Grant Stone Diesel Boots Review and Resole 

Thanks for the shoutout! Boots came out great! Grant Stones are some of the hardest to take apart. Their adhesive work is top notch

As a warehouse worker at Grant Stone, I love the job you did on these. They look great.

I just love the running joke about sharpening the razor blades. I was laughing when you said if we have a weak stomach to look away because I knew what was coming haha! Take care, Steve!

The breakdown and explanation of the materials used really sets this channel apart from the other boot resole channels. Really appreciate that.

Grant Stone are my favorite boot company. I have 6 pairs and will be buying more.

Heads explode as Bedo goes in-your-face with the utility knife blade sharpening. "Hey Man, those blades are like a dollar a hundred!" Love it!

Everybody always compares grant stone to Alden saying that they are the new Alden. I was so excited to see you do this video to see what you, a big Alden fan, would think about them. Thank you for posting as always! Excellent video.

It looks like those Dr. Sole from Taiwan are gaining in popularity.

Great work Steve a nice new welt and sole even with the slight imperfection that nobody noticed until you told us a really nice pair of boots the customer reaction said it all top notch once again 👍

Hi Steve, those boots are a BEAUTIFUL colour, and that double red stitching adds a great detail. As always...much love and respect to you and yours from the UK 👍

Where have you been!!! We miss your videos

That’s so awesome I love customer reactions ❤❤❤ The boots were beautifully done. Great job 😊

Great video. Customer reactions are a brilliant addition if you ask me. Reading comments from other cobblers is informative.

The only suggestion I would have is to show the original boot at the end so we can really appreciate the change you made. Easy to forget how the boots looked when they came into the shop. Otherwise, great job. They look like a more expensive boot now.

Great video! Love seeing a happy customer. Beautiful work Steve!

My Saturday is starting out right, thanks Steve!

A talented artist, the drawing is wonderful.

Hi steve, very nice job as usual.

Can’t ask for a better result: a happy customer.

Another great job done , love your work and video's .

Love a bit of red stitching. Great work Steve.

My closet shelf used to knock some sense into me, every time she caught me in another closet with another shelf.

WOW!!! Those came out nice. Life is too short to wear shoes / boots you don't like. Hats off to the customer and you for making those shoes absolutely *his*. Also love the blade sharpening, I do that too after seeing you do it, always nice to get some extra life out of something!!! Trigger on! Trigger on! hahahahaha

Lookin' sharp Steve. Tim would be proud. ❤

The soles and heels are super cool. I love them on that boot!

Just another day at the office for the Steveroo...! The boots look great Steve and I think the soles look fine maybe a hair off but just getting them to fit must have been a real struggle... Awesome job as usual...Greg

They are so pretty now. Great job ❤ Big hugs from Denmark. 💝🌹🥰

solid china shoes. cracked me up wen you said " turn it off, fast forward " - i knew what was coming

These are my cousin Terry's boots!

I like the crazy guy that buys brand new Aldens and then has you add thicker soles lol.

The mosaic rubber Outsole looks very nice! It's creative Upgrade!

Well it’s been a long time since you have popped up on my feed even though I am a subbie???? RU-vid can be real weird at times. Funnily enough - not actually at all funny I had a fall and got knocked unconscious, totally out of it for a few seconds. Come round with a broken nose black eyes and now have concussion- not bad for this to happen on my 69 th birthday….. absolutely no alcohol involved! Anyways I hope your head doesn’t hurt as much as mine 😜. I have missed you and glad you are back. Nothing wrong saving a penny or two sharpening disposable blades 😂

As always amazing work Steve.

Thanks Steve. Another great job. 🥾

Interesting that piece of stiff paper under the heel. I've just done a pair of Crockett & Jones Chiltern chukka boots with a similar (but)grey(UK spelling) piece of fiber/paperboard under the rand, upper lining and suede, below the leather insole. What is really odd about the Chilterns is that they have a 360 welt to outsole stitch, yet a 270 only welt! The stitch continues right around the rand section! I see no purpose ... there are 11 ring nails going from the inside heel into the heel stack... that sucker ain't going nowhere, as you say in the US. Also, once the heel is nail tight up to the rand, the heel covers the stitches and you can see them unless you pry the heel away. The shoes have never been apart, the old sole was a Dainite private label sole for Crockett &n Jones.

Grant Stone using paper lol. 😂

You don't have to lie about being clumsy, and banging your head into a shelf. Don't be ashamed that you drank too much and passed out. It happens.

Hi Steve, great job as usual.

Awesome job Steve!

I think as always, awesome work

Well done. Keep up the good work

Nice work yet again!

It's hammer time. 😊

@SteveBedosLeatherwork where are you man? I'm starvin like Marvin over here for another video! Hope you are doing well.

Excellent work as always Steve! I own a pair of Grant Stones and wasn't aware of the fiberboard under the heel, little disappointing, but not the end of the world! They looked solid otherwise and are very comfortable. I'd like to see you work on a pair of Parkhurst boots, they are a Grant Stone competitor boot possibly with the upper hand since they use solid veg tan leather throughout!

Gave a like just cus of that sharpening blade moment hahhaha 😂 thanks Steve

Hey Steve! HAMMER TIME! Geez man, you make me nervous sharpening that knife, get you some 4 inch break offs. That's what I use, sharp blade every time buddy! Great job.

Great job as usual but i think the boots looked better the way they were.

Nice job they have a custom look..😊

Very interesting… rose anvil cut a pair of these in half and didn’t come across any paper

Cool boots, thanks for the video.

I have those boots in their Navy CXL and put 30k steps in 2 days on the 3rd wear. Not bad at all!

Maybe Grant Stone are the next pair I buy? Got Thursday captains, and BLKBRD Dixons...think I want either Grant Stone or something in that league next. I am liking the sort of $200 price bracket I am currently in.

I have a pair of saddle tan GS boots that could use a resole and am fairly local to Bedo. Wonder how much this would set me back

If you give clothes to your elfes then you will have to work by your own hands🤣 So keep them naked

looks great!

Wyett Co owner of GS his father worked for Alden allen shoe for some thing 50 years and the name of Grant stones was a sales man that sold Alden allen shoe for many years

Bellissime opere d'arte, sei un Maestro fantastico.😘👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾🥂👊🏻

SteveBedo Leatherworks I'm stravin like Marvin for a Leather video

Fantastic content 👌 👏 👍

HI, STEVE!! My Poppa wore a size 17EEE!😅

Hi Steve....nice shirt..👍👍👍

Great video

Ok it’s been 3 weeks Steve…where’s the next episode?!?!

always enjoy ur work!!! i wish u had shown more of the welt attachment…what were u using the flat bed machine 4??? wasn’t welt hand sewn on???

Hammer time

Aesthetically I think the Dr. Soles, especially the half sole version, is the worst looking sole on the market. Half soles on boots, and particularly that hideous tapered swoop toward the heel are an instant turn off for me, but you always do amazing work Steve.

I’m impressed with that quality the Chinese are capable of. I wish the people would take over and if they became a representative republic they would be unstoppable.

👍BRAVO ... ARMENYA

amazing

Hey Steve. Always appreciate your videos and your skills, your a Living Legend My Man. Couple of questions : Being that those Boots are receiving rubber soles, is it necessary to have Nice JR Soles? on a different note : How thick is the Brass Toe Plates you make custom for your Clients? Is that True that the Original Triumph Toe Plates were double the thickness than they are today? I thought I heard that somewhere and thought I'd ask someone like yourself who's Knows about the History of Shoemaking being that your Father was a Bespoke shoemaker.

Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽!

Not bad for beginner

❤❤❤❤❤❤wow awesome work

beauties 🎉

Hi Steve. I hope you filed a workmens comp claim. Yeah. Peace

A nicely made boot for being made in China.

The timeless look of a Classic sole versus ones that look like the owner walked down a sidewalk littered with pigeon poop. Yeah, what a beautiful look. Gives new meaning to wearing a pair of shit-kickers, I suppose. 😕 I'm sure the craftsman is fine, but these books were murdered with an ugly-stick without question.

👍

Why did the marketing team use "Grant Stone" and not something like "Jingna Zhang" for the shoes?

❤❤❤😊

boots How much 3to 5 hundred bucks, then this WOW, how much are they now 800 -1000, wish I had throw away money. L'm not jealous. i have some really nice stuff too, but on boots crazy hahaa . Doesn't he do great work!!! i really enjoy his work! not many great gobblers out there any more,

I'm trying to understand the construction of this shoe. How is the insole only half paper? Wouldn't that leave a seam or a break point? Are you sure the entire thing is not paper with the front half covered in canvas? I'm also assuming the insole your foot rests on is simply glued on top and not the actual insole/footbed like a Redwing. This is disappointing to say the least.

Wow

why dont you get the snap off razor blades? u dont need to do extra works sharpening it!!!

Head banger, hammer time 🔨🔨🔨😂

It’s a shame you didn’t have a fresh blade to cut that bend 😂

You are obviously in a league of your own, given your level of craftsmanship, but how does the average consumer find a cobbler you can trust and have high personal standards?

When you're using paper, is there a concern that it will absorb moisture over time causing deterioration thus shortening the life of the product. When I worked in construction years ago, I was always facing the elements of rain, snow, etc. and the thought never occurred to me...but I've since learned from watching your videos. Like they say, "Ignorance is bliss."

Is that a Norwegian welt? Thanks.

Where’s besta

Have you given up on RU-vid? I hope all is well.

Some people have money to waste some people have no money to waste 👀👅

“Made in China” for $400, but better construction than “Made in Massachusetts USA” Aldens that cost $600?

Funny: Selling point of Goodyear welted is the easy replacement of outsoles using old welt. Yet every other repair involves removing the welt, often for reasons of vanity. Let's admit we just like the style of construction and pay more for it. It's not economical.
