- I don’t recommend paying for the service I did to these boots simply because is not worth paying for the upgrade it’d cost you guys way more than the boots.
I did it (because I did it) 😅
Thanks for watching!!!!
Your workmanship is top-notch. Amazing upgrade! Understandably, the labor is very intensive, but it's a do-it-yourself project on your own personal boots. The regular consumer should just try on the new boots and make sure they like the fit. Thank you for doing this video. It shows me how the boots are made. I ordered the Hero and it's coming soon. Salut.
Your boot videos are the most informative of all the ones I have watched.
Keep up the excellent work.

That tongue keeper is a must on these boots, nice addition!
Aaron, Yo creo que son las botas más chulas que has restaurado, yo soy un mexicano, fanático de Thursday boots, tengo 4 pares diferentes y estás me han encantado están chulisimas
Wow they look so much better after the work done to them.
Smoking hot upgrade on those Thursdays. Waaaaay better than originals.
Quedaron chingonas las cuales cambian mucho las suelas,buena combinación ,pero lo verdaderamente chido,es cuando eres el maestro zapatero todo queda como tu lo deseas , original y único, saludos carnal y que todo vaya bien 👌👍
Así es mi buen kike
Nadie tiene el mismo par que yo 😅😅😅
Saludos 😊
love your work, mate. Great job.
Much appreciated!
Fantastic job really made them an upgraded boot.
¡Otra obra maestra! 😘👌🏻
Las has combertido de un par de $200's U.S. Dollars a un par de €600 + Euros.
De verdad eres un gran Maestro del arte del calzado.
P.D. Me has leído la mente al cortar la tira de tela para jalar las botas.
Bravissimo Maestro!
💯🐐👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂💪🏻👊🏻
Tal vez no de $600 pero definitivamente si más que lo que cuestan las botas 😅
Saludos matador
You never tried them on!! Do they fit better now? I like the way they look now - great work, as always, Aaron!!
he can measure the thickness of the new layers vs. the old foam ones and all that [subtract some for squish?]
OK, I guess he didn't. Do all that work just for a vid maybe?
@@Highland_Paddy the whole reason for the re-craft was due to the tight fit. Seemed like a no-brainer that the video should have ended with him trying them on to confirm his work solved the issue. I saw others with a similar comment.
Yes, that would have been a nice touch, and supposedly leather stretches a little with wear, BUT as a professional tradesman, I would have liked to see more forethought as to what the end result would be BEFORE pulling off the outsoles and HOPING...... I mean, if he doesn't know how they will fit HIM, what chance do I have if I bring in some boots? One size fits most is OK when I buy them for 200 bucks, but not if I'm shelling out a bunch extra. [Also I made the first comment before the vid ended, but since he's at work, I guess he can't change his shoes before he goes on to the next pair....]
Hey,my bad I totally forgot to show you guys that Part.
I wasn’t trying anything, I new they would fit me good after the Re-craft
I will actually make a second part and tell you guys the whole story behind these boots and let you know why I actually have 2 pairs of the same boots.
Thank you for watching!!
Great video. I have an old pair of Boots from my Military Mountaineering days that could use some work.
Dang, but those came out looking awfully good! I have a pair of Heros and I like them, but sure wish they were like yours! 😊
Nice work on those boots. Pls what is the length of the foot bed. Kindly share. Thank you
Very good video
Poque no telas pusiste para mirar como te quedaron. Good job bro.
Elevaste el nivel de esas botas, excelente trabajo!
Por lo menos de la fundación, si 😅
Gracias!!
Beautiful!!!
Absolutely beautiful. You're a true master craftsman
righteous business as usual question I had my did you not do a split insole and opted to glue the gemming
CDMX. Saludos Aaron. En esa marca de botas pasa lo mismo bienes reducidas . Te quedaron bien
Gracias compita!!!
You're an artist brother.
🙏🙏
Looks great! I wonder how the Dr sole wedges compare for longevity against vibram.
They’re almost the same ! Not a big difference
@@AaronG2480 good to know, I have some of the green cord soles and they are awesome. Surprisingly very slip resistant and hard wearing so far.
Interesting. The foam on top of the cardboard on my Diplomat (moc toe) is so thin, it may as well not even be there at all. This Hero has way more foam and insole. Still decent comfortable and supportive but not “sneaker-like” how some Thursdays are described. I could see the Hero with all this foam feeling more like a tennis shoe haha
The Diplomat boots were very disappointing overall in fit, but most of their boots run small, so I'm surprised you went down half size for this. BUT I'd be curious to see what you think of the new Challenger model and if you could approximate any of THAT arch support in a rebuild.
subtitles STOPPED working when ye skipped t' Spanish now
Pretty sure I heard CORK = NO BUENO
I'm neigh sure all wedge soles come w' shank, so that's a plus?
Yeah, I don't like those pull tabs, either. Especially not cheap when the rest is leather. Adding the lace holders is nice touch since not gusset, etc.
saving the kevlar laces for something else?
You did an awesome job. Those are some beautiful boots now and they look to be comfortable. I’m going to try to replace the welts and the soles on a pair of shoes. I have. I have a question. Please answer it for me. I can’t get anyone else to give me any information, what size and type thread did you use to sew the wilt on and what size and type thread did you use to sew the soul on with thank you very much and you did beautiful work
Great Job!!
Perfect !
Excellent work, 💯 did they fit better?
Thanks,
They fit way better
I’m a tell you guys the whole story about these boots I actually have 2 pairs of the same , stay tune
Thanks for watching!!
I don't normally like wedge soles, but these Dr. Soles were a great replacement. Do they fit better now?
Yes they do 🍻
Bien hecho aron
👋👊
Que chulada amigo Aaron pero prefiero la suela de goma ✌🏽
Salu2 Aaron. Aunque son tus botas, estaría bien que para los trabajos a tus clientes, te hicieras un logo sencillo e imprimirlo dentro de las botas. Y si quedaron mucho mejor que de agencia como decimos,ja ja ja.
Fantastico!
i'll take a pair! look better now, where are you located?
Te quedaron chidas Aaron
@@benjaminguillen9643 🙏👊
Amazing.
How much would a resole like this cost?
En cuanto andan ya así con la suela negra?
Those look great!
Have you thought about trying a pair of the Jim Green boots? I got a pair of their 8 inch ranger boots and loved that they have a wide toe-box.
Thanks 🙏
Honestly I don’t like those boots At all, I’ve seen them and I actually worked on a pair before.
Cheers
@@AaronG2480 if you don’t mind me asking, what didn’t you like about them?
@omercarrothers7537 I don’t like the shape, they’re also to wide for me, and the leather tend to stretch out a lot.
Thanks for deconstructing the boots and showing us what inside looks like. Now we can decide for ourselves if we want insoles made with foam, paperboard, and cardboard. This shows everyone that these are the level of quality that you get at Wal-Mart.
While not the greatest quality in the world, Thursdays are far, FAR better than anything you can get at a big box store.
¿Qué suela es esa? La que retiras, me refiero. Te han quedado estupendas.
@@JordiMonCompanys es la suela de la compañía, le llaman storm king básicamente es un lug sole
De goma o hule
Gracias!!
Is that sole slip resistant?
The reason I havent and wont buy Thursdays is because theyre too narrow, you actually made a 100000% better upgrade
The master
🙏🙏 I’m just trying my best and having fun at the same time!
Hey Aaron. Nice work. Question : On your Thursday Diplomat Boots, did they have the same foot-bed as these new Boots you reconstructed? And what was the difference after you changed everything out on these New Black Boots? I'm asking because I been Thinking about purchasing a pair of Diplomat Boots and wanted your opinion on what I should expect if I choose to purchase them? Gracias🙏🏽 ...
those diplomat boots run SUPER narrow and I find that when they say go down half size in the other models, I usually must go true to size or even half UP. They are still going to have foam footbed instead of leather, and I don't know if they will have a shank BUT if you're going with a more "cushion" wedge sole, I don't know if that would be the thing that bothers you as much. But, for a hundred bucks more could also try a pair of Red Wing wedge sole with the leather and compare, but then they have that giant toe, etc.
Thanks Roberto,
All of their $200 dollars boots have this type of footbed including the diplomats, you can go half a size up and that could solve the problem but I’m between sizes on them.
As for the fit,after the Re-craft they fell way better now that they don’t have the same foot bed,
They are ok for $200
I just don’t want to buy the anymore.
Just my personal experience/Preference
BTW they just came up with a new stitch-Down line and some of them have a leather footbed, but again I’m done with Thursdays.
Cheers!!
🤙🔝
hola aaaron tu que estas en ese medio podrias recomendarme algo para el dolor de pansa..... derrepente siento espasmos en el area del ombligo.
Pues ve al doctor compadre !!😂😂
Un labativa 🍆
@@AaronG2480 RESPETA AARON NO SOY TU COMPADRE.. NO ERES NI DE MI FAMILIA.. UCA UCA
Nice job but i would never buy those soles as i walk over on my heels badly and i would have to change the whole thing
I have size 10 Iron Rangers and Blacksmiths, and my size 11 Thursday Captains fit a little tight. I don't really like the padded foot bed.
I have a 9.5 Chippewas that were unbearable with the moulded footed and perfect without.
Can you re-last a pair of boots for me?
Yes and no
It depends on the specific boot you have
Every boot requires a specific last.
AARON WHY DID YOY REPLACE THE WELT ?😂😂😂
😳
Nice work but $350 - 400 for work you do on a pair of $200 boots I don't know just buy Grant Stones
They still have a foam footbed, not leather. And their sizing is a bit narrow IMO, too.
He says in the description that it wouldn't be worth it.
That wasn’t the point, I already have GS boots.
But you’re right is not worth it, I did it
( because I did it 😅)
I wrote that in the description.
Cheers!
@@wheelsupbardownthanks for reading the description 😅😅
Cheers!!
See their new higher end Challenger boots? heh....
@@cowcrapper I’ve seen them
They’re Just not for me, I’m not a big fan of lug soles
And I don’t like their edge finish, it’s to rustic.
They look better. At least you put a midsole on them. I think putting a wedge sole on a welted boot with no midsole is just stupid and pointless.
What’s the price for a job like this?
There’s always that catch in these “low cost” boots. No offense to anyone or trying to talk bad about ppl’s business, truly no hate.
Simple but quality upgrade for sure. Personally, I don’t like those new soles.
How to turn a $200 👢 into a $450 boot.
(Easier to buy a pair of Truman boots)
Tremendo trabajo hermano!
