Those boots look amazing. I have about a 1in discrepancy between my left and right legs after a motorcycle accident. I do not want to wear one boot with an extra thick sole, but that means being able to fit in an orthotic. I have tried wearing regular boots but the bridge across the top of the foot is really tight. I even tried getting leather softener and some shoe trees to try and stretch it out, but it's still super tight. Do you have any recommendations for either high quality boots that would accommodate tall orthotics or any suggestions for getting regular boots to work?
nice touch with the reinforcement for the gemming! did you rewelt just for this? or also a cleaner look on the sole stitching? and do you use a softer leather for the filler than the shank or why is it two different pieces?
I’d love to see you guys take a pair of Thursday presidents, and upgrade all of the materials in the insole to real leather, ditch the cork for veg tanned leather, and add gussets in the tongue, with dainite outsoles. Pretty much upgrade the parts of the boot that they went cheap on with leather. I have a pair of those shoes, love them, and want to do all of that work to upgrade them when a resold is due.
We are going to eventually make a sister brand to Rose Anvil so that we can sell that stuff without social media companies tanking our accounts. It’s a joke
@@channelchannelchannelchannelthis is ridiculous. I'm about as anti-gun as you can get, but to then see a business in a country where they make such a fuss about being all about free business and enterprise, and with such abhuge demographic of lawful gun owners, that an artisan shop can't feel free to cater and advertise ostensibly quality goods to a potential customer base for fear of repercussions is so silly. Not like they're selling the guns themselves, and to just anybody. If I don't want a gun in my life, it sure as hell won't be a leather strap what pushes me over the edge. So sad to see these guys working hard to then have to jump around such things - all as a joke, obvs 😏😒
I found this interesting to watch , it is an art ! ❤️ We had a shoe repair shop in our neighborhood for over 50 years ! It closed and is greatly missed in our community ! I truly would be a golden opportunity for someone who wants to get into that field ! Much like a Tailor shop we all appreciate that has been in our community for so long !
Those do look slick. I dig em. And i definitely would not want to lace up an entire 8" boot at 5am before getting out of the truck for work, so definitely love the speed hooks for even a 6" boot
You lost me when you added the pockets, but the mschined brass speed hooks are definitely an upgrade. I really don't understand why they're not made with them.
Because when you tighten speed hooks they pull the leather and make it bend sideways when it is supposed to pull straight in. I have these and a pair of iron rangers with speed hooks. They aren't near as durable and give less control of the tension around the boots. That's why they haven't gone to them from the factory.
probably because the legacy part is that its the same boot from 1952. the new 10877 work boot version has some slight changes, mainly just different color eyelets, so they might eventually go to a speed hook but the legacy boot hopefully will never change.
Ive been bookbinding for about a year and a half and its so cool to see some similarities between books and boots, you guys even used a bone folder here :D
I did some bookbinding back in college when I worked in the library conservation and preservation lab. I LOVED using the bone folder. But also binding a book from scratch is just so satisfying. I’d love to get back into it one day.
I really like the cobbling videos. I think it might be neat if you made an "Appocalypse Resole" video, and resole a boot with a piece of tire rubber like you guys described as possible for the ND3. Lots of YT cobblers putting Dr. Soles on boots, I'd love to see a boot resoled with a truck tire or a dairy stall mat or something.
This was an outstanding modification, I wish redwing would just offer this type of stuff on their site and in stores, some sole options on the heritage stuff would be cool, built to order would be a great option
I’d like to use one of those neck straps as a belt. I think I could make a simple hook fixture, could look pretty cool. Especially the raw vegetable tanned one, as it ages.
these look SO good 👍🏾 I just picked up a pair of Rockrooster boots after the Moctober review a while ago. I was almost on my way to return them unfortunately because of my wide feet and how snug they felt. I wanted them to work so bad though! I googled "cobbler near me" and they were able to stretch them for me AND I asked for recommendations for an insole and BOOM they had a leather one on deck! With that being said, can we see you guys do THAT boot??! I was actually just searching for lace alternatives and now you guys just blew my mind. Thanks from the past and in advance 😂
This channel is insanely good! Just stumbled over it, didn't even know about it, even though I'm an avid watcher of the other channels. Really hope to see more on here!
Videos like this inspired me to do my own diy cobbling. So far its easily been the most productive thing I've ever done in my underwear on the couch while watching tv 😂
I got a pair of 875's and tried my best, I just can't live with how narrow they are. Now I have a $375 pair of boots I'll probably never wear again. I even tried a boot stretcher to widen them which helped but they're still just too narrow.
That was an beautiful rebuild, I love seeing boots recrafted. How about a worn red wing 875 recrafted with a black cristy sole, leather midsole and colored stitching?
@@RoseAnvilBuilds any thoughts about start offering this service as a "surprise box" where we ship you something and you make it better using just your creativity?
The aesthetic of the EDC pockets would be enhanced by a double row of stiching I think - especially on the inside pocket. And what about an embossing to boot ( no pun intended ... ) 😁
I love that you link the tools, but you should at least tell where or how you get the materials too. I have no idea where you get those extra thick mud soles or leather filler material
For the leather midsoles and filler material, I usually go to local leather supply stores. I have found that unless you order in bulk, buying leather online is generally more expensive. The Dr. Soles outsole they use in the videos are very cool, but they are sourced from Taiwan, and from what I have seen they only do like DHL premium shipping, so a set of $15 outsoles has a $40 shipping fee. So maybe hitting up a local cobbler to buy from their supply is a good idea. That’s how I was able to track down some vintage biltrite outsoles for a pair of redwing pecos I resoled.
So I’m a converted suspenders wearer.. 39yo… and won’t look back to belts/waist tourniquets… your camera harnesses look like they’d be amazing as suspenders.. could I use it as such or are there plans to make those into suspenders as well? Love your vids!
Looks awesome! It would be neat to see some budget logger boots (Silverado, Carolina, Georgia, Red Wing, and maybe the Gravel Gear one from Northern Tool) get rebuild with leather insoles, midsoles, leather welts, and decent outsoles (not necessarily Vibram branded). I’d like to see if any of those is realistic to buy as an entry level GYW boot, use for work, then pay to upgrade them into the next level of GYW boots. If it would cost $250 to do that, then it wouldn’t make sense even with 3 additional resoles possible from it. If it can be done for about the cost of the boot, then it could be feasible. Just a thought. Thanks for the great content 👍
Beautiful work!!! Rose Anvil has inspired me to upgrade my existing boots. Currently I'm working on making a 2003 pair of Dr Martens usable again (the lasting boards are worn out and the soles are slick) but to make it as easy as possible, I'm dropping in everything through the top without cleaving the soles. My grand idea is to make insoles from full grain leather with carbon fiber (to add support and simulate a shank) insoles on bottom with cork sandwiched in between. For right now, I dropped in KO Zoom Air insoles from Ali Express which match any Zoom Air shoes I've had.
I just had this amazing idea. You know how Ford, GM and Dodge sell trucks that are not finished to companies which turn them into school buses, etc.? You should just buy unfinished uppers and finish them yourself. I will buy the first pair from you. There must be a market for that. Great videos on your channels.
Weston, much respect. Your camera harness was the first thing to bring you into my awareness and I've been watching you create and innovate ever since. Love the new design and vehemently agree, that most solutions to what ails you, can be found in nature or the mimicry of. As a side note, every time I see the words Horween or Chromexcel, your face flashes in my mind. Second, thank you [Skilled Hands] for upgrading these bad boys. Color combo makes sense (especially given where I went to school) and overall, you crank that dial up to 11 once again. Kudos. Envious of the tools every go around and looking forward to the flow becoming even more effortless. Lastly, did you spray the sole with water before sewing? Your machine seemed a little...hesitant.😅

some think its more rugged. but actually the filler plays no role in the integrity of the construction. plus a cork filler normally is more comfortable and insulating
Put your questions here about this boot/process/material choices and I’ll answer them in the unboxing vid on Rose Anvil 2 channel!
One good question I saw was, “why leather filler instead of cork?”
Those boots look amazing. I have about a 1in discrepancy between my left and right legs after a motorcycle accident. I do not want to wear one boot with an extra thick sole, but that means being able to fit in an orthotic. I have tried wearing regular boots but the bridge across the top of the foot is really tight. I even tried getting leather softener and some shoe trees to try and stretch it out, but it's still super tight. Do you have any recommendations for either high quality boots that would accommodate tall orthotics or any suggestions for getting regular boots to work?
I was curious about the type of leather used as the filler, if it was full grain and roughed or what.
nice touch with the reinforcement for the gemming! did you rewelt just for this? or also a cleaner look on the sole stitching? and do you use a softer leather for the filler than the shank or why is it two different pieces?
I’d love to see you guys take a pair of Thursday presidents, and upgrade all of the materials in the insole to real leather, ditch the cork for veg tanned leather, and add gussets in the tongue, with dainite outsoles. Pretty much upgrade the parts of the boot that they went cheap on with leather.

The sole and pockets make it unique esthetically beautiful and comfortable at the same time.
Thanks for the ASMR and not playing some annoying music. Very relaxing and satisfying.
I like this style of video. No talking, and just some captions.
I want the camera strap for a rifle sling
He was saying they cant sell anything advertised for guns because youtube would demonitize them

I love the way these look. I wish more moc toe boots looked like these and had all the functionality of them as well
Damn. DAMN. Those are so disgustingly sick with the new half sole. Green...like I am, with envy. I think I'll grab one of those knife pocket kits.
This is a great guide as someone looking to resole their own boots, thank you!
Those do look slick. I dig em. And i definitely would not want to lace up an entire 8" boot at 5am before getting out of the truck for work, so definitely love the speed hooks for even a 6" boot
For SURE! speed hooks are an absolute necessity on any height boot. I choose my boots over my regular running shoes because they have speed hooks.
Those boots were bad ass to begin with. You guys made them legendary by the end. Best pair out there!!
Love the military aesthetic the green sole gives these!
You lost me when you added the pockets, but the mschined brass speed hooks are definitely an upgrade.
I really don't understand why they're not made with them.
Precisely!

@@RonnieStanley-tc6vi That has not been my experience at all.

Because they are made for working on steel not for fashion.

Hey that neck strap seems like it would work well for guitars too. Seems to be quite a versatile accessory!
You read my mind
Boots and Guitars 👍
The neck strap is intriguing. I thinking of other uses for it too.
"Rose-Anvil-fied" ... Nicely done... BIG UPs!

hihi, I'm waiting for your video on how to clean 877 properly, thx a lot
Absolutely beautiful
Those look awesome!!!!!
Love the build. Personally would have gone with a different outsole, but overall awesome boots. The boots look much better without the wedge.
Love the idea of pocket kits, brilliant.
That pocket is something I was going to try on my iron rangers with a cold steel bird and trout
Beautyfull craftmanship 💪

Yeah, the 23 last is narrow and tall. Not sure whose foot it was designed to fit?
Wow. Incredible. Lots of fine motor skills at work there. Looks sooo much better. What a great job. Thanks for the video!
Those are so spectacular
The camera strap is beautiful looking. You should make a bracelet like that if possible.
Hey! Nice to see the green outsole from @DrSole of Taiwan
WOW 😯 that was long badass hair.
That olive dr sole half sole is dope
That looks so good

I dig it! The sole looks sleek and not bulky! Great job!
These videos are so freakin Zen😂
Long hair Weston was a trip.
beautiful work
These came out awesome
They do look a lot better, I much prefer a leather stack sole, never been a big fan of a huge wedge sole
Nice parkway drive shirt I just seen them in concert at apocalypse fest !
The aesthetic of the EDC pockets would be enhanced by a double row of stiching I think - especially on the inside pocket. And what about an embossing to boot ( no pun intended ... ) 😁
What a great idea,to make the filler out of leather instead of cork.
Dr Sole! I like that
nice ❤ The pocket should be stamped with your logo!
Immensely satisfying to watch, thank you! 🙌🏼
I wish they were available like that in the store
Good job!
I love that you link the tools, but you should at least tell where or how you get the materials too. I have no idea where you get those extra thick mud soles or leather filler material
Good idea, maybe we will start carrying a small amount of parts and components
And Cork

I would love to change out the wedge sole on my RedWings for a midsole/outsole similar to that. Nice work!
Awesome build! Truman Boot build? I think that'd be awesome
I love the upgrade. So much better. What's with the wedge soles in general? I don't get it. Anyway, much better. Just not sure about the green...
Great video team, fantastic to watch and a wonderful outcome. Well done.
If Nicks ever made a GYW boot, it would be this lol. The speed hooks is a must on that boot. Keep making these vids!!!!
Not only speed hooks, but proper machined brass speed hooks and not those crappy bent ones that I refuse to ever live with again.
That was a cool video. I will say though that those look strange with a heel on them. I'm so used to seeing the wedge.
Those are some meaty soles now. Same with the speed hooks - those are the good ones. Nice work!!
So I’m a converted suspenders wearer.. 39yo… and won’t look back to belts/waist tourniquets… your camera harnesses look like they’d be amazing as suspenders.. could I use it as such or are there plans to make those into suspenders as well? Love your vids!
Nice work! How do these boots feel differently with the heel, shank and new midsole compared to the wedge sole? Thanks
Awesome, love this ❤
Much better now! Never cared for the wedge sole.
Nice I like that. I think my Iron Rangers would look good like that also
Looks awesome!

Great video as usual. Im guessing they removed the original welt to stitch the linen layer to the new one?
BTW it's *separate, not seperate.
Love to see a danner
Alternate title, adding $500 in labor to an expensive boot.
But they look sharp with your carharts rolled up all nice and neat when you’re walking around the city lol
sewing the outsole together might be a good idea, but the stitch is now exposed, wouldn't that be a problem? Water Resistency or wear on the stitches?
How about a rifle sling, made out of the leather links?
