VINTAGE Mystery Engineer Boots Full Restoration and Recraft
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- These Vintage Engineer boots got some much needed love. We Replace the broken instep straps on the upper. Took out the torn out leather channel on the footbed and replaced the fabric gemming. Replaced the old leather welt and stitched on a new Dr.sole Rubber half sole and whole heel. To finish it off we gave the boots a much needed conditioning to help prevent anymore cracking on the uppers.

Let us know what you think about the video!
Amazing work. The owner must really love those boots. The uppers have seen some sh**.
This is great, very relaxing! There really isn't enough engineer boots on RUclips.
Stellar craftsmanship and even better brother duo behind the work. Receiving shipments from all over the US to workshop in wonderful Nashville, TN.
Das ist unglaublich! Echtes Handwerk! Wow!
Great videos and lots of craftsmanship involved. It’s an art👍 The plus to me is a nice pair of boots that are already worn in. It’s worth it. Oh and I dig the background music as well 👍
Curious. Did the customer not want the insole replaced? Seems like having the boot deconstructed all the way down to the gemming would make it easy to replace the insole.
Awesome Unsung! I'm new to your channel and I will be staying, Love your Videos!!
Awesome, I wanna send you my engineer boots!🎉
Wow, we’ll done! Loving your channel 👍🏻
Just watched this full video. Awesome job!
Otros 10 años más.......felices
Thank you for the video.
Your craftsmanship is awesome! There is one question that I have: my grandfather, may he rest in peace, was a welder. He had these type of boots. When I was a child, I called those his work boots. It wasn't until years after he died that I saw his work boots in a Sears catalog-- labeled as engineer boots. The point that I want to bring up is that the heels on his work boots/ engineer boots, had a straight, vertical or plumb profile--not the cowboy-boot-type, concave profile that you put on these restored boots. I have seen on a lot of shoemakers on RUclips use this design motif on engineer boots. Would it cost more to have engineer boots made with an old fashioned, straight, plumb heel profile?
Keep up the good work.
Those have been through the ringer
Yes they have. This just goes to show that well made boots or shoes in the first place are still fixable. Even if they're really messed up.
To be honest a rebuild like this would have to cost more than a new pair wouldnt it? Beautiful work.
Dude you deserve way more subz bro I hot 2 phones and subbed on both
Wow the terms Restoration and Recraft don't quite get it.
That was a resurrection.
These two poor boots have probably never seen oil wax grease in their lives. I have two pairs of German Military Engineer Boots almost 60 years old and with proper care they still look almost new today. These German boots are better in quality and construction than everything else no matter whether new or old what I know. No matter what price is demanded today.

What are you using to moisturize the leather?
Great video!
Those boots were brought back from the brink.
I liked how you stitched the gemming. Was the footbed still in good shape? I'm surprised you didn't replace it as well since it was out.
The leather for the footbeds was still in good shape it was only the leather holes to stitch the welt through that were torn up. So we just trimmed the torn holes off and added gemming that way the customer could keep those already broken in footbeds.
Beautiful work. Would you recommend any books to get started in bootmaking? I already have leathercraft experience and would love to expand to hand welting and lasting my own boots. I live in Pensacola, FL and have not met any cobblers with this knowledge. Thank you and warmest regards,

Hi, i just bought a secondhand pair of engineer boots and i would like to ask you if you know a technique to shrink back the leather to Its original size. Thé previous owner had a larger instep and they are a bit large… thanks
Nice work but they would have been in the bin for me, even with the sentiment bit I can't see the point of spending on boots like that but like I said good work
Are you the guitar player, too?
Yes, we make all the music we use for the videos ourselves.
Unfortunate that the uppers were in such poor shape
I thought you would have put a new piece of leather where it was cracked real bad....
Just looking at the uppers on those boots I would have to give them a strong NO .
Why would anyone go through all that trouble, and not, at least replace the foot bed? The foot bed was in horrible shape, and a foot bed can't be that expensive...can it? I don't know. Seems to me...the foot bed could have easily and inexpensively replaced. Oh well.
Footed and toe box needed replacing. Both looked cracked, dry and worn to me. Customer should of been informed with a suggestion to replace these at an extra cost... Or the cobbler chose this method to keep hismelf in business for another year. It is clearly visible both needed a replacement. I for one wouldn't be happy with that. Especially the time and cost must of been quite substantial.
I enjoyed the work, but I find the music as annoying as a rooster crowing in the early morning. I prefer the voice of a craftsman talking to that of the music.
Отвратительно , собрал сапоги из старого хлама , сапожник блини
Why did you take that leather beautiful leather soul and hide it with all that black die that’s my only gripe other net nice work
