After watching the video Steve Bedo did where he recomended Snellville Shoe and Boot repair, I thought I would take an old mistreated pair of Justin lizards over to the shop and see what Scott and Zane could do with them. Well I'll tell ya, new full JR soles, new stack leather heels, complete recondition of the lizard that was dry as the Mojave, the end result was as good as Steve would have hammered out. These boots look new, and weathered. That's what I wanted. If you have cowboy boots that need work, give those boys at Snellville a shout. You won't regret it.

Those are my favorite boots, the Lucchese Seville boots from the 1883 collection. It is horrible how much they charge for them now.

@GaryYoung-eq1ph Месяц назад

Lucchese should be always treated with tender loving care, always keep them polished , keep away from beaches, water, sun, and take good care of those soles, plus heels

@47solar43 2 года назад

Great video and description. How do you determine whether to use brass tacks or lemonwood pegs? Either type or both combined. Does it have to do with what type of climate the boots will be worn in?

I have a pair of El Dorado lizard boots that need work. One boot has a small tear that could stand some TLC. I really like these boots so if you can repair them I would like to send them to you.

@TrebleForTheBass 4 года назад

Great video! Just a little bit of advice - I would make your videos longer like 20 to 30 minutes. Most of the cobbler channels do that and it helps to show the processes you use in more detail. I’d love to see longer videos from you! There are not a lot of cobbler channels showing western boot repair, so keep it up and you’ll get a lot of subscribers

@snellvilleshoerepair 4 года назад

Okay thank you! I was thinking the opposite, shorter videos would be better so folks don’t get bored! But I can make a super detailed one that would lengthen them up! Appreciate the tips. Thank you for watching! Not really a videographer, just a boot repairman😆but doing what I can!

@TrebleForTheBass 4 года назад

Snellville Shoe Repair One thing most of us viewers appreciate is when cobblers explain things in detail and show us the processes and the art of your craft! Believe it or not I would love to watch an hour long video of you doing western boot repair

@snellvilleshoerepair 4 года назад

Brian Coltharp alright! I’ll have to do that!

@TrebleForTheBass 4 года назад

Snellville Shoe Repair So one more piece of advice for you… Instead of narration, you could try having the actual cobbler talking as he is doing the work. That way you don’t have to come up with a script afterwards to read. I think it’s more personal if the person repairing the boots is actually talking at the time of the service. I follow a lot of cobbler channels and that is typically how they are done and how they get the most viewers. Obviously you do whatever you want to do what is your channel! I just wanted to tell you what the viewers like and what I have noticed on successful channels. Hope that helps!

@yyyy2999 3 года назад

When stitching the outsole onto the welt...how hard is it to make sure you reuse the same welt holes perfectly? It seems like one small misalignment and it'll be a botched job.

@snellvilleshoerepair 3 года назад

They lay back into the same holes 98% of the time. A lot of times we replace the welt and don’t have to worry about it. Under the circumstances when a few stitches are out of the original holes, it’s very un noticeable. It would not make it a botched job whatsoever. Honestly, most cobblers don’t even stitch the soles anymore. Lots of things that sets the good apart from the bad! Not to say that cobblers do not stitch soles anymore. We have a lot of colleges that do top notch quality work. But your average cobbler shop just does a mediocre repair. Quick and cheap.

Can a Roper heel be put in place of a regular heel?

@snellvilleshoerepair 3 года назад

Possibly, depends on the boot, but a heel can be made lower with no underslung. Roper heels are typically 3/4”, cowboy heels 1 1/2”-1 3/4”. On some boots you may not be able to come all the way down to a 3/4” heel but maybe a 1 or 1-1/4

@BillionDollarZombie 3 года назад

@@snellvilleshoerepair thanks. Does it depend on how tall the original heel was? PS. I'm flat-footed so the less heel the better. And do you have a sole recommendation for all day comfort?

@tylerlepage8619 3 года назад

Can a pair of boots be repaired if there are holes all the way through the sole, like you could touch your foot through the bottom of the boot. Found a sweet antique pair of ostrich but whoever had them never replaced the soles and wore holes 100% thru on the balls of your feet.

@snellvilleshoerepair 3 года назад

Don’t rush, stay calm, pay attention to the details. Make the one boot just like the other. What will your initial role be in the shop? What will you be doing starting out?

@snellvilleshoerepair 3 года назад

Jerry Molina if you haven’t, watch some clean up videos like Kirby Allison’s. Watch some more of Steve at bedos leatherworks videos. He mainly works on shoes but shoes and boot are similar in how they’re made. Getting an idea of what you’ll be up against will help. But don’t try and do thing different than your teacher. Everyone has their own way of doing things

Cool! Im actually a shoe shiner. I was taught how to shine by another old timer who has been shining cowboy boots and men's dress shoes for over 40 years. Then I became interested in the construction and deconstruction of shoe's and boots. That's how I got my foot in the door.
