    I am a shoe repairer myself. Third generation in fact. I appreciate the level of craftsmanship that you put in every resole. Before watching your videos I never saw a slip-sole bonded and McKay stitched together before adhering and stitching. I assume this eliminates any movement between the slip-sole and sole thus there is little chance of separation with extended wear and exposure to the elements. Between the bonding, stitching, copper rivets, and strategically placed nails the two literally become one piece much more impervious to expansion and contraction of the two dissimilar pieces of the sole as well as less likely to allow exposure to water to lessen the bond between these. This brings me to your sole as well as brand of "Role Club". I assume you have your soles custom manufactured as I've never seen this sole and brand available from any of the remaining shoe finding jobbers? I have learned by watching you some different ways to do a resole like bonding the slip-sole to the outsole prior to bonding and stitching to the footwear. You do great work.

      The only correct way to resole Doc Martens is to send the boots back to the manufacturer and get them to put a new sole on it for you.

      Yes! These look great... one could send them back to DM to be resoled, but here you have created something unique that looks excellent. Bravo

      You’re just a blind fanboy. It’s a known fact the soles wear down incredibly fast compared to the older quality and the material they use now is known to be less grippy. If you fanboys are gonna get so passionate about a shoe than you should grow up and start bitching at the company that decided to cut corners. The day the soles wear down on mine I’m sending them to a get a proper sole.
      And people like you can drown in your own tears while you cry about it.

    Love the “naturality”, the openness, honesty, no trickery with the camera, technique... just what you do everyday. That’s what made me subscribe- the prof that you like this and respect your job/shoes/people you interact with is in your eyes, in the way you carry yourself in front of the camera, us.
    By the way- great selection of music, not trying to convey something not going on on the screen, just very good match! So many channels take away from the video/message with “not matching” music, your channel- a joy to watch EVERY TIME!

    I will admit I wasn't sure where you were going with these. The boots looked relatively new with little wear, but man did you knock it out of the park. I have never liked the looks of Docs because of the blown rubber sole. They always looked like a shoe a person would wear in their teen years, and grow out of when they hit adulthood.
    The end product after you got done with them, are boots I find attractive. I would totally rock those. Good job!

      @Alexandros K Yeah but if you've ever worn Doc's for work you'll know that the 'Airwear' soles, while very comfortable, will usually wear out long before the rest of the boots, much like the soft rubber soles on Redwings. The point of this conversion is that once done the rubber sole and heel can be easily replaced by almost any repair shop. Those boots, as they are now, could potentially last a lifetime if taken care of.
