For anyone wondering, Tecovas makes the Bandera, cowboy boot with a vibram work boot / rubber sole. I love mine, though they are round toe only at this point, I'm guessing this guy wanted the square toe style specifically. I once worked with a guy who had work soles put on a pair of mexican alligator boots, this video brought back that memory and gave me a chuckle.
Yall should make a compilation of all the cork spreading, you'll get 1 million views just from the AMSR crowd. It's honestly so satisfying to watch and hear. That sizzle of the iron, the smooth surface left behind... Lovely.
Yeah...I see videos of people using up scrap sheet cork or hammering full pieces of sheet cork into the depression and tears away the excess. You're not going to convince me one isn't any better than the other.
@@TrentonHeath Are one of you more generous with the cork than the other or have you pretty much got that down? I agree with the cork and iron thing ThrowingItAway mentioned being relaxing, but a whole video on cork spreading (sounds like an SNL bit) might be too much.
Thanks for the detailed explanation about the welt change out - I thought the original was in great shape but once you explained those double stitches, that would have been tricky.👍
With a double row stitched welt, if they were my boots I think I'd've opted for a leather sole with a Vibram half sole stitched. But, his needs might be such that the rubber sole promotes longevity in the environment he'll wear them in. Nice to see that level of quality in a shelf stocked boot. You fellers did that boot justice with that remake. And, yup, love my Napa Creme.
I have been subscribed for a while and lurked even longer. I don't even care about boots and shoes, but I am a huge fan for masters of their craft. That being said, I now take pride in my boot, shoe and even leather coat care.
Great job on these boots! I like them a lot. Leather soles on cowboy boots are good and bad. You must determine the purpose. I have a nice pair for church. I have an Ariat work boot version for ranch work, mud, and general purpose working conditions. Lots of rubber and grip. Rubber soles will not work for the dance floor. Leather? You will do well.
What a great look! Have never seen a pair of cowboy boots with a lug sole, so the uniqueness of this makeover is great. You will probably get more such requests in the future. Great job, gents! And happy weekend to you and and all. Enjoy! 🤙🤓
Hey guys this was another example of how to do it right. This pair of boots came out outstanding. The owner is going to love them. Thank you for sharing.
I like the Vibram soles on the Tecovas Banderas boots. So if people don't want to replace leather soles with rubber then look at the Ranch line in Tecovas.
I have the same pair or “Docs” Tecovas. They are made of Bison. I can see where they might want a little better sole. My boots are gorgeous with leather soles and wear the 2-3 times a week to work. Absolutely love them.
Hi, im looking to get these exact The Doc boots, but will be ordering online. Just wondering if they fit true to size or if they run bigger or smaller? Since you own a pair, I thought I'd ask... thanks!!
@@robertmatas4192 Tecovas says they run big but I found that they were perfect for me and I’m a 10&1/2 EE. If you can I would say to try them in a store first. Now they are hand made so they can slight differ from boot to boot. You can return them if they don’t fit, but they can not be scuffed up on the bottoms.
Man, I really like those! I have two pair of the same Thursday Desperados. I think the ones I'm knocking around with I'll have that done to them when the time comes.
He could have gotten the exact same boot with a rubber sole for the same price he got these for. BUT the oem sole on the other one is much heavier. You guys put a quality sole on it that's much lighter than the other pair sold by Tecovas. Good Job
Dear Trenton and Heath. Thanks for your videos. I've noticed that a lot of shoes that you get are hardly ever worn. Would be nice to see some complicated repairs on obliterated shoes like the 80 years old shoes and the Red Wing shoes (and if the customers are willing to pay for it). I feel like viewers learn more from those kinds of videos.
I would like to see a video where y’all go buy a common pair of work boots, like Justins or something and tear them down to compare quality after watching y’all videos I’m really curious about what’s inside common work boots
Nice video. Thank you for the detailed explanation about the changes you made to these cowboy boots. They certainly look different. I will check out your ladies sandals at Southern Polished.
Thanks for the reply. I love Tecovas. I have 4 pair and they have been great. I hear negative comments sometimes from old school Lucchese fans, but I think Tecovas are every bit as good. Love your videos and watching the craftsmanship. Best Wishes.
I own 2 pairs of Tecovas Dean and they're some fine looking boots. Right after I purchased them, I had a cobbler put Vibram sole protectors on the leather soles. These are some high quality boots in my opinion.
I have that exact pair of boots how funny. Looks great. Very cool Conversion. I have another pair that I use for work that are much more heavy duty but this is interesting
I have an old pair of hiking boots with Vibram soles from the 70s and the problem is the soles have separated would getting them resoled be worth the cost thank you I enjoy watching your program
I don’t know what it is you guys are just drawing me into this fascinating I’m trying to get my friends to watch but they think I’m nuts I’m still gotta watch anyway
I was thinking of putting a vibram mini lug on my goat tecovas! This video let me know that’ll look just fine and to go to you guys when I need it done
Beautiful work y’all, if he really wanted them beefyer y’all could of put on the Vibram 100 soles, I’ve done a few of those and they turn out beautiful and unique.
Was going to ask "At about 2:14, am I seeing things, or did they actually use *pegs* in attaching the soles?" Then I see at about 12:04 that *you're* putting pegs in. Didn't think any modern shoes/boots still used those! You guys always manage to find/do things I either never saw before or see so rarely it could almost be considered "never"...
First of all, great job as always. You were doing a welt race there. Secondly, for as well as these are made, the price is incredibly reasonable. There wasn't one thing I saw when you pulled them apart that wasn't top quality in materials and construction.
What kind of balm was that? I make leather wallets and I’m always looking for good natural products to use on them. Guys your content is awesome!!!!! My grandfather was a shoe maker in PA. So it’s really interesting to me.
Hi Trenton & Heath, I want to ask if u guys have any hacks for old shoes to give them another life. Let's say an old light brown shoes can be recolor using black shoe polish to darken them or whatnot. Thanks.
Thanks gentlemen for another great video. Really love the new resoles. I may buy me some Tecovas after watching this video. Have a great weekend. Thanks again.
Good morning guys. Even though the both of you wearing polos wasn't planned it was a good look for summer . Maybe work polos with a Potter and Sons logo isn't such a bad idea. Have a great weekend . 🙂
THANK YOU! Cowboy boots are all I wear and this is exactly what I do to boots with leather bottoms. I have yet to find anyone that can do a good job though. Mainly Lucchese boots though. How much would this job normally cost so I can compare to what I am being charged?
I'm interested as to why you put lemon wood pegs and nails? Also are they that hard of a wood to punch through the vibram sole? Lastly if you're using the pegs to keep the cowboy look, then why paint them black? Love the videos, you guys do amazing work.
Hey there! Your videos are super great and you guys do seriously awesome work! That said, you guys might want to think about using some music to play ‘during’ the work process throughout the videos as opposed to just the intro and outro! It really ads to the vibe and feel of the video etc! 👍🏼🥾👍🏼😊
Hi, I love your channel and the work you do. I learn a lot just watching your videos. I have a question: what do you do with the leather blocks, cork and anything you remove? Does it get recycled and reused? Thanks.
When your wife asked me to recommend you protect your hands, and I mentioned gloves, I mean the type a butcher would wear to keep a knife from penetrating through them and cutting you. They look like black plastic woven mesh. They prevent the knife or other tool from cutting you so, protect your hands. (Sounds like I am a hand protection officer.) It is just a matter of time and accident before your are disabled due to total disability work-related injury for lack of respect for the danger you inflict upon yourself. PS I love your work.
Question for you. Have you ever worked on Silver bull boots? Just wondering what you think of them. I do own a pair and I like how it is leather on the out side and inside. The sole is a bit odd though as the very back of the heel is lower then the rest of the heel. My understanding in why it is that way is to make it last longer as that is usually what wears out first.
As the son of a shoe repairman, Kleist's Boots and Saddles are no more my Dad liked and sold quality boots and would not have any thing to do with plastic foot wear except to put heals on women's shoes. So I ask you are Tacova boots made from leather both tops and bottoms?
On some boot repair videos, the cobbler uses a solid cork midsole. In this video, cork paste was used. What's the difference between the two methods? Advantages/disadvantages of each?
@@TrentonHeath Y'all probably don't believe this, but you guys are a Brand now. I would love a T&H logo more than a Tecova logo; and would not stop talking about your work.
Wonderful work guys. Question, I bought a new pair of boots, ( Tecovas Midland’s), and their rubbing the top of toes/ feet. Will the boots eventually stretch out and not hurt as much?
So, Im just wondering, one of the good thing of shoes with welts are resole-ability right? Whats the idea of having a double stitched sole then? If its down to ruggedness, shouldn’t a heavier gauge thread will do?
Awesome video guys, I’m hooked 😃. Btw any advice on stretching Thursday boots? Length wise they’re good it’s just the height on the toe that’s a issue. Thanks gents! 🙏
One of the most interesting to me so far! I just bought two pair of Tecovas and was wondering about having y’all put in the Montagna 100s in black and honey. Good to see the Tecovas quality and, as always, the excellent job y’all do!
why do the square toed cowboy boots use a double stitch when the round toes go with a single? i aske because i like the square toe but it always feels too boxy and maybe getting pair with a single stitch could help the aesthetics. Thank you for any advice
I got sum tecovas too but I would like the the insole to be hard leather insole instead of the cushioned leather insole could y’all make it into a hard leather insole for me ??

I’ve never been a cowboy boot guy, but can definitely appreciate the practicality of this conversion.
I totally agree with you. But that conversion i would wear.

Probably motorcycle riding boots.
Luv watching true craftsmanship 😊

The second I got these boots I had this idea. I’m waiting to wear through my soles first but happy to see how this turned out
👍

That sounds just like me. Although I am looking forward to getting my first pair of quality boots.
Awesome! Love the blue stitching on the soles to match the shaft. Looks amazing.
Never been a fan of the Tecova boots. I will still watch the videos cause I like these guys.
Great job on these boots! I like them a lot.

I have an Ariat work boot version for ranch work, mud, and general purpose working conditions. Lots of rubber and grip. Rubber soles will not work for the dance floor. Leather? You will do well.
I click on Trenton & Heath videos faster than party girls go to The Stage on Broadway.
😂
Thank you 😂
Indeed good sir
Haha!
Hey guy. Just to let you know. My buddies and I watch all of your videos. All the way through. Lol this is a new hobby for me. Keep up the good work!
I can taste the hot cork when y’all use that iron. Oddly satisfying to watch.
What a great look!
Have never seen a pair of cowboy boots with a lug sole, so the uniqueness of this makeover is great. You will probably get more such requests in the future.
Great job, gents! And happy weekend to you and and all. Enjoy! 🤙🤓
Thank you, Jon. Have a great one as well.
Hey guys this was another example of how to do it right. This pair of boots came out outstanding. The owner is going to love them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Sir
Artistas practicing their craft . From gentleman’s boots to man’s boots. Terrific job fellers.
I like the Vibram soles on the Tecovas Banderas boots. So if people don't want to replace leather soles with rubber then look at the Ranch line in Tecovas.

Man, I really like those! I have two pair of the same Thursday Desperados. I think the ones I'm knocking around with I'll have that done to them when the time comes.
I guarantee there are some folks out the that would have just glued on the rubber sole to the existing leather. I appreciate your craftsmanship!
😢
Painting the nails black to blend in with the new sole, amazing attention to detail.
This is sort of a mix of Tecova, Redwing, and Nicks features. Very cool.
I gotta admit, I was skeptical at first but they actually look better with the rubber soles! Awesome job fellas!
He could have gotten the exact same boot with a rubber sole for the same price he got these for. BUT the oem sole on the other one is much heavier.

They’re awesome boots!
Great Jon on converting these Tecova's to work boots
First of all, great job as always. You were doing a welt race there. Secondly, for as well as these are made, the price is incredibly reasonable. There wasn't one thing I saw when you pulled them apart that wasn't top quality in materials and construction.
I have two pair of Tecovas, I wouldn’t trade them for all the ariats made in China. The best boots I’ve ever owned.
I'm interested in mens sandals, excited to see what you'll have. Great video.
Yay the oatmeal is here!, Great video as always. 👏👏👏
All I wear is Tecovas! Same quality as other high end, handcrafted, Cowboy boots at a much lower price! Bout to buy my third pair.
They are awesome boots
it's always a great video when the canned cork is opened :)
Been looking forward to you guys doing another Tecovas boots video!
Thank you
Is putting the cork back in as satisfying as it appears to be? Its like watching somebody mow grass
😂

A double cork video!!! Thank you. 😃
This feller might want engineer boots. Leather soles all day!!!! Nice job you guys!
When work is turned into art , congratulations
Thank you, Jose
I want boot like thst but with crape wedge sole! Im a project superintendent need to look sharp here in TX but need comfort
Good morning guys. Even though the both of you wearing polos wasn't planned it was a good look for summer . Maybe work polos with a Potter and Sons logo isn't such a bad idea. Have a great weekend . 🙂

Should i go roughout or ostrich for my next pair 🤔

Hi boys. I like your work👍 and I have a question for you. How does the cork filling smell?😊
Hi! Unfortunately, it smells like burnt glue. 😉😁
One question that I need to ask. When you have finished a pair a shoes or boots can you tell who did what shoe/boot?
I do! I do like the work y'all do! Professional Craftsmanship!!!! Be Safe
Thank you, Rod
Wonderful work guys. Question, I bought a new pair of boots, ( Tecovas Midland’s), and their rubbing the top of toes/ feet. Will the boots eventually stretch out and not hurt as much?
So, Im just wondering, one of the good thing of shoes with welts are resole-ability right?
Whats the idea of having a double stitched sole then? If its down to ruggedness, shouldn’t a heavier gauge thread will do?
Just curious…did y’all save the materials that y’all took off?? Like sole and heal!!
When you're both working on a pair, and performing the same task, o e on either left or right...can you tell later who did which boot?
SO, I need a new pair of boots. They will need to be comfortable to stand at a CNC milling machine for 10 hrs a day. Recommendations?
Awesome video guys, I’m hooked 😃. Btw any advice on stretching Thursday boots? Length wise they’re good it’s just the height on the toe that’s a issue. Thanks gents! 🙏
You might try some “liquid stretch.”
I’ll give it a shot, thanks
I feel like I’m watching Nip Tuck, good video

Thank you
why do the square toed cowboy boots use a double stitch when the round toes go with a single? i aske because i like the square toe but it always feels too boxy and maybe getting pair with a single stitch could help the aesthetics. Thank you for any advice
I'd definitely buy a pair of Tecovas if they offered a sole like this.
They are now. The Midland.
always love seeing a new video in my sub box from you guys!
Thank you
Sorry if this already got answered, but how much did this cost for the customer?
I like the after look a lot better! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👍
love how they came out.👌👌
Your audio capture is really good.
