I thoroughly enjoyed this video brother!!! you did phenomenal work and I'm honestly proud to see you DIY'ing this and learning to be more independent with this type of work. I really love that you used Tokonole on the edges, I wouldn't have thought to use it on boot edges like that, but I use it on my bag edges so it makes sense! ONLY thing I would have done differently is at the 28:00 minute mark you crossed above the boot's upper with the paint brush while applying the black edge dye to the sole, I would have rotated the boot as to avoid risking spilling the black dye onto the upper. It doesn't make much of a difference because you didn't spill any, but I know from personal experience that stuff like that can go wrong occasionally!! Love your humility and approach to all this and I walk away from this having learned a TON. well done my man!!!
Oh dude! I realized that right away when I stopped filming and made sure I didn’t cross over the upper again haha. Thanks for watching the whole thing and I’m glad you learned something. I learn something from every video you do. Cheers my friend!
Also for the edge dressing, theres no need to tape rubber heels. Dyes don't really soak into them and any that does can be cleaned back with acetone in seconds
Ahh!! Okay I’m going to strip the one I got some bleed on with acetone then, I was worried maybe acetone would do something funny to the rubber but that’s a great tip, thanks so much
Absolutely awesome man! I love your videos, very cool stuff you're doing here, first with the OSB field boots and. Now with the whites! Love it man, please keep the videos coming 👍
Clinch are cool but I think the lasts are a little better with whites. From reviews I've read etc. it sounds like they just understand what makes a boot fit. I just don't think what you're making is a cheap copy; they're excellent!

Very professional. I think the way you handled the stitchdown portion nicely. So cool!
Thanks very much Nathan!

Thank you!! I agree I think whites has some of the best lasts in the game
did you order these from whites directly or from bakers?
Are these on the 5050 or mp last?
