I got a pair of Lems standard waterproof Boulders with the IBR soles. They are more comfortable than the Summit and the Boulder Grip for me but I don't get much traction. Would love to glue the Vibram sole you used on the Harley boot. I have a very strong 2 part epoxy I can glue those on with. Is that a good idea? Thanks. Love the content.
Pretty cool, I do hate how everything is glued on now, had to buy some Matterhorn 400 dollar miner boots to get a real sewn on sole and a boot that will hold up, glue like this is trashed and sole coming off in a month if I’m lucky
I completely understand. It's hard to tell in the video, but I actually stitched these on from the inside of the shoes. I made sure they were countersunk so you'd have to wear the sole awhile before walking on stitches.
@@Theshoeman02 nice 👍🏻, I’m currently trying to save two pair of very rare timberland superboots I found for cheap, watching these type of videos to see if I can ditch the “concrete construction” glued on soles and go with a Goodyear welt with the either a split welt with the rim or if that don’t work last resort do a stitch down strait to the welt. Only one local shoe place around here just trying to gain a little knowledge before taking them there
@@walterlangkowski4723 converting Timberlands to a GYW can be tricky and most cobblers will turn that job away. It's definitely possible so if your local cobbler won't do it feel free to reach out, I'm happy to help
Hi, where can I buy these Vibram or any brands sole online? I spent some time looking for an online supply store but it was hard to find one. And If I may, normally where can I buy the material and simple tool online? I'm interested in DIY one for myself. Also do you have any way to remove the cup-in midsole to change the foam when they are worn out flat? Thank you in advance.
I’m not to sure of an online supplier, but you can try to call Miami Leather Supply. That’s where I order most of my soles from. As far as removing the cup sole, I wouldn’t be able to tell you until I see the shoe
For a couple reasons, cup soles the fit are hard to find, and this customer wanted a little bit more grip while riding his motorcycle so this is what we came up with
As much as a hate(d) the idea, those are actually really nice. Pretty smart. Good job
100% Absolute BADASS!!!
I’m doing this to my Boots because winter is coming and I don’t want to slip all the time at work

@@MrBluesyoucanuse thanks 🙏 I would use Barge All Purpose Cement. It’s a contact cement that’s very similar to what I use. You can get it from Amazon
I had questions but it turned out great. Customers always right!
I love it.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely awesome
When you sand the old sole, how do you know its even ? by eye ?
Lots of practice and yes by looking at it.
What type of glue is needed pls?
I used Reina All Purpose cement
Where can I get this done? I am willing to send my boots and pay for these vibram soles
You can send them to my shop in Smyrna Tn. You can email me at Shoemanwithcustomcreations@gmail.com or DM me on Instagram @Shoe.man02
Why not just remove the old sole cup and get a new one?

Who the cement start to peal off
I stitched the soles on so they shouldn't peel off
its a little more enjoyable to watch these with the sounds of machinery in my opinion.
I try to do those style videos, however with a busy work day and lots of background sounds, it's difficult
@@Theshoeman02no worries, good content all around chief, keep it up
