Unfortunately haven’t been able to do much videos for a little while between the workload and family matters hoping to be able to start posting very shortly

​​@@CobblersPlusHopefully, I would still love the educational video go be done on what is acceptable to keep and what isn't. I know I have experienced lasting issues in the past. My issue is what is acceptable and what isn't? I am not usually picky but I have learned the issues of sometimes not being picky enough. I have had first quality Red Wing's that should have been marked thirds and not even seconds as an example. A janky welt is fine, a cobbler can replace it. The toes not being lasted right or I had a loose grain leather used in the back of a heel stay that eventually split. Things like that aren't fun or really that acceptable. I used Saphir's leather repair but ultimately it's an older wholecut 9111 Red Wing. You can't really fix it per say and it hasn't even had a resole. I brush, I wipe down, I condition as needed and I use Boot Trees. Nothing is really overdone but sometimes things happen. Learning through attrition sucks but it is learning. Learning through observation and others is by far preferable though.
