I really appreciate how Steve is explaining what every piece is, and why it's used. All while you're in the background showing off how the job is not remotely as easy as pros make it look. Always coming out with great content Nick!
When I was growing up as a kid my Mom would say, "You can never thank a person enough for their time. A person's time is invaluable." Don't worry about what the haters or the salty crocodiles say. Keep up the good work Steve.👍
Hi there glad to come over and take a watch on your video with Bedo! Glad to give you a go. We love Steve he make the shoe repair look so easy. He’s got the gift. Good job Stridewise!
Thank you, Nick, for doing this video. I am saving my dinero to buy a pair of White's service boots. While some sites extol the virtues of White's sole construction, I gained a new level of appreciation just by listening to Steve's observations. Very instructive.
Bedo's craftsmanship and attention to detail is second to none. No matter how long the video is I watch all the way to the end. Always very satisfying. This is a great collab.
Quality and Craftsmanship= Bedo’s Leatherworks! I’ve been lucky to have some work done by Steve, and let me just say/agree: THE BEST show repair hands down! Great video Nick and cheers to Steve!
Hats off to Steve!! I had heard of using the machine and not being able to hit the same holes. Never had someone actually show it not work though!! Steve is a master foe sure! Thanks Nick for showing great content and kudos for teaming up with Bedos!!!
Fascinating! Honestly. My father’s best friend, when I was growing up, had a shoe repair shop like this. I sure wish I would have learned this craft. It’s amazing. (And I miss Chris Dart too).
Whites Boots has changed something in the last few years. It seams like they all squeak. My Smoke Jumpers just had a rebuild and began squeaking in the first month. I have a friend that has taken his back multiple times and Whites can't seam to resolve the issue. I'm around at least 5 pair at work and if they were built or rebuilt in the last few years they squeak. All are the Rancher and Smoke Jumper models. Luckily in the PNW we have options with Nick's and Frank's in the same town. It's awfully frustrating with what these things cost.
That was great! We tradesmen love watching apprentices struggle the first day. Lol good job Nick. Steve you thought watching glue dry was tough, how about watching Nick work. Lol just kidding great job. Nick by the way hold the hammer at the bottom of the handle when swinging it. Another great vide guys fantastic. Let’s continue!!!!
This and the Redwing re-sole video are very good. I like seeing Nick do actual handiwork - not the vibe he gives off. A Participation Trophy is indeed earned!
Wasn’t Nick’s started by someone who was trained and worked for White’s? I remember the day when White Boots were the only game in town and the along came all the knock offs, which may have improved on Whites or new owner ship of Whites declined. It seems like there are some Nick’s sycophants that want to perpetuate an “East Coast/West Coast” war between Nick’s and the rest of boot world, perhaps they have a secondary motivation$$? I have owned several pairs of Whites over the years and they served me well. Work boots I am referring to are ones used by timber fallers and loggers, not the casual style in this video. In the woods boot squeak cannot be heard over the noise of a chain saw.
People have made up in their minds that there's this war between Whites and Nicks and believe that Nicks is superior while pretending that Nicks has never sent out a bad boot.
Steve is like I thought we were doing a resolve on a Goodyear welted boot. Nick shows up with a nicks boot which is Blake stitched welted and stitched down and must be hand sewn. You could feel the tension in the room.
My White's boots have the same squeak and it's really frustrating because otherwise they're amazing. EDIT: this inspired me to reach out to White's about repairs and they were great about it. Props to them.
Nice video. Great tutorial on how to trouble shoot a squeak. Too bad the machine stitch did not work, but you always have a solution. When the hand stitching began you were using blue and white thread, but the final product had white thread on both sides of the sole. What happened? Keep up the good work I love your videos.

I've got a pair of whites MP boots that are barely even broken in and they squeak bad enough to make me never want to wear them. I'm curious what something like this rebuild would cost. I'm hesitant to send them back to whites for a rebuild. When I first ordered them, I ran into this problem, sent it back to them, and got a call after 4 months saying that they accidentally destroyed the boots. The newly built ones are doing the same thing, and I'd rather send them off to someone that knows what they're doing.
@@Stridewise Oh man, I got that same one but it fitted me horribly and seemed so different to their short sleeve version which fitted me great. Almost like it was made of a different material. Also tried the Buck Mason pima henley, but that thin thing is like wearing bloody lingerie! Buck Mason had a thicker "surplus Henley", but they have stopped producing it, which is a shame cause it looked awesome. So now I have just bought the Merz B Schwarz & Freenote henley's which are pretty highly recommended, just waiting for them to be delivered now to see if I keep both or return 1/both. You should do a video on Henley reviews sometime mate. Especially with the Bond movie coming out, it seems like he is wearing his Rag & Bone henley half the damn movie from the trailer haha that thing will be sold out for years once the movie is released I bet
my whites smoke jumpers squeak like crazy. i've sent in twice for fixing to no avail. i often work in sound stages and you can hear me coming from a mile away. i can no longer wear my work boots to work because of this. pretty frustrating for how much they cost and how much time i had to wait each time sending in for repair.
I watch his videos a lot, he not only works on shoes, but also handbags, leather jackets, he's done leather bible covers, I've seen a leather knife holder from him, so he does all kinds of things
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC That is a great endorsement from a true expert! Thanks Steve! Your dedication to quality and craftsmanship is fantastic, plus your channel is fun and very educational!
That's Troy and he actually just appears on this channel sometimes :) He recently did this video at Chrono24 too: ruclips.net/video/y93W99JjAA0/видео.html
I’ve had 3 pair of Whites starting in 2005 (all from the same build sheet.) They’re still very tough but they don’t break in as good as they used to, and the customer service has slipped a bit. IMO, Nicks is now the King of heavy use field boots.
I really appreciate how Steve is explaining what every piece is, and why it's used. All while you're in the background showing off how the job is not remotely as easy as pros make it look. Always coming out with great content Nick!
13:33 double hammer-time was something I didn't know I needed until now.
Watching Nick daintily hammer at those boots is the best content this youtube has produced.
Loved the video, keep it up.
Hahaha every time I hit them harder I'd bend them and have to start over, I could never get the angle right
Steve is the best. Looks like he is now getting his beard ready for his winter side gig as Santa.
imagine you can take a picture with him and tell him your leather/boot fantasies, which he can fulfill at a cost
Steve the boot Santa
So glad Steve made you work!
got my nails dirty, that's for sure
What an honor to be taught by the master 😎👍
One of my favorite experiences
When I was growing up as a kid my Mom would say, "You can never thank a person enough for their time. A person's time is invaluable." Don't worry about what the haters or the salty crocodiles say. Keep up the good work Steve.👍
he's a chief!

Awesome! Thank you Anna! Glad you like the video, he's a great teacher
I was just there earlier today and he said this video was coming. Didn’t realize it was going to be tonight haha
Haha! Lucky you, Charles!

"When I was a young boy in Australia...." 8:49 LOL!!! Very cool video, I'm enjoying the collaboration with the master Steve. He is amazing.
Haha that's why I got so into boots when I moved here! It was like uncovering a new world of cool
I usually watch Bedo's Leatherworks with Steve. I love good craftsmanship, so we have something in common. I like Aussies too! Good video!
Alright! You and I will get along famously, I'm sure
Fascinating! Honestly.
My father’s best friend, when I was growing up, had a shoe repair shop like this. I sure wish I would have learned this craft. It’s amazing. (And I miss Chris Dart too).

lets continue
Love the channel! Would you mind telling me what glue you are using at 15:36?
That was great! We tradesmen love watching apprentices struggle the first day. Lol good job Nick. Steve you thought watching glue dry was tough, how about watching Nick work. Lol just kidding great job. Nick by the way hold the hammer at the bottom of the handle when swinging it. Another great vide guys fantastic. Let’s continue!!!!
Great video! Steve has such a great, positive attitude -- patient and kind. Thanks, Nick. You were also spirited, and a great sport throughout.
I would pay Steve to let me work with him while we resoled my boots. Super fun to watch and very jealous of your cool experience 🤙🏽
Maybe one day Kevin!
I've been fan of both channels for quite some time. It was great seeing you both together fixing a pair of boots.
Us too! Hope you caught our other videos together
If everyone did their job as a amazing as steve does, the world would be a better place.
Love this crossover, doing great work
It’s all in the details and Steve “nails it” everytime!
This guy got his shoes resole for free, genius. Great video. Subscribed.
It was all part of my plan! Haha, thanks for the sub!
AND I bought a pair of Thursday boots after watching your video assessments. Keep up the good work
Steve!!! Always willing to help his fellow man to fix his shoes!! Are those Thursday boots?
Great job Steve and friend! You are the best on RUclips!
This and the Redwing re-sole video are very good. I like seeing Nick do actual handiwork - not the vibe he gives off. A Participation Trophy is indeed earned!
A master cobbler & great teacher explaining the process 👌
Came to see the rest of your visit to Steve's! Awesome video man!
Thanks for coming bro!
Checking in after seeing the initial video on Steve's channel. Great educational content!
I just love how Steve goes into Steve mode lol. Stridewise is Steve's channel today hahaha!
Awesome collaboration with two of my favourite channels, a great video guys.
So glad you liked it Mister Smoke!
Omg I’ve been waiting for this one 🤗
Ah yes, these videos with Steve are great! I love both y'all's channels. . .
Bedo's school of hard knocks lol
Nice video, love to see you put Nick to work! I enjoy his RUclips channel-and you know I love yours Steve! Keep up the great work BOTH of you!!
Best Bedo's Leatherworks video ever. No knock on Steve, I watch him religiously.
This one was a more cinematic experience of Steve!
White's spokesperson: "don't watch this video"
Nick's spokesperson: "DO WATCH THIS VIDEO" :)
Nicks has sent out faulty products as well, let's not pretend like they are not without their faults.

@@SuperKickerAss oh absolutely. It certainly happens in production. I don't have a dog in this fight
People have made up in their minds that there's this war between Whites and Nicks and believe that Nicks is superior while pretending that Nicks has never sent out a bad boot.
@@american_psycho1147 have you owned a pair of either brands? I've never experienced them but I think the "war" is kind of funny
Steve is an artist
In the truest sense.
Long time Bedo's fan. Hope to enjoy your videos also!!
Steve is like I thought we were doing a resolve on a Goodyear welted boot. Nick shows up with a nicks boot which is Blake stitched welted and stitched down and must be hand sewn. You could feel the tension in the room.
Would live to watch Steve teach an apprentice
yes!
Bedo’s sent me here. Steve is ace. 🇬🇧
From Mr. Bedo's channel - good stuff.
Just watched the short upload from Bedo’s channel. Just had to watch the full video.
My White's boots have the same squeak and it's really frustrating because otherwise they're amazing.
EDIT: this inspired me to reach out to White's about repairs and they were great about it. Props to them.
Wow that fascinating, much more work than I expected!
Wowow Stive is a Real pro 😍 good work guys 👍
Nice video. Great tutorial on how to trouble shoot a squeak. Too bad the machine stitch did not work, but you always have a solution. When the hand stitching began you were using blue and white thread, but the final product had white thread on both sides of the sole. What happened? Keep up the good work I love your videos.
Nothing really, the machine was set up with blue and white but hand stitching we use one thread for top a d bottom hence both sides were white
Wow !!!
We need more of this
Nick, I am impressed! You looked right at home ripping up that boot, maybe Steve could use an apprentice.
Haha thanks for the encouragement Frank!

Hello from the Bedo crowd, subscribed.
I really want to watch Steve train people in a series The Shoe Apprentice now!
Bedo looks like a Ancient Greek craftsman
Tunic forthcoming
Found you and subscribed from Bedos’ channel.
Please update if it still squeaks. Have same issue on w different brand boots. On the right boot.
Which model is this? Looks great!
Great video. Question - what conditioner did you put on that doesn’t change the color of the boot?
Great video
Thanks Cory!
Y’all are having so much fun. I wish I was with you.
A STEVE fan following his recommendation to view the full video :)
Love this guy
Getting tuition from the very best of the best!👌

Great video Nick. What henley are you wearing mate?
Taylor Stitch's heavy bag :)
@@Stridewise Oh man, I got that same one but it fitted me horribly and seemed so different to their short sleeve version which fitted me great. Almost like it was made of a different material. Also tried the Buck Mason pima henley, but that thin thing is like wearing bloody lingerie! Buck Mason had a thicker "surplus Henley", but they have stopped producing it, which is a shame cause it looked awesome.
So now I have just bought the Merz B Schwarz & Freenote henley's which are pretty highly recommended, just waiting for them to be delivered now to see if I keep both or return 1/both.
You should do a video on Henley reviews sometime mate. Especially with the Bond movie coming out, it seems like he is wearing his Rag & Bone henley half the damn movie from the trailer haha that thing will be sold out for years once the movie is released I bet

One of Steve's subscribers here to check out your channel.
So glad to have you Catherine!
Question, what boot are you wearing? At 20:00 looks like vibergs but I could be wrong. Those a beaut!
I read his sign out front. Question: Does he do any work with leather?
I watch his videos a lot, he not only works on shoes, but also handbags, leather jackets, he's done leather bible covers, I've seen a leather knife holder from him, so he does all kinds of things
So did this fix the squeaking in the end?
Bravo. Parevner.
Great vid!! Loyal Bedos sub
JR shank!!!
Subscriber from Bedo's Leatherworks.
Hey thanks for coming by, Gregg!
When Steve talks about the construction of the boots, it brings the Veldtschoen to mind. Anyone else think that?
Because it is
It looks more like a variant of the Norwegian construction, a kind of bentivegna.
Quick shot of his boots
What was he wearing?
"Is the squeakin of the hideous boots! " -Mr.Krabs
Did you try WD-40 first ?
Recommendation by Steve at Bedo's to check your channel out, looking forward to some great videos!!!
Hope you like everything, David!
Steve, as an expert on boot construction, what boots do you wear?
Alden Indy, 8 years old and I wear the shit out of them.
@@BedosLeatherworksLLC That is a great endorsement from a true expert! Thanks Steve! Your dedication to quality and craftsmanship is fantastic, plus your channel is fun and very educational!
Bedo sent us over.
What a great guy he is, thanks for following him here Tommy
Can you add a steel toe to a resole?
How does stridewise not have more viewers?
What is the channel of the guy you showed at 24:56 doing reviews?
That's Troy and he actually just appears on this channel sometimes :) He recently did this video at Chrono24 too: ruclips.net/video/y93W99JjAA0/видео.html
I've been wondering how my MP Boots were stitched!
Glad this was helpful!
new subscriber here from Bedos
do you have a reaction video ?
is the squeaking gone though?
yes! operation was a success, Ruben!
Nick look like an over-heated computer trying to process all the information
Hahaha
Tremendamente buen video 👍👍👍

Nick, after you get the nails started move your fingers. Making me nervous and they aren't even my fingers.
Seth whenever I did that I'd bend the nail! Too uncoordinated, haha
@@Stridewise you did fine, no worries!👍🏻
