White's Boots Restoration Resole - I bought these boots in preparation for the how to buy used thrifted boots video and I loved them so much I wanted to restore them. White's boots make some of the most expensive boots, the best boots, and the highest quality boots in the world so a lot of times the only thing that needs to be replaced on a pair of used whites is the top lift. This is a pretty basic fix that most people can do at home with very basic tools without the need of taking it to a cobbler. So in this video I show you how we "garage cobbled" these boots back to life with some basic how to clean boots, how to condition boots, and how to resole a boot.

Thanks for the amazing restoration. I do a lot of this garage cobbling myself. I’ve restored a lot of second hand boots in this way, I have resoled a few pairs of red wings and now I am making my first pair of boots from scratch. Videos from you, Trenton & Heath and Terry Kim Shoemaker introduced me to the world of shoemaking and I absolutely fell in love with the craft. I would like to learn from a master cobbler and maybe one day do this for a living. You are a great inspiration as craftsman and an entrepreneur to a lot of people. Thank you from Czech Republic.

Pretty sure that part of why most women's high heels are uncomfortable is because the heel is lifted too high putting too much pressure on parts of your foot that aren't well suited to holding your weight (granted I don't have first hand experience with women's shoes).

*He said he also learned from Bedos Leatherworks. Steve on there has used leather filler for marks in the leather, to smooth out the surface. You put some in the marks, smooth it out with a flat tool. Then you sand it. You repeat the process however many times you want, until it's smooth as you like. Then you paint dye over those areas to blend it all in. I think the boots really would have benefited from the use of leather filler.* *Either he didn't watch Steve's videos deep enough to know about leather filler. Or perhaps he does know about leather filler, and wanted to keep it simple for the general public 😅 I think I can see why since, maybe some people don't want to put the time into filling in cut marks in their boots. I know there's people out there who love the "character" in their boots with the patina, scuff marks, and the cut/gouge marks. That's completely okay! It makes them look interesting and cool! And then there's also people who do use leather filler. Anyway, people will do what they want with their boots, and that's ok. I just think it's cool to have seen what leather filler does. The results I've seen are amazing! You can barely notice the marks anymore, when seeing the shoes/boots up close. From a distance, you don't notice them.* *The results of these boots look amazing! The cleaning and conditioning did more than enough to enhance the overall look of the boots! Even conditioning the heels, the midsole sides, and the leather brought out a beautiful sheen! Good work guys!!😊*

These boots were in very good condition compared to what White's receives for restoration.

Since you got an hot air gun, use that instead of burning the wax. That's what came to my mind once when I cleaned my boots on my work table next to the tools. Also, If you preheat the clean leather, it absorbs the oils and waxes WAY faster. Just a bit of het tho, leather must be able to be touched!!

HI, nice video, really interesting, I have learnt a lot ;) Quick question: what would you use if you want to waterproof the whole boots ? I noticed that you use wax on the rigid part, but what about the flexible part of the boots?

@gunterg7309 2 года назад

There isn’t really a easy way about doing that without discoloring the leather, but if that isn’t a issue I personally use either huberd's shoe grease, or snow seal over the entire boot. You can find either of them at most sporting goods stores and it’s good stuff. All you need to do is heat the can in water off the boil, stir it so it’s all consistent, and rub it into the boot with either a rag or a gloved hand. There are plenty of other ways of waterproofing boots and I’m not going to say how I do it is best, but that’s how I personally do it. Hope it helps
