I’m the one who sent these in; thank you, so much, for taking the time and attention to detail on these boots. They look absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see his face when he sees them.

Leather is an amazing material. Just the fact that it can bounce back from an acetone bath is surprising to me.

Using a church story into a baldness ad. I respect that hustle 😆

Trenton & Heath, a short story on hiking boots. Until recent years when cancer etc. left me permanently and significantly disabled, for over 40 years I was an avid hiker and mountaineer here in the Colorado Rockies. One year my wife and I had a second honeymoon "walking" (i.e. rugged hiking) in the Lake District in England. I had a pair of well broken-in Vasque boots made when they still had similar construction to these boots. I made sure they were cleaned, lubricated, and ready to go. Sure enough, on the first hard day of hiking, mid-way between hamlets they completely blew out. It was the stitching too close to the edge that did that pair in. So I hobbled into a very small town that had only a pub, a small general store, and thankfully a hard-core mountaineering shop where I replaced them with the best boots I ever owned - a hand-made pair of Italian Fabiano hiking boots. They were way more expensive than our budget then, but to my delight, there really was no break-in period - the boots were comfortable from the first day onward. Quality in things you are serious about is always worth it.

I just adore you my 2 cobbler brothers! What a great work of art you have given us! Have wonderful Easter holidays!

Great job of restoration on what must be 50+ year old boots. Wouldn’t mind owning a pair myself!

These boots turned out awesome! The before and after … WOW ! I always enjoy your videos guys I can’t wait to see the next one…

Firstly, what a great old school pair of hiking boots and what a great job you have done. I did giggle at your acetone comment as when I was a teenager in the 1970’s back in Devon in England in the summer holidays I earned money ( my mum was big on me knowing the value of working for my own money) working for my brother who used to glass fibre fishing boat hulls. This was long before the days of health and safety and I remember at the end of a working day we used to soak our hands in a tub of acetone to dissolve the glass fibres! Thankfully, no lasting affects on me, thankfully, no lasting affects on me, thankfully, no lasting affects on me.. :) if you ever get to Austria, I’ll take you to my local church which is the magnificent cathedral in Klosterneuburg, you will love it!

Heath is flexing his hand stitching skillz - just don't ask him to do it for YOU! lol. Nice work again guys!

Those were some very well made boots, I’d imagine Danner? Great revival on these!

Half lemon’s worth of juice and a teaspoon is a good way to get rid of the tarnish around the brass. I use that trick on old cars with corroded original wiring

I thought it was crazy that my friend had her boots for 30 years I didn't know this was a thing. She had doc martins. She just bought a brand new pair on sale. I'm a tennis shoes person, or barefoot you can say...so I don't really buy "boots", but I find it interesting how long people will keep them, and then seeing you guys do all the work of restoring them. It's so satisfying even though I don't wear boots myself of coarse lol :)

You guys do amazing work and I appreciate that we dont often see quality craftsmanship anymore in the US. Good job.

I love the vids you guys do. I’ve learned a lot, and updated my footwear a lot thanks to you. I’m no long quite as much of a 40yo “vet bro”. I actually have bought a couple pairs of Allen Edmonds shoes based on your reviews. One pair was a nearly new pair of brogue derbies. I then started watching Elegant Oxford’s patina vids. I tried it, and was WAY too heavy handed on the dye. Acetone pulled it back off enough to start over, and after some cream polish and Saphir mirror polish I’m thrilled! Finally, your keeps promotion cracks me up. I was the guy balding at 22, but I went the other way. I’ve looked like Stone Cold Steve Austin for 20yrs now. Looking like an angry bouncer isn’t for everyone I guess. Great vids, and keep up the good work.

Great to see a father and son business doing well. Great skills to pass on.

Lucky me, I watched a couple of Nick’s videos yesterday and was curious about the stitch down. Lo and behold your video comes out today and the stitch down is explained! Thanks guys!

All the hard work you guys put in to make great videos is very much appreciated. Boots look awesome

Good morning guys. The boots turned out looking great. It would be interesting to know how much those boots cost when new and what a boot made like that would cost today. I'm also curious as what you used to remove all the heavy oxidation off of the brass hooks and eyelets and get them looking so good. BTW Happy and blessed Easter to you and your families.🐥🐰

When I was a Deputy Sheriff, I only wore one pair of Danner’s for nearly 15 years. Had them rebuilt by Danner once. Those look like a sturdy pair of Danner boots.

Great work as always gentlemen! Wishing you and your family a very happy and blessed Easter

I enjoy watching you gentlemen ply your trade. Thank you for these wonderful videos that are absolute proof that humans are capable of making a remarkable things. Of course, you are both craftsmen in the truest possible sense.

GLORIOUS, lovely pair of boots and a real pleasure to watch you extend the life of these boots, great vid.

This boot is one of a kind. It could be a great motorcycle riding boot too.

I’m glad y’all mentioned Nicks! I live in the Mississippi Delta and I’m about to buy my first pair. I know I’ll eventually need them resoled and I was thinking about sending them to y’all for that purpose.

Love your videos! Although many of these makeovers might not be financially worth it, they are certainly lovely to watch for different values. It would be interesting to hear more of your analysis and decision making process when working on the boots. I.e. what condition you think the uppers are in, what things are worn out in the construction, why did you decide to do choose this method of repair over another etc. This video was a good example where you did go into some juicy details!

“Legendary Shoe Savagery”! 👊 I’m convinced there’s nothing you guys can’t do! 👏👏👏

I loe the story of this shoe ! It literally alows a son to keep walking in his father's shoes. The historical signifigance and the family connection is priceless ! Awesome video ! And blad heads are great heads ! :-)

A pleasure as always watching you guys work.

Another one! Absolutely amazing transformation. Great job bringing those back from the dead!

Beautiful work guys! He is risen indeed!🤗

Didn't think it would work out but he has his memories looking great and ready to go through some more adventures 😀

the cow never imagined its cloth was used by another creature for almost half a century.

Brilliant rebuild. Really like the look of them.

I lived in Memphis for years and never knew you guys were over in Nashville. Great watching your Videos. - Tod from Cocoa Beach, FL

Happy Easter Boys!!!! 👌😎😉 Luck to you and your families, great video series with the stories and reactions I just love it!!!

Good job, but why are you using Rehagol (which is for TR/Latex soles) on rubber outsoles? The right product would be e.g. Kömmerling Halosol S. I bet Renia has an alternative aswell.

Fantastic video! I love the vintage shoes. The older the better!

Love when you guys do these old boot transformations love it great work.

I remember the old hiking boots, boy were they hard on my feet.

Solid old boots. Glad to see 'em survive and renewed like that. Nice work gents.

Love watching your craft & all the sounds of the leathers & tools. Amazing

Man, the first thing I thought whilst seeing you hammering in all those tacks and nails was, "Those look like Nicks!" Talk about solid, old school construction. Great job emulating the the inherent quality of the boots' construction. And looking forward to the Nicks collaboration. Great job, gentlemen, thanks! 🤙🥾

Curious what brand these boots are.

Great history with this pair of boots. Nice work guys, they came out great!

My favourite part of the video 4:43 The two of them opening the stich.

Happy Easter guys! I swear, every time I watch you resole a shoe, it makes me want to resole mine even if they don’t need it yet! 😂

Beautiful craftsmanship

A beautiful and thoughtful restoration/rejuvenation. Thanks as always.

When I read “Vintage hiking boots” I thought for sure it was my Vasque boots I sent to you a few months ago. I’ll keep watching till it’s my turn! Love the vids!

I have apair of old buffalo loggers i picked up in the uk very similar to those but with logging spikes in ... they look very old leather still in good nick ....

Hey guys I know you don't remember talking to me me but I had the privilege of talking with you about your dad and his Air Force career and I lost my son on active duty Air Force a couple of years ago. Any way still love the videos and I noticed you use allot of sapphire products, are those your go to products. I definitely would still like to visit up there and shake your hands and hear some of your dad's Air Force stories. Take care guys and keep up the fantastic work.

Those are beautiful. Immaculate work, guys!

The boots look like they are ready to return to the hiking trails.

Amazing looking,from what U started with.❤️

Great restoration, you guys looked more like cabinet makers than cobblers with all those tacks. Another great video!

nice work guys

I'm always amazed at the results y'all get.

Those turned out amazing! Great job and happy Easter fellas!

Hi guys, this was another amazing restoration of a great pair of used and abused boots. You guys are awesome and second to none. Great work on you guys part. Happy Easter!

Those are more like old friends than old boots. Nice work guys. Could you do a full overlay along the lower inch or more of the uppers and with toe-cap made with one piece of leather? "Stitched on" of course but probably needing a wider welt. It was fairly common for logging /caulk boots around here in Western Washington. Although nowadays I'm more into high end dress shoes but I still love my old high top work boots for in the woods. That was a Great video!

*I know where I'm sending my dad's old boots!* Good job guys!

amazing job

27 years from now my army boots would be 40. I guess I'll have to wait till then to send them to you 😆

3 Video's this week. Thanks for the info on the higher priced shoes, valuable information for sure. I am always amazed what you guys can do with a pair of beat up boots or shoes.. Truly enjoy your video's that you make..And, judging by subscriber number, other people do as well...

These are gona look incredible

Ya, I worked with a guy who went completely bald by age 22. I felt so sorry for the guy. My brother went bald at age 35. Wow guys ... great job on these boots.

*Great intro and segue into that ad at the **5:00** mark you almost had me not fast forward* 🤣😂

Great video fellas!! I didn’t see the link for your collab with nick’s! I am interested in that so hopefully I can figure that out!! Thanks again

They like Matterhorn boots to me. But they could be Danners as well.

interesting for myself I bought a pair of White's boot over thirty years ago I still wear them. They have rebuilt them 3 times so far. Now they cost $420.00 and we made just for me, Having measured my foot and leg in 10 different places. My dress boat were made by White's as well. They are the best

What do you guys do with all the left over strips of leather? Like the cuttings and the sheets which you press the midsoles out of

A reference was made to church. On that note please have a wonderful Easter, may God bless, us all.

Nice snap of the glove Dr. Trent...........LOL

Some of us are not interested in being on social media. Guess i'm not getting the boots or even seeing them until you post pics on one your videos.

Awesome job. So professional as usual, caps. ☘️

that was awesome build.

Job well done gentlemen. Have a great weekend.

Heath. What a wicked first name. Also good job.

So cool!

It would be interesting to see a boot repair that requires restitching/repair of the uppers. I have a pair of Pivetta Mt. 10's. On the 5th or 6th set of souls. Probably 5000 miles of backpacking on them. Keeping them is a sentimental thing at this point as the uppers need work. Is there a reason you don't work on uppers? Are the boots gone at that point? Want a challenge?

Awesome boot restoration guys!!!

Ok, I’ve got a couple of pairs of Justin cowboys boots of that vintage that I wore in HS so I enjoy seeing boots of that vintage. Mine are in much better condition than those boots however. Really enjoyed the video. And thankfully, I don’t need products from your sponsor. 😂. I still go have a full head of hair. 😊

Those boots looks suspiciously like pre-Danner Ft Lewis. I had a pair that were just godzillas I wore them many years.... love the videos and appreciate the time effort and interest in taking us along for the ride.

Those leather laces are thicc! You guys make em in house?

Great work.hand stitching those looked like a chore

Can we please get a shop tour with tool and equipment names, manufacturers and their ages!!!!!!!!! I would love to see and know all that.

Great job as always

You all should start adding like a 1-5 star (boot) or some type of animation slider in your video to show how well you think a boot/shoe was made. 1 boot= bad quality, 5 boot=top of the line craftsmanship. I won't request any royalties for my idea lol.

I have a pair of old Hall's boots I wore when I was a lineman. Those things are built tough. I would go through normal boots every couple months but the halls have held up for years. I guess with over a $400 price tag at the time, they should of held up 😂 I believe they are Matterhorn leather.

Folks: you can't smell video. I could as soon as I saw the acetone 🤣

Incredible job! Thank you for the video.

Much love Sirs xxx

So we got the Trenton & Heath haircare product. Now, the diet and exercise plan, please.

You all are wonderful hopefully I will be as good as you one day

Damn hand stitch probably took forever you guys are amazing

🇧🇩 Love watching u guys ..... Very informative , and satisfying watching ur videos ....... Love frm Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Great Job guys!!!

TBH I would not have rebuilt those boots. They look to have plenty of miles left in them. They did come out beautiful 😍

I was dumb enough to think I could resole a pair of boots myself ( got a 6" pair of Chippewas on clearance ) that I'm working on right now, and hand stitching a midsole sure as heck isn't fun. I had high hopes for them as a summer work boot but it turned out the soles were not slip resistant and I couldn't wear them to work. I started to resole them but realized It wasn't going well enough for them to likely hold up at work. Fast forward a couple years of having tossed them in a closet and I need a light duty shop shoe, so I decided to pick the project back up hoping I can at least wind up with something good enough for that.

I need this exact operation performed on my Georgia boots the lip on the sole sticks out way way to much I trip on steps and these things need traction just flat and need to be much much lighter these things are so heavy...I need your help!!!???? I don't remember my georgia boot being like this in the late 90's same boot too.
