In this video, we give this pair of Justin cowboy boots a makeover. These boots were completely worn out and destined for the trash. We decided to do whatever we could to refurbish them, and that's what we did. With new JR leather soles, some Saphir conditioner and Pommadier cream added to the uppers, this pair ended up looking...new!

These are my dads boots, he originally bought them around 2006 as a dress boot and then started wearing them for every day use. He works as a machinist and wore them for several years. His intention was to just throw them away instead of repairing them because they were cheap, but I held onto them when he threw them out…
a lot of people suggested that it’s from a motorcycle but surprisingly he’s not a motorcycle rider. My guess is that they got a lot of miles on them from walking on the shop floor
You guys did an amazing job on these thank you so much. In the future the boots will be in your shop for regular maintenance to avoid this…..
I was thinking he rode a motorcycle and always put his left foot down, as the right shoe sole wasn't worn nearly as badly, but you would definitely know. I wonder if he worked some sort of pedal with his left foot? When my father died in 1983, I kept and wore one of his pair of dress shoes for many years. Too bad there was no internet and Trenton & Heath back then, or I'd have sent them in to make them like new again. Great job on the restoration, guys.
What did your dad think of the repair?
@@chrishebert5672 I bet it could have been a machine like a lathe with a pedal that caused the wear so intensely. My other guess is the clutch pedal on the manual vehicles we had but I’m not sure that’d be aggressive enough to cause the wear..
I know he replaced them instead of repairing them because of how bad they were and I kept them because I thought they were cool…. After the hard work of the guys my dad is amazed at how the boots turned out and will wear them as a dress boot im sure
@@thedoor5442 My dad is really shocked and amazed at how they came out. It is crazy to see the difference. Trenton and heath did some great work on these. I’m sure they will become his favorite pair of boots again, this time receiving some care..
They did an amazing job. The uppers looked a lot better quality than the insole, sole, and heel so with the much higher quality of those parts, those boots should last for a long time to come.
Easy: these boots have been worn by Fred Flintstone, and while commuting to the quarry, he suddenly had to brake very hard😁
I was thinking motorcycle.
Epic!
Fred flinstone didnt wear shoes
😆😆

I have watched a lot of your videos and it still amazes me that y'all can take completely trashed shoes or boots and bring them back to life, awesome job guys.
In these current modern times, I honestly believe true craftsman like yourselves are necessary more than ever to keep the old ways alive. Especially in a throw away culture.
I understand having a favored pair of footwear for work and wanting to keep them alive, but I would have a hard time putting these back into service after getting back such a fine restoration. Great work.
Thank you!
@@TrentonHeath love the channel
Outstanding craftsmanship, you two are shoe/boot magicians!
Thanks! We appreciate it.
That stash is coming along very nicely Heath. 👊
Looks like a trucker wore those boots. Wore out from clutch pedal
Good morning guys. Those boots were definitely in bad shape but those Anderson Bean boots you did last year I think were in even worse shape when they came in . Not to mention the Saint Laurents. You guys are boot MD's. Maybe when you get another flat lined pair of boots in for a video you can do the intro in surgical scrubs getting ready to perform boot surgery.😁Have a relaxing weekend.
The damage looks a little bit like someone pulled flatbed trailer duty, and hung his foot over the side. I'd lean toward motorcycle, though.
Looks like a bull bit that off
WITHIN A MONTH, THOSE BOOTS WILL LOOK THE SAME WAY BEFORE YOU REPAIRED THEM, YES YOU ARE SKILLED IN REPAIRING SHOE'S BUT THE PERSON WEARING THEM DON'T KNOW HOW TO CARE ANYTHING.
I will watch an entire video regardless of length because I really enjoy your work and personalities, great job men.
I watch the whole video. No scrolling through for me. I like the craftsmanship.
Another brilliant job of bringing these boots back gentlemen! Really enjoyed the video! I'm sure they are in much better condition than when they were new! 👏👏
Thank you so much! We appreciate you watching.
@@TrentonHeath love the channel
That hole in the sole was clearly from truck bumper skiing on a gravel road.
My guess is they were wrestling a bull, cow or calk and was be dragged though a grassy field trying to stop it.
Nice resole. And Heath's mustache is a 12 out of 10. The only thing I didn't care for in this video was the reuse of the old heel rand that appeared to be plastic/ rubber I would have rather seen a leather replacement but to each his own. Great job though
@Chris Sperling the heel rand was definitely reused. Not the heel stack or top life rubber the rand
I enjoyed the whole video. Nice transformation! Almost has me wanting a pair of cowboy boots.
How much does a resole like this cost? I was hoping to bring a pair of thursday boot explorers into a cobbler at some point to see if they could change it to EE, since I am always stepping on the storm welt, and I don't know if it would be worth doing something like that, since they cost $250 and something like that could cost more.
This repair costs around $300ish.
If you’re going wider they would just need to stretch them for a while. Shouldn’t be too costly to do.
@@TrentonHeath Thanks for letting me know. 👍
Another great video! You guys do amazing work! Thank you for being so informative throughout the videos. I've learned a lot that I never knew I needed to know.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
I knew he was going to HAVE to snap that glove when he put it on! 😂
The heel block just seemed a little off like a hybrid between a dress shoe and CB boot
your client must really love his shoes for wearing them like this.
He was drunk the night his mama got out of prison. He went to pick her up in the rain, but before he could get to the station in his pickup truck, his brakes went out so through open door his cowboy boot he stuck to stop his truck before get runned over by a dang ole train!! Now he told his old lady he didn't mind hanging around as long as she'd let him, but he did mind, with a big ole hole in his cowboy boot, standing in the rain! The perfect Country & Western cobbler song...
Nice!
Now, this was awesome. The before and after on these boots is just incredible. Replacing as much as you did, but still saving the uppers, was really impressive; you preserved the "showy" part and rebuilt the hard-working part completely. This actually saved these boots when some would have just tossed them and bought a new pair. This was great! Cheers from Texas!
Wear the shoes until they are in that state? shame on me !!
Hot cork out of a piping bag 😂😂 like icing on the cake 😂
😁
I just wanted to thank you for sharing your time consuming videos with us. What a pair of boots. Seems like the owner took his horse for a very long ride, the horse die and he ended up walking home. Great work on you guys part. Like I always say you are second to none.
👆👆👆Congratulations 🎉 I have a package for you
Such a pleasure to see such craftsmanship masterfully done. Keep up the great work and thanks again.
No brakes on the motorcycle 👌
I watch a lot of these boot cleaning/rebuilding channels and one day I realized my Walmart brand dress shoes insole was just beat up. Instead of buying a new insole from Walmart. I decided to use cork, I had a cork board for like pins and stuff. I cut out a foot shape and made it my insole I thought for sure this was silly as that is not where the cork goes. Well, been a couple months, the cheap board molded to my feet and it unironically feels better than the stuff form Walmart. Now it comes with drawbacks, not something I would use in my tennis shoes, lol. But for these flat dress shoes? Yeah!
Nice!
Have you ever had anyone that wants to volunteer at your shop to learn the craft, because they don't work and are bored?? I'm thinking of doing that exact thing because of your videos. Think I learned about most everything, but never have actually done a single thing since being interested. My local Cobbler is 3 blocks away and a really nice guy who does great work!!
Again guy's, nice job!! You never fail to disappoint. 👏🏾😀
For the life of me though, I don't understand why someone would just skip to end of the video to see the final results. For me, the magic is seeing the entire process and witnessing the skill and craftsmanship it takes to produce sure fine work. But that's just me. To each his own. 🤷🏾♀️
✌🏾🙏🏾❤
Wonderful restoration guys! It's just wonderful 🤩
Heath, your moustache has grown beautifully! 😍
Have you ever thiught of making your own boots for sale from scratch ?
Unfortunately, we just don’t have the time.
You guys have great skills. I had a friend , growing up in the 50s whose father was a cobbler. I remember watching him carve the leather for the hidden stitches. He used two knives a lot one was a straight blade , tanto style, he would strop that thing after each use and his other was a 4” straight blade with a 1/4 “ razor sharp hook on the end. I think he used that to cut the stitches very close to the welt. Anyway. I watch every minute of your videos. Thank you
Amazing how people can test the durability and quality of their footwear, good thing that there are knowledgeable cobblers who can bring their favorite footwear back to life.
How often should a person use a moisturizing cream on a newer pair of all leather construction. Outside of laces and the thread, everything else is leather. Forgot to mention the out soles and metal laces.... All the rest is leather. Please let me know how often they should be conditioned. Wear them as dress or casual wear only.
Watched entire vid. Was excellent!! VERY interesting, very good job. Thanks...
Wow! Beautiful! Thanks for the explanation about some of the details about why you made some of the decisions. And it’s also great to see the blind stitching. Blind stitching rocks
Best video idea...... Where does the cork you use come from and what do they do to process the cork into the product you generally use!!
I watch the whole video.... Always... It's better to see the process that to see just the final results... Keep doing the videos in the same format... Thank you... Regards from Costa Rica
Great video guys!! On the next one I’d love to hear your guys thoughts on shank selection in cowboy boots. What material is best for which purpose, good vs poor quality etc.
I am addicted to cobbler videos! Great craftsmanship. I have restored a few things (not shoes) and it is so satisfying to watch the process and people with such skill.
I know the back story... I have had this exact thing happen to me, just not quite so SEVERE. This guy is a truck driver. This is why the boots are extremely well worn but not too dirty. It's also why his clutch foot is all worn out, most old school boot wearing truck drivers all drive "standard" shift trucks and they all wear cowboy boots for some reason. He doesn't do much walking. Maybe a few trips to a rest stop bathroom. Other than that, they are probably comfy for just sitting in your cab driving truck all day, not getting dirty while still wearing out your boots. That's my prediction anyway... 👍
What had happened was, The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
The boy said, "my name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished, Johnny said, "well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"
"Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been"
So anyway, the Devil was wearing these boots, and he went down to Georgia by way of California, and took a wrong turn in Albuquerque.
I have three pairs of great cowboy boots from my father-in law, who died about 15 years ago. But they are about 1-1/2 sizes too big. Is there anything I can do?
The boots are about 11-1/2, I'm a 10, maybe 10-1/2.
Fantastic restoration guys these boots were one of your best restorations I really think you did make them brand new better then brand new...What's your average of how many shoes can you do in a day each of you ???
You talk too much, I am not here to learn how to repair shoes, I am here to see trash turn in to magnificence again, quickly and smoothly.
Hello, please tell me what glue do you use? Which company? Please describe the sequence of actions when gluing. I want to update the soles on my boots myself...)
Backstory? A Rodeo Cowboy running away from angry bulls at every show--until one bull finally managed to puncture the cowboy's boot's sole with its horn. The cowboy didn't die, but word at the Rodeo Arena is that the spectators had never in their life seen a bull crack up and almost die from laughing so hard. 🐂🐃
crazy good job
Thank you!
I am new to the channel, but have seen many of your videos. I can't get enough of them. I have wondered about the tacking also and how it doesn't stab you in the foot. Thank you for the explanation, but could you show what that looks like from the inside. So, after you tack, what does it look like inside?
Fred Flintstone Car Brakes!
Post Scriptum: The Mustache Gotta go Heath!
Then i did had to go back and watch the full video instead of jumping to the end.
Looks like WAR happened. The boots deserve a Purple Heart for bullet wounds. LOL! Just WOW!
I'm British, and I'd much rather watch you work, than watch Great British Bake off 😂
Great video again gentleman, thank you. And stop worrying about the length, the more the better in my opinion 👍
Skateboarder or cyclist perhaps. Great work chaps! I watched ALL the way through! 🇬🇧
Amazed that you turned these around to new! The owner will feel like a million bucks strutting these around!
Hey guys great show, loved meagain losers shoes lol holes must be cool in California do they act as vents ? 😂🏴🇬🇧
Just wear thicker socks and your hood for another 10,000 miles. Nice job. BTW, I never fast forward!
First- I love these videos and the professionalism you both demonstrate. Second - how do you make sure you keep the size right when you have removed so much? Is the natural bend of the side of upper the guide? Sorry if this should be obvious, I’m just not clear. Thank you for all your content.
When applying leather dye, how concerned are you with uneven coating? It seems like it gets a little blotchy where the old color is still present. Does the shoe cream make up for that enough?
I think the red looks good with some variation, but dark brown might not be so forgiving. I've got some nice dark brown boots that I wanna try to fix the toe scuffs, but not sure whether to attempt dye or just start with some shoe cream.
From trash to new, I think I saw a local plastic surgeon with that slogan. As always guys, another entertaining video!
Back in the 1960s, I worked in a shoe repair shop in a nudist colony in New Jersey. I ended up volunteering to serve overseas in the Vietnam conflict. I figured the horrible things I'd see in a dangerous war in the jungle couldn't be much worse than what one sees in a nudist colony in New Jersey. Turns out for the most part, I was pretty much correct.
I’d,like to how much you charge for this, I’ve watched a bunch of your videos and always wonder how much it cost for this kind of quality.
I’ve got a pair of 1977 Addison combat boots. The soles are good but man are they worn. I bought them vintage and I’m not sure if they’re brown or black.
"Trash to New"... I know, you have your names on the channel, but did you ever consider *that* (that is, "Trash to New") as an alternative?
Fantastic job guys, I did watch the whole video, as I am intrigued in the whole process. Question, what boots are worth reconditioning like what you do, and what boots aren't?
That looks like the bottom of my shoe after I slipped while mowing, and my foot ended up under the deck. I had a cut on the ball of my foot, and it could have been so, so much worse. The trail runners got tossed. Wear decent shoes when mowing! Because accidents happen!
too much dancing
I think it was the cowboy version of street surfing. Grab the horses tail, give a "yeehaw" and skid down the gravel road. Giddyup!
So people usually say goodyear welted shoes are better than glued construction, but isn't the gemming just attached via glue as well?
I watch ever not of your videos!!!!! Thanks for working so hard!!!! I am working on wearing out some of my shoes!!! 😜 do you like to work on shoes you have previously worked on?
Ok so whoever wore these is planting on that left foot. Cowboy boots. Im going to say
Rodeo Bulldogger “steer wrestling “
Given how much they were worn so much in one area..and given the specific area... I was thinking.... line-dancing!
Excelente trabajo, con este oficio mi padre mantuvo y dio educación a nuestra familia, los felicito, un saludo cordial desde el fin del mundo ( Chile)
I guarantee a bunch of guys with cowboy boots are thinking: "No wonder my dog loves chewing on my boots. He can smell the freshly made granola ironed into the welt."
I had a pair of dress shoes where the tacks weren't bent over and began stabbing my heels, fortunately I had a friend who was a cobbler and noticed I was limping around and he asked what was wrong and I told him. I didn't have any money but he gave me a pair of sneakers while he worked on my shoes. I was working just around the corner from his shop and he got them fixed after a few days and he sent the manufacturer pictures of my shoes with all the mistakes in them. He found that they didn't even have padding of any kind and no shanks, They paid for the corrective work and sent me a new pair through his shop. This was back when I wore a shirt and tie, with dress shoes and I got some weird looks because I had my dress shirt,tie and sneakers back in 89-90. Now it's the norm.
Looks like someone tried to pull an Indiana Jones move and stop the mine cart with their feet. 😂
Que bello trabajo,de restauracion,son asombrosos, felicitaciones,admiro su trabajo..
Excellent video. I recently located, via thrifting, a great pair of vintage boots that need some major attention. They aren't as rough as the pair in the video, but they definitely need some work. I'm definitely going to reach out to you gentlemen for more information.
Всегда интересовало: как вы ходите по жаре в этих сапогах не снимая их? Запах наверное тот ещё... Не, ковбойский стиль мне нравится, у меня тоже есть подобная обувь со скошенным каблуком. Только это полуботинки чуть выше щиколотки, сапоги для тёплой погоды - это слишком.
Clint Eastwood wore these while filming The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The holes came from the desert crossing in the movie.
Hot dang. Those came out better than my well enough taken care of Abilene boots! That reminds me, it’s conditioning day.
Took a clunky pair of cowboy boots made A PRINCE out of a pauper.👌🤙👍
Come on guys these product shillings denigrate your videos to the extreme.
Are you doing a hair loss prevention video or a Cobbler video? I already got a can of Ronco.
Which one is better, saphir renovateur or saphir universal cream? for calf loafers and black smooth Dr. Martens
What would be a ball park figure for the rebuild i just watched?? Great job guys!!!
I will guess the back-story on these boots. These boots are or were dress boots, used for a daily work boot. The part where you know you have a hole and wear them anyway? No comment. It would contain words my Momma would not like being used.
That’s a stunningly fine job on those boots. Obviously you guys take pride in your craft. 👍🏼
What a cute cobbler couple - definitely can picture you two watching British Baking Show together
Это неправильная реставрация. Правильная была показана в фильме "Харли Дэвидсон и Мальборо": он просто замотал дыру на сапоге скотчем и весь фильм так и ходил. 😃
Lots of motorcyclists don't know how to ride very well and drag their feet along instead of putting them on their pegs. Maybe.
My thought of the story of those boots is He/She Roped and 10,000 pound long horn and while digging the footing it took off dragging the person for 1k miles before they were able to wrestle it into submission😉
So here’s the $64,000,000 question. How much did those bad boys cost.
One has to have upper strength to pull the soles apart.
Are you and your brother making videos for 2023.
Amazing! In my next life I'll be a cobbler. What was that long tube you dropped a nail into and then pounded the inside of the boot??
Nice video, but what I’d like to know is: how much do you charge for a repair like this???
Those were worn by "Boots" for a full season of Dora the Explorer. It's pretty amazing how that many miles will wear on a boot.
