If you would have told me a year ago that I would be a fan of a youtube chanel about shoe repair, I wouldn't have believed you. Yet here we are! Always super excited when a new video is released!
Wow, this is another excellent repair. The owner is going to be super happy with her boots. You guys are second to none. Thank you for sharing your videos with us.
@7:36 one can see the precise detailed work these guys do. The fact that they show what may well be a 'trade secret' on how not to mess up a toe welt, is absolutely amazing. This tradecraft sharing is exactly what we all need to further the tribal knowledge that drives us all long. Well done guys, and awesome channel.
Your channel is mesmerizing and I can hardly stop watching. Love the passion and the quality of your work. I just love the spirit and the down home feeling when I watch you two work!
From the son of a shoe repairman, 👞 I liked what you did for the boots. I myself would have been a shoe repairman myself but my Dad thought I moved to slow, but that is OKAY I learned how to do the job anyway. Learned the leather craft and I have a good hobby. Now I am making a pair of slippers from scratch, using sheepskin and elk leather. I am going to subscribe.
Perhaps the the most understated thing I have ever heard on this channel: "We just got these boots back into good, working order." this was a magical transformation - beautiful work, Trent!
I'm so thankful for my local cobbler.... I have saved more than one pair of boots at this point. And by I, I mean my amazing cobbler! The work you all do is awesome you save people a lot of money and you bring stuff back to life. Reduce Recycle Reuse
I live in Comanche Texas and I have soooo many friends who I have grown up with, rode and roped with and out of 100 I can't name you 1 single person, woman or man who wore FRYE Boots.
Well, this is such a great revelation in boot repairs, what a fantastic job you made of what was probably a fairly good make of boot and you made them like new! Thanks for taking us through the stages of the repair, I would only like to ask, was it more financially better to repair than replace as I know shoe repairs can be very expensive and probably that is why in many cases it is cheaper to buy new and that is probably why so many shoe repairers seem to have gone. Thanks for this, so well done.
This was a joy to watch, with a wonderful memory. My dad had a pair so similar that he wore for 20 years. Had the soles redone at least twice. His had the color of oxblood polish. I still polish my own leather shoes the same way. ❤ thanks for the memory
I am constantly amazed at the skill and detail you gentlemen display on every job you do. Those fine touches set you apart from the crowd...Over the past few years, you guys have educated me to the point I can confidently choose a quality pair of footwear.
My grandfather was a cobbler and worked at the doc marten factory in Northampton and I never expressed I interest in shoe maintenance and repair and this Channel has shown me the incredible things people do to such simple things
That is so cool! We both owned a pair of Doc Martens that we bought in the 90s while visiting London. Back then, as you mentioned, they were still made in England. Now, I believe they’re made in China and elsewhere. The quality of the new Doc Martens just isn’t as good. Would love to have visited the old manufacturing facility.
I have a pair of Timberland boots with plastic heel blocks with layered leather strips/veneer covering them. I haven't worn into the plastic heel block from the bottoms, but I have worn the leather veneer out of the corners, from hooking the heel block things like chairs and whatnot.
Saphir's Creme Universelle is fabulous. I have lots of Saphir products, but keep coming back to this basic conditioner. Sometimes you don't have to reach to the top of the product line to get excellent results.
I wish I could do this for a living! Something about working with shoe leather and rejuvenating old soles is very rewarding. There are no cobbler schools.
Beautiful handy work on them lady cowgirl boots!! So sad to see 5.6k views with only 1.5k likes 👍 come on viewers they sure do deserve alot better then that!! Keep it up gentleman!!
I love it. Yes boots are expensive, more expensive than senakers, but they last forever. Leather boots can be rebuilt almost indefinitely. I feel like good leather boots are a better investment. I have a couple pair of Tony Lamas that are over 20 years old and look and wear great.
Those are better than some Frye models I've seen, like vinyl shafts, and like you mentioned, leather wrapped plastic heel blocks, all sorts of nastiness. One up-grade I'd've opted for, the more traditional cowboy boot waist, which isn't flat, and pinned with the traditional wooden pins. Nice detail touches to the JRs too, shading with the dye, the decorative pattern rolled into the leather near the stitch line. I'd've loved to've seen just how you used that waxed cordage to add the structural integrity of the leather while welting the toe, a nice job there. A question (not challenging your work), curious as to why the leather didn't get conditioner where it's stitched to the welt, prior to welting? Would that have a negative effect on the integrity of the leather?
I can't believe, I mean I can because it's you guys but I can't get over how beautiful they turned out. I mean, I'm no shoe expert but these look better than new
love yalls videos first off , but have yall ever thought about doin a shoe resto and getting the customers reaction?? think that would be awesome , love yalls work keep the vids comin!!
She's going to be one happy cowgirl ! Looks like those boots are better than new . Would you be able to change the heals on a pair of Toni Lama buckaroo boots ?
What a transformation, guys! The boots look gorgeous, arguably better than they ever have. I hope the owner is now motivated to care for them a bit better. Fingers crossed. 😊 Enjoy your weekend.
Miles and miles of use in the forecast for these revitalized boots. Nice job! And now we know what rocket fuel keeps the two of you going through the resoles: Coffee! Mahalos! 👍
First off i love your channel, my grandfather was a cobbler and it reminds me of him. I have very wide feet 5e what good quality all around / work boots would you recommend. Thanks & God bless Matt.
Quick question for the experts: I clean my boots every other week with saddle soap, and then slap on a coat of mink oil. Is that too much? Am I harming the leather by cleaning it too often? Thanks guys, great video as always.
Good morning Trent. I have to admit when I first saw the thumbnail for this video that this was going to be a repair on a pair of mens boots as generally guys are more apt to wait until it's almost too late to get repairs done. I guess it can happen with ladies boots too. As they say never assume anything. BTW that was a pretty slick segue into the coffee ad. ; ) Have a great weekend. : )
I have these trekking shoes I got little over 20 years ago, hated them for sole being too soft and letting me feel too much of the stones and all. Promised myself to stand behind the buy and exchange it for something else when they die. That's it though, they would not die. I am at the stage where I need new ones or new sole (stiffer one this time :)). You craftsmanship is amazing, I would be sending them right away if not being EU based :/
I have a pair of Frye's my wife , girlfriend at the time, gave me 11 years ago. They are by far my favorite pair of boots I own I wear them almost exclusively in the winter. The soles are almost completely worn down and the felt on the heel is almost gone. I have considered replacing them, but they are so comfortable I have wondered if anyone could repair them. After seeing this, I will be getting in touch with you all.
Nice job, hard to believe someone can wear the soles of a pair of shoes/boots to that level, truly amazing. Curious if you guys don't double grove the stitching channel to put the stitches a bit lower and give the sole a bit more life before stitches start getting worn away?
A lot of times, in our videos, we’ll groove it by hand (folks seem to like that), and then we’ll groove it a bit more with the electric trencher. If you take it too deep, the stitches won’t show.
So form over function? :-\ Would never have figure you guys for that, always function for me, unless form doesn't have any negative effects on whatever it is.
Fellas. I have a brand new pair of Double H cowboy boots. They’re nice and American made. But, the heel arch is way too big and it hurts my foot. I didn’t realize it would be a problem until it was too late. So, now I can’t return them. Question. Are you guys able to reduce the arch on the boot? If so, I would love to send you the boots for repair and hopefully put em in one of your videos. Let me know, please. Thank you.
If the stitching and welts are also brown, it’s okay to use the brown cream on it. It’ll also provide a bit of conditioning to the welts. If the stitches are white, or another color, I use neutral cream along the edge.
@@TrentonHeath I was wondering about the stitching on the boot itself. I have a pair of black cowboy boots that have white stitching on the toe and shaft. I worried about turning it black if I use black shoe cream on it. Thanks for all of your help and keep up the great work with the videos!

The same bro😎👍👞🥃
We really appreciate y’all watching! Thank you!!
My story exctly.
I absolutely love watching the process! Tempted to call the local cobbler to see if they’d be interested in me apprenticing.
Same here , even restored a few pairs of goodwill shoes myself. Of course I didn’t take them apart but it was still fun !
Wow, this is another excellent repair. The owner is going to be super happy with her boots. You guys are second to none. Thank you for sharing your videos with us.
You’re too kind. Thank you very much!
Great job on the women’s boots. They practically look new. The quality of the craftsmanship is truly amazing. T&T always killing the game!

Yay! I’m glad you have a pair of ladies shoes. They look great as always!🐝🤗❤️

Glad to see these video's are coming consistently! Thanks for the content
Thanks for watching!
Loved the video and the sponsor placement was so smooth!
Thank you!
Happy Saturday Trent and Heath from the UK
Thank you so much for watching! Happy Saturday!!
Love the coffee idea. I love hearing people's review if different coffees, whiskeys and craft beer. Looking forward to more of these.
I spent many a day watching my uncle repair boots in his Red Wing shoe store in Glenwood MN.
Good times
RUclips algorithms can be a wonderful thing
Beth Dutton would be proud to wear those boots!

It’s about time you guys come back glad to see ya 👋
I don’t have shoes nice enough to repair, but boy do I enjoy these videos.

👍
I wish I had kept my Frye boots from high school…love your channel and look forward to seeing you show some boot love.
One of my favorite videos thus far. Very sweet!!!
Thank you, Christina!
There are times I'm in the mood to watch more of uppers' taken care of, and times I want more of the soles.
You guys always know what I want 😜 thanks!
😁 we’re just happy you watch our channel!
Well that's a first I was looking at my phone and your notification came over 😂 couldn't hit that button quick enough
Well, we really appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos!
Do you do heel replacements, as in converting heels to wooden heels on boots. If so, how much would it cost
Can you guys do a video on good products for at home shoe care? Maybe covering the specific tools and techniques that y’all use and have success with?
Love when you post new videos. Great work as always.
Thank you!
Love the patina on these boots.
I wish I could do this for a living!
Something about working with shoe leather and rejuvenating old soles is very rewarding.

Why do I suddenly want coffee at 5pm? Such a bad influence
You sure slid that commercial in seamlessly… great video!
😉 Thanks for watching!
Excellent job my friends! What a difference. They came out beautiful, as usual 🥰
Awesome video as always Gents. Great start to my day while enjoying my coffee.
Thank you!
Great to see Mount Gluvius still going strong! Thanks for the great video once again
Thank you, Drew!
Only channel I can give thumbs up 👍 before I watch because all the videos are great.
You’re the man, Carl. 😁👍
from Oklahoma Dude Ranch, to Urban Cowboy...in 17 Minutes. Great Work...they Look Stunning...!

😂😂😂 Love the blown tire analogy!
Amazing refurb job! Sooo much better than off the shelf Fryes.
I can't believe, I mean I can because it's you guys but I can't get over how beautiful they turned out. I mean, I'm no shoe expert but these look better than new
Thank you!
Didn’t know you could make boots that were in that bad of shape look that good.
Very good video.
Awesome work!! The soles finish looks like Bedo’s leatherworks. Great job guys!
man, this stuff is so relaxing to watch...as my wife is next to me watching a loud ass horror movie on tv. Great job on these videos! Thank you!
Those boots were worn down to the rotors. Beautiful restoration!
These came out great. Nice work.
That twisted wax thread is like a using a fender washer on a bolt to reinforce sheet metal.
love yalls videos first off , but have yall ever thought about doin a shoe resto and getting the customers reaction?? think that would be awesome , love yalls work keep the vids comin!!
Asking for a thumbs up before the video starts is like a waiter asking for a tip before serving you
She's going to be one happy cowgirl ! Looks like those boots are better than new .
Would you be able to change the heals on a pair of Toni Lama buckaroo boots ?
What a transformation, guys! The boots look gorgeous, arguably better than they ever have. I hope the owner is now motivated to care for them a bit better. Fingers crossed. 😊 Enjoy your weekend.
Thanks, Anthony. They turned out pretty good. Hope you have a weekend as well!!
Time to take those boots two steppin’.
Man oh man, I love myself a good pair of cowboy boots! Wonderful restoration on these guys :)
Thank you!
Diggin' your cast iron Star Nail Cup!
Miles and miles of use in the forecast for these revitalized boots. Nice job!

Great professional job! Always a pleasure to watch you guys work!

Hi Trenton & Heath. What is the advantages and disadvantages of using compressed leather compared to stacked?
Stacked leather can be repaired more easily!
I may just have to send my cowboy boots to yall to get the soles repaired. I've been looking for a place to resole them for the past year.
Beautiful work.
I think its nice you remind us to press like, because I forget to do it. Excellent work, by the way! That will be one happy customer! :D
Thank you, Karina!
Quick question for the experts: I clean my boots every other week with saddle soap, and then slap on a coat of mink oil. Is that too much? Am I harming the leather by cleaning it too often? Thanks guys, great video as always.

The owner should be very happy with the quality of boot repair she got and also the upgrades, great job on those boots.
Thank you!
Nice to see some Frye boots on here. I had assumed that nobody liked them enough to ever repair them.
Cool video. It makes what to get some leather boot conditioner and put some on my boots
Thanks, Glen
Beautiful job! You always impress.
A great job on the rebuild, just wish you would list the cost.
It is a shame how poorly the owner took care of her boots. On the other hand, it was nice seeing how good a job you did restoring them. Great work.
You guys do some amazing and incredible work. Thank you.
Usually if the welt stitching goes all the way back to the heal and there's no pegs in the arch, it's a cheaper made cowboy boot.
Nice job, hard to believe someone can wear the soles of a pair of shoes/boots to that level, truly amazing. Curious if you guys don't double grove the stitching channel to put the stitches a bit lower and give the sole a bit more life before stitches start getting worn away?

Trent, when you used the brown polish on the boots, do you need to avoid getting it on the stitching to keep it from turning brown?
If the stitching and welts are also brown, it’s okay to use the brown cream on it. It’ll also provide a bit of conditioning to the welts. If the stitches are white, or another color, I use neutral cream along the edge.
