Years ago, I stopped wearing cowboy boots, mainly because of my arches falling and other foot issues. I do have a pair of older Justin Ropers, black leather. They have a VERY short heel. I wear them when I have to climb out of my every day work wear and put on a suit. As long as I keep them conditioned and shined, they should outlast me! Work boots? I got 4 resoles out of a pair of Thorogood moc toe lace ups once. I wear these because they are soft and easy on my wrecked feet. Average resoles run about 3 times per pair. I absolutely love the work you guys do!! Awesome. You do "pretty" work, but it is also proper approach / methods. Artisans. Craftmanship combined with art in mind.

My standard thing with my leather soled cowboy boots is to have a rubber topper immediately put on from new by my cobbler. Cowboy boots generally have quite thin leather soles and I find that the way you walk in them seems to wear them out more quickly. It also adds grip and when the time comes all that is needed is a new topper and rubber heal top. Much much cheaper in the long run and makes the boots more useable in all terrains!

It's nice to see both ends of the spectrum, a budget friendly repair and a full on rebuild with upgrades. For some folks (who find it easy to buy off the rack) maybe they do better buying new/cheap footgear annually and filling up the landfill. Some of us need to spend a bit more up front and keep something a little nicer in service for a long period of time. I'm a big guy with big hooves, so I need hoof-covers that have good structure with quality materials, take care of them, and have them serviced. I also don't see a need to follow the latest fashion trends, I like the timeless stuff more. Nice save on those. Regular conditioning/inspection and shoe trees are your friends.

Something many people lose sight of too is, if I am just to replace the boots instead of the price of resole, i basically throw the old boots out. If the main issue is the sole, and the upper will make it through the life of another sole, get them resoled. Most of the break in period is the upper of the boot becoming pliable around the ankle and toe box, replacing the boots means you have to break in a whole other pair, which could take months before they feel as good as the old ones. Also, a lot of us like the scars and scratches on our boots, after a few years of wear, they remind us how long the boot has taken care of our feet.

Very good video. Those boots look 100% better! Having worn boots all my life, I've found that if you polish them once in a while and keep up with the soles and heels they'll last for decades. I've had boots that have lasted over 35 years. What eventually happens is that I'll get a hole in the upper where the pinky toe pushes on it - that's when I toss them out. Unless they're dress boots I resole with rubber, because smooth leather soles on wet floors are deadly!

In my experience, sometimes focusing only on cost can be foolish. I have a pair of Ugg boots that, at the time, I had owned for twenty years. I had taken excellent care of the boot’s leather and sheepskin tops. To my disappointment, the boot’s soles were attached with glue and began to detach. I took them to a well known KZfaq cobbler who is local. He rebuilt the boots completely with new insoles, midsoles, a Goodyear welt, and Vibram Kletterlift outsoles. The boots will easily last me another twenty years. What’s more, they can easily and inexpensively have new outsole put on. All tolled, the cost of the work was exactly the cost of a new pair of Uggs. However, as with many products, the quality of materials used after twenty years is lower in order to save cost and profit from an established brand name. Though the cost of the work equaled a new pair boots, the quality of my twenty year old boots is superior. And I’m very happy with the results.

Here is what I think. Sometimes a pair of shoes might have got some emotional bond or some history behind them. In that case it perfectly makes sense to go above and beyond and restore them even if it costs more than a new pair. But most of the times I have seen the gentlemen had never bothered to polish the pair of shoes even once after they bought it 🙂. in that case, IMHO if the restoration cost comes more than a new pair of shoes, it's always better to go for a new one. and it's purely my thought process.

Sadly as you mentioned people buy bad shoes. So those bad shoes are going to be cheaper to replace than a GOOD QUALITY shoe is to repair.People need to understand that cheap doesn't mean good, sometimes quality costs more, hence the reason you all have a business. Heads up guys you all do GREAT work. Keep on keeping on.

I have 2 Dan Post holsters for my 38 and a double handcuff case and I love em! But these boots' construction was pretty disappointing,kinda cheap honestly. Oh well,I love my hoslsters,one has been with my family for a good 35 years,plain black duty holster. The other one I bought 15/16 years ago,black with a white liner that roles around the edges,looks real sharp. My old man calls it my pimp holster!. Shoot just remembered,my duty belt is Dan Post too! Bought it new 17 years ago.
