Moc toes are definitely not my cup of tea, but saying what you did here was marvelous, is just an understatement!

I’m a bartender at a wine cafe. I cut and stitched a sheath on my Doc Martens for a wine key 👌 big inspiration from Ms Rose

I’ve been trying to find boots like this online so I can show my cobbler what I want and you just saved my boot life. Thank you so much amazing.

I feel bad for this guys fingers and hands after all the stich work. Great job. Hope homie is doing alright, from one cancer fighter to another.

"Something Heavy (Your Mom)" just about caused me to spit beer all over my monitor! 🤣🤣🤣

That is a nice restore of a good pair of boots. One thing I have never understood is the white sole on a work boot. In a factory they pick up varying degrees of grime. They also pick up metal chips worse than the lug style you put on. When you were on a farm with livestock, they are a green after cleaning a barn that well everyone knows that isn't from mowing grass. Even with the lugs which take needlenose pliers every day to pull the steel chips from if you are on some jobs in construction you can't clean the lugs quickly so you either track mud or you take them on and off which wastes a lot of time.

I am blown away by this. Hand stitching!

when my 8” moc toes needed a resole I had the cobbler put on a honey vibram full lug. big fan of the change

The amount of focused work here is wild, messing up on crucial steps would set you back immensely. Neat.

I have never wanted a pair of these but goddamn that's gorgeous. For such a good cause too.

I wasn't aware there was so much time and effort that actually went into restoring until this

Those are some of the nicest boots I've ever seen 🙂 incredible restoration and amazing skill

Perfect boots! The correct height, the right eye and hooks, and the right kind of sole and must have heel. I’ve worn similar ones almost every day for over 50 years, thirty as a land surveyor that is on his feet walking in every type of ground. Sadly they are almost impossible to find now and definitely not of that quality! Envious

Boots turned out super sweet!

I hope he gets to use them for a long time - beautiful work. Good luck, Boot Hunter.

This was such an enjoyable watch. The vibe the asmr and the music playing in the background created was immaculate!

wow. the love and care you put into that is so apparent. bravo man, bravo. those turned out freaking beautiful. and for such a good cause. all seriousness aside, damn, i want to buy a pair of nice boots and wear them out just to send them to you to do this! joking/not joking. haha.

Absolutely killed it in this video..... Great set of boots. I will go as far as saying they are better now than the were the the day he bought them ...

Jaw dropping beauties! Really loved the way you went all out! Thanks for sharing and we wish Boot Hunter the very best

Those are some beautiful boots.

Wow I remember following him on IG a few years back, sad to hear the news.

Man I loved watching this.

I liked your attention to detail….you showed this can be 100% done by hand, loved the “pop up video” information on what used/price/company sold by” info…

NICE looking boot!!

The new soles look absolutely amazing. Im stunned, excellent work here.

I love how the outsole and midsole and heel stack look like sedementary rock layers, cant wait for more builds

Beautiful! Well done.

Thanks, learned a lot It’s nice that you shared the info on the materials used

Beautiful.

What a special video, this is awesome of you Weston! I'm really digging the new channel!

I absolutely loved this and want so much more. Give me ALLLL of the builds.

Way to help out a person that is going through a very rough part of his life. It's nice to see you have another channel to enjoy. These Red Wings look like my 4 yrs old Danner Bull Run Moc toes...You make it look so easy in rebuilding these boots. Which by the way, are my favorite type of boot.. Did you get married, this is the first video with you supporting a ring,,,? Thanks again for making another good video...Adding the big lug Vibram was a nice touch..

Love this channel!! Excited for more.

kinda liked the less agressive before look more than the after look. no doubt they are in better shape after repair though

You should turn a cowboy boot into an engineer boot

I want to see a black leather lace to toe logger with a BOA closure.

Those boots are gosh darn beautiful. I want a upgrade like that to my Perry’s.

Ottimo lavoro, gli stivali sembrano stupendi. 💯🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍾

Those look incredible. Love the cause too.

Those look great, and this was satisfying to watch. Best of luck to your friend in his fight!

Praying for him

Awesome work. 👍

I’m sitting here thinking “I might try to do this..” Then I thought about finding where I can buy leather & instantly quit.

Great build and video! Time to get that Landis K running!

Amazing! Makes me look forward to wearing out my boots. Lol.

Nice work. One thing I do differently is to use acetone to remove that funky painted on finish from the welt to get it down to bare leather so I can dye it before stitching it on. The end result is 👍🏻.

"Something heavy (your mom)" LMAOOO

Excellent work.

wow great job

You are only missing a Landis Goodyear Welt stitching machine. Hand stitching is a lost art with making boots. Excellent job. You would give Steve at Bedo's a run for his money reconstructing boots. Love the way you clean and condition the uppers. I did notice you used the water-based contact cement in some cases. Good call. Out soul needs Master's CC. Other areas are fine for water based cc.

Holy Moly!

Nice. Very Nice!

loving this

Got the EXACT same thing done to my Billy boots. I hate that damn wedge sole. Looks great!

Very nice

Those look better than they did from the factory.

The problem with adding all that sole is the weight, mock toes are nice and light, my iron Rangers are heavy and I don’t wear them anymore.

awwesome TY!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol at the 'yo mama' joke :D (in 05:07)

why do you have 3 separate channels for this stuff? I think I like this and your Rose Anvil 2 content even more than the main one, and I only found out about it now

Damn Weston! You look like a premier artisan straight out of Europe! Too bad you tied that f-ing granny knot! 😂

So cool

Could you do a Ross recommendation? On boots and shoes, you rate as good quality and cost. Love both of your channels. Hard to keep up or find which one, when you recommend a quality boot and shoe. Maybe it is on your website, or a special link in show notes. Keep up the cool work.

I'm more interested in where and how much that cool little drum sanding attachment was for the bench grinder!!

you are awesome bro keep it up big fan form Nepal 🇳🇵

This was not the most original video, but was still very enjoyable. Also, I am really looking forward to this channel. I have loved both videos so far.

This is a left field question but is there any chance you could help me find out how I can order the exact wedge soles that Carolina use on their wedge sole boots? I want to resole another brand with them because so far I am absolutely blown away by how well they're wearing and how soft they feel and I'd love to have these exact soles on all my wedge sole boots.

Try double midsole with crêpe … nice

Killed it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Fabulous video. This was worth every second of viewing and great to see the go fund me. What a great cause. Even if everyone donated £1. Gosh, how do you keep your edge bevelled so sharp? It’s the one tool I have issues sharpening.

Can you rebuild your pair of Lem's Boulder Boots? I love mine, and can't find anybody willing to try.

very good video. makes clear how difficult it is. when are you going to start subcontracting new japanese military boots

Why don't they make them like this in the first place? So much better

I mean, if Red Wing made their boots like that, wouldnt they just be like nicks and cost the same also?

Excellent video and job how many hours did you have on those boots

What happens to the pointy tips of the nails that go up into the boot?

What would a resole mean f this caliber cost? Looking to get my Irish setters resoled with the vibram 100 lug

What kind of Threads did you use for whelting the upper and whelt together

What are those dots on the camera lens?

Might be alot of diff chrometan varnishes causing the cancer IMO

These look good, but not every boot has to have the heavy lug soles.

You guys gonna offer resoleing?

What glue did he use? 😮

👏👏👏bravo!!!

You just saved yourself.. $150 buuuucks

idk if this is actually viable but if you could talk and break down what is being shown on screen it would be very nice, either in real time or post comentary would work

17:45 what song is that

Damn

720p ?

woow

What an improvement! I find the wedge soles horrendous to look at. This looks nice.

Can you please talk while working on it. It’s so weird to not have your voice in the video.

I wish you didn't do these ASMR style. Most of the time I'm watching RU-vid while cooking or doing something else, then it's good to have voice context for what's going on

Why'd you put polish on it you ruined the tea core 😭

I like the new sole design, but y’all ruined the character of the Black Klondike leather.

Who buys a 5$ toothbrush on Amazon ffs

Mo' glue mo' better

Hey, my mom is not that heavy! I’m offended! Not really.

Well this boot is ruined. Moc toes only look good with wedge soles in my opinion 😂
