Thank you guys! They look amazing. Cannot wait to see them in person! These are my dads boots from the 80’s. He’s an Eagle Scout and has logged hundreds of miles in them.

How are you guys not verified yet? Honestly; 200k subs, ACTUAL cobblers reviewing shoes, quality videos and very informative. Sometimes youtube's just wack.

I love the extra attention you both put into the shoes to increase durability and longevity.

Definitely a good call leaving the midsole natural, it complements the cuff liner perfectly.

What a transformation. The shoe looks brand new. Magical craftmanship.

I’ve become a boot snob because of your channel. My wife thinks I have some kind of obsession, but these videos are therapeutic. Keep at it!

The leather midsole also just makes these look just that much better. Great work!

How about doing a shop tour video? Showing the machines and hand tools you use with their names and what they are used for. As well as the other supplies and products that are used in the business.

You really brought these hiking boots back to life, and I absolutely love the Oxblood dye.

Great video. Have a pair of these with hundreds of hard trail backpacking miles. I'm glad to see these well crafted boots restored

Such a great restoration. The natural leather midsole really finishes the look. It really has a vintage feel to it, which in my opinion is really stylish and being used quite a bit now in modern hiking boots 👌

if you want to know: Vibram is italian, so the “montagna” soles are pronounced “montanya” and it means “mountain”. no wisenheimerism here, my wife’s italian :-) and you are two really classy guys. keep up with the good work!

After 5days of watching your channel I bought whole set of sapphire cosmetics, sprays and some brushes. A lot of my shoes are made from suede. I spent 4days cleaning all my shoes and my boyfriend's and some of them looks like new, and some of them even after many years of wearing looks amazing. This keep me busy and chill. Thank you guys!!!

I absolutely love when I get off of work and come home to a brand new Trenton and Heath video! You guys are one of the few channels that I immediately stop what I was doing to watch your new content. Keep up the great work as always, gents!

I like how you guys explain the "why" behind your decisions and choices. That makes the videos so good. Thanks. Also, again, amazing work. Good work is art. Artisan? See what we did there?

I wish Merrell still made these. Great job refurbing these!

Magnificent job guys! I'd love to do this for a living after being in the tech world for decades. Just losing yourself in a craft has to be pretty therapeutic. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.

I am not sure why someone would dislike this video. There are a couple of points to make here, Trenton and Heath are brothers working together and that is no small feat. Family doesn't always make the best work mates or business partners. They are doing the videos in their work space, not a studio so audio and video are as controlled as possible. And considering the quality of the videos they spend a lot of time editing it as well. And finally most can not imagine the amount of practice it takes to get good at a trade. Not everything can be learned from books. Thumbs up guys.

I think this is my favorite boot restoration so far. This work is unreal, amazing job

The Potter magic strikes again! 😊 Nice work guys! Enjoy your weekend.

I always think there’s no way they’ll look new again then I’m always amazed then the guys work their magic. Those look fantastic. Masters of your craft.

Wow! 😲 The dye did an amazing job! Did not think it would be so effective. Another great job. Happy weekend, all! Thanks! 🤙

Thank you and greetings from the UK. I came across you quite by chance. The video brought back memories of my father, a master shoe maker and shoe repairer. I was particularly interested to see you heating the glue to form a better bond. My father did that - he called it vulcanising. He used the same process while making bespoke fishing waders - these had canvass uppers on Wellington boots and had leather soles with studs (for grip) or thick felt (so as not to disturb the fish!) or the original rubber cleats. He had the same machines you seem to have. My father often brought home shoes which needed new welts - he would hand stitch these with waxed thread which had a pig’s whisker at each end to thread the waxed thread through holes made with an awl. He really could make shoes talk! Thank you again.

Like the look of the natural leather between the to pieces of black rubber

The extravagant level of skill and exquisite craftsmanship that you all invest in your trade, makes America truly proud of you.!🇺🇸 YAY BRO!!!!

Worked in a leather shop right out of high school. Some of those tools really brought back the memories...

The most beautiful restored boot ever

I really admire your craftsmanship and watching y’all work! You never fail to impress!

I gotta say, ALWAYS amazing levels of craftsmanship. Mesmerizing every single time.

Man, you guys do amazing quality work with masters skills, keep up the masters class.

I like the way the natural leather looks on the midsole. I think you made the right choice not dying it.

The natural edge is great!!

the deafening of the noise during hammering is just one of the hundreds details these two gentlemen take care of, just to pursue quality with what they do. Nice touch and great work, as always.

This brought back memories I have as a child. Going to pick up repaired shoes with my mom and or dad. Was always fascinated watching the cobblers work. Happened on this video looking for leather repair. Thank you for such a detailed video.

The soles look better than they did new. Good job with the sole choice.

Love to see some new cowboy boots video soon,I got a pair if you want me to send them in😉

I'm kicking myself that I never visited you all during the 13 years I lived in Nash Vegas!! Thank you so much for sharing your videos, the process, and your reasoning for your decisions. I take a deep satisfaction in knitting (one of my crafts of choice) watching other craft artisans enjoying the process itself!! Love your channel and content. - a Nashvillian expat now in Portland, OR

Another fantastic restoration they look brand new.....

the natural leather color in between the rubber soles is a great touch. nice job

Loved the natural look. That was definitely the right decision. This video made my day.

All of these rebuild boot videos have a powerful lesson! Take care of your boots!!!

I always enjoy watching your channel. I have never been able to spend much on footwear (it probably costs more to repair one pair of these fancy boots/shoes than I have spent on boots/shoes in my entire 65 years of life, lol), but the care you guys take and the explanations for the work you perform make for very interesting videos. Thanks.

Recently got a pair of diemme fagiano,these channels really help keeping these expensive boots in good condition

Love your work man amazing

Love seeing hiking boots being remade. Very few manufacturers make boots for that in mind anymore. Only ones I know off the top of my head is Lundhags, Danner and Zamberland (which make them with a norwegian welt).

One word....MAGNIFICENT.

The difference from before and after was amazing. I was just commenting about your work to someone that wS unhappy with her boots from a local Cobbler here in Lynchburg Virginia. I told her to send them to you in the future

Agreed. The natural leather was a nice touch, makes them look more rugged.

I’m a Merrill addict. You made them better than new. You also explained why some of their boots peeled after wearing them for a while. Thanks.

Thank you gentlemen always a pleasure watching your videos. Great job on restoring these boots. Have a good weekend. Be safe.

They're called ring shank nails. You all do great work, I love my job and yours is the only time I envy anyone else in their work.

I think it would be awesome if you guys did customer reactions whenever possible! That would be fun!

Nice demonstration and explanation of the process. Good stuff.

Hey, just a quick little detail....Vibram is an Italian company, and the word Montagna (the name of the soles) means mountain and it is pronounced mon-tahn-ya. Just thought you might want to know! Great work guys!

Love the fact that you improved the boot with rubber in between the soles !

Incredibly satisfying to watch your workmanship, unique machinery and listen to your process. Gorgeous old school hikers. I have a very similar pair of Vasque Sundowners that I’d love to send you! I know it’s been said a million times but in an age of throw away your whole trade is a welcome respite and reminder of skill and pride in a true craft. Both your deliveries and descriptions were engaging and a joy to watch. Thanks!

Best boots restoration ever. . .

I simply adore my Merrells!!! I have so many pairs of them. I’ve had an ankle fusion and these are so comfortable for me to walk in. You did an exceptional job, as usual. Very nice!!!!!

Theses videos are always great

Awesome. Great restoration, I bet job satisfaction is high when you see results like this. Fair play, chaps. Thanks. ☘️

Great outcome.

A beautiful sight to see a real Artisan at work.this kind of work was carried out everywhere in England .every postcode had access to real cobblers but sadly virtually all gone.yes they still exist but only in handmade very high end shoes that are out of most people's price range.i wanted this work carried out on my berghaus boots cannot find a single cobblers.berghaus actually told me they no longer offer this service and would be advisable to purchase a new pair.biggest joke is they sell boots with replaceable vibram sole but you cannot get them replaced .

Man I would love to have my boots restored like this. Great work guys!

Just wanted to say thanks! I recently decided to try my hand at some simple leather projects and I bought an inexpensive set of tools from Amazon. It didn't come with much as far as directions, or uses for each tool; cheap awls, punches, and the like, and I figured all of them out save one. I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be used for until I happened across one of your videos. I don't know what it's called, but discovered the very useful pointy crochet hook thing that you guys use to sew the welts onto the shoes! Kinda like an awl, but easier I think. Since then, I've used it to re-do a pair of cheap sandals with new leather straps. I am interested in just about every type of craft, I suppose you could say I'm that Jack of all trades and master of none, lol. Really enjoy your videos; you're both very pleasant to look at, and I've learned a lot!

Wow, I enjoyed the process.

Lovely. Better than new. Really enjoyed the process of restoration.

Wow, awesome video. Thanks for showing the work it takes to restore a pair of boots like that. I just bought a pair of Merrell Wilderness boots. Its nice to see that they will indeed last nearly damn forever if properly cared for (or not, haha!)

I'm so glad and happy Trenton & Heath survived that horrible winter storm

A thin leather layer between the rubber soul and rubber heel block could have been a nice touch

One of my favorite boot restoration videos. I so enjoyed watching this incredible transformation. You brought these worn down & out boots come back to life again. They looked so dry & thirsty...& y'all gave them to drink! I was just wondering why you didn't put the cork on it? Anyways, aside from that...thanks guys for another wonderful video. 😊💛

Beautiful video! It's really a pleasure to watch the evolution! 👍👍👍👍

You guys really are miracle workers! Good call on leaving the leather natural. I like the distinctive line it creates. 👌

Look brand new, amazing work.

To no one's surprise you once again returned yet another pair of boots to their owner built better than the factory built them. Bravo gentlemen.

Love the boots and the redo. Kinda jealous of his dad. He will for sure get another 30 years out of them now!

Another amazing transformation! I agree with You on leaving the leather in the sole natural.

Great video , great craftsmanship

I love to see you guys do a deconstruction of boots and shoes as to why you can resole them. I have some Timberland MEN'S EARTHKEEPERS ORIGINAL 6-INCH BOOTS that I have been told cannot be resole, but have seen a number of videos on KZfaq videos of them resole. I am not an expert but would love to see a deconstruction of them as to why they cannot be done.

“Re-replicate that all over again” Tri-dundant? Haha good job on the boots boys!

What amazes me is the glue.

Wow ruggydy boots looks great 👏 👏👏

Beautiful craftsmanship!

I would love to see the reactions of customers after handing over there shoe's or boots in a mess and getting them back, I know I would be amazed to see the transformation and the persons reaction.

You guys reinspired me to take care of my boots. My last pair when I first got them I was taken care of them but as time went on not as much and then the uppers split just right above where it meets the sole but I did get over two years of good hard work out of them. My new pair I put on a good coat of waterproofing conditioner on them regularly and try to use my rubber boots more often cause I constantly work with water and cleaning chemicals that do a lot damage to leather over time but the downside to wearing rubber boots is they less comfortable especially when working on ladders.

I adore your quality and passion😇

Nice job. I like the new look better than the original.

That sound the round sponge makes gimes anxiety urrrrrr! Overall the video is very entertaining.

Amazing job restoration, love the leather included in the midsole, that takes it to the next level. I'm sure Matthew's dad will go head over heals over them. 😉

Great job. Good looking boots.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏

I swear I thought I saw a little 1 hitter bowl on the table near the lighter around 4 mins lmao I love this channel.

Great job on that pair of hiking boots. They turned out awesome.

Not usually a big fan of hiking boots, but these are pretty cool, especially with the work you guys did.

Mt. Gluvious sighting at 6:30!! Great to see Heath popping up in this one too...it's really cool to see you both working together on these

Gorgeous work

Walla, Very precisely done❤

Amazing.Thank you for great video.You are the best.Mitar

I think in the past I would have said to anyone just to buy a new pair of boots if they had shown me these worn out shoes. However, today the lack of availability of good quality foot wear at affordable prices certainly warrants this high quality rebuild.

I love watching I guys on Saturday morning. I look forward to the next transformation shoe. Awesome Job 👍

Beautiful work. I always enjoy watching this new videos every Saturday morning.

Look forward to each new video!
