All of the other boot repair sites I've looked at are nothing like Brian the Bootmaker. All of them just repair, but Brian also designs and hand makes his boots with a high level of craftmanship. It's no wonder he gets so many custom orders. And it's great to see someone from Los Angeles doing this (I grew up and live in San Diego, CA).
Er just WOW! Art imitating ART right there! Quite beautiful to watch a true artisan at work. Looks like some mad hybrid at the end! New Balance X Clarks collab in the future ? !
This re-sole is so much better than the original it seems to me that even a brand new pair of these running shoes would benefit from a workover by Brian.
Disagree. Although the reworked shoes were obviously done well, there is no way you could be running around town in those brogans. It would also cost a couple $$ for the work for a pair now with a value of < $.
I agree! I’m not a runner. I walk and do 4 - 100 yd sprints 3x a week on rough asphalt and alternate walks on gravel. These boot sole redo’s on running shoes looks top-notch to me!
I want to encourage your creative thinking and say that I appreciate you taking in crazy or unorthodox builds… they might trigger some people, but there sure is a display of your personality and work ethic… maybe stepping out of your element, maybe a little crazy- but not many people would even take on this for sooooo many reasons like: it’s not worth it, just get a new pair, or “we don’t work with tennis shoes”, or “it’s not gonna look good so I won’t do it” and so on… Keep doing what you do, make people happy, do the best quality you can and be happy with what you doing: we gonna watch you along the way anyway.
Ok.... that's a unique take on a pair of New Balance . While it might not be _my_ style, you've done an amazing job and added quite a bit of your own. Thanks for sharing this video. I'm glad you are back.
1. These videos are very relaxing to watch. 2. There’s nothing like watching a skilled person working their craft. 3. What do these type “refurbs” cost and what is lead time? 4. I’m wanting to buy new shoes and have these and vibrant soles I’ve seen in another video put on immediately 😀 Briavo Brian! Great work, great video quality.
My initial thought was... c'mon Brian, it's a trashed old sneaker. What's the point? Well... you breathed new life into them and they can be re-done again and again with the 360 degree welt you put on 'em. Look great! Fine work Brian.
Great details on this jobs. Customer was clear that he can not jog/run in this non any more? FYI in Mexico and Europe midsole and sole replacements for running shoes are available and are very affordable
Pero no quedo nada bien...es zapatilla..y el le iso como bota..le puso planta tipo botin...quedo feo y de seguro incomodo...muy alta la planta para zapatilla
The music tracks in order are: “Come Home With Me” Vendla (2021) “A Nightingale’s Journey” Wonder’s Trove (2021) “Svalbard” Julyan Brynn (2017) “Empty Sky” Wonder’s Trove (2021) “Haunted Heart” album; Dust & Daze, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn (2016) Great choices Brian🙏
Videos like this give me hope that my favorite pair of boots might actually be resoleable, even though Redwing says they don't resole the model I like.
Awesome re-soling job, as always. Enjoyed the video very much. However, the uppers as such are looking as if they may fall apart any second. I am just wondering why someone is spending a surely decent amount of money to get this beautiful job done on the soles, knowing that live span of these runners is coming to an end rather sooner than later.
youre exagerating! only the nubuck panels look damaged, and even those look great just like that...these are vintage 992s made in the us with high quality fabric and leather, stitching has held up, dont see any problems with that...
Making an old pair of sneakers more durable isn't just craftsmanship, it's talent. Nice & 😎.👍✌🤟 Note: Would like to see your version of the Adidas Superstars or puma Suedes.✌
Interesting, but I would have rather seen a video about the new stitching machine you bought several months ago or an update on your truck restoration.
A lost artistic trade...now that majority of things is made by robots...Brian keep the legacy going...I would like to see how I can find you so that you could fix two pairs of chukka boots...I really love the them, but the soles split or cracked and the other sole simply disintegrated...please let me know if you can fix both of my favorite chukka boots...thank you

This was outstanding to watch, a genius idea, executed to perfection. I'd love a pair like these.
ABSOLUTELY

Bonjour de France
Encore une agréable surprise sur cette réalisation
Thank you
So so interesting to watch! You are too much. I feel like rocking them. It's now, the new balance!

This is art ! Such a cool stylish result ! Thanks for the content Brian !
Ok.... that's a unique take on a pair of New Balance .
While it might not be _my_ style, you've done an amazing job and added quite a bit of your own.
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm glad you are back.
I wouldn’t wear the final product, but I LOVED the video! Awesome job!
You just set the bar! Mad skills, Brian!
I thought the color was ugly as hell till the end . Amazing job . I wish I could get a pair of these .
Glad to have you back. I'm fascinated with your videos of footwear repair.

4. I’m wanting to buy new shoes and have these and vibrant soles I’ve seen in another video put on immediately 😀
Briavo Brian! Great work, great video quality.
I’m sending over a new pair of NB’s just to get them re-soled. Love it Brian!
An amazing display of skill! Thank you for sharing .... so impressive!
Fantastic conversion Brian. Great job.
So glad to see you work on sneakers. Most excellent work.
fantastic concept and final job! you gave these 992s a 574 treatment with all the goodness of a high quality boot/shoe resole...
Great work Brian. Love your sense of style and proportion. Beautiful!
Beautiful! Dude, I will def send you my winter Converse at some point, I know you have the skills to leave them better than new!
Absolutely stunning!
Bravo!!!!
Un trabajo excelente.
Creativo y con una gran estética.
Puede haber un antes y un después de esto Brian.
Saludos desde Barcelona, España🇪🇸
One of my favorite sneakers. I must visit to order some boots. Thank you for sharing this rebuild.

Impresionante restauración, enhorabuena por tu talento, saludos desde España.
Pero no quedo nada bien...es zapatilla..y el le iso como bota..le puso planta tipo botin...quedo feo y de seguro incomodo...muy alta la planta para zapatilla
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 a true master👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That is the coolest thing I ever saw. I didn't know you could resole a sneaker, they look super comfortable . That looks like a lot of work though !
Damn I need a pair like this and some role clubs. You’re awesome dude!
Craftsmanship here is so incredible. Nice video to end a busy week
That was incredible! Thank you for sharing
They look fantastic 👍🏾❤️

That is awesome I dig it a lot great job!!!
Wow those turned out NICE !
Saludos desde Costa Rica!!! increible trabajo amigo!!! Cheers!
Fantástico like always, your work is perfect!
Exelente trabajo,felicitaciones
Bravo Brian!
I have a few pair of Role Club designs but honestly this is one of my favorites 🤣 Brian's amazing!
once again just perfect!!!
Like them much better than the original design. They look like a "tennis boot".
Also like the close up videography. Hope you gents have a fine day.
Super cool and unique!
Absolutely incredible another picaso artist level resole thank you for this amazing video
Videos like this give me hope that my favorite pair of boots might actually be resoleable, even though Redwing says they don't resole the model I like.
This is a full rebuild. Go to brian's website and fill out the form and send it in once you got his confirmation.
Cool, never thought that sneaker can be resole like that 😊😊👍👍
Excelente trabajo, tus videos son didácticos y relajantes. Un cordial saludo desde España
They came out fresh
Great work

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS.... WOW...
Truly a boot maker as you made a boot out of this sneaker resole.
ok, that's a bit different. Thanks for bringing us.
We got to name these bad boys???
1000 mile elotero shoes???1kmes for short
Woah... Nikes, New Balance... I wonder whos gonna send their Pumas, Adidas or Asics in?... good stuff! 💚💛❤👊
I would rock them! They look awesome!
First was Nike...now this ??.... Excellent man 👌
"The BooSneak" part boot part sneaker 👟 nice work as usual 👢
would have looked good with gray leather^^
nah the veg tan adds a nice contrast
Fantastic!
ok wow that was fricken cool. does the leather base make it a lot stiffer to walk on though?
Perfect Brian
Beautiful 👍👍👍
Amazing!!!
1) 5:18, what is that?? 2) is there a way of unyellowing the sole and the plastic inserts for a 992?
Appreciate you artisan!
Those look awesome!
Great work. One nitpick I have is that you damaged the darker parts of the upper quite a bit.
That’s not what I was expecting at all. Good work
Making an old pair of sneakers more durable isn't just craftsmanship, it's talent. Nice & 😎.👍✌🤟
Note:
Would like to see your version of the Adidas Superstars or puma Suedes.✌
Top made shoe!! Wonder why N doesn't make these like this...like the vid's !!
That is so cool!
This resole is on another level.
Absolutely love it. I wish I had those shills.
These are awesome.
This is the most I've lusted after a pair of sneakers in years. Problem is, if I had these, I wouldn't be able to bring myself to actually wear them!
I was waiting to enjoy the welt stitching, unfortunately was cut from the video, anyway great transformation and great work
Interesting, but I would have rather seen a video about the new stitching machine you bought several months ago or an update on your truck restoration.
Oh my, now they're better than new!
I bet the owner can't wait to turn that new crepe green in the lawn
😲 wow, so beautiful!
The nicest New Balance shoes ever.
Отличная реанимация! Жаль,не включен в видео весь процесс,а так-отличный результат!)
I would love to see this type of treatment and resole on a pair of Nike AirMax 90, fire!!!
He has a video like that, look at his most viewed
Have a pair a Wesco classics I should send in.
is New Balance November a thing now? Rose Iron just reviewed a pair
Really nice!
Très écologique bravo ! 👍
A lost artistic trade...now that majority of things is made by robots...Brian keep the legacy going...I would like to see how I can find you so that you could fix two pairs of chukka boots...I really love the them, but the soles split or cracked and the other sole simply disintegrated...please let me know if you can fix both of my favorite chukka boots...thank you
i love what you chose to do. pair of 990s next?
This is interesting, pretty sure I wouldn't welt a sneaker but it was fun to watch.
Those are cool, they remind me of the nike Cortez shoes
