I think you are in error Jacob. This isnt the first Wallabee resole on RUclips. It's the first resole EVER! (They did it purely for the RUclips fans, dont deny it!)
The coolest thing about this video is that it shows how y'all can pretty much do whatever y'all want, to just about any shoe out there!! This, along with that Walmart video and anything's possible! Man, the perks to having the skill and your own shop are crazy!! 😆 We'll have to come up with some off the wall ideas for the next video! 👍💪
The sound of that old school leather cutting wheel is my absolute most favorite sound in the world. I love it every single time. It’s organic and real and sounds like work and craft and care. Fantastic.
Since I discovered your videos I watch them all. You are skillful and remember me of the love for a well done job by my grandfather, who made wood sabots in his small workshop. Greetings from Italian Alps.
That’s great, Riccardo! I love meat memories like that. We appreciate you watching! By the way, we’ve both been to Italy many times, including the Alps. Such a beautiful area!
You both always manage to find the perfect balance between artisan and ASMR in your videos. Thanks for always sharing tip & tricks while also keeping us involved with the incredible camera angles that also show the materials and machinery involved in this trade!
This was well done and while I like seeing the standard welt reconstruction/ resole that you do so well, this was far more interesting as it required a different approach. The shearling liner and trimming was clever and the final outcome looks great. Well done!
Had an original suede pair back in the ‘70s. Most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Florsheim actually had a pebble grain leather copy that was kid lined. Beautiful wearing shoes. Really nice job on your pair .
Your channel motivated me to buy my first pair of boots, and I used what I learned from you (and a few others) about build quality, welts, and stacked heels, when making my selection. Never thought I could pull off boots in a white collar environment. Seriously, my feet and I thank you for guiding me to the rabbit hole.
That was awesome. So cool when you trimmed the lining down to not change the size of the boot. Side note, I've had my Anson belts since Sept '21 and they're great (back then you could get 3 belts and 3 buckles for $99).
As i watching this thousand miles away from your shop and wonder one day or sooner, i want to send my wallabee for a resole. A neat and nicely done by you, amazing!
A long time since I've seen a pair of these. Great job! I bet your feet will love that lining. Sometimes it's a real advantage to have a cobbler in the family!
Oh man! You took me back to my junior high school days, in the early 80s. We called these “Chukka Boots,” and the kids who could afford them, were cool kids. My good friend, Oscar, loved them so much, that’s all he wore from 1st grade through high school. I never owned a pair, I was a brown Sperry top siders kinda kid. I was the kid who wore jordache jeans, top siders, collared shirts from the Go Around, and skinny ties. I was really into Rick Springfield and Cheap Trick back then. Excellent video. I’m going to be sending you guys a pair of British military desert boots. They are one size to big
I was skeptical because I was looking for EDC belts, and I wasn’t sure Anson belts was for my me. I took your advice, checked it out and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality, price, and ease of ordering. Love what I got and how it arrived! Thanks! Enjoy your videos because you talk right even if I only wear Merrell’s
Impressive work, the number of skills you demonstrated really stands out. The insole stitching was my favorite part, fine attention to detail. The result was as good, or even better than new. Kool vid.
Trenton every since childhood cancer cold goes right through me. My hands and feet get freakishly cold. Weston heated socks rock. So nice to have warm feet when it's cold. They are battery powered socks so it you get them get an extra set of batteries.
This video brought me back to the early ’70s. My older brother had a pair, I thought they were cool. I appreciate the man hours you put into the making.
In New Zealand these are called Clark's Nomads. Back in the 1980's these were the ultimate school kid shoe. They had lace tags which kids would decorate to their liking.
ALWAYS a great video with you guys! Heath you worked a bit of extra magic on these shoes with the wool lining.. I'm in Knoxville TN. You guys take care over there in your part of Tennessee.. We love coming that way for a visit... Stay blessed and protect your peace..
You should try putting the rubber in dry ice then sanding it off. Not sure if the dry ice will hurt the leather but it will turn the rubber hard making it much more manageable to work with/remove.
Great job. I used to wear those all the time in the early 90s too. I was worried the sheep's wool would make them too tight, but you answered that too. Well done.
It is a comfort to see that you guys (being in the shoe restoration business) shoes look as messed up as ours. I have a pair of Sperry Women's Wallaby boots with leather soles I'd love to be restored. I've had them for years and refuse to throw them away.
I’ve had a pair of dockers desert boots resoled. I personally stitched the midsole on with a jerk hook and had the cobbler install a cristy sole. Mad respect for using plantation crepe.
One of your best rebuilds yet. You really are a master at your craft. Thanks for making these video's. You now have the most expensive Clarks ever made. It's just like watching a Nick's rebuild..Except you guys talk during yours..
As always the craftsmanship is a amazing. However, for the amount of cold weather you get where you live, try 90%Merino wool socks. Then your feet won't sweat in the summer having wool always in your shoes.
Very cool project! Seriously, you made your shoes into what YOU wanted. That is great. I live in South Texas. Cold is rarely a thing here, for more than a day or two at any one time. Been pondering your sandals for guys. That would be a year-round useful purchase. My mother-in-law gave me a pair of sheep wool lined house shoes / slippers decades ago when we were stationed in Germany (drafty quarters and cold environment!). I wear them so little, they will probably last beyond my time on earth.
I have a pair of Clarks Wanderers and I don't wear them often. I will try to keep them in good shape so that I do not have the disappointment of having to discard them rather than have them resolved. Thanks to your RUclips channel, I now look for shoes I can resole and keep for years. This is harder with " women's shoes" but I wear traditional shoes, oxfords, boots, etc...
What you really need are some Merino wool socks. Two sources I use are Quince(low prices for high quality goods, and free shipping) and LL Bean. I live in Western Massachusetts, and I've been wearing socks from both sources in my Tecovas and Thursday Boots for the past three winters. My feet haven't been cold, not even during the subzero temperatures we had in February!
These were all the rage when I was in high school '74-'77. Everybody wore them! Didn't even know there were still available. Re: micro adjust belts. I wear one of those from a different manufacturer. The maker I use offers these compatible with concealed carry which I do. Really nice belts regardless of maker!
I used to wear out the outside heel really quick. The we so comfortable new, wore the all through HS and college. Going to have to order the Anson belts.
My Tobacco flip flops arrived this past week and they are great.👏🥳They look even better in person. Can't wait to be able to wear them out and about. Ironically they arrived on a day when we were having an ice storm.🥶
Special Anson Belt offer here: ansonbelt.com/trent Get 6 POSSIBLE belt combos for under $100. Thanks Anson Belt for sponsoring this video.
Good work how much do you charge. I have like 3 pair.
Wow! I think this is the first Wallabee resole ever on RUclips- clearly there was a reason lol. Great job!
Thank you! We appreciate you watching.
The Wallabee Shoes are like a Timex Watch no one wants to repair neither one of them
I think you are in error Jacob. This isnt the first Wallabee resole on RUclips. It's the first resole EVER! (They did it purely for the RUclips fans, dont deny it!)
Happy to see this video. Clark's are a household name in the Caribbean...glad to see one being restored

Yeah this makes me think of how I'd want to upgrade other pairs of my shoes.
Off the wall, skate shoes resoled with car tyre tread!
@@stephenremington8448 Dude! Sandals are one thing; Van's?? Nah...
@@David_Watts Or something else with car tyre tread, it's the car tyre tread on a shoe that is the main point.
@@stephenremington8448I had it done to my old MBT’s! It looks and feels amazing!
This is brilliant! Those soles are really cushy and now lined with wool these things must be a joy to wear on cool dry weather!
The sound of that old school leather cutting wheel is my absolute most favorite sound in the world. I love it every single time. It’s organic and real and sounds like work and craft and care. Fantastic.
The fact you hand-sewed leather, AND without a thimble, completely blew my mind.
LOVE the craft and the dedication. Nothing but salute!
it's a joy coming home from working on a Saturday and being able to relax a bit with a coffee and a new video by you guys!
We really appreciate you watching! Glad you enjoy.
Right!
What makes this build so amazing is what little you had to work with.They came out great!
Thanks! We appreciate it.
Since I discovered your videos I watch them all.

This was a ridiculously satisfying refurbish. I love the width of the sheep lining you cut down.
Your channel motivated me to buy my first pair of boots, and I used what I learned from you (and a few others) about build quality, welts, and stacked heels, when making my selection. Never thought I could pull off boots in a white collar environment. Seriously, my feet and I thank you for guiding me to the rabbit hole.

It's a pleasure watching you enjoying what you do. I'm also lucky that I enjoy my work.
What an awesome job. They look great and the sheep’s wool is a fitting upgrade.
SnoSeal those bad boys! Best one from you guys. Love the wool lining!
A long time since I've seen a pair of these. Great job! I bet your feet will love that lining. Sometimes it's a real advantage to have a cobbler in the family!
CERTAINLY I DID ENJOY !

That’s awesome! I remember a lot of that from my childhood as well. Let us know if we can help.

i just love watching that heavy duty sewing machine punch so easily through all those materials
Clarks Wallabee are one of my favorites, cool to see the restoration.
That was the most difficult resole I've ever seen. Props to you, man.
Heath, you sir out did yourself in this video. This has to be one of my favorites of all time,very cool !!
Those look absolutely baller. Paired with some baggy corduroys and a varsity jacket? Fire.
Trenton every since childhood cancer cold goes right through me. My hands and feet get freakishly cold. Weston heated socks rock. So nice to have warm feet when it's cold. They are battery powered socks so it you get them get an extra set of batteries.

That sure was a lot of work and I appreciate your high quality craftsmanship.
Wowww!! That is some awesome craftsmanship!!!! Always love you guys!
In New Zealand these are called Clark's Nomads. Back in the 1980's these were the ultimate school kid shoe. They had lace tags which kids would decorate to their liking.
Amazing Overhaul.
You are a true artist. What a patience and set of skills!
It is a brilliant idea!!!
Amazing wok, wish I still had my og ones, the leather on those was butter smooth and worn perfectly
Hah!
That barber's electric clipper allusion for the lining is priceless. This was great! 🤓👍
Fun project- laborious but worth it.
This is the dopest video I've watched on youtube in a long time. Wallabee's rule and adding the lining to them was a great idea!
Righteous profession !
ALWAYS a great video with you guys! Heath you worked a bit of extra magic on these shoes with the wool lining.. I'm in Knoxville TN. You guys take care over there in your part of Tennessee.. We love coming that way for a visit... Stay blessed and protect your peace..
Incredible restoration job! They're probably better now than the day the left the factory.
You really need to increase the size to accommodate thicker winter ❄️ Sox. And linings just make this more important.
They look great. Love my wool socks during the winter.
Oh what a wonderful work . Conny .
In a world where everything seems so slap dash, you guys are amazing in so many ways.
Another one! Those were a hit in the eighties! I loved mine! Great job.
You should try putting the rubber in dry ice then sanding it off. Not sure if the dry ice will hurt the leather but it will turn the rubber hard making it much more manageable to work with/remove.
Those must be so comfy now!
Such eye candy! The boots were nice, too...
That was fun to watch.
Was hoping to see a leather midsole with a glued crepe outsole… BUT I really can’t complain… It’s T and H!!
That was really nice!!!
Great job. I used to wear those all the time in the early 90s too. I was worried the sheep's wool would make them too tight, but you answered that too. Well done.

excelente trabajo es un arte la fabricación del calzado o arreglo espero mas videos para aprender saludos desde ecuador
Glad to see that you were working on your own shoe. I hope that they will keep your feet warm next Winter.
Great work chief!
I think you did an awesome job wished I had a pair of those shoes maybe one day
I have to imagine that those crepe rubber soles are so comfortable to walk on. And the wool lining, perfect for the winter time. I want a pair.
Awesome video guys! Again you guys rock with these projects!,

Amazing restoration of these clarks wallabee, I have some maple suede wallabees. 8 years ago I had leather ones similar to these. 🥰
Wow! I didn’t think you they still make that kind of soft rubber soles
I love Wallabees. Wish I had another pair!
I had a pair of these in college, only they were the tan suede version. Loved those things.
Great job on the resole. They should keep your toes warm now. Have a blessed weekend gentlemen.
Thank you sir. You as well.
This was incredible guys!!! Great Job!!!!
try a solvent such as acetone, furniture stripper. One of those will breakdown the glue and or rubber.
I loved the specialized cobbler's tool you used to trim the lining!
I have a pair of Clarks Wanderers and I don't wear them often. I will try to keep them in good shape so that I do not have the disappointment of having to discard them rather than have them resolved. Thanks to your RUclips channel, I now look for shoes I can resole and keep for years. This is harder with " women's shoes" but I wear traditional shoes, oxfords, boots, etc...
Love the lining job
My man just made his version of UGGs, just American made and 10x better 😂😂. These are 🔥
We called these “earth shoes” back in the 70’s 😊
Such great craftsman talent 👍🏽👍🏽⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!
You really have to love your pair of Wallabies, just to have them resoled forget about the winterizing
Great job. Now I want a Clark’s Wallaby boot (winterized).
I love them Clark's, your right about toes and the cold 🤣👌🏽 great idea.
What you really need are some Merino wool socks. Two sources I use are Quince(low prices for high quality goods, and free shipping) and LL Bean. I live in Western Massachusetts, and I've been wearing socks from both sources in my Tecovas and Thursday Boots for the past three winters. My feet haven't been cold, not even during the subzero temperatures we had in February!
That shoe is one of my all time favorite shoe ( I live in Florida so no cold feet) great video thanks
Great result! Legendary brand Clarks, even if their signature looks like Clanks! I guess these were only ever intended to be disposable.
These were all the rage when I was in high school '74-'77. Everybody wore them! Didn't even know there were still available. Re: micro adjust belts. I wear one of those from a different manufacturer. The maker I use offers these compatible with concealed carry which I do. Really nice belts regardless of maker!
I used to wear out the outside heel really quick. The we so comfortable new, wore the all through HS and college. Going to have to order the Anson belts.
It is easier to remove the wallpaper from the wall when dry, as well as the soles of these shoes! Great job!
Man, great video. Those boots remind me of some Eastland my mother gave me, uncomfortable, but dang they looked good.
Great video as usual 🤩
Those old soles are great for cleaning your sanding belts.
My Tobacco flip flops arrived this past week and they are great.👏🥳They look even better in person. Can't wait to be able to wear them out and about. Ironically they arrived on a day when we were having an ice storm.🥶
Love those shoes very comfortable! Great video.
Love the creativity- good job
Intense job but what a great outcome!
