It's the little things in life that stick out, thanks for sharing a fond memory of your father.
Thank you for a really good video. I think I missed my calling in life. I love shoes and boots and would love to learn this craft. This just popped up on my feed and had to subscribe. I'm 63 and retired now. I told my wife that I had missed my calling. She said it's never too late to start a new career. That's why I married a winner, always supportive. Thank you again for sharing your craft and I will continue to watch and learn. Peace and Love my friend.
Thank you my friend. Your wife is 100% correct. Follow your dreams! Find a shop near you even if it’s not a great shop. Learn everything you can. Improve daily and always try new techniques. Don’t get stuck doing things the same way. I’m always trying to improve. Lots of times you will go back to the original way but sometimes you find a gem
Very nice work, cool boots too. 75 Bucks! Love my 1000 mile boots, when they need it, I will love to send them to you for the same type resole.
Submission, registration shooting class!) really liked it!! I myself am a shoemaker with more than 20 years of experience in this field, I emigrated to live in Canada from Ukraine, now I work at the west boots factory. I wish you creative success in your business :)
Absolutely Amazing
Nice job, that’s cool.
Beautiful work sir, its good to see artisans still doing proper work on shoes. Wolverine has really dropped the ball on their 1000 mile boots, i know this is a cheaper model but it just brings down the brand as a whole.
Thank you! My dad use to always say “if you have time to do it wrong, you have time to do it right”
I couldn’t of put it better myself.. but what’s really happening in the US leather industry is shareholders are pushing down the price to create more profit.
@@georgiosbottega7753 its the tragedy of our time. People just want the look but aren't willing to pay for the quality, add a profit driven company amd industry and you end up with companies going the cheaper route every time.
So sad! I’m glad that there is a small niche for quality. But this was done slowly so people didn’t see it. We are programmed to buy cheap
I know I'm a little late to the game for this comment, but doesn't the fact that it's at Burlington Coat Factory mean that these are factory seconds? To me, that's a sign that they aren't dropping the ball at all. QC did its job, and instead of being sent to a shop to be sold at full price, they are being sold as seconds.
@@ryewhiskeyblues I was wondering if the boots in the video are seconds. I found a website that is claiming to be a Wolverine authorized store and they are selling 1000 mile boots in the $200 or less range and the Wolverine official site has them listed for 2X that price.
You pulled the old threads out. Bravo. You get a "like", and you get a new subscriber. (I had a cobbler not pull the old threads out of my Allen Edmonds black cap toe Park Avenue's, and the stitching on the welt...was all jumbled up. I was mad. So any cobbler who pulls the old threads out...is my kind of cobbler).
Beautiful work makes Beautiful results, thank you for sharing!!!
Great job man
Enjoyed your video. My father meant the world to me. So I made a my first pair of boots and named them after him. Keep up the good work.
Best in the business he always does an AMAZING job on my redwing pecos....
Thank you!!
Excellent work!
Thank you!
Love the use of the GoPro angle
Thank you
1st time seeing your channel, subscribed!!
I was wondering when you made your first pair of shoes and you answered it almost instantly !
great work, i very love your workspace!
Thank you
Nice work cool to see 👍
Great job 👏🏾 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you
Great video and boots,I love O.G. Brouge long wingtips,I would have put on an all leather sole,heel,Goodyear welt and white stitching ,you did a wonderful job 😊
I have never seen the 1000 mile boot for $75.00!
Someone obviously got a pretty darn good deal on a pair of factory seconds.
I looked these up on their website, and they're $380or something.
Great work here doing what they failed to do at the factory.
They had a deal with Burlington coat factory. $75 a pair .. that’s insane. I have no idea how they sold them that low
You should link your website in the descriptions. I had to google it. Thanks for the video sir.
Thanks! I’m new to this RUclips
I need to find a pair at Burlington like those...
Nice job
Thank yoy
Those are factory seconds. Rejected by quality control. That is why Burlington Coat Factory has the shoe for $75. The spot of glue on the upper was probably why the shoe was rejected. As for lesser quality components like the heel block and heel rand....... Georgio is absolutely correct. When footwear is sold at a premium, the customer should get better quality. Unfortunately, many higher priced shoes are using lower quality components. Why? Profit. The cheap soles, heels, heel rand, thread, etc...... it will all work, and last for years. There is no way that a customer will come back, and file a warranty claim against the shoe. Why? Because the company will reject the claim. What is the reasonable expectation? Do you think that your shoes should last 30 days, 90 days, 6 months, 1 year? How fast can you wear out a pair of cheap shoes, then expect to return it for a refund?
Nice job 👌👍 I hope the cost reflects extra 💸 for the Customers height increase 😂🥂✌️
Thank you!! Too funny!
I shave with Proraso. I did not know they made shoe dye. 😉
😂 I do to... I always save containers and reuse them.. learned that from my old man.. got some old tuna cans from the 60’s full of tacks
Amazing
Thank yoy
They turned out great, I have a pair of 1K boots I need to resole, would this service fall under the $165 mark? Also, I didn't realize Proraso shaving soap manufacturer made shoe polish!
Hi, thank you!
I bet if prorasso did it would smell great!! 😂
A resole like that would run $185 if it doesn’t need anything else
Fkn great price for an American made boot
I love your videos and your work! I’m hoping to get a pair of boots resoled by you sometime soon. Do you have any videos of you working on engineer boots, or the process of removing toe boxes? Thanks
No I’ve been focusing the time I used to use for RUclips on consulting projects. I’ve worked with some pretty cool brands. It takes away from this channel
X2
so if wolverine has chosen to replace craftsmanship with profit and thereby cheapen the product by keeping the look and the price where would you acquire good casual everyday boots that are made in the usa?
So what kind of sole leather did you use. It sounded and read as licorice dandy..gotta be a captions typo
how much would it cost to do that? what a difference. and the original would do 1000 miles? the new version may do. we'll done sir!
Great work! Can I ask what it would cost to do that to my exact stile I own?
Thank You

I like the Proraso jar you're using for the dye. Wet Shaver as well?
Ha ha ha
Craftsmanship LIVES. God Bless your father for passing down the trade. A true art & legacy. I hate made in China assembly line merchandise. Total garbage with zero attention to quality! Affordability over quality 😞
Thank you! Well said!!!
No shank or did I miss it??
In the wolverines the shank is built into the footbed
good question bro...
It’s in there.. you just can’t see it because it’s in the footbed
I got some 1k sneakers for $50 and they've got horween leather, bought 5 pairs. I've been wearing the same pair for the past 8mo and I love them. Do you know how difficult it will be to get them resoled? I believe it's a Vibrum cup sole with sidewall stitching
I’d have to see them. Send me an email with a pic. It might not be hard at all
How would one get his 1000 miles resoled by you?
All you have to do is mail them in. Check out georgiosbottega.com
for 75$ kind of leather is it?
It’s real suede but good question I have no idea how they made it so cheap
I can only find ghetto gear at my Burlington Coat Factory. They certainly don't have anything like this
😂 I bought it on thier online store
Would it be better to just buy boots at 75$ and go get them fixed up like that?? You make me want to be a shoe fixer guy...
