I'm 65 years old in Lakewood, Ohio. I remember going into "the shoemaker's shop" here when I was a very young child. The thing I remember most was the smell. I'll never forget it. I loved it.😊

I find the pure, unalterred sounds of these repairs so satisfying

Been in the business of selling shoes for almost 50 years. A good shoe cobbler is a must! I have kept many a customers happy by working with a good cobbler! Once you find one develop a good relationship with him, he will save you a lot of grief . great work guys!

Shoe repairers and proper cobblers are a dying breed where i come from in the UK my family were cobblers going back to the 17th century, my grandfather and his son (my father) sold their shop in the 1940,s and my father carried on doing repairs from home in his garden shed after his retirement. I still have all the old tools hammers lasts etc but sadly i was never interested in the trade and at 77 i am well past it but it was interesting in the video to see the tools being used although i notice craft knives seem to have replaced the original style. keep up the good work.. Thank you

I’ve seen other ‘shoe masters’ and they cut so many corners! This channel makes it art!

Masters of your trade and resuscitators of long gone shoes and boots. What an enjoyment watching you do your work, thanks.

Brilliant repair as usual. Amazing how leather is able to stand up to so much and recover so well. True recycling of footwear.

Never ceases to amaze what you guys can do to repair. Well done. 👍👍

I am always amazed at the craftsmanship and care that you guys put into shoe/boot restoration. I am jealous of the skills you guys have developed over the years, truly impressive. Well done on the boots, they look excellent, hopefully the farmer was as impressed.

I absolutely love what you gents did to this pair. This was a phenomenal rebuild. Cheers!

Just want to say how cool this is. I've always read that Redwing won't repair this. It's amazing to see the details of what the issue really is. And in a way I kind of now understand Redwing's point. But even more amazing that you guys were able to repair and resole the boot! I've always wondered and now it's answered.

True craftsmen. You make me want to get mine restored. With the prices of shoes these days it's worth it. Thanks for sharing.

I have to be honest with you... I (like everyone) love watching you put hot cork in. However... if I were to have you guys repair a set of boots... I'd prefer to have sheet cork. It just seems like it's more consistent in thickness, and may add to overall comfort in the end. Great repair as usual guys! Who would have ever thought that people would find watching shoe and boot repairs so therapeutic? Awesome seeing what it takes to rebuild something that looks like you should throw it out.

That was incredible to watch. Amazing craftsmanship.

I've learned so much from yall to the point I gathered up the courage to make my own repairs with just rudimentary tools. Have already saved several hundred that the day I actually pay for a resole, it'll have to be with yall because I need to repay you guys.

It's always so good watching a master craftsman doing their thing. Amazing work.

What a thoroughly enjoyable video. Wonderful to see traditional methods with age old machinery being used by skilled craftsmen.

These turned out great. Im always fascinated by how well a badly beaten boot can turn around and have a whole new life.

Watching those old boots come back to life was awesome! Thank you

What a great repair! I love what you guys do!

I’ve lost track of all the restorations you two have performed. I’ve found that the cost of replacement is not paramount to the owner, it’s comfort and durability. Here’s a suggestion: a tour of the shop and its machinery. The name & function of each, whether it gets your vote after repeated use, how often repair on that element of your business is necessary and whether some implement are no longer useful. I know you have engineered new techniques, so maybe a video highlighting innovations you’ve concocted to solve a problem pair of footwear. Thanks for your videos, makes me more conscious of how I select various brands (I’m unimpressed with a lot of new dress wear designs) and always listen carefully to your comparisons. I find them objective. Keep on, keepin’ on!

I love how much old processes and machinery are still used all through the jobs. It's sometimes nice to see old techniques holding up. Beautiful work as always

I really do like it when you guys do boot repair videos. I work outside a lot and I wear work boots easily 99% of the time. Great video and I'm really considering sending you my pair of Redwings that have definitely seen better days.

Just amazing! Thanks for sharing the content

Masters of their craft! Nice work!!

What a great job on the rangers. I never imagined you would save the one boot. Nice work guys.

I happened across this channel by curiosity. I didn't think I could be interested, but this work is incredible. You might think it's just a shoe but it's more than that. This is a work of art.

The trick is always seeing if Trent and Heath can work their magic on a beat up pair of shoes/boots . The treat is always seeing the finished result . Happy Halloween guys.👻🎃

Love every video, I do especially love it when you apply the hot corn. Also love the intro music. Just thank you.

Good lord that was remarkable, very satisfying! 👏🏼👏🏼

Love these videos so much! I needed a new belt for work. Headed straight over to potter and sons. Didn’t even look at any other brands as I knew yours would be the best quality. Expensive being from the UK but I know it will be worth it. I excitedly await its arrival.

Another challenge accepted and met. Gents I probably would have been shopping for a new pair until I found this channel. I can appreciate the repair work. I got 4 extra years out of my big snowblower with some sheet metal fabrication work learned from my father..a Tinsmith. Y'all helped me keep a pair of 20 year old Redwing boots going. FYI..still on first resole through Redwing but your videos helped me learn how to redurbish at home. Thanks guys

Beautiful job. Beautiful old machinery too.

Beautiful work guys, wow

A true art with true craftsman

Nice work guys! Keep up the solid work!

Awesome job. Bravo from Greece.

That Philippians 4.13 in description stoked up my fire, thank you.

Great job gentleman! Red wing actually makes nice boots . I’ve had a pair for 6 years now . They were 400 new . I condition them with mink oil three times a year to keep the leather soft and they are still going strong . If you take care of your leather they will last a very long time ! Thanks for sharing this with us !

Fantastic work, as always gentlemen 👏🏻

Great video, thanks guys ! Wonderful job on the iron rangers.

I love watching stuff like this. So relaxing and cool as all get out!! Its crazy we always worry of stepping on a nail and who knew they was all the nails already in them. Great job! I subbed. I was thinking at the beginning of the video with all the cutting ,I bet you have had some stitches huh??

Another one! Great job guys! Brought those back from the dead!!!

As always, it’s a pleasure watching you guys work on Red Wings. I can’t wait to send mine to you guys for the next sole replacement.

Beautiful work. 😍😍

I am amazed at the amount of labor that goes into making shoes! I can't imagine how a cobbler made a living way back when !!

You guys are magicians!!! Respect !

I live 10 minutes from the factory where Vibram soles are made. North Brookfield, Massachusetts. My wife's grandfather worked there after he came home from WWII.

You guys really went the extra mile. This customer will be amazed and pleased. Top notch work gentleman, wonderful result.

Terrific video, particularly because I have a pair of Redwings at the factory getting refurbished right now. It's interesting how similar this process is to shoeing a horse!

Great craftsmanship as always better then new.

Incredible that you were able to fix that boot. You didnt have a lot to work with and you still got it done. Excellent video!! Those boots turned out amazing.

Great repair! I have a newer pair I was thinking about sending over to get done if they aren't the type that are a pain.

Love to see your vids, I'm tempted to send my boots out to you guys all the way from New Zealand just to see you work your magic on them. Happy Halloween, lads! Keep the vids coming!

Beautiful craftsmanship.

Another great restoration gentlemen! I’m sure this customer will be beyond happy!

This is my dream job. I'm so envious. Greetings from Arizona.

Greetings from France ! Great job guys ! Merci !

Really impressive work! 👏👏👏

They look better than new. Awesome job.

Y'all are 'miracle workers'!!!

Nice work!!! The farmer knew what he had vs buying new and taking a chance; in most cases quality isn't what it used to be!!! A non-typical result, the boot pulling apart where typically the foot or leg gets injured; thinkin' lucky the boot gave-way, huh! The farmer asked if the boot could be fixed... and please do it you can! And that's what yall done. I can appreciate that. Be Safe

Another fine video from people who don't take care of their boots or are way too hard on them...A nice way to wake up on a Saturday morning with a new video..

Amazing save on those Iron Rangers. The boot restorations are my favorite! 🙂 It’s funny, I didn’t think anyone actually wore those as work boots!

Your craftsmanship, his number one

You guys are great, I am constantly impressed by your skill level. Awesome!!!

Love watching these vlogs

Incredible job. Really turn around the boots. Now it look so much prettier

Beautiful work! I have a pair of Reds w a different type of sole no one in Austin area could fix

Beautiful job on those boots! We are too poor to be able to afford cheap things, and having a good cobbler take care of your shoes is the way to go.

Fantastic job!

These craftsman videos are relaxing. I would do crap like this for fun if I had a garage and tools.

That's awesome!

You guys are the greatest!!! This was one scary recrafting!!! Happy Halloween T & H!!!

Great job 👏

Fascinating!!

AWESOME PERFECT WORK.....😁👌👍

I like the sheets of cork you used better then the heated particle spread

These guys are awesome.

Great stuff as usual. An upgrade you didn't mention is that you added a midsole that wasn't part of the original make of the 8111. When it comes time for mine to be resoled I'm definitely going to ask to have them added.

That is one good-looking boot after your handiwork, fellas...well done!

Haven't watched in awhile. Aren't you guys just getting better and better as what you do!

Watching you guys work makes me wish I had something worthy of sending in!

Amazing job!

Awesome job!

Those came out nice!!

Watching from Northern Ireland love the channel

Enjoy your videos y'all do good work.

Well done!

Love your work guys just frickin cool.

That's the thickest slab of sheet cork I've seen you guys put in. Paired with a midsole on a boot already broken in, that thing must feel comfortably close to a sneaker. Awesome job guys.

Just read an article about grip strength being, among others, a good metric for overall health. Based on this video, and the dozens of others I’ve seen, Trenton & Heath should be fit as a fiddle. Yes, they have some machines, but my goodness, the amount of elbow grease going into these restorations is darn impressive. Hats off to you, gents!

I love such videos and I just subscribed 👍🏾

Great Video. What a Beautiful Job. You worked very hard.

Excellent repair!!! It’s hard to part with your favorite work boots !!!!

Great job guys!!!

Great job.

Can't believe redwing has never put black lug soles on iron rangers. That + the white stitching are low key the finest finish I've seen on those boots.

The craftsmanship is amazing, guys!

Great job as always! I caught that switch up B-roll at the end. LoL
