Red Wing 875 Moc Toe Rebuild (With Custom Wedge!) 

Just got a pair of vintage 1980s Red Wings 710 boots at the thrift store for $1. Brown leather moc toe with near mint Vibram lug sole tread. No structural damage or loose binding but the leather parched and needing some love to resurrect them. The toes almost pointed upwards as they were used wet and put away without proper care that parched the leather. Applying about 7 installments Apple brand leather care leather conditioner have accentuated the creosote stains on the inner sides and heels adds some real soul and flavor to these boots. A REAL improvement.

Really appreciate the workmanship that goes into this project after watching the video. Thanks for taking the time to go over options in the store yesterday. Looking forward to seeing how the pair I just dropped off turn out.

Gunna be monstahs after this rebuild. Nice work continues. I don’t know anything about shoe re-building, but I know good work when I see it. I see it.

Excellent transformation Pablo! You do it right every time, thats what I love about your crafting style!

New to your channel. It's so nice to see a kid who knows how to do real meaningful work! Good on you.

Yes, Renia can glue PVC too! On the front it says: Klebt "ALLES" auch auf PVC - means: Glues "EVERYTHING", also on PVC. You did a fantastic job! Cheers!

what i like about this video is i learned something

Wonderiful transformation on those Red Wings. Thank you very much for posting this.

Those boots turned out incredible. great work!

Outstanding job ... subscribed! Cheers from Minnesota, and just down the road from Red Wing!

Outstanding remake!!

Incredible craftsmanship boots look awesome!!!

It’s always refreshing to see the amount of work and care you put into restoring these boots. Keep up the great work Pablo! 👏

They are a seriously good looking pair of Red WIngs now. A beautiful colour through wearing them time & again.

Nice boots good craftsmanship

Hey colleagues excellent job and I loved the products to building up your performance 👍👌

Nice work!

Great video.👍👍

Very good job 👍🏾 Much better than when they came in 🏆🏆🏆

Keep making videos Thank you👍

This looks great! I will steal this idea if I can.

I just might have to get redwing Irish setters done just like this. I really like the potential of extra grip. I love how they came out

those are some good looking boots

Great job! Subbed

Those Vibram Sierra soles. The whole job... amazing. Hope we can get those Vibram soles in México.

Love your work! What a beautiful job. I think the sheets of cork seem much better cushioning than the wet cork.

Great job!

Lovely job, I'd love this done to mine

this looks really great. I got the Vibram crepe sole when I got mine resoled but wish I would've opted with this bottoms instead

Those soles are bad ass

Post data additional comments to be done pretty works is to have on good maintenance equipment and you got that pretty awesome 👏

I have the same combi, very well done by Wijsman Cobblers in the Netherlands. Just be aware, your Red Wings become stiffer, the soles don’t bend as much as with the Cristy soles, heel is gonna slip more if you wear your moc toes a bit loose.

Lovely job. I never how many times you needed to hammer.

Awesome rebuild! What kind of brush did you use for the cleaning lotion? Thank you from Virginia.

Wow amazing job Pablo! Sometime soon I need to send my 875s in for this same resole. Quick question for you... I am having trouble finding the Saphir Oiled Leather Cream here in the US. Can I just use the Saphir Greasy Leather Cream or Venetian Shoe Cream as conditioners?

Very nice work! What would a job like that cost?

Awesome craftsmanship Do those soles come in black?

Once again, very nice work! I thought Red Wing used cork as their filler. Is it possible the previous cobbler who put that other outsole on was the one who also put the foam in there? Thanks!

❤

Mantap kali bos 👍

You mentioned something about vibram soles and urethane glue. can you dive deeper into that?

excelente job, I'm thinking about doing this to my 875s, about how much did this cost and how i send you the boots

Do you taper the welts for a clean overlay where it overlaps on itself?

Those Tan-ish soles are exactly what I'm looking for to put on my 1907's. I'm not a fan of the sole that came original on these. How much if you don't mind telling me, would it be for just a new sole in that same style tan boot sole? I would love a tan sole on my 1907's.

Just want to ask jow much is that kind of resole? I got 2 pairs of redwing moctoe that badly needs a resole like that...

I want to do this or go to a full lug with a heel on my thorogoods

I have Red Wing Copper Rough Iron Ranger boots that somehow get darker. I typically use saddle soap to clean and Bicks 4 or 5 to condition. Sometimes I use the Redwing cream which never darkened in the past. Not sure what I did, but they are so much darker now. . How can I clean or strip them down to the original color?

What is the best glue to use for vibrant christy sole replacement?

How can one tell what type of leather a boot is made from, like oiled as you mentioned?

Would it be feasible, when the time comes, to replace only the outsole on the custom wedge. If so, what would the cost be for replacing that only.

What type of the material did you use to custom the midsole?

So based on your preference, its worth having a new welt each time. But isnt part of the point of a welt to minimize the potential damage to the leather uppers when new soles are needed? Thats how Ive understood it anyway. Would it not be ideal to leave the welt for the first, possibly second, sole repair etc, and then swap the welt to start the process again? Just asking. Like to learn about the craft, so now im curious about this. Thanks

Renia Colle de Cologne *will* bond PVC as well.

How much did this particular service cost?

How much do you charge?? I want to do this to my red wing Irish setter boots the heels are worn out! How do I send you them???

Good job! May I ask, what’s the in between softer sole? I want to ask my local cobbler to do the same, but not with the standard christy sole as it is too thick and too white.

What is the cost for this specific resole?

How much u charge for work like that send me your info I’m in Canada

Hi. What do you charge for this job?

What does that cost?
