Stridewise having an existential crisis at realizing he's been incorrectly saying boots have "cork midsoles" this whole time on his videos. Great video and keep them coming!
The holes are to prevent “sink” That’s a term used in the molding industry. Sink happens in thick sections of material as the material cools it shrinks and leaves a depression in the finished material. And that can be unsightly.
This is effectively the experience we all wish we could have with our favorite cobblers! Just wish there was a trade school nearby so I could learn this wonderful craft too.
It's nice to you get out to Outback once and a while....It's good to other parts of the country other then Brooklyn....I really enjoy both channels....
I actually remember when we had several cobblers in our side of town that re-soled our shoes as a kid. It was a 10-minute process that had normally double your shoe life, at least till you were ready for the next size up.
Must have been a long day... If you look at the window in the back...The video starts with day light then ends in the dark. I can watch this stuff all day long!!!
Love this. I'm a subscriber of Trenton and Heath and this came up on my suggested. Heath is a proper silver fox, as a lady of a certain age I think he's damned fine. Loved watching this as Heath is explaining things and answering questions as he's going which adds a different dimension to the craft. I think the other chap in the video needs to adopt the 'assisting surgeon' stance, it's really good for getting in and engaged, also makes you look like you know what's happening even if and when you don't ;-) .
I think the general consensus is that Nick was very much the "kid being shown how to do grown-up things by his dad" in this video and it was heartwarming
Nick starts out calling him “frustratingly handsome”. Sounds like Heath might not have liked some of the off camera attention he was getting. Us southern boys ain’t used to some of that big city stuff. 🤣🤣🤣
Think of all the sweet, comfortable miles you will get from a good pair of boots, already well worn in. Function like new, but comfort of old. Yes, the red thread was definitely a pop of color and not a bad idea at all.
@@Stridewise and did you see the green Vibram lug soles they put on a pair of old boots? I am uber conservative and they looked right at home, not crazy, but like they should be there. Made me change my mind!
Fascinating, got my first paid og Red Wings yesterday for Christmas :D I sized down, they're hard to get on, but once on they fit, although a little narrow but I have a feeling once brokenb in they'll fit perfectly.
Nice video Nick. Your boots are looking way better then before after resole. And specially the red stitching on welt pops. I reckon if you put red laces on these boots that will take them to the next level. Cheers! Love from Australia
You know some moc toes have shanks (eg Grant Stone's, Thursday) bc people find they add stability and arch support, but you're right I've learned that they're not always put in moc toes
I'm definitely getting mine resoled when they need it, thank you for this, it really does add a lot more life in the boots! I also love that colour leather... Future purchase... I'm becoming totally obsessed with denim and leather XD
15:20 You can install a big air duct right in front of the bench where you use the glue and hook it up to a big duct fan that blows the air out of the building. You also can get away with a smaller one if you do the work more closely in front of it. Maybe one of these aluminum ones hanging from the ceiling. Those can be bent to the right place. You also need to let the air in somewhere. For this you can just open a window. I guess a fume hood like in a chem lab would be overkill.
Watching these guys and Dan at Tring, I have decided to start buying nice leather boots. I have always kept it cheap because I thought cobblers were a dead breed. These guys however, these guys are good!
I always wondered if cobblers match the original stitch holes in the welt, otherwise the GY welt would have a limited lifespan. Interesting that they can dial in the spacing to match. I would have put lug soles on, but that’s so personal. I think these look way better than new. What a great pair of boots! Cool video, thanks guys!
I have those exact charcoal rough n tuff Moc Toes ... super premium leather that was a nightmare to break-in ... but now they fit like gloves. Will be sending most (if not all) my resoles to Potter and Sons.
@@jaystavros7177 didn’t check branock, I went with the same size as my iron rangers 9.5 D which is 1 full size down from my sneaker size of 10.5, feels good to me.
Hey Nick, so since Trenton replaced the cork filling did you have to break in the boots for a second time? What was it like? EDIT: seems like it's already addressed in the video 😛 just need to watch a bit more
The layers of contact cement plus glue mixed with cork on a resole prove that it doesn't matter if your soles are rubber or leather, neither are going to breathe.
Love this video guys! I just a pair moctoes that I eventually plan on switching the stock soles to different crepe. I also want to switch the midsole to leather but would you recommend going with a thick midsole? Possible a quarter inch thick? Would there be any benefits? Appreciate your videos and everything you do!
You need to heat both parts in the same time, for instance under '' flah oven'', but also with the heater sitting on the bench, to free your both handsp

Love it. Nick totally looked like a little kid being shown how to do things by a grown up but I know I would have done exactly the same thing
That's exactly the mood!
This is effectively the experience we all wish we could have with our favorite cobblers! Just wish there was a trade school nearby so I could learn this wonderful craft too.
Man I'm so jealous! I wish I could resole my boots with Heath! I Love and watch all their videos!!! The boots look Awesome!!!
Glad you like it dude!
I’m glad he put you to work!
I filmed one with Bedo's Leatherworks too and he made me do a lot more work!
Why have I been waiting for this colab for so long!!
This is cobbler fan fiction.
Nick is like a child watching his dad fix something for him.
Pretty much!
You can definitely tell Nick doesn’t work with his hands lol…
@@JJ-lu6mg Hey I type
"That's the manliest shit I've ever heard" - indeed
Great video!! Love the in depth! They do amazing work and really are meticulous about their craft!
Yeah they truly love the work, really inspiring guys
Awesome 👏😎Heath is an amazing cobbler ‼️
It's nice to you get out to Outback once and a while....It's good to other parts of the country other then Brooklyn....I really enjoy both channels....
Thanks Billy! I go all over :)
I was secretly hoping for a Ghost moment where Heath would guide your hands through the movement. Haha. Loving these collabs!
that's so funny. if only i could get the music rights
I actually remember when we had several cobblers in our side of town that re-soled our shoes as a kid. It was a 10-minute process that had normally double your shoe life, at least till you were ready for the next size up.

This is very true, I read your comment out loud to my buddy and we laughed
It was so satisfying to see those boots finally with a new outsole!
Haha glad someone was invested in their journey :)
I love cobbler videos. They're so relaxing.
Yes they are! Glad you found this one enjoyable.
What an awesome experience Nick! Consider me jealous lol.
Glad you liked it Jimmy!
Heath really seemed like he wasnt having Nicks shit in this video. Everyone has off days. I love both channels.
Haha he's just more taciturn than Trent
I noticed the same. Was he having an off day? Maybe he had some shit to do that he had on his mind.
When Heath talks he is purposeful with his words.
The other guy talks so much, and quickly but isn’t saying anything truly meaningful or additive.
Nick starts out calling him “frustratingly handsome”. Sounds like Heath might not have liked some of the off camera attention he was getting. Us southern boys ain’t used to some of that big city stuff. 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah I really like it! Trenton was telling me I was going to regret it haha but I decided (much later, after stressing needlessly) that i love it
@@Stridewise and did you see the green Vibram lug soles they put on a pair of old boots? I am uber conservative and they looked right at home, not crazy, but like they should be there. Made me change my mind!
@@Stridewise are these the type of quality boots I want for extensive miles of walking? I'm sick of wearing running shoes.
Just started watching your channel and this video is so satisfying after watching the milage on those mocs . Great content
I was so longing for this resole video to come out since you said you got your redwing moctoe resoled!! Great color choice for the stitch!
Yeah grey and red go great together!
Great content gents, well done.
Thanks Matt! This video was a big operation
Awesome collaboration Nick. Big fan of both channels. Keep doing your thing.
Fascinating, got my first paid og Red Wings yesterday for Christmas :D I sized down, they're hard to get on, but once on they fit, although a little narrow but I have a feeling once brokenb in they'll fit perfectly.
Truly an interesting collaboration!
Glad you liked it Jose!
Fascinating video! Who knew there were so many steps involved in resoling? And just knowing that the end product will be some good looking boots! 🔥
I know right? I foolishly thought it was kind of simple until i took part in this
This hot cork was the best ever! 😃
So satisfying
Too much handsome in one room
I'm just reflecting Heath's handsomeness
I have never seen Heath look so nervous during filming
I think he was more frustrated or annoyed lol. Maybe a little too much bourbon the night before.
@@jackdunn4463 🤣
You guys should offer a fan this opportunity... This is cool! @TrentonandHeath
I love watching their videos and the way he uses that knife it’s crazy
Really glad you found this video man!
Love this video Nick!
The hot cork segment is definitely the highlight of the video. It shows my one complaint about Red Wing Heritage Moc Toe Boots, no shank.
Great video! I enjoy both channels.
Nice video Nick. Your boots are looking way better then before after resole. And specially the red stitching on welt pops. I reckon if you put red laces on these boots that will take them to the next level. Cheers!
Love from Australia
Good idea!
Great watching you teach
Very nice boot video, thank you both.
Because of the wedge sole it doesn’t need a shank. Where the iron Rangers because of the heal need the shank.
You know some moc toes have shanks (eg Grant Stone's, Thursday) bc people find they add stability and arch support, but you're right I've learned that they're not always put in moc toes
@@Stridewise not just boots, flat sole sneakers and Chukkas to.
Great collab video! You seemed genuinely excited every step of the way 😄
Awesome video man!
I love this video, and I am already a subscriber of theirs.
I'm definitely getting mine resoled when they need it, thank you for this, it really does add a lot more life in the boots! I also love that colour leather... Future purchase... I'm becoming totally obsessed with denim and leather XD
😂 their interaction was pure comedy in a few subtle ways… priceless
lol Ricky Gervais-like
@@Stridewise spot on!
Those guys are royalty when it comes to resoleing boots! 😁👌🏽

I subscribed because your awesome and your boot reviews are very good. 😊
them red stitches are on point
I’d love to see Nick grow up and become a cobbler.
I'm going to Guatemala to learn how to make a pair of boots next month!
Cool Vid Nick, wish I was there learning that
Maybe next time, Benjamin! Glad you liked it
Love those guys!
Thanks Drake!
I like your choice of threads. Yes, the red really pops and let's face it, few if any will notice it. If you like it, go for it.
@Nick A follow up detailing the new break-in, fit and comfort of your recently resoled RW Moc-toe boots would be appreciated. Thank you!
I feel like I just had some quality family-friendly Bro Time. Cheers, fellas.
Love this
Great video Nick 👍
Glad you enjoyed it Andrew
Watching these guys and Dan at Tring, I have decided to start buying nice leather boots. I have always kept it cheap because I thought cobblers were a dead breed. These guys however, these guys are good!
Great call on the red
I love the video, especially the little awkwardness you did.
He's an intimidating master
Great video guys
Thanks so much!
Trent and Heath are guys that I want to hang with lol. It’d be awesome to have this opportunity to work on a pair of shoes, and see the process.
I like the red stitching!
Me too Dave!
You did it, buddy!!!
I always wondered if cobblers match the original stitch holes in the welt, otherwise the GY welt would have a limited lifespan. Interesting that they can dial in the spacing to match.
I would have put lug soles on, but that’s so personal. I think these look way better than new. What a great pair of boots! Cool video, thanks guys!
Glad you got around to watching it! I just visited them again for more videos
To answer the question "why are there holes in the vibram christy"... its to help relieve any air bubbles when you glue it to the mid sole.
Great video! Maybe one day I'll get myself a pair of Redwings.
Careful, these heritage boots are addicting.
Great video . Good info. I have my first pair of Thursdays caption boots. Maybe next year I will get a pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile boots
Just bought a pair and will be sending mine into them when they need new soles.
I have those exact charcoal rough n tuff Moc Toes ... super premium leather that was a nightmare to break-in ... but now they fit like gloves.
Will be sending most (if not all) my resoles to Potter and Sons.
Great to see 👏
Hi Nick. I've seen these boots after they were resoled in previous videos. How long ago was this filmed before you released it?
Even i wouldn't resole it myself, but this is very satisfying to see how to resole by professional
If you have to be home sick, what could be better than binge-watching SW videos?
well hot dog Jon it's very touching you'd use your precious recuperation time to watch my gobbledigook!
Heath is never without his trusty OLFA L-2.
One day I would like him to try making his own cobbler specific knife like Bootfury.
I know where im gonna resole my Perry’s if I ever get through that sole.
How’s the sizing on the Perry’s? What brannock size are you vs what you ordered if you don’t mind my asking?
@@jaystavros7177 didn’t check branock, I went with the same size as my iron rangers 9.5 D which is 1 full size down from my sneaker size of 10.5, feels good to me.
Hey Nick, so since Trenton replaced the cork filling did you have to break in the boots for a second time? What was it like?
EDIT: seems like it's already addressed in the video 😛 just need to watch a bit more
this is like sesame street for adult men. instead of going to a bakery with elmo, we're learning how boots get resoled.
Brought to you by the letters T and H!
Red stitching for Red Wing seems appropriate.
Probably zero other guys with red stitching! 😂 What watch is that you’re wearing?
Really nice job. Would like to send my RW Iron Ranger to you when time comes. Subscribed.
Always remember "chicks dig scars"
Weird, love both these channels but I didn’t see any chemistry between these two fellows. Kidding guys
RED STITCH IS FIRE!
Yeah I really like it Gabe!
What a great experience.
I was so happy to be there
The layers of contact cement plus glue mixed with cork on a resole prove that it doesn't matter if your soles are rubber or leather, neither are going to breathe.
Exactly 🤣. And your uppers won't breather because of the Thermo plastic toe/heel puff and nylon reinforcements
@@jensrb50 Your uppers might breathe because of that big hole in the boot where you put your foot :-) . As long as you don't lace it really tightly
Love this video guys! I just a pair moctoes that I eventually plan on switching the stock soles to different crepe. I also want to switch the midsole to leather but would you recommend going with a thick midsole? Possible a quarter inch thick? Would there be any benefits? Appreciate your videos and everything you do!
Heath always seems like a nice guy...and he makes it seem really easy, which I am sure isn't the case.
Dude cobbling and shoemaking is SO HARD
Did you also recondition the leather, or dye it, or is that an unusual color? Great learning video.
it's charcoal rough and tough, we didn't recondition it actually, i should have and T&H normally do!
SO COOL 👍 ! Thanks 🙏
I can respect a white collar guy willing to get there hands dirty.
heath is just a rugged hearty fellow lol, nicks about to have one solid boot and one flopping apart
oh because i'm bad at boot resoling?? yes, that's a fair assessment
@@Stridewise precisely
I think the red thread pairs way better with that leather than it would with oro lecagy
yeah i really love the red thread
Amigo Bonito trabajo nice work saludos desde sacramento California
Dang it man. He never really finished what he was saying about the difference in sheet cork or the mix stuff. I’ve been wondering this myself.
You need to heat both parts in the same time, for instance under '' flah oven'', but also with the heater sitting on the bench, to free your both handsp
3 other guys in the world with red stitching on their Red Wings.
Yeah. Wyatt, his dad, and Uncle Tony. 🤣
Heat have talent ar explaining the "why"
