Doc Martens Resole #37 

hi, dear boy, i am Hector from venezuela. nice work.

Hey Brian. Watching your videos make me look for a pair of shoes to repair. What's your mailing address? Thanks for your hard work.

Brian The Bootmaker how can I get a pair of boots resoled?

Great work, looking forward in seeing more videos. Thank you for posting.

Is this the same as being a cobbler ? Or is this totally different ? Either way it's great work 😊👍

moleprice agreed there is something to behold and take pride in. Watching the gentleman work gives one an appreciation for the work he does and is testament as to the fact that there still products made that can be repaired.

I agree - unfortunately, often times it's cheaper to buy a replacement than fix an existing. This case there was sentiment that swayed in the direction of the latter.

moleprice couldn’t agree more

moleprice Better when it was white.

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Yeah mate i totally agree. Guess he's going for the traditional look, but all the way through the video i was waiting to see how a pair of Docs look with a white trim sole. Better, it would seem. Not a fan of the original ones.

Seth _ My firend ship them over to the factory in england to have them resoled. In the end it was close to a new pair, but hey, thos boots hab a soul.

@@honestguy7764 I wouldn't. They aren't near the boot they once were.

"to boot"...nice. lol

@@Cimone90 yup ... and I didn't even plan that, but it so appropriately worked out lol ✌🏽

ominoreg Funny.

good joke

ominoreg right? I want him to do that to my 28yr old docs!

​@@anti-ethniccleansing465 ​ actually whats funny is that you guys seem to think dr martens are quality boots^^ you clearly are not very literate about boots. if i may educate you... they are close to rubbish, i'm sorry

Dang, I actually didn't read any comments before I posted mine. They are very relaxing. I wasn't sure why at first. Then it clicked. He's a young man who is skilled in his craft and obviously enjoys it. He takes pride in what he does. That's so rare now days which is unfortunate. I'm a highly skilled tradesmen myself. My profession is not very RU-vidable. I've considered trying to get young people interested in it. Logistics are too much for where I'm at. Job: Millwight/Fabricator/Welder.

Its like watching Bob Ross paint...very meditative, always a pleasure.

If you are in the UK Mr Minute will do a Doc resole, most good cobblers will take in the job.

They last forever. Mine has always been my dog chewing them up.

@Barry the Fish They stopped that, actually.

Solovair are far better quality

Dr. Marten no longer..

@@matthewbarnhart5874 Doc marten BETTER!

Love the skill and passion in his work. Is it an option to get new doc martens soles put on?

Negocios en TJ no?

Pete Escalona Lol

Marcelo Pereira there are a number of UK firms that will resole your docs for about £50..

Buy a new pair. It's cheaper .

David Coleman 🙄 Got a negative Nancy here. These old, restored Doc Martens are much better than a pair of new Docs.

The world is going down the tubes! Get your stuff repaired keep a skilled person in work! Buy wisely or before long we are all gonna be buying all our stuff from one warehouse! Amazon!!! One stop shop cradle to grave Jeff will sell us it all! Tyres to soilent green ! Brace for impact!! The wall is rapidly approaching:(

Blackwing Visuals ^truth

@@davidcoleman2463 - Learn to read. New boots have no sentimental value.

I was going to say Doc's aren't really Doc's without the airwair sole.

@Scumspawn ***** I'm guessing you're aged around 12?

Bonnie I agree, the air sole is what it's all about, great skill from the repair though

true. missed opportunity, but still better than the original.

The reason DR Martens doesnt do that, is that they're melting the sole on the shoe, is impossible to do that with leather (This is the reason a sole doesnt come lose of a dr martens shoe)

the spikes curl over like a stapler on his sole anvil.

How much would u way it would cost to get your shoes resoled, like in the video.

A friend of mine had some old docs when we were in high school and the boots were really well made. They were made in England. I think most of the new dr martens are made in China

@@h.k3260 yeah I'm wondering the same thing

These are the Doc Martens Tobias, cheaply made in China. The leather will still be low quality after the boots are restored. Trust me I have gone through many cheap Docs. Only the Made in England Docs are worth fixing because the leather lasts very long.

@@jeremyjdl713 nothing well made comes out of England

@@mipd1980 it was also used on the Callum plimsoll and the Maelly and Shoreditch boots, though I've not seen this exact style before

I'd say this isn't the first time it's been resoled.

I’ve seen that sole on a doc before. If I remember correctly it doesn’t have a traditional heel and was supposed to be more lightweight.

It was made made in China i believe. I was looking forward to seeing a MIE Dr.Marten being resoled.

​@@anthonynolastname2934 a friend of mine had a pair of Dr. Martens with this sole in the early 90s

How do you get the Air Wair sole? I've got a few pair from before Doc Marten had a factory outside of england that need it badly.

@@drvonschwartz If you're in the UK, Timpson's do them

@@drvonschwartz - You could rip em off a donor pair of trash docs.

Contact cement

Lots of UK companies resole dos for about £50, with a proper sole..

@@chrislye8912 Do you know of any that would serve the commonwealth of Canada? Timpsons won't.

@@matttherrien9608 I don’t know about Canada mate, sorry.

I think it's an improvement on the original design.

This is the doc marten retirement plan.

I was hoping to see the clear sole too.

The rubber soles on those type of Docs are complete crap. I have a pair in black, they're called Tobias (not sure if the ones in the video are the same model but they do share the same exact soles as mine). Trust me, any bit of water on any smooth surface will have you slipping, plus the sole on my left boot cracked in less than a month's use. On the plus side other than the soles, they're pretty solid and well made. The resole on these are actually an upgrade to the originals, which should of been the way Dr. Martens made them in the first place.

They look much better like this. The new sole is probably worth more than the rest of the boot.
