Nice demo of wrecking a good pair of shoes to do it. The soles as you could see were not even worn. Al one shoe need was restitching. Who payed for it 😢 I helped my father as a boy doing this very same work,
I stumbled upon this video as I searched for hogan shoes. I'm not aware that this brand of shoes is very expensive! I actually have bought one from a thrifted store here for only 14 US dollars, almost new! 😂😂😂❤❤❤
*I'm truly greatful there are cobblers willing to resole Blundstone boots like these! That looks like a smooth leathr. I have them in nubuck. I saw you left a comment about telling someone that these can have a goodyear welt on them too! I think they would also look good with a Vibram lug sole too with the welt! Anyway, great resoling here! I'm sure the customer was so happy! Blundstones deserve a chance tp be resoled indtead of being thrown away. Great video!*
I think what you do is great for restoring instead of just throwing away but my question is how much does it cost to have boots cleaned and repaired compared to a new set of boots
i've got a pair this summer and didn't wear them until the beginning of october (occasionally), after 2 months of use on normal street and home pavements (nothing crazy) they already began to crack in the middle. i'm ok if they begin to break after sometime but i also had unbranded 20€ chelsea boots that lasted almost 3 years before cracking while these expensive, branded, "quality" boots, which remember, cost no less than 150€, have such crappy soles which crack after 2 months of occasional use. i hear a lot of people have this issue and i think it's completely unacceptable. i had timberlands (which are not chelsea) for about 6 or 7 years now and they have 0 signs of cracking in the soles i'm never going to waste my money on blundstones ever again.
Yeah the problem with the bluestone sole, if it interests you, is that it degrades when not used. It needs to be worn regularly to not decay internally.
@@hansmemling2311 Yeah but i've got them this summer and they began breaking in november, after only two months.. the unbranded ones lasted 3 years and weren't being worn for many months straight. Not gonna commit the same mistake again.
@@vitellonealvapore877 that's because the unbranded probably used a different material for their sole but still I agree with you. I have redback Uboks, made with similar soles and I hadn't worn mine for 6 months and they are fine. Even though they also degrade over time when not used. Just better quality so it takes longer for it to start happening I guess. There are many other brands with amazing shoes though. If chelsea boots is what you are after, try Solovair. If you have normal feet, if you have wide feet I wouldn't recommend them.
