Sheet cork is less expensive but offers consistent density. There will be no cork hotspots from the application or wear. I prefer sheet cork. Hot cork takes less time to apply, will change in density after a lot of wear, requires more skill labour and is more expensive.
Although i speak Spanish, you gotta get some translation subtitles man. Your work is so good, everyone needs to know what you’re saying in Spanish. It will increase the number of views. VERDAD
Sweet that RUclips got something right and suggested your video; was looking for a cobber since the couple places I've used years ago have closed. Good to know a somewhat local cobbler when the time comes for a resole.
I'm glad you replaced the shank! On the original Perry boots with the "White's" sole, the shank was molded into the outsole (same as Danners). I hope my Perrys do not need a rewelt when the time comes for a resole. 🙏
I think you made the right point on all heeled boots needing a shank. I always wondered why Red Wing didn't use a shank with the Merchants? I always wanted a pair in Ebony Harness but given the lack of a shank, I never could quite bring myself to purchase a pair.
I believe the mindset with the merchants was a refined, less hard work oriented boot ( A merchant), for someone who is not climbing ladders. You can often times dig into the history of the different models in the heritage line and find what they where originally marketed as way back in the day. I believe their "Sheldon" boots also do not come with a shank as they're of a fancier variety too.
Muchas gracias por el saludo, gran trabajo como siempre, un dia de estos te mando un email con fotos de mis 1907s que despues de un año de uso van a necesitar un re-sole 👍
Gracias bro, la calidad de materiales es de primera, sin embargo no me gusto el estilo, estaba de echo apunto de comprar un par de estas pero después de ver cómo se hacen de anchas cambie de opinión! Saludos!
These boots are right in the same price catagory as the 877's from red wing. From your brief period of time handling them, do they seem like they are of similar quality? From what I know, the only difference is the styling.
Yes they’re almost the same , these run big and wider I wanted to buy me a pair but after I saw these I decided no to buy them anymore. Just my opinion
I saw a video with Brian the Bootmaker on Role Club used Oxy-clean, scrubbed it with a toothbrush and used a spoon as a scraper to remove the mixture, then wiped down with a cloth. They didn't get brand new spotless but pretty damn good; somewhat if you used an edge dressing on leather.
I thought he was saying I use “$hit cork” every time he was referring to “sheet corq”. I couldn't understand why he was bragging about that. But it was just my poor English and his accent. My bad. Haha.
Gracias Luis, la verdad yo acá aprendí el oficio y no conosco muchas marcas de aya hay unas botas que están haciendo un poco de ruido (Arador) debería checarlas saludos!
I think ive seen before where the front of a wedge sole is sewn all the way through to keep it adhering to the midsole. Im wondering if this is something worth doing to prevent the sole from coming apart as you often see happen on these wedge sole boots. Or would it be too difficult to get a stitch through all of that, or just an unnecessary step.
*I know exactly what you're talking about! I've seen photos of the Cristy soles with the very front of the toe area in the bottom sewn. Then I've seen in Nick's Boots and JK Boots videos where they will sew right through the Cristy soles (not always), but only they do a 180 degree stitch. This means they stop the stitch just before the heel. I asked Nick's Boots on their channel about it. It is for more security, to keep the sole attached to the midsole. The contact cement also keeps them in place.* *I noticed not every cobbler does it. And Aaron hadn't returned an answer to you about it. Maybe he will after this comment? But also his email is at **0:10**. You can ask him that way too. Again, I think it really depends on a cobbler willing to stitch through the thick wedge soles or not.* *It would seem that contact cement is enough for the wedges to keep in place. I think it really depends on how hard someone is on their boots, and what they're using their boots for. So casual use would be fine. For people in labor such as construction, welding, and other intensive jobs, then it's possible the wedges could start separating. But I don't really know after how long. I can see how having the wedges stitched would be very useful for those jobs though! For other kinds of jobs such as retail, the office, etc where you're likely not in too many elements, those may be ok too with the wedges not being stitched.* *However, getting them stitched or not is really up to you. It wouldn't hurt them having them stitched. It could be an extra cost (you'd have to ask Aaron to be sure), and you'd have to see if Aaron can do that for you.*
You’ve already answered him 😜 thanks!! Is not really necessary, and they don’t look any good, it’s a different type of material Than rubber, Nitrile or leather etc. It really depends on what the person needs the boots for The majority of well known boot manufacturers don’t do it and haven’t done it. I know JK does it and a few others but is not really necessary not to mention that it’d have an extra charge, specially on stitch down construction boots, if people are hard on boots what they really need it’s a different type of sole. Thank you again! Cheers
@@AaronG2480 Funny, I wrote this post around the same time I got a pair of Whites Perrys. Ive worn the tread completely off the Christys already now and thats using the boots in a rotation where I just wear them 3 days a week. I know people keep wearing them for a long time after the tread is gone, but honestly its a safety hazard for me at this point. I find myself slipping a lot now. Do you have a good suggestion on what I can resole it with that will be more durable and still look good? Should I just ask my local cobbler to give me whatever vibram lug sole they think works best? I was thinking maybe something like the Montagna. Will be used on concrete all day, will get wet, chemicals, brush against pallets, and avg 5 miles of walking a day.
Vibram Montagna it’s definitely a good option In terms of durability but they’re harder than Cristy and some times people don’t like it I’d try the Vibram 148 kletterlift on top of Vibram Cristy as long as your wedges are thick enough.

Whites run a little different because of the hight arch at least all the ones I have I wear 12 d in all other boots but 11 in whites or Wesco I own 6 pair of whites 3 different styles and 1 pair of job masters in Wesco hand made boots size a little different

Great explanation regarding the types of cork.
Great job once again. Those boots must be for Frankenstein. They look huge! Lol 😂 keep up the hard work.
😅😅😅✋🏻👊🙏
Love to watch your hand work!
Aaron I watch you so much I may learn Spanish without trying 😀
They look so great after the resole. You use the magic wand all the time. Greetings from Italy 😃
😮✋🏻👊

Oh I never knew that about the merchants that's such a strange exclusion.

If I ever decide to send my Doc Martens across the Atlantic for a professional English resole they'll be getting a shank!
Hi Aaron !!! Como siempre muy buen trabajo 👍 Pura magia saluditos desde Hayward gracias por compartir el video
🤝
¡Honor a quien honor merece Maestro! 💯🔥
Que me has hecho sentir importante al mencionarme, me siento como toda una estrella.🙋🏻♂️😁

Well since you covered the cork and shank I'll ask about the why you didn't reuse the welt lol.
Great job once again!
🤔😅

After you worked on them you decided you didn’t want to buy them?
How do you clean the sides of a "Christy" sole or one like it? Great work Aaron!
Thanks, trust me there’s no way to keep the soles clean!!😅

What conditioning do you use brother ? Nice job!

Great as always :) Very clean!
I would always go with leather than cork. Takes a little long to break in bought will always out last cork…
WoW nice job 🙌🏼
Aaron i like that sole,thats my problem of my RW 8130 the sole
Whites run a little different because of the hight arch at least all the ones I have I wear 12 d in all other boots but 11 in whites or Wesco I own 6 pair of whites 3 different styles and 1 pair of job
masters in Wesco hand made boots size a little different
Was the original welt leather? Thank you!
Yes it was
What glue do you use? I make leather goods and use barge cement or Rainier 315 but that looks different.
It is barge Timothy!
Another great job!
Does the leather change the feel of the boot verses the cork? Seems the cork would be softer but break down after a while…
No it doesn’t!
Превосходно …
How do send you my boots to get resoled?
Nice
Garbage boot. Sole gone in 7 months 😂😂
