Sheet cork is less expensive but offers consistent density. There will be no cork hotspots from the application or wear. I prefer sheet cork. Hot cork takes less time to apply, will change in density after a lot of wear, requires more skill labour and is more expensive.
I'm glad you replaced the shank! On the original Perry boots with the "White's" sole, the shank was molded into the outsole (same as Danners). I hope my Perrys do not need a rewelt when the time comes for a resole. 🙏
Sweet that UA-cam got something right and suggested your video; was looking for a cobber since the couple places I've used years ago have closed. Good to know a somewhat local cobbler when the time comes for a resole.
I think you made the right point on all heeled boots needing a shank. I always wondered why Red Wing didn't use a shank with the Merchants? I always wanted a pair in Ebony Harness but given the lack of a shank, I never could quite bring myself to purchase a pair.
I believe the mindset with the merchants was a refined, less hard work oriented boot ( A merchant), for someone who is not climbing ladders. You can often times dig into the history of the different models in the heritage line and find what they where originally marketed as way back in the day. I believe their "Sheldon" boots also do not come with a shank as they're of a fancier variety too.
Muchas gracias por el saludo, gran trabajo como siempre, un dia de estos te mando un email con fotos de mis 1907s que despues de un año de uso van a necesitar un re-sole 👍
I thought he was saying I use “$hit cork” every time he was referring to “sheet corq”. I couldn't understand why he was bragging about that. But it was just my poor English and his accent. My bad. Haha.
Whites run a little different because of the hight arch at least all the ones I have I wear 12 d in all other boots but 11 in whites or Wesco I own 6 pair of whites 3 different styles and 1 pair of job masters in Wesco hand made boots size a little different
Gracias bro, la calidad de materiales es de primera, sin embargo no me gusto el estilo, estaba de echo apunto de comprar un par de estas pero después de ver cómo se hacen de anchas cambie de opinión! Saludos!
I saw a video with Brian the Bootmaker on Role Club used Oxy-clean, scrubbed it with a toothbrush and used a spoon as a scraper to remove the mixture, then wiped down with a cloth. They didn't get brand new spotless but pretty damn good; somewhat if you used an edge dressing on leather.
I think ive seen before where the front of a wedge sole is sewn all the way through to keep it adhering to the midsole. Im wondering if this is something worth doing to prevent the sole from coming apart as you often see happen on these wedge sole boots. Or would it be too difficult to get a stitch through all of that, or just an unnecessary step.
These boots are right in the same price catagory as the 877's from red wing. From your brief period of time handling them, do they seem like they are of similar quality? From what I know, the only difference is the styling.
Yes they’re almost the same , these run big and wider I wanted to buy me a pair but after I saw these I decided no to buy them anymore. Just my opinion
Gracias Luis, la verdad yo acá aprendí el oficio y no conosco muchas marcas de aya hay unas botas que están haciendo un poco de ruido (Arador) debería checarlas saludos!

Great explanation regarding the types of cork.

Oh I never knew that about the merchants that's such a strange exclusion.

If I ever decide to send my Doc Martens across the Atlantic for a professional English resole they'll be getting a shank!
Well since you covered the cork and shank I'll ask about the why you didn't reuse the welt lol.
Great job once again!
🤔😅
Превосходно …

Excelente resole, Aarón! Qué buenas botas! Qué opinas de las moc toe de Whites? Saludos y el mejor de los éxitos! 🔨🔨⚡⚡

What glue do you use? I make leather goods and use barge cement or Rainier 315 but that looks different.
It is barge Timothy!
How do you clean the sides of a "Christy" sole or one like it? Great work Aaron!
Thanks, trust me there’s no way to keep the soles clean!!😅

After you worked on them you decided you didn’t want to buy them?
Does the leather change the feel of the boot verses the cork? Seems the cork would be softer but break down after a while…
No it doesn’t!
How do send you my boots to get resoled?
Was the original welt leather? Thank you!
Yes it was
