I was watching another cobbler resole some boots and they used an inch of foam to build it up and then sanded a large amount of exess very, very aggressively. It made me so nervous! This video was much less anxiety inducing.
Great job 👍🏼 The Sierra soles on top of the Cristy sole look pretty good, but I think it would look better if it was trim down like you were saying they would look even better.
I’ve been wearing my Belleville (usmc stamp)boots with the 1276 sole since ‘06 and can’t seem to find the correct color name for the sole let alone availability. It’s olive/sage. Idk where you’re located but I’d be glad to mail you the pair to repair.
I want to put the Vibram Sierra on my Thorogood Mocs. Just like you did, BUT, I want the exact same thickness of the foam sole from the toe all the way back to the heel. Don't know if you ever get requests for "zero drop" boots/shoes. This would require grinding off a bit more of the original wedge sole in the heel area. Could you, Would you do that????
Great chanell wish i had a good cobler around hear i were nice expensive hard to break in boots id live to get my summer redwings worked on ive had them 6 years doing tree work and iron work but took a year to fit like a glove
Thank you! You could always mail in your repairs to us but if you would like to let me know the city you are in maybe there might be a good cobbler at least within your state that I can help you get in contact with.
Interesting comments about heat. I leave my oil tanned, and CXL natural leather boots on my 2FL balcony deck all the time. The sunlight and heat from the sun seems to do the leather justice. The patina that comes out of the natural leather is gorgeous, IMHO. No problems with the soles. I guess the Goodyear welted stitching is doing what it is supposed to do? I am not disagreeing with you. I can see how additional heat can harm this type of sole, which is glued on.
How can I get ahold of you to resole my Danner bullruns. I want to go with something other then wedge. Lmao never mind you addressed how I can get ahold of you at the end. Thank you
I cant find what Last The Thorogood moc toe Boots are made around if you know that would be great. Red wing has it on their webcite not sure why they dont.
As someone who wears boots daily, I've never understood the whole Moc Toe thing. They seem very popular but I've worked concrete construction and they wouldn't last.
Have a pair of Asolo Fugitive Gtx. The bottom sole is in good condition but the cushion part is breaking/crumbling apart. Anyway to reuse the bottom sole/tread and just replace what's the problem? I have yet to find someone who has the stock sole, so I would like to keep it since its good.

Side note...i had a pair of new never used sears diehard work shoes about 20 yrs old...stored in closet...the soles totally degraded sitting in closet..i wore recently and the soles just crumbled to nothing in 2 hrs....why is that?...
Those soles had dry rot kick in. Happens with a number of rubber soles that aren’t being used. The structure of the rubber hardens and when it finally bends the just fall apart. The military boots your talking about tend to do the same thing and usually cost isn’t worth recrafting
I never knew you could add that vibram sole to the crepe sole. You teach use something new with each video. Great informative video as always.
Great job and I love that he's working in flip flops.
Thank you ..nice to see people in a real craft trade
Pro tip: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Frederick Reece yup, have been using Flixzone for years myself =)
Good craftsmenship and bad ass shirt, pro gun cobbler hell yeah 🤙

Love the shirts man. Subscribed
I have Irish Setter Wing Shooters, When I needed new soles I had them replaced with Vibram stars and bars it made a good boot a great boot.

Yes they definitely would. The gentlemen wanted it a little thicker though witch is actually a very common request when doing it this way

Nice job! If you are familiar with Rocky Outback boots I am curious if they can be resoled. Any thoughts?

Those soles have another 4-5 months left in ‘em!! I wear mine until they’re literally polished flat lol. No, I don’t have foot or back pain.
I have these boots just got them. They are very comfortable but the leather is extremely thin
reconditioning of such boots would also be a great video ;).
Love that dark green one

Damn that looks good!
Your profession is well represented. Glad you aren't a professional videographer.

Great Shirt!!!
What glue / contact cement are you using ? Great video and thanks !
Jet Set and renia are the 2 main ones we use

Are Vibram Sierra soles loud on pavement when walking?
As someone who wears boots daily, I've never understood the whole Moc Toe thing. They seem very popular but I've worked concrete construction and they wouldn't last.
Can you redo the soles on my Thursday crepe sole with the vibrams?
Shoes, boots, saddles, chaps?...do you work on a leather teddy?
For example if you did had to redo the welt plus the mid sole and vibram sole.How much would it be for a job like that?
Sir...what would be the cost and time for that particular repair. Thanks for sharing.
This pair ran $90 and we would ask for 1-2 weeks
Can I resole my 90* sole with a wedge style sole?

The original soles are a tough one to come across for a lot of Cobblers. We don’t stock them either unfortunately at this time
You would not think it economically viable to re-sole these boots. I am glad they are to be honest, pointless sending something useful to land fill.
Properly broken in work boats are better to rebuild then to buy a new pair even if it’s more expensive
Where can I buy these sole?
Please tell me, where does one go to get a resole? I live in Iowa
Does the dry rot happen on a particular sole material?...ive got shoes way older than 20yrs old..in closet that are still fine...
Yes it’s a large number of factory soles out there but a hand full that you’d good rubber soles like Vibram don’t tend to have that problem

Would you recommend Carolina boots? I am looking at a 6" Carolina moc toe boot.
They are a good build for sure
I love mine all I buy
Can u resole with recycle car tire
Έλληνας είσαι? /Are you Greek? I like your T-Shirt!
No I’m not but I like these tactical shirts that tend to have the Greek writing on them

Hydriolisys
Do you do Blake stitching?
Yes but 9 out of 10 pairs I get in are good year welted
The used sole didn't look bad
Have you any experience with Frye prison boots?
I work on so much boots that I don’t recall but if you want to email some photos that would help.
@@CobblersPlus that would be great. What is your email? Thanks
3:20 Tan 499/olive Mojave’s vs sage green. I guess.
You need to updated the address stated on your pdf repair form. I shipped my boots using that old address……..
Is this possible with Ugg Setons?
Yes it’s possible to do
Cobblers Plus Inc. Thanks, will give it a go!
