This pair of Anderson Bean cowboy boots was mailed to us for a complete resole. When this gentleman sent us the pictures of his boots, we knew we had to do a video for you. These were quite possibly one of the worst pairs of boots we've ever received, and we knew we had to video them! Sure, the owner could have bought a new pair for the price of this resole, but then again, you all would have missed out on this crazy restoration job. :) Hope you all enjoyed! Time for another shoe or boot restoration.

World needs good cobblers and less disposable footwear.
Agreed!
I agree entirely! I’m tired of buying tennis shoes and they wear out in a few months vs my Ariats that are still going strong after 7 years of use... I know both are factory made, but good quality is unbeatable in my book, it should be function over form and if they don’t function for long then what good were they?
@@makinwaves8147 Agreed. Personally I don't mind factory-made, it's the non-resoleable/disposable part that bugs me most.
@@HipposHateWater indeed!
@Carl Alfred No. Nobody cares.
eBay listing: "light wear on sole. Still tons of life left. No offers. I know what I have."
Cough cough gen 2 Cummins with 500k+ miles and severe body rust
Just ran into a beat up pair of Edward Green Shoes, dude wants $500. Needs a complete resole and a lot of other work.
@@jlozano2014 - J, Liar, LIAR Pants on FIRE! $ell ya ANYthing! LoL 😂
@@appalachiashellfighter2269 that'll be 15k
Seriously though, these guys never stay in their comfort zone. Any new challenges that come in, they straight take it, and that's what makes me enjoy their videos even more. Great video as always gentlemen, cheers from Thailand!
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying them. We appreciate you watching from over in Thailand! Very cool!
Watching you guys work is therapeutic.
We would love to see a special about your tools, how you acquired them, and what all they do. I am sure many are antiques, and probably some not made any longer.
It’s definitely on our list.
This cobbles equipment Las decades. But are common. In all shops. They are some others you tubers. Like "brian the bookmaker" and. In country like Spain that are srill many cobblers inclusive person resolve their regular or daily sneaker 2 0r 3 times
It's a testament to your craftsmanship that those boots could be saved at all. Great job!
You guys inspired me to start cleaning and conditioning shoes. Also the Goodwill or advice in that video was priceless and I was able to find a pair of Allen Edmonds for around $15. I am currently looking through their re-craftsman program. You guys are truly an inspiration
That’s awesome! Great find!
you might have outbid me on those AE shoes. LOL
@@TrentonHeath how much do you guy's charge to change the toe box on some boots and do you guys have a phone number! THK you
"I paid for the whole boot, I'm gonna use the whole boot"
Lol 😂
This genuinely made me laugh out loud!
HE SHOULD HAVE PERFORMED HEEL WALKING AFTER GETTING TO THAT STAGE
Man this is fake can't you see that? They made the sole this way.
@@hermanstokbrood this isn't fake.
I'm a cobbler myself and i have seen people bring shoe's with holes in it i could put a few finger's tru.
I love seeing these videos on Saturday morning. Feels like it did when you woke up to watch cartoons on Saturday morning. 😂
Haha...those were good times! I loved Saturday morning cartoons! That’s an honor to be compared to that. 😉👍
Yes. I feel you on that!!!
I didn't think of that, but it does now that you mention it!!😊
Thank goodness it's not just me!
Josie and the Pussycats!
This is so awesome. These boots are made in my hometown so it's awesome to see somebody else work on them and appreciate them.
You two are talented and very entertaining. I watch your videos when I need to unwind from work and just relax. This restoration was great, keep them coming.
Thank you so much for watching!
Would be nice to see the customers reaction when they pick up the shoe and try them on.
Also some insight on how they got into the state that we see them here!
I would love to see customer reactions when they open up their package or pick up their new shoes.
its such a blessing when UA-camrs actually narrate the process on these restoration videos. It shows they care about their craft as opposed to just caring about view count.
I love the sound of that leather cutter.
My father was a shoe repairman for nearly 50 years. These repairs bring back alot of memories...
Them's his lucky steer wrestling boots...
Could not have said better. I wonder if he's going to get them back.
There is always a dance after the rodeo too.
@thriza peevey I wonder how many steers that guy had to wrestle for his boots to get that bad must have one bad steer lol
More like his skid steer wrestling boots
Y'all got me tryin to snicker quietly to not wake up the hubby.
What a pain staking job this was. Kudos to you guys, reconstructing a hand welted boot is something.
Anderson beans are the most comfortable boots ever. People need to give them a try. Also this happens to mine every 6 months honestly.
They are rlly comfortable even without cork?
But they are super expensive, I have a $175 pair of Durango's and they are really comfortable
They are expensive. Also if you pay more when you get them made to your foot size they're even better than off the shelf. I've had bull hide but I heard elephant and giraffe are the toughest. You can also get a vibrum sole which will last longer than the rubber. But for 450 to 650 bucks they are pricey but comfortable to ride in and drive
You guys use some old equipment in your shoe restoration it's great to see true artists at work bravo to you both....
Looking after something well, is a way of showing respect for the maker. I can't say I have never been guilty, but I have learned this much from watching craftsmen at work in such videos. Thanks for posting gents, I hope Santa fulfils your desires.
Thank you
@@TrentonHeath first off I love your vids. I've got a pair of hardly worn chippawa loggers. I would like to change the soles to something a little flatter and less aggressive tread. Is that something you could do? If so what's the average price to do something like that?
Fulfills your desires... that is the creepiest way I've ever heard someone wish someone well. I dig it..
I never in my life thought i would enjoy watching two guys fixing boots
Finally, more cowboy boots! Thanks Trenton and Heath!👍
Glad you enjoyed!
Darn! I wanted to send you my 20-year old Redwing 2412 steel toes, but decided to give the local shop a try. Boy was that a mistake! I had worn holes in the toes from working on my knees as a carpenter and asked the shop to put leather caps over the damage, which they agreed to. To my surprise, they slathered epoxy over the entire front of the boots, tried to sand them smooth and spray painted them. Holy crap, I wish I had sent them to you and could add a photo here. Keep up the nice work. Luckily, I didn’t give them my steel toed Rangers and will be sending them to you for toe caps and resole.
We can take care of the soles for you.
You two are truly masters in your profession.
Around here, those are struggle boots. Your down on your luck and struggling to make ends meet. You make them last as long as you can. Then when you finally get ahead you either get them fixed or say goodbye, because they owe you nothing anymore.
Those are more of a "I dropped $1k+ on these boots and I'm gonna get every cent out of it."
Why are T&H always so on point in terms of all the boots they are working on?
Bc they nailed it!
Actually the owner of these boots was a competitive country line dancer. He smoked the competition. Hence his boots. 🔥
I was gonna say the same thing. Wear on the inside of the toes from spins, and the outside of the heels from kicking out!
I was thinking a tie-down roper!
Not sure what’s more relaxing and satisfying to watch, this or the removal of ingrown toenails.
I think you guys were the victim of a prank with these boots, but you didn't realize it and made them wearable again anyway. Wow!
😂
I would think as long as they get paid, they don't mind being pranked.
Good job guys.
I was thinking the same thing.
Expensive prank...
Another well done refurbishing of boots that where not respected by the owner. Small wonder you are both good at your profession and have a very successful one as well..
Always look forward to seeing your new videos...
Merry Christmas guys...
I think I’d be wearing gloves on this one boys lol! OMG! What an overhaul. Pretty work! ❤️
It is nice to know that in todays disposable society there are still some good craftsmen keeping these trades alive. Some things are worth saving. Great job on the boots.
I hope your vids are influencing a new generation of apprentice cobblers.
Oh my goodness, you boys did a magnificent job! There was nothing left at the bottom and you brought those boots back to life!
You guys need to do an outtakes/blooper reel for new years. That way we know you aren't just super hero cobblers.
As always, thanks for sharing,
Cheers
😂😂😂
Absolutely amazing work. Its been over 15 years i worked with my fathers cobbler shop.
You guys have now shown me enough shoe pointers that every time I go to a shoe store all I see is junk. I guess I'll have to save up for some Red Wings.. 😎👍🥾
👍
I was in the trade for three years. One of the best jobs I ever had. You're craftsmen.
Trent looks so good without facial hair! Great job, you two! This was a beast of a restoration.
Thank you so much!
TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP!! Love what u guys do.
7:47 working man's hands. Keep up the good work guys. I enjoy watching you in action.
Thank you very much!
im glad i found my way back here, great way to spend the evening watching someone fix shoes
I think he was trying to get every mile out of his boots like most cowboys do.
I had my last pair held together by duck tape after 3 years of rough wearing
That's generally what farmers and those who work on their feet do. They are gonna get every penny they spent out of those boots.
@@joshuastevens5910 sounds like my boots, pull strap busted duct tape, glue holding the sole on is going duct tape, steel toe is showing duct tape
I think he met his first girlfriend in them and thay had sentimental value.
There's really something therapeutic about watching your videos. Awesome work as always!
Thank you so much!
While we didn't get our morning "grapenuts" we still got the magnificent glue pot! I'd love to get my fingers on that lol. Great job, guys. What a challenge well met.
😁 Glad you enjoyed!
Y'all have changed the way I think about shoes/boots in regard to quality and care. Thank you for all that you do!
Thank you so much, Joyce! We really appreciate that. We're glad to know that our videos are helping out. God bless!
So good to see you 2 together in front of a camera again! Awesome work as always! Merry X-mas guys!
Thanks Merry Christmas
Clearly these boots hold some kind of sentimentality for the owner to send them in for repair instead of trashing them.
Well done Fellas! That was a miracle the time and college effort to save them
Shoe repair is a dying skill. Very few shops remain anymore. Questions: what does suede shampoo do specifically that say saddle soap can't? Also what is best to bring back the suede knap and lastly what is the best product to waterproof suede?
Great video. So labor intensive.
Saddle soap has oils that would buff the knap off of suede, stiff bristle brushes are the best way to bring back knap, suede/nubuck spray is the best solution to waterproof suede.
Customer reactions to shoes/boots would be nice to see. Great work!
Another excellent production... I’m what they call an industrial mechanic/technician. ( production automation, conveyors) anyway the tools you use for your trade are WAY cooler than the ones I use... again, so satisfying watching junk turn to gold.
Very cool! Glad you enjoyed it, Nick!
I love the smell of the old fashioned shoe repair shops
Great video gentlemen! Thanks for all of the videos this year & Merry Christmas to you both!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you as well.
I love seeing how you’re willing to put in the work and do the time to do it right! True craftsmanship! 💕
Looking at those boots made me itch! Lol! Great video as always! What a restoration!✨
Thank you Andrea.
I don't know how I got here, but those old machines, especially the one that stitches through the leather sole, are AMAZING!. I had no idea things like this could be done.
excellent video as per usual! i do wish however that you'd work on the audio a bit in post, so that the sounds of shoe cobbling are louder! i turn up the volume to hear the tools at work then get startled when one of you begins speaking
I am a retired Mechanical engineer but i find it most satisfying see you guys bringing something back to life made from mother natures materials Awesome job guys 😁😁🤘🤘🤘🤘
What a great way to start my weekend! Love the videos
This may be one of the greatest repair job I have ever seen of any shoe ever. You’re good boys !
You know, I never knew how many nails were inside of our shoes until I started watching y'all's videos. So many nails... :)
Wow! Great job! Those boots would have gone in the trash. I never would have thought they could have been repaired as well as you did.
" the owner of these probably didn't put shoe trees or anything in them" just another example of how polite these guys are XD
Phenomenal job on that handwelting. I've watched a lot of your videos and have always been impressed with your work, but this instantly put you on my shortlist of "these guys can properly resole handwelted boots."
Thank you so much!
This one actually made me a bit angry. Hope you remembered to add in the Stupidity tax.
I'm thinking that someone in the shop made a rig for these and literally just added some weight to hold them down and literally dragged em behind a truck on a stiff mechanical rig. The toe wear outs are just way too symmetrical this is definitely not a customer playing a prank nor anyone sent these in, the boots would be bloody from the sheer heat of what happened to them if a real person was wearing em
@@zzzetsulive *Nah this isn't what Trenton and Heath did and not anyone else in the shop. They wouldn't do this. But whoever wore these and sent them in, really damaged them well lol 😅! I have no idea what the person did to get them that far gone.*
I’d say it’s just a lot of wear in a lot of cow shat because I’ve worn some leather soles completely thru like that as a little boy running around in the back of my family’s stockyard, (aka sale barn, aka Livestock Auction) and slip slidding around on the chert, gravel, and concrete that made up the parking lot. My parents would beg me to start wearing my newer model boots but instead id throw tape on my Justin Ropers (this would have been the early 90’s and Ropers were it. For kids even red ropers were a thing) just enough to keep the cow mess out until even duct tape wouldn't do or my dear mother tossed them in the dumpster while I was gone to school. I’ve worn out a lot of nice leather not keeping the manure off and just letting it more or less wear off over the years but if you grow up literally in the back of a barn you just have it on your boots so often that later in life and even now when I try much harder to keep it actually more than just hosed off it gets in the smallest hard to reach places. Lazy is also a word that comes to mind. Anyway I digress.
However those heels are the most abnormally worn of all time leading me to think that's not real wear at all. If not so crazy id suggest a guy in the saddle all day who is extremely bow-legged but he would be more like a case of someone with the rickets or something. No ole bow legged cowboy has ever worn a pair of heels like that. I realize it’s all probably a set up but I just thought of those things before I saw the insane amounts of wear and all.
These went from "Noche De Los Muertos Vivos" pair of boots , to a 180 degree turnaround. Solid restoration...look so much better now. Excellent gentlemen.
Perhaps he had a Fred Flintstone car.
Lol makes sense considering the damage
OMG! That was amazing work above and beyond the call of duty! For anyone wanting to binge watch and really learn about shoe repair, this is the place. Keep those videos coming guys! Merry Christmas!
The person that owned those boots had more money than sense.
maybe they were fred flintstone?
Nah I think he just got the most for his money...I wear my boots out too
.... or they just loved em
Every boot has a story. He could of worn those boots when his kids were born, or got them from his dad etc.
I have a few boots that hold some good stories and I’ll never get rid of them.
@@frankdagostino6136 I wasn’t talking about refurbishment, but rather letting the boots get in that shape to start with; had they been refurbished about 50k miles before, it would have vastly increased the life of them
Hi, i am from Germany and i´m watching your videos for some time and really enjoying it watching your work. I am so happy that you put "Matthew 1,23" in the video description. Thank you and may God bless you!
(sry for my frugal english)
Should have charged him half the price since he already did half the work for you! LOL! P.S. If that was a car the best way to fix it would be to jack up the radiator cap and drive a new one under it.
Imagine sending my beat up boots out and getting them back brand new and then going online and watching the process knowing that they were repaired the finest way possible. That has to be a good feeling
Those boots are the epitome of "Hold my Beer and watch this!"
Love seeing the old vintage equipment and traditional tool of the trade be used by true craftsman. 👍
I’d be curious to know how much this restoration cost. I sometimes see shoes with great uppers and worn through insoles at thrift stores...I’ve never purchased due to not know how much this might cost.
They said in their previous videos. But like this boot fix will probably be like $100-150? I think it’s all about how much work it is and the cost of material. A simple resole is like 80 bucks. But 80 for a pair of $500 shoes you got for almost free is an amazing deal, and you get to start fresh
This one would have been quite expensive, but we gave a bit of a deal to the owner so that we could show y’all this extreme case. Usually shoes found at thrift stores just need new heel pads or a simple resole. A basic resole is usually around $90-$130, depending upon who does them.
These boots must have been quite expensive looking at how they were built. Surprised someone would then ski behind a truck - unless he was dragged by a horse 😱
@@bjoernaltmann or really bow legged.
@@bjoernaltmann for some of those high-end hand made Texas boot makers, can run a few grand+ easy.
I have no idea why im watching but you got me hooked! I think its the idea of the restoration.. Subscribed..
Heath always got bruised nails. Lol. Watch how you hitten’ that hammer son.
Very true, but this one was from a rock that fell on my finger.
I'm up late working on Silage calculations for a feedlot and this was one of the coolest things to watch how it's done.
Would it have been more cost effective to just throw these boots away and buy a new pair rather than repair them? I mean at what point do you decide if it’s worth the cost? I can see the merit in the challenge of the repair, I just wonder at what point do you pitch instead of patch.
That's what I thought too
Nice to see folks enjoying doing a good job! Thank you.
But the real question is: Why do people let shoes get that far worn? There's nothing between their foot and the ground.
It probably came down to a severe lack of money. Food you have to have, boot soles... not so much. The fact that they are getting repaired I hope shows that his life is looking much better. Happy Holidays
@@star9732 Some People Won't Settle. When you go to Walmart for Boots, You have Settled 😳
@@star9732 Star, I'm truly glad that you have never gone hungry, been down to the clothes you wear and maybe another pair of pants and a couple of shirts stuffed in a sack and sleeping on the ground only to wake up fighting to keep what little you have which may include worn out boots you bought when you had a job and a family and a future. May God shine his blessings on you now and in the future, you are so lucky.
If it was ‘severe lack of money’ they wouldn’t have sent them to be repaired. They would have replaced them with a cheap pair costing much less than a repair.
@@lesleysmith5623 Of course, because everyone has money and life never goes down the tubes. Merry Christmas and go buy that 82" TV, you deserve it.
You two are really amazing! You basically built him a new pair of boots!
I have friends that do this to there boots and don’t even get the repaired and they are usually $500 pair of exotics or just a 200 dollar cowhide boots.
Wow!
@@TrentonHeath yeah they don’t care about there boots
I can’t believe y’all were able to save those. They looked like they were for sure going to be laid to rest & y’all brought them back to life.
props to whoever made those pair initially, look at all the abuse and work they took and still were held together in one piece
UA-cam: "I see that you watched a guy trim a cow's hoof... I bet you wanna see another guy fix an old boot?"
Me: "Not really." *clicks anyway*
Considering the same thing just happened to me, UA-cam must have a method to its madness.
Much respect for these guys, looks very difficult.
Stupid question: what kind of shoes do y’all wear at work? Every time I see those nail bits go flying to the floor I feel anxious for the soles of your shoes haha
Haha...we appreciate you caring! 😉❤️ We usually wear boots.
@@TrentonHeath or flip flops! haha!
carhart composite toe , cadilacs
For some reason this makes me wanna drop everything i have learned so far and do this for a living lol. I feel like i would love this.
Seriously? Those look like shoes an old timey hobo would wear. How? Just how?
OK. This is the most extreme "makeover" case I have ever seen. Outstanding job!!! The inner sole work was amazing....
Whoever that person is. But he definitely not a gentleman 😂. Just look at those poor boots.
real jackbutt…
not going to lie, at first i was like send them back, cant be repaired, you guys did a awesome job on them
If the boots were in that bad of a condition, I can imagine how worse off his dogs were.
Great job guys! Enjoy the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be well and Godspeed.
wow this one just got knock out of the ball park guys,your a pair of miracle workers. now I'm really impressed
Thank you very much!
I just watched true craftsmen at work. I'm glad there are still some around.
That’s is the one thing I love about my as a shoe repairer ( in the uk) taking a trashed pair of shoes and making them look new
I have a pair of Anderson Bean boots that are favourites of mine. They are definitely well worn in, but definitely not thrashed as these are. Nice work on these, considering what you had to start with!
Amazing to watch you guys work! Not enough artisans left in the world. You guys are amazing! Thank You!
