Heath is a veritable artist when he's working. The detailed explanations and footage of the different steps in the repair of these really pay off in this video. Sort of like listening to a walking encyclopedia when he speaks. Another great video guys.

You convinced me these Tecovas are quality boots. I went out and purchased a pair today for my Christmas gift. Thanks for posting!

I've owned a few pair of western boots and just received a pair for Christmas from my fiancé. I could tell instantly the level of quality, far surpassing their price, but to watch you deconstruct the boot and point out that literally every facet of the boot is 100% traditional (excluding the seat, which is an acceptable swap), makes me even happier. You are also an artist and will be getting boots of mine to resole. (I just don't trust a Chicago cobbler to understand the intricacies of western boot's unique features).

I work for Tecovas and I really enjoyed your video! Glad you enjoyed working on our boots😬

As an old retired cobbler who worked on cowboy boots mostly.may I say you do excellent work.. Stay safe

I have to say that in my review of the Tecovas boots I have seen a few videos on resoling them. You by far are the best I have seen when it comes to resoling the boots. You take the steps and time to put the boots back in original shape. I appreciate the work and craftsmanship you put into the process. Thanks for the video.

I just bought my first pair of Tecovas, in part because of this video. They are great boots, and love the brass inner line you guys did. Great Video.

To me watching you guys repair boots is a fascinating art to watch.👍👍

I'm convinced!! I'll go ahead and purchase my first pair and pray you're still in business should mine ever need your artistry!!! Thank you for your integrity!

Wow! You are an artist! Great video! I now understand a lot more about cowboy boots than, "Hey! Those are cute!" I never considered just how complex the construction of a boot really was. How you can rip that all apart and resemble it with new parts is simply amazing. I thought when you first begin, 'well, good luck.' Thank you for teaching me something new.

I have the tecovas python, ostrich and caiman they are outstanding boots, i highly recommend them!

I have Tecovas boots. They'll need resoling in the near future. I live 100 miles from Brentwood. We lost our cobbler in Cookeville a couple of years ago. I now know where to go for repair work. I'm glad I found you guys. Good work.

Thanks guys! I greatly appreciate your video on this company's boots. It's what led me to buy a pair of their smooth ostrich Justin's. I had a set of Vibram sole savers put on by a local shop in PA as well. They're honestly one of the most comfortable pairs I own

WOW... I truly enjoyed your video. VERY informative. I learned allot through your process of rebuilding a boot. AND, the review of Techovas as a brand. THANK YOU so much. Great video !

This is so cool to watch! I don't know how I got started watching your channel but boy am I happy. What a cool thing! I'm super interested in this now!!!

So glad I found this channel since I simply love to watch a true craftsman perform his craft. Very, very nice work and as one who grew up wearing cowboy boots, I learned a lot. BTW - very nice camera and sound work as well.

I've been obsessed with their Shane ropers since I saw them. Not the biggest fan of the roper style, but that shape and the granite suede is just fantastic!!! I'm in the Austin area where they're based, so I will be heading in to their store to try them on! Thanks for the video!

My buddy just got a pair of exotic skin Tevocas boots you mentioned in the end of the video. They are really nice. You guys keep surprising me with different shoes. I really enjoy watching this channel. Keep up the good work. 👍

I own 4 pairs of Tecovas. Love them. The exotic pairs are just as supple and are easily the most comfortable boots I've every worn.

Came here looking for feedback on Tecovas quality but was fascinated with the process of resoling. Thanks for sharing your time and craft.

I own a pair of Tecovas. Great boot. Very comfortable. Good job on rebuilt

You’ve convinced me! I’ve been eying Tacovas for almost 2 years now and they just opened up a Tacova Store here in Fort Worth Texas where I live a few months ago so I’ll be heading there tomorrow to purchase myself a pair!!

I'd been seeing Ad's for Tecovas boots for a while now (I think I even randomly got a catalog in the mail) and had been wondering if they really where the quality they where claiming. Glad to see this video and get a informed answer from someone who can really tell the quality. Probably going to really consider Tecovas for my next pair of boots.

I recently found your channel. Love the awesome content you're putting together. Another great video guys! 😊

You are very skilled...I can appreciate what you do

Great video and very informative! I have been back and forth trying to decide between several brands and you sold me on the Tecovas. Just ordered a pair of Banderas!

Wow, you sir are an artist! I've always bought Lucchese - absolutely love them, however, now I'm 75 y.o. lady living on social security and can no longer afford them. I've been looking for a good boot without the big price tag. I've been spoiled by having such comfortable good quality boots. I'm sold on Tecova and am ordering a pair. Your video was amazing. Thanks for putting this up. Again, you are an artist!

Thanks for reviewing the Tecovas as you repaired them. I’ve been looking at them for my next boot purchase and they look like a good quality boot for the price. Love your channel, but then again, I love shoes😉

Love the craftsmanship. It is art.

Very impressed with your work! Craftsmanship, the only way to describe what you do.. thank you man; nicely done! Frank from Boulder, Colorado

Heath, One of your best videos. You definitely have an artists hands. Ben N.

Outstanding craftsmanship! Loved watching and being educated at the same time. Yes, Tecovas makes a great boot. I own a few pair and they are well made, not to mention a beautiful boot.

Pure artistry. Thanks for the vid.

I actually was cringing as you said that, Heath. So glad I could stop worrying about you keeping your thumb! Another nice video. Thanks.

Great video,Im from the U.K and buy my boots from the U.S and i am finding it difficult to find skilled craftsmen to maintain them for me,I love my boots and take good care of them but over here its a dying skill,we tend to be living in a throw away world.

Love the video......I’m convinced on tacova quality now...thanks so much!

Meant to stop in while I was up at our Brentwood office and pick up some saphir for my Daltons but didn’t leave the office in time. Good work boys.

Fantastic work...great job!

Really enjoy your video(s), I found it very informative and entertaining for footwear aficionados like me, keep up the good work guys, thanks!

I have a pair of Tecovas, in fact the same ones shown. I like them just fine and am glad to see they are of high quality. Have worn Tony Lamas for a long time and I think these compare in quality.

"Cowboy Kent Rollins", loves these boots and his KZfaq videos are great if you love cast iron cooking... You guys are killing it 💪💪💪. Thank you.

Such a talented craftsman

I'm enjoying learning about boots... thank you

That looks like a well made boot! So glad your doing cowboy boots. I’m British but lived in Canada for many years where my love of cowboy boots really took off, my best pair are a pair of vintage Justin’s in black full quill ostrich, beautiful comfortable boots that I found in the thrift store unused for $50! Justin were fantastic as I sent them the serial numbers and they told me they were a custom order back in 1986! What is it with Luchesse and Alden. I always thought them the pinnacle of US mass made brands but they both cheap out in various ways but don’t pass that on to the customer!

I have a pair of pecan full quill ostrich. Love them.

WoW!!! Beautiful Job!!! Them Boots came out Gorgeous!!!

You do some excellent work. I'm from around the Elk River, Minnesota area where our local boot store closed shop, the Boot Mender, due to health reasons after 40 some years in the trade. Purchased and had boots repaired there. Gonna mis him and his shop. Good to see how other brand of boots n shoes are constructed. I'm in the way of wanting a new pair of western boots. These Tecovas look to be the ticket.

Real nice work. Thanks for sharing.

i am in the market for a pair of cowboy boots. i haven't had a pair in 12 years . your video gives a lot of info. i too have been thinking of a tecovas. im glad to hear your opinion, that tecovas is a pretty good boot, constructed well. - you are a professional - good job, thanks. JDS/CT 12-5-19

Have a pair myself. Outstanding boots!

That’s it I’m getting a pair! Thanks for great video

Love Tecovas! Also Mikoleon is Guatemalan made and amazing. Full grain, Goodyear welt, etc. Mainly for women and children but they do have men’s occasionally.

Outstanding I was wondering about Tacova boots. Thank from San Antonio

Great work, Heath 👌!

Un trabajo perfecto, como siempre.

I have two categories for my shoes - staples and accents. My staples consist of those shoes which have a longer lifespan and often (but not necessarily) a higher price point. These include Church's, Allen Edmonds, Cheaney, Wolverine, and Crockett & Jones. These shoes are kept in regular rotation and, with minimal care at home and the occasional re-sole, will (and have) lasted me for years. My accents are those brands that I buy with the intent of occasional wear. Banana Republic, Thursday Boots, Jack Erwin, and Aldo are some of my favorites. These come out every so often and while I do take care of them so far as cleaning and shining, I would have strong reservations investing the money to have them re-soled. For the record, I am not disparaging these brands; the construction of the shoe runs in line with the price point and I would not expect a $135 pair of shoes to last a lifetime of regular wear. That said, I think they are a steal given the fact that I wear them 4 or 5 times a year so they do last for years. (I tend to buy a simple, basic shoe and nothing too 'trendy" - I can wear them for years without fashion regrets) One exception is Doc Martens. I have worn these for years and I have yet to purchase a pair that not only broke in very quickly but also gave me years of consistent wear. For $140 I think that they are a great bargain and one of the few brands that actually look pretty cool if you aren't the most disciplined when it comes to regular shoe shining.

Strangely reminiscent in some ways of a farrier shoeing a horse! Fascinating.

Really like your work. I’m a tecovas boot wearer and really like my boots (ropers). When the time comes for repair work I’ll be looking your shop up.

Love your channel guys, I’ll be sending y’all a pair of my cowboy boots to get re-soled soon!

That is a nice resole job!!! When my Tecova's need some work I may send them to you...

Great rebuild and a great boot.

Well, that does it! I've been looking at Tecovas for about a year and actually just went to the Lucchese store to buy some boots. Needless to say, I didn't purchase Lucchese, but Tecovas, The Cole, in Chocolate Caiman!

Just got a pair last year. Nice to see what is inside them and get your input on doing a resole. As usual a very good informative video. Thanks.

This man in my not so humble opinion is an artisan, I learn a lot about shoes and boots from him

This upcoming weekend I'm going to go purchase me a pear of Tecovas boots. 255 bux it expensive to me but this video helped make up my mined even more.

I have 3 pair, with number 4 on order. Great boots!

Very cool. Love my pair, sadly they had an issue with the shank so I'm getting a new pair.

I got a pair of ropers in calf leather from the "defect" sale they held in Houston and I can't find the defect, they look beautiful, and they are super comfortable. Probably the most comfortable shoes that I own.

I own a pair of suede Tacovas they fet like house shoes right out the box. had mine about 2 years now and they are awesome.

Love my Tecovas!! Good vid!!

They definitely do seem well made, if I didn't prefer a normal traditional work boot style I might try some.

Great video. Love my Tecovas.

Great job excelent cuality work

Nice work.

Great video and visited your website and found out you’re in my backyard - Nashville is the place to be - hope to be your customer one day soon

Thanks for this video! I'm considering buy a pair of the tecovas. I'm looking at the "cartwright" ,it's a calf leather traditional boot. It's nice to see how they are put together.

New episode!!!!

Very interesting and enjoyable thank you

nice work!

I have a pair of ostrich and a pair of caiman boots from Tecovas. They are the most comfortable boots that I own. You can’t beat the price.

Really beautiful job, Regards John

Really enjoy your videos & reviews of shoes and boots. Just watched and agree with your review of the shoes to NOT buy in 2020 but now I'd like to see your review of some affordable, quality shoes that we should buy, it would be very helpful. I like my Allen Edmonds but have given up on Cole Haan, Florsheim, Johnson & Murphy and especially some of the less expensive shoes which I've had and consider uncomfortable junk.

Great video! Getting to see you take the boot apart and talk about it was very informative. Have you ever worked on a Cuero boot? I've been told they are mimicking the Tecovas but at a cheaper price point. I've seen reviewers that have held each and said they seem to be equal quality, but I've been wondering if they are constructed as good or if they are an inferior boot when taken apart. Thanks!

Stumbled onto your YT channel today. Happy I did. Great channel. Show your boots sometime.

I was surprised to see the cork in the tecovas. I was assuming they would of skipped that step in manufacture. So that was nice to see. This was a great video and you did an excellent job on the resole as usual. But I would of loved to see the upper work, as they needed some serious attention. As those boots had alot of scuffs, discoloration, stains etc. That's one of my favourite parts to watch in these type of videos.

You guys rock!

I just bought The Jackson and waiting for them to arrive. Happy to hear they are made well. I did just discover a brand that may be better, but they have a limited selection; Chisos might be worth checking out! They are a little more expensive than Tecovas but still less than popular brands like Luchesse. Maybe you can give them a review.

Great video!! What do you consider the best construction 1/2 welt or 3/4 welt cowboy boots? I have both styles and was wondering.

Fantastic!

I just got a nice used pair of Tony lamas for $7 at savers lol. They're so comfortable.

I stand by my Tecovas...unbelievable quality and are right up there with more expensive boots. Customer service wise...they go outta their way to make sure you are Satisfied. Great video btw.

I have the lizard and caiman love them

In the market for a good boot. Something to remember my dad+ with. He used to get his boots custom made in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. This vid sold me. Thanx.

I have several pair and they are awesome 👌 🤠

I don't know what the hell you are doing, but man it's awesome! I came across this because I'm considering a pair of Tecovas. I haven't worn boots for 30 years and I want a good boot, but don't wan t to spend a fortune.

From 18:55 to 19:15 I would have thought that the new heals would have had opposing right and left rear tread. These boots appear to have two left heals to my eye. Maybe the vibrim heal only comes one way. Other than that, they look fantastic! Great work!

Your scythe skills impress me.

I'll make sure to send you my boots!

Gorgeous! I have three pairs of Tecovas 🤠😅
