Redwing should offer a total blackout boot as an option, maybe they do. The finished product reminded me of Corcoran jump boots.

They look more like Garrison boots. I've never had red wings but do have Garrison.. as much as I love them they're not the most comfortable.. are Redwing comfortable? Please advise as I've never owned a pair. Thx

The teaching part is fascinating. As an old guy, I love to know how things are done right, no matter the industry. I wear boots, so YES, I like learning what RIGHT looks like. Your videos have really enlightened me a great deal. Nothing wrong with lifelong learning, even if it is not needed for your particular occupation. Turning work boots into dress boots turned out beautifully.

While there are a couple of very good cobblers on KZfaq...I dare say, of them all...Tony is likely the very best. I love his work. (And...his shop, is by far, the cleanest and tidiest, of all on KZfaq. In my opinion, that is a tell-tale sign, of a cobbler who goes the extra mile to do everything the right way).

We did a 360 welt conversion in another video. Some people like it and others say it’s too much. We think the larger heel rand is a better balanced look for the boot. But, we offer either choice to the customer.

Mr. Tony you are definitely a master craftsman. You do some awesome work and the narration Yuki is outstanding. I am a newbie at this, but I love watching shoe repair. I have questions to ask what type of thread do you use to sew the welt on and what type and size of thread do you use to sew the sole on

@WyattDadCobblerCompany 16 күн бұрын

Thanks! We use beeswax coated thread for sewing on the welts, and 1mm braided thread for stitching the soles on. If you are a cobbler and want detailed links on the threads, email me at wyattndad@gmail.com Tony Wyatt

@WyattDadCobblerCompany 8 ай бұрын

Yes, the main place to be careful with a cleaner like Saphir is around the white stitching that was dyed. You could strip some of the color out and make the thread look grey instead of black. Spit shining the toes and heel counters is definitely possible now.

Great video. I'm curious why there still seems to be a substancial void after you glued in the cork. Does the entire cavity not need to be filled?

@WyattDadCobblerCompany 8 ай бұрын

The void only appears to be there. When forcing the sides up during the removal of the original cork, it makes them appear taller. The important part of the void to fill is the height of the sidewall of the gimming. Our cork is exactly that thick. I talked about hammering that over after welting. But it doesn’t completely lay over until the soles are hammered on and the boot flexed during walking. If you put too much cork in the center of the boot, it will feel like a lump is under the ball of the foot and make the metatarsal heads sore.

That’s the best way to do it. The black is baked into the metal and holds up better. On this job, the customer decided not to go that route. I used a leather spray dye to cote them. It will work for a while but eventually rub off. The customer was made aware of this
