease and dirt while without leaving residue, it's water soluble and it's gentle enough to use on silk.
I've saved many garments from stains using dish soap, including a wedding dress!
Thanks for the tip
I was wandering if it would work cause i life in north Africa and I'm not about to spend the money to order sued shampoo from Europe and not 5mn passes and i come across your comment. Thank you for erasing my doubt 🙏😊
In my opinion, the boots looked pretty good after the sanding, then he used that leather rougher and just undid all the progress. I looks like cheap suede in my opinion now
absolute
10,000%
I was shocked when he roughed that leather.
Yeah… I like suede but these just aren’t it.
I agree 💯
Am I the only one waiting for Weston's review of the Clomps Sandals from a couple weeks back?
Still haven’t got a notification of shipment
@@catracho135 😅😅😅
If you use dish soap, the Timberlands lose their waterproofing, been there done that. Best is to use a bit saddle soap, sand them with 180 sandpaper and cover them with a thin layer of mink oil. And wear them with proud, as old Timba’s are like old Red Wings, the more they are damaged the nicer they are 😀
No, they obviously, don't
Just found this video, omg so soothing. Love how the whole video has silence and original sounds. It also helps following the steps of work. Thanks for this video :)
This is very satisfying
I usually just throw them out and buy a new premium pair, but I do have a pair of vintage timbs from the 90s that I want to restore.
Check out Vetiver's timberland restoration. He used leather glue-filler with and nubuck from sanding down the leather..
Shit went from a pair of constructs to a teddy bear 🧸 lol
Great job the boots look good.
I have a pair of these boots one of my favorites
you used the sandpaper in the wrong order, youre supposed to use the lower number (larger pieces, more scratchy/gritty first) then the higher number (finer particles, more particles per area) second, not the other way around.
Hi, do u have any tips to removing mildew spots on timberland? Really need some help here. Thanks.
The amount of leather on the table is bigger than what whole boots contain 😂
Hey have you ever seen twisted x? I made the switch to them for work boots they are affordably priced comfortable from day one and it's an american company based in texas
Why not sand again at the end to even out?
Thanks man !
so, you tried to hide scratches, but, scratching the whole boot? LOOOOOOL
Have you ever put back together shoes you cutter in half?
Cool, I absolutely will never buy a leather rougher via Weaver.
I had been looking for someone in that type of employment and I was not able to find anyone.
I don't think taking a wirebrush to a gun, or leather, constitutes "repair" unless you repolish it after for the leather.
You know the big dummy wearing these for construction was from NY trying to flex on his homies
Oh absolutely
Nice job but by the time you purchase all the equipment you could have bought a brand new pair of Timberlands.
Im here to find out to fucking remove oil stain in my boots. Just wore it once and so pissed off to get stained. Tried the suede shampoo and didnt work. Bought the eraser thing for suedes and didnt work.
Same. Im about to try dawn soap and water and see how that works
Somebody actually worked in those??? Wtf??? They have no padding, not toe protection
Lmao clean up is buns
What the actual hell. Every method looks horrible. Might as well have left them the way they were and thrown them in the washing machine
What the heck is asmer and why isn't he saying anything in this video? When will my 2x4 sandals be here by the way?
Garbage toss
Mas Ficou Horrível!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
murderer
looks worse
How are these boots a fashion statement? Look like a laborer wearing these. Smdh
What the hell is wrong with looking like a laborer? Some of us do because we are indeed laborers.
used to do the sanding on my first pair of these timberlands over 20 years ago. used to use around 180 or 220 grit sandpaper which worked perfect and gave that factory finish. Just decided one day to give it a go myself and it worked perfect. 80 grit is just way too abrasive and 1200 is too fine. somewhere around the 200 mark from memory was perfect for replicating a factory finish like new then just a spray with a good neubuck protectant spray and they looked box fresh again. Still have that same pair of boots too to this day. say what you like about timberland boots, but the original six inch shown here, are what they built their reputation on and some of the best daily boots I've ever had (not talking about construction use here, just general day to day, all day wear in normal conditions).
Im clumsy and tripped on a curb with my brand new black Timbs on. The right Timb has a small scuff mark in front now which is annoying so I’m gonna get some 180 grit sandpaper from Amazon to see if I can fix it.
@@glitchyfolks did it work?
Gonna be a ton of elitist hipsters in the comments saying to toss them out and go buy some $300-$500 boots instead. I know some lower income workers that would love to give their $100 Timbs a bit of a refresh instead. I like these videos.
Learn definition of elitist.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW Is boot snob moron a better word than elitist in that comment? There is literally a guy maybe 8 comments down saying to throw out the boots and buy red wings instead. He is talking about "THAT".
@@mad0uche when they are in that bad of a condition, they have served their purpose. If you've worked that hard in those boots, you should've made enough money working in those boots to get yourself a new pair. If not, then it's time to find yourself a better paying job.
@@I_WANT_MY_SLAW What are you ranting about? They're not even in bad condition, the soles have tread and they're just scratched. There is one cut on the boot through 2 stitch rows.
@@mad0uche just get a new pair.
Wtf dude you destroyed these
I wonder if you went back through and sanded it after roughing it if it would look more like nubuck instead of suede
Sanding wouldn't work to smooth that back out. Once that top layer is roughed off, that's it. You can however slick the nap back down with some wax or cream polish, but it wouldn't really be nubuck anymore. But hitting them with otterwax or snowseal would have been my final step in this process.
I still have a pair from 1998! And they are still in good conditions just little dirty. The quality of timb boots were much better back then
I don't really like the rough leather look, but I think there is something to using that brush to fade in the damaged nubuck.
imo the after looks worse than the before!
I would be interested if you did a series on combat boots
Same. I would love to see RA compare Bates, Belleville and Rothco and split them open.
Dude you destroyed the boot...
I would have been comfortable with the boots after the sanding. Little knicks and dings is a sign a boot has been loved and adds to the charm in my opinion.
You can smooth the nap back down with waxes or polish. Otterwax or snowseal would have been my last step in this one. Both to smooth the leather back out a little, and to protect the newly exposed grain from water. A wire brush might have also been effective instead of the rougher. As for the suede kit, the absolute best suede/nubuck eraser is Woly Suede Gum eraser. It works a million times better than the white cheap suede erasers (I have both). The Woly also works on all leathers to remove spots, suede/nubuck/smooth.
Don't understand why leather conditioner and a stain wasn't used? Along with some very fine grit sandpaper (220+) for the rough areas at the beginning. Could have had those boots looking like new. As they are they look like they've been scuffed up wayyy too much
I was thinking that as well. I still don't understand why they went from 120 to 80.
Leather conditioner wasn't used because this isn't leather, this is nubuck, which is the reason timberlands are garbage - the leather doesn't behave like normal leather and it can't be cleaned and conditioned like a high quality 7-8oz leather.
Leather conditioner is only good for smooth leather (top grain), not nubuk or suede
That leather rougher was a NO GO. Dude, if you want Timbs to not look like Timbs have at ‘er, but otherwise stick to sandpaper. Jeez.
seems to me u just ruined some timbs!… all the scruffing, roughing and sanding hurt my heart!… they were pretty rough to begin with, but u removed and agitated so much material, it just didn’t seem right to treat Timbs that way… I’ll just buy another pair before doing all of that…
I feel like removing this much material to make them prettier goes against the very reason I like to wear boots.
Thanks for the video. I'll wear my scuffs and scratches with even more pride, if that's what it takes to make them pretty.
You freakin ruined em! Wes!
Honestly they looked way worse after all that. I'd just clean and leave its at that
Amazing how some brute sticktoitniveness can transform worn out to comfortably broken in looking! Thanks. I try to preserve my footware. Your channel is inspiring.
I'll never understand why you use those type of brushes. They're extremely tough and will only scratch the shoe even more
That rougher killed a damn good job. How the heck does this dude think that rougher helped? It was waaaay better before he did that. SMH
Wow. timberland kit does nothing. Fixed the boots with the sanding paper. Then that rougher ruined them
This strange roughening brush didn't convince at all, imho.
Can you open a pair of Caterpillar boots like the Holton or Colorado or Second shift? They have welted soles, they are made by Wolverine and they are incredibly cheap, Like 50 or 60 dollars! I am wearing a pair of Holton after my Timberland got finally destroyed after many years and I can say these Caterpillar are really comfortable and look very well made for the price.
The old Timberlands from the 80’s lasted,,,these new ones? Forget it! You just tap brush the boot against anything abrasive and they shred. Junk
Wonder why you went from 1200 grit straight to 80. Seems like 150 or 220 would be better
Timbs for construction? They must hate their feet to do that to themselves
To be fair it looks like someone wore them for a week on the job and said nah.
I didn't realize some people work in what are technically work boots, lol.
Also, do note that the presenter did acknowledge that those more aggressive methods do essentially ruin the boots durability. This, to me, came off as an experiment.
That’s why they got popular. :D Before, no one was that much interested in Caterpilar or Timberland, bcs it looked clumpsy and workers used them. Eventually ppl figured that those boots are the best quality, and they became mainstream fashion :) PS Fun fact, “CAT” or full name Caterpillar is actually heavy machinery manufacturer that also makes working shoes. :)
Idk about that roughing leather method. Its like lets damage it more to hide the existing damages.
When you don't plan to use the boots in a tougher environment than tennis shoes, I guess it doesn't matter.
Honestly the fashion boot stuff is kind of annoying, only because it's like watching "as seen on tv" products on tv: cheaply made overpriced bullshit that people who'll never use it like to buy.
I think they were better before... You just ruined them
Man it's like you never heard of Krylon
JK 😂 I'm not spray painting my boots
I just put conditioner with sponge for nubac and brush them regularly after every use with sharper brush. From time to time i use silicone ribb brush to even up the texture. I also put cheep shoe trees in to dry them up in shape after use. They got nice patina look over last 14 years. Laces went off in first year. I got lether ones that go with the uper part and i love them still
I would add one step at the end. It will change the final look but it will make them last longer. I would have used finer grain sand paper and at the end I would use grease to cover the leather. Then I would polish them using a cloth. I have applied this treatment to a pair of boots I own and I have already used them for longer than 8 years.
Rather than a "leather-rougher", couldn't you a have just used a suede-brush, (with mix of plastic and brass bristles) LOOK IT UP!
These boots were probably trashed on the job in about 12 weeks. Construction is super hard on any boot.
Judging from the wear on the soles I’d say that’s the case,I had my timberlands for around 8 years and the sole is almost done (which also made me notice I walk weird and prompted me to get my posture checked,as the sole was way more consumed on the exterior of the heel)
One thing I've noticed, is a lot of guys are super unnecessarily hard on their footwear: whether it's dragging feet or stepping heavy like you're goose-stepping, using the boots inappropriately to kick things, and letting their boots take the damage when under any other circumstance they'd have moved their foot out of the way.
I've done various hard labor jobs over the years, and my stuff lasts, I like to think because I don't treat my gear like absolute shit.
Also I just realized,this person used TIMBERLANDS on a construction site?!
Don’t you have safety regulations regarding PPE in the us? I know that if I showed up at work or in a construction site here in Italy in Timberlands and not steel toed shoes they wouldn’t even let me take a step inside.
Bro ruined the shoes at the end😭😭
All the comments about destroying the boot 😂. They were already destroyed, he was just making them presentable again not brand new, besides timberlands were made to get soaked and scuffed, people just made them into a fashion lol. Idiots, they are "work" boots not runway boots😂
Подытожим - Можно ли сделать из говна конфетку? Можно, только конфетка будет из говна 😂
I'm wondering if you would do a made in Canada show
If you would have used the sanding sequence 80, to 150, 220 those boots would have had a smooth finish.
Here's a tip. Clean them with dawn, let them air dry and not in the sun. Then rub a nice layer of vaseline on them. Not overly saturated, but enough to know it's there. Again let air dry for 2-3 days then enjoy.
I wonder if after roughing them .....sanding them with 240 then 600 grit would have smouth the surface and making them look better
Not this is ASMR, more like you doing a video without your interesting comments and thoughts.... 🤔
I have green timberlands.
But mine got black after washing it and rinse off it the same way?
How do i fix this?
I'm blind. Could you point me to any verbal or written instructions on how to do this? Great video for ASMR though.
What about oiling??
Stick in dirt almost to the ankle in light pink Timbs; after cleaning they got way more light, but noubuck is still awesome 💟
Why did you start at 1200!? Then jump to 80!? Lol maybe 120? Then move up or down for desired finish.
Looks like shit, just clean it with soap and water. You can't fix nubuck. For a boot as cheap as Timberlands, it's not worth fixing.
Hello
Mes timberlandboots sont devenues blanches....et on perdu leur couleur d'origine
En frottant avec la brosse dans le test 3 ça cas redonner de la couleur ????j'ai des doutes
looks 1000 percent better
That roughed up leather looked trash. Technically you can still wear it and get some more life out of it but it’s a terrible look.
I have to agree with most in the comments. The leather rougher stage was brutal to watch. I'd leave them at a light sanding, and actually would use a more fine grit and leave it there
man you ruined them
Those boots are brand new, theres no wear on the tread, they’ve just been on a building site for a week 🤷🏼♂️
Timberlands are heavy, unrepairable, injection molded, Chinese junk.
Dish detergent is the worst to use. You never get it all out, and the remaining detergent will break down any oils or waxes you use to nourish the leather.
If you do this and go work construction please expect to be laughed at.
Your not supposed to use and paper bruh just a soft bristle brush soap and water and something to stuff the shoe wit
Timberland are not even steel toe and is not safe for construction site use. *shakes head*
Yeah after watching this video I've decided to just buy a new pair
Do not buy these boots if your a landscaper won’t last longer than 6 months
Sand paper works great! I've used 250 grit on black timbs. Thank you!
That was one helluva jump from 1200 to 80 grit wet and dry.
Anyone here used leather boots from Canadian brand Woodland?
They where never ment to look pretty (NY state of mind)
Do you think you could tear down Irish setter moc toes
