Customizing FOUR pairs of Red Wing Boots! (9013, 8138, 9011, 4606)

- Starting out with the 9013's, (over $600) did a different version of a 360 welt style, added leather mid soles, 3 ribbed shanks, Dr. Soles soles and matching heels, added a wider welt so we could do double stitch, it turned out very cool. The 8138's ($325) was a do over, customer was not happy with the repair so we made it right to make the customer happy. the 9011's ($345)got a basic make over, took out the fiberboard heel rand, fiberboard mid soles and replaced both with leather, then added the 3 ribbed shanks and vibram 700 soles and heels. the 4606's ($585) was brand new boots but the customer wanted to make it his own style so we helped him out. Changed the 270 welt to 360 storm welt, 3 ribbed shanks, leather mid soles, vibram ethon soles, leather heel bases and matching heels, Big improvement.
I really can't imagine anyone being unhappy with your work unless they're just being unreasonable, which some people are. Results are excellent, great job.
Past that, the only thing that would make sense to me would be some form of miscommunication.
Double stitched welts can look a bit clownish on some shoes or to some people. Maybe it just didn't look good to the client. 🤷♂️
I love the personal aspects of your videos when you take a break to have coffee or visit with a customer or friend. Gives your videos a more intimate feel.
Broke my heart to see you take apart your own work, even if the customer didn't like it. I loved it. It was built to last..
I love the way Steve doesn’t have some obnoxious intro... just jumps right into the video! Awesome!
Man - I loved the red ones - before you spoke I was like why would you want to change them! 😊. Boots are made for wear & tear - why are they using paper….dang have they gotten cheap.
How about the “craftsman’s coffee cafe”? Or simply the craftsman’s cafe? Great work as always!! Craftsman’s coffee corner? Just thinking’. Lol😊
I like that you install the nails in the heel lift in a Star pattern … just like torquing head bolts… 👍🏼
HI, STEVE, HI, CHRIS!!! ❤
I don't know how I missed this one. Each of these looks superb. And I expect the round-toes feel so much better with mid-soles.
I agree with Kren; the lady whining about the red wedge sole is unreasonable.
everybody and their mom wishes they had those beckmans great video
Steve who does the maintenance and repair and all those fantastic vintage sewing machines you use?? There can’t be many people who can work on those!
Most of the time I do it, over the years you learn to adjust and tinker with them
Let’s get started!
Great work as usual. BCC Bedo's Coffee Club!!
Thumbs Up just for you Steve ! Cheers!!!
Let's continue 🤘
My favorite line! 😊
@@NJ-Cathie Great minds think alike 🌻🙌
Yes brotha this had it all. Four pairs of boots, birds, a Lou cameo, coffee with Chris, and some good old hammer time. Perfect for my 4am pre-work quiet time 👌🏻.
I note that this customer was so unhappy with the job you did on his boots that he gave you three more pairs to work on 😂
Polyurethane?? Great for suspension bushings, but caca for lug soles! (IMO). GREAT job! Amazing to watch you work.
I couldn't imagine stitching a whole welt on, I repaired about a 2-3" section of my work boots with thread and awl and man my hands hurt after that.
It's hammer time
Please grind the Mushroomed head off your nail set. I had a piece of a mushroomed punch break off and I lost an eye because of it. Nice job on the boots!
All the upgraded boots looked amazing. Sad to see cheap materials that the boot makers tried to get by with.
Come on Red Wing, you're not building a 199.00 pair of boots, let's use good materials! Amazing job Steve.

Great haircut. 12 months back my barber suggested i grow my hair long on the top of my head. Now at 68 yo i have a 0 round the sides and still growing the hair on top. Just like yours. A bit of fun for an old man.
Would love a demonstration of the stitch you used on the heel of the first boot Steve!
Finally, something worth watching. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
Another one that's all the way across the country from me, but at least you list pricing guides unlike some that I've seen.
I want to get one re-lasted and I know that will probably cost more than I really want to spend BUT I don't know exactly how to work out the fitting long-distance.
I think if I spend $300-400 it might still be cost effective.
Yeah, I had suspicions that RW are overhyped for current quality, but they don't hardly offer any models in my size that I would want anyway.
The multi unit repair videos are grand. Excellence in every aspect.
👍♥ Love the tips. Had a good laugh about not enough clay to make a handled for the cup. Enjoyed the Man Chat.
Absolutely impeccable work Steve!!! Hammer Time Bistro is LIVE!!! 📺 haha
I'm from Guatemala and love watching RUclips videos.
God bles you.
Stay positive protect all good people +
Steve great work. I was glad to see you working on Red Wings, they have changed since my first pair in late seventies, pull on steel toes boot of choice in Oilfield with lifetime warranty lasted till mid eighties, the second pair they changed to injected soles and only guaranteed the uppers to outlast the soles, by the mid nineties they had chunks in the sole and would not repair them, I bought my third pair because I always liked the ease of slip on boots, these new boots are the most difficult pair I have had to break in I’ve done the saddle soap and several rubbing in of Bricks 4 after heating them up and they are not the old Red Wings I wore for decades. My old boots got the treatment my dad taught me, stand in a tub of water till very wet then wear them until dry, then coat them in mink oil. The new boot are getting that treatment next I have only held off because they cost twice as much as my last pair. If you think this is a mistake maybe mention it in your next video. How about, Expresso Boost Time, you and Chris, cracks a me up, laughter is good for the soul! 😊
Lovely work Steve nice boots before but got made better at Bedo’s 👍some lucky guy is going to be very happy 😊
Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍
Finally Steve does some redwings!!!
Steve, awesome work as usual.
People, get yourself some Nick’s!
All the boots look good after the repair work has been done. The brown boots with the orange soles are an acquired taste but look pretty cool.

Thanks Steve and Chris , again, more great work Steve and a glut of “hammer time” 👌☕️☕️
Great job Steve all eight of them. Shine On
Yaaaay coffee time is back! Let's continue...
Great craft.
Beautiful job! I miss "just like that"
Nice video Steve! Hammer Time!
The usual quality of work you did on those boots is always amazing. Cheers.
1:35 to 1:42 there is a dabbling duck...black and orange and the first word is "AUTO 🦆 WORD"
It says "Auto Soler" and it's actually a red dot with a high heel shoe in front of it. It's like those pilot wings pin with the name across the top.
Good night Steve ,GREAT job in The NICE boots , congratulations ,regards from Spain🎩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Another great video. Love watching you work, especially when I've got my hotplate running in the background cooking up some DIY leather conditioner experiments - been mixing beeswax with various things link almond oil, cocoa butter, etc..., fun stuff!
Excellent 🎉
Thanks Steve. Great variety of boots to see. 🥾
Your beard is brilliant and fantastic work on all the boots. 💯🔥
Bravissimo 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 🍾
Hi Steve. I've been watching your videos for years. I stopped by years ago and gave you a mini tripod if you remember. I have a pair of Iron Rangers and love what you did with them. I have a question I've been curious about. What's the worst injury you've suffered while working on shoes? Have a great weekend, Steve.
I cut a chunk out of my thumb recently and put a 3" gash on my forearm. Thanks for the mini tripod, i remember
Hi Steve, I have an idea for your cafe's name, how about "Craftsmen's Coffee Lounge"?
I like it
Great job! Nice to see you standing behind your work.
You are the best master 🙏 one of my dreams is to work with you and learn to do this best way, like you do.
Thank you so much Steve i will support you and your chanel till the end Inshallah. Hammer time 🎉😂❤
Thanks for another great video Steve! Your craftsmanship and work ethic are inspirational, a great role model for aspiring craftspeople of all kinds.
great job, some of these models are discontinued
I like the looks of that Dr. Scholl's light beige sole/heel atop the leather. Almost hard to work in boots that look that nice when you're done with 'em. Welcome back to Chris, glad to hear he had safe travels.
Good job as usual Steve😊😊😊😊😊😊
Coffe time🎶🎶🎶🎶
Alright!!
I can't understand that company like Red Wing can be one of maybe 5 best shoe company's in the world, with little effort and still they don't take that opportunity.
I suppose, they work with rule: do least that you can and take most that you can, like 99.99% others.
Because of that we did have dream land of 50's with dreams of phenomenal future and today's plastic reality.
Beautiful work as always
very nice indeed, great workmanship!
nice job
Perfection as always 👍🏽👌🏽
Now you got that just right it hammer time 😊
Love my redwing iron rangers
Great as always
You are a wonder my love.
Nice work Steve! Why doesn't your (Rolex) watch face have any writing on it?
Awesome job!❤😊
How about just "Coffee Time".
Amazimg work beto +
Wonder if the original hammer time complainers are still here watching 😂
To be honest I'm not surprised Redwing is using inferior products to make their boots but changing the price of what it should be with higher quality products. Companies that used to be high-quality are now taking a lot of low-cost shortcuts but still charging a high-quality price.
For $350, I'm not surprised. True high quality would probably be closer to $500 a pair. I love watching Rose Anvil to really understand the pricing that goes into a shoe.
WoW!!!!!!!!!

Hej Steve
You said you would tell why the boots hade to be remade, but you "kinda" forgot to do so.
But to be honest i personly did think they whas totaly nice to start with..
Greedings from Denmark
I did explain it why he didn't like it, i didn't stitch it in the same holes that's why
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC tanks for the awesom videos and good humor
Steve Steve Steve! You have blessed us with soooooo much hammer time. You cured my depression 😂😊❤ #itshammertime 🔨
i'm glad i could help
*********Craftsman cafe**********
I just bought a new pair, first pair for me, of Red Wings. I bought the Iron Ranger (4606) but in women's. I'm a bit disappointed in a few points of construction. I can tell the shank is nearly nothing, the toe box is a bit tight (especially over the stitched section), and the foot bed is extremely flat. I've got space in the heel area and non in the toes.
I would absolutely love to use cork insoles like I have in my Finn comforts. I can't find any insole that provides the arch support, fills in the heel space, but doesn't squish my foot. I also don't like how tight the gusset is on the tongue. Even just an extra cm would make it easier to slide my foot in without destroying the heel counter.
One day I'll get my perfect pair from White's or Nick's.
Try Tacco leather orthotics, it comes full length or 3/4
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC I think my local cobbler has these in his shop. I'll check them out. Any suggestion for getting the leather to stretch and soften a bit?
Navigating by the stars. The nails look like Brads, what size are they?

Milk Kefir is a dairy drink/food made by fermemtation of lactic acid bacteria and Yeast. Yogurt must have specifically 2 lactic acid bacteria only.
Store bought yogurt is made with a freeze dried starters that contain lactic acid bacteria and yeast. As the fermemtation start from scratch the polisaharides are not formed to a visible size(those are called grains) They are just smaller and for this invisible to the naked eye. The manufacturer use freeze dried starters as they need to prevent contamination and describe the species and also reduce side effects.
It is not posible to use kefir grains as those frequently contain species that are not recognised as safe. Although they might NOT poison you could deliver side effects and this must be avoided.
So store bought kefir is just milder version of kefir due to sanitary conditions and proven species or use of generally recognised as safe ones.
WTH are you talking about???? YOU ARE COMMENTING ON THE WRONG CHANEL SIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And sinced I watched this video I can have TWO ice cream sandwiches for dinner. And 2 meaning 4.
2:56 What drawbacks do a fiberboard midsole/heel rand bring to the boot and/or the wearer. What advantages do they offer? Probably cheaper to manufacturer, but are the boots lighter in weight because of it? What are the considerations when just leaving out a mid sole altogether?
It's still a shame that their hiding cost cutting materials, but at least their passing a bit of that onto the customer unlike say danner for example.
Caf’e del sole
Translates to cafe of the sole (soul) ✌️
😁👍
Can you do a zero drop conversion, and do you recommend a boot for this that has a large toe box?
Maybe Drew’s Boots
What kind of nails do you us for the dr sole heel? I think the ones I have are too thick. 8/8 wire rubber nails.
Threaded nails, it depends if you have a heel base 7/8 or 8/8
Can't imagine spending over $1000 bucks on work boots. New 4606 about $440, custom + $585. Or do I have that wrong?
Iron Rangers are only $350 USD. Just bought a pair a month ago, but I don't see that particular color available on the website. Might be why you're seeing a higher price online for a discontinued pair.
That’s about right
Nice work! Is it possible to turns boots into shoes by cutting the top? Just asking out of curiosity.
Maybe but not a good idea
Did the custom provide you with the Dr soles and heels, or you have them available at your shop? 😮
I have some but can get anything I need
