I really enjoy watching your videos! I have some Redwing Irish Setters that I really wish I took better care of. I put in thousands of work hours in those boots and have grown so much sentimental value with them..they're worn and stitching has been torn but I could never get myself to throw them away. I hope I can send them out to you one day to get them back to better than new! Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
They look great, and much better with your replacement welt IMHO. Agreed on the dark brown, but they still look fantastic. Hit it out of the park again!
Recién me he suscrito a tu canal , muy bueno por cierto , quisiera preguntarte si crees que el 1907 se puede usar para trabajar o es solo para vestir o cómo solemos decir para domingear.
Buenas noches Gerardo, muchas gracias por el apoyo, la mayoría de personas no las usa para trabajar, pero originalmente es para lo que fueron echas, yo personalmente las uso para domingear y en mis años de zapatero la mayoría de la gente las usa para echar el cotorreo!!✋🏻👊😅 saludos
Great resole of this 1907’s. I ruined mine after a few months of wear. Put too much oil on it (while it’s properly oiled from factory). They went far too dark. Cleaned them to remove oil and they lost the nice original color and now they are light brown grayish with almost black spots. My lesson, don’t mess with these 1907’s, just a little clean ones a year and a few drops of Bick 4.
@@AaronG2480 yes, but they recovered nicely after a while so I now only use a bit of saddle soap to clean and preserve them. That’s enough to keep them ok. They even protected my feet after I had a small accident with my motorcycle.
Nice work Aaron! Thanks for all your videos too! Question... Is there a difference between the Goodyear Tampa and the Vibram Christy? Is it thicker? denser? longer wearing? It's the first time I've seen one.
Thanks!! For some reason I’ve seen they last a bit longer, and yes they are also a little more dense!! Just a bit, if you ask me I prefer them over Vibram! By the way Goodyear has been in business for decades!!
I will never understand why a shoe in this price range is not made in this design and quality. In large series production, the additional price can only be minimal and should be feasible with such a high selling price without further ado. On the other hand good for our revered master.
I’ve watched countless videos of yours and I’m doing a pair of my own. I can’t seem to find thread strong enough. I bought 1mm waxed polyester and it breaks quite easily. Any tips?
Not really, the foot bed needed to be replaced as well,the foot bed is the main thing you have to check when buying used shoes if is not in decent shape don’t buy them
@@AaronG2480 okay thank you for your help. I will just try to flatten the leather insole out with my feet and the extra insole i use with the boots. The previous owners foot was too small so the leather on the big toe area is pushed up.
One, I suggest roughing up the welt just before you stain it, before you stitch it on. Two, I am confused by the work you did to the boot. According to Red Wing, the 1907 comes with a Storm Welt. The 1907s have two visible rows of stitching on the welt. To me, it appeared that you applied the conventional Goodyear Welt stitch, not a Storm Welt stitch. ???
(Storm welt ) has nothing to do with 1, 2, or 10 rows of stitching The extra row of stitching you see on the 1907’s is just for decoration it’s not sewn to the uppers if that’s what you think, conventional welt, it is the flat/Regular welt,not the one I’m using here. There’s a difference between finish leather and rough leather. By the way I do hand welting, not Goodyear welting,It’s the Machine use to sewn the welt to uppers what’s called “GOODYEAR “ Merry Christmas!
@@AaronG2480 I am not counting stitching as much as I am reading what is on the Red Wing web site. Not unless someone resoled the boots before you did, the 1907s should have had an storm welt when they left the factory.
