Beautiful! It's too soon to resole my IRs but I would prefer a softer outsole. Whittier is close enough to make the drive, you might just get a visit from this gringo in the 805.
Thats a nice looking combo, I love my IRs but they are definitely not the most comfortable, a full leather midsole and that vibram outsole is exactly what I plan on having done when my boots are in need of a rebuild.
Excelente trabajo amigo muchas felicidades te sigo por que soy un amante a la zapatería pero de buena construcción y tus reparaciones son de excelente calidad . Salidos desde Morelia Michoacán Mexico.
I wish I could send you some of my boots to repair but the shipping alone would be almost the same cost as repair. I also prefer the older model of Iron Rangers with the flat bottoms.
Fine job, as always. My experience with the 1757 Middlebury/Gumlite soles wasn't very good, but mainly because of the work I was doing at the time. The Gumlite is very comfortable and the grip was remarkable, even on a 10/12 pitch roof. But those benefits come at a tradeoff with longevity. They may be suitable for a shop environment where one is on a concrete all day, but walking through rough terrain and asphalt quickly wore them down, so I went back to the 132 unit soles.
Why a heel rand instead of a 360˚ welt? Lots of shoe makers convert other brands of shoes, (like Alden Indy) from 270˚ to 360˚, but I've never seen a 360˚ conversion on an Iron Ranger. Why?
@@AaronG2480 I think we have misunderstanding here and I apologize for the confusion. Of course shoe makes don't do it for free and I would never expect it to be free! My question is why have I never seen an Iron Ranger converted from a 270˚ welt to a 360˚ welt? I've done a lot of searching, but have never found such a conversion. Kind Regards
@EdAb 😅it’s all good I was just kidding. I’m pretty sure Wyatt and Dad have at least one video of that conversion , have you checked? I have converted a pair of blacksmith, I didn’t make a video but here’s the instagram link of that. instagram.com/p/C3EOuuzvC6r/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Cheers!
@@AaronG2480 Thanks for the Wyatt and Dad tip. I had searched "Iron Ranger 360" before, but nothing came up. After your suggestion I skimmed through a couple of videos and found one with a 360˚ welt conversion, but they didn't really show what the welt looked like. ua-cam.com/video/JCdPFqqnpMw/v-deo.html I guess I'll have to keep skimming for more. Your Blacksmith boot conversion looks amazing, thanks for sharing!
Man you're an artist, your work is astonishing.
🙏
I've watched a lot of boot resole videos and you are one of the best out there.
Those mini-lugs on the more current IR's are so hard under foot. Would love to do this to my charcoal r & t's in the future.
They are the most uncomfortable boots I own. Putting Dr Shoal inserts helps but they still suck.
I think they made the sole harder for soft surface work. I work on dirt and mud all day and they are the most comfortable shoes I've bought so far.
@@CCrazyA Could see that.

I want to send some Iron Rangers in for recrafting. What’s turn around time. The work you do is amazing
Excellent combination for an awesome looking resole!!!!!!!!!
Wow! You’ve outdone yourself again. Great job!
Thanks!!
Another outstanding rebuild!!!

Love this, I was looking at this exact sole for my nearly new IR.
As always...beautiful work Aaron!
Another gorgeous outcome!
Another amazing job! Better than new.

Correct, it really depends on what you need the boots
Thanks

Thank you for showing good technique when you edge bevel the welts. 😀
😎🖐🏻👊
Donde tienes tu reparadora?
How long do the boots stay in the hydraulic press for the soles?
A few seconds only.
How do the nails on the heel rand not go through the leather insole/footbed?
They do go through and then are bent over by foot support/ holder (not sure of the correct term). This cinches it all together.
How can i get pricing ????
~3:06 ? what's that shoe there like an ostrich chukka?
Correct, those were very famous back in the 2000s
Why a heel rand instead of a 360˚ welt? Lots of shoe makers convert other brands of shoes, (like Alden Indy) from 270˚ to 360˚, but I've never seen a 360˚ conversion on an Iron Ranger.
Why?
Simply because the costumer didn’t ask or paid for it.
Those cobblers you mentioned don’t do it for free

Why did you have to put nails at the bottom of soles? Won't it pierce through the foot after long use and worn?
This guy always replaces the welt. No shortcuts here.
