The biggest benefit to the hot cork over sheet cork is not having to scrape away the old cork as thoroughly. With the hot cork you won't get the lumps/bumps because the cork fills the area. The sheet cork being a consistent thickness means that any little bits of cork left when it is attached will add to the thickness in that 1 spot, leaving bumps.
I see what your saying. When resoling shoes, it's a good idea to scrape away as much of the old cork as possible no matter what type of cork your using. The old cork doesn't provide the same support and cushion like it did when new. It's practically just a filler that does cause bumps if not removed properly.
HAPPY TOSEE A YOUNG GUY DOING THIS, HOPE YOUR'RE AT THIS FOR A LONG TIME, NO COBBLERS AROUND HERE ANYMORE YOU HAVE TO TRAVEL 50 MILES OR MORE TO HAVE WORK DONE ON YOUR SHOES
@@Theshoeman02 I see thanks for letting me know that's add to my knowledge. But is it possible to have the similar same sole size of the stock/original?
There’s really no difference in function, just application. In a manufacturing process the hot cork is more efficient. I find this process more efficient in a repair setting
@@Theshoeman02I’m curious as well. I’ve had nothing, but a good experience for the value on mine so far. Sure the leather on Iron Rangers is better, but I hate the clown look of those shoes and I wouldn’t consider $100+ a little more for the slightly better leather. If I were to want significantly better quality I’d go with the Truman 79s, but those are twice the price.
i had a lot of QC problems and roughly spent a grand on Thursday boots but to be fair to them i put a pair through a few hundred thousand steps, if my step calculator is accurate it'd be around a million steps just working and walking 2 miles to and from work and the boots are holding up fine. no leather problems no rips no scratches (deep ones) i even walked them through deep puddles because the place i work flooded and my feet were dry throughout the storm and flooding. the will need a resole very soon but for the price they are good, more than good. @@Theshoeman02

Great work, and good to see a younger generation keeping a skilled trade alive and well.
Great video. Thanks for explaining your machines and your processes.
Thanks for watching!
About the best thing RUclips recommended me in years. Great work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Great job, they turned out great. Very informative video as well.
Nice work, young brother. I especially liked how you put 2 sheets of cork compared to other cobblers that I've seen only use 1 sheet.
Excellent video. Keep going!
Well said message in the end!!!

Thanks for the great video. I appreciate your explanations of the machinery and process. Looking forward to watch your other videos. Have a good day.
Very informative. Good video, appreciate the effort you put into it.
I love black boots great video
Excellent video per usual.
Amazing work! Keep up the videos.
Great work Oliver ! Keep up good videos.
Very nice job.
Is it not POSSIBLE to make the SOLE the same style size?
Because its much more thinner look doesn't it??
The size of the shoe shouldn’t change when resoling boots

@@bengbeng8326 it is, but Thursdays don’t sell their soles to us cobblers so we can’t put them on
@@Theshoeman02 I see thank you, that's unfair, I guess.
I think 150 i fair considering I wouldn’t have to buy a new pair and beeak them in besides the fresh cork.
Vibram is Italian
how about liquid cork filler ? are they better/worse compared to what u used ?

Thursday boots are crap. Spend a little more money and you can get a way better boot.
Ok care to explain why you think they are crap?
