Going to resole my meindl shoes my self this time it will be the fourth time they get new soles and after 25 years they still are in good condition after the new soles offcourse thanks for the lesson perfect video
Great job mate! ...My grandfather was a shoemaker .. (Childhood memories of an ancient Singer shoe sewing machine, the smell of leather and glue! :) ...Greetings from Poland !
This is by far the best meditation video out there!! Calm Relaxing Purposeful Outstanding craftsmanship Our hands should never be take for granted! Wish there was such craftsman here in Hawaii. Our mountain/ hunting boots last about a season. There’s just something about leather craftsmanship
Very nice! I just sent my Meindl boots, almost identical model, into a cobbler here in the states for the same repairs. Great to see what will be done! Thank you for your craft and for sharing it!
Great job! Just had my Meindl Borneo's resoled for the 3rd time.. I should get a new pair..but they go on and on..and have worn in beautifully I can't bare to part with them..
Fantastic... You made those boots look brand new... I have a pair of meindl german army mountain boots... Which I stored for a year... The sole has started to delaminate.. I'm gutted loved those boots... I'll have to see if I can get them replaced....
Hi, lovely job, well done, it was a pleasure to watch 👍 👌 I've got combat boots that I bought vibram montagna block soles for and got a local cobbler to do glue them, I use them as motorcycling boots, but they said that they're the wrong soles but they could sell me the correct ones for an extra fee, I agreed and they did them but I've had to go back to them numerous times to get them to glue them again and again, I'm fed up now and just want to know which is the best glue to use for them so that I can relay this information back to them because I'm not sure whether they're experienced enough to use the best glue, as we all love a bargain, they might be using the wrong glue, but yeah...I also find that the soles they sold me are very soft compared to the montagna block soles I've got and they seem to wear down very quickly too... I mean, I've glued some soles before, it took a while for me to find the best product that worked but as these are hard wearing boots being used on a motorcycle maybe they need a more hard wearing glue possibly?
hi glad you liked watching my video. Regarding the glue and the sole you are talking about, it is difficult to advise. Please send me pictures and I will take a closer look
That was so satisfying to watch you do make it look easy can i ask how much that service would cost with the Vibram sole on that particular pair of Meindl s i uk in 2024 as i am finding it hard to find a skilled cobbler in my area. Your skill is second to none ✌️
Hello mi friend, thank you for showing your skills. It's great to think that they are people who are skilled in field. Thank you for your time an sharing. 👍🔥🇬🇧
Me imagino el dueño de esas botas al tenerlas de vuelta por varios años más, excelente trabajo, que lastima que en mi país no se vean ese tipo de trabajos, se te gastaron las botas y a la basura nomas, no se recuperan…
Excellent work! You've inspired me to resole my old Berghaus Storm Attak hiking boots. I liked them so much that I wore out the soles on two pairs and fortunately they're both in the garage awaiting to be resoled one day soon. What was the material used for the black welt? Rubber, foam? Who knows, if I do a good job on these I might even attempt my old steel toe Doc Martens. Thank you very much sir!
Could you tell me are you using a rubber solution on the insole as it looks like it's fibre glass.also .does the vibran unit come already with a middle as I have not seen them in the UK..thank you .by the way .Fantastic video
Wow...! They came up better than new. Awesome job - excellent work You have a pure skill and I hope business is booming for you.😎👍 Do you repair / return to UK ? Keep up the good work
How do you recommend I store my hiking boots for a few months without destroying the Polyurethane midsole as I've read this is really bad for the boots can I put rubber protector on them to help prolong this... Any help is much appreciated I have to many hiking boots lol....

Bonjour vous vous trouvez où j'ai une paire de chaussures de chez meindl a refaire aussi je voudrais vous faire travailler vous faites un super boulot merci
Those Meindl boots are Amazing for walking , Warm ,comfortable and 100% waterproof . but the Elephant in the room is the Cost to resole I bought what looks like the same pair of very slightly worn Meindl German Army Mountain Boots 4 weeks back ( the best walking boots ive ever owned for £59.00 with a tiny bit of wear on the corner of the heal. Mending Shoes and Boots is a trade and a skill a lively hood and is not going to to the job for £20 , Sure the Vibran Units can be picked up for a tenner wholesale but the overall cost of the job must be £50-£65 ? unless the footwear cost well over £ 100.00 to buy isn't it false economy to get them mended when there are several army surplus shops that sell grade A Meindl boots
Not really. It's not solely (pardon pun) about the money. It's prolonging the life of a well made product rather than throwing it away. Also if you paid the retail price for a pair of Meindl Island actives then getting a few extra years from them with a resole seems like a reasonable option.
Beautiful work! I have a pair with the same sole construction I was worried I couldn’t get them resoled. Glad to know that someone can do the job exquisitely. I wish I was back in Sweden to bring you my boots. Its a beautiful country I really enjoyed my stay there. Finland and Norway were very nice too lots of great memories.
Pas mal, mais j'aurais posé plutôt une vibram "Foura PU", qui est la pièce d'origine sur ces Meindl Island. Après le collage à la PU risque de ne pas tenir à la chaleur...
vad kostar det att byta sulor på kängona? har ett par mendl som ena sulan har börjat släppt i hälen på. eller finns det något bra lim som går att använda? tack på förhand
@@Skoservice Congratulations and thank you very much for sharing ! One question : Why did you choose to put an EVA sole in place of a PU one ? (I think I guess...)
I'm 40 years in this business now retired. Don't be cheap pay him what he ask if you want good work and materials trust me he knows what he's doing here. If you think you can diy this at home your sadly mistaken your just wasting your time and money and your work will not hold up it will fall off or peel off without properly laminating it.
These where the worst brand of boots I was unfortunate to have ever bought. The rotted from the inside out. Meindl didn't want to know. Never again well buy this brand.
