Truman Boots Full Rebuild By Dimar Shoe Repair 

I live about 45 mins from you. I've been contemplating getting a pair of trumans and i said to myself ill need a cobbler as well. Thanks for the video and i guess ill see you in a few years for a re sole ! You do great work as well !

Found you on Bedos RU-vid. Nice video! Ty

Great work!

Taking off such a nice sole to replace it with a nicer one Beautiful work

Awesome job and cool boots!

When a boot maker wears your boots. They must be good boots. I've been thinking of getting some trumans

You did a great job with those boots, I am loving the color and style. My wife got me a pair of Truman boots and the style and finish of the boots are my favorite. You did a great job with your boot, really like the build, looks amazing! Great job!

Hi I am Ali from Scotland. Got your site from Bedo Leather. I love craftwork and shall continue watching your videos.

Another great video and a great repair on your boots. It must be nice to be able to work on your own boots and shoes. Thanks for sharing.

I love seeing craftsmen doing the work they love

Nice work!

Spectacular

Really good 👍🏾 job on the boots 🥾😎

guys today love their boots, a few years ago i bet they had 500 pais of seakers! boots pretty exspensive and looks like they don't hold up so well,seems i see boots with looks like nothing wrong with them being soled and heeled, seen the leather falling apart too. wonder what the next big thing to own or collect will be!

Nice pair of boots with some really good upgrades! Good stuff!

I like a natural finish the stitches were clean. Never thought to use Para cord for laces nice work sir

Great work!I prefer cork as well

great video! I'm glad you showed us that the Truman boots don't come with cork fillers and a fiberglass shank. I don't care about the shank but I do want a cork filler to be honest. I was going to buy a pair of Java waxed flesh boots with cap toe on the 20last but now I'm hesitating because of what I learned here. Thanks for the video.

Nice work! I understand the reason for using cork however It would seem that soft leather/rubber perhaps would serve the same purpose!!!???

Enjoyable and informative video. I'm a bit shocked that Truman doesn't use cork. Awesome upgrades!

Boots didn't look very worn.... Nice rebuild.

A nicely executed rebuild. It'd be great to see cobblers offer a premium all-leather rebuild package though with oak bark tanned leather as the filler instead of cork and an oak bark tanned leather shank instead of wood, steel, or fiberglass. Call it the PNW rebuild package or something. I think boot aficionados and traditionalists and people who just plain appreciate an all-leather construction, minus the outsole of course, would appreciate and opt for it. I know I would. And it'd be a good means for cobblers to generate a little more revenue.

great video. not sure I would have replaced the soles while they look that good but I'm not a cobbler : )

If the insole's thick veg tan, does cork filler really do any molding to the foot, other than just compressing?

Nice work. Why not use the moldable cork filler instead of a sheet?

Just found this and realized THIS IS MY SHOE GUY! After over 25 years, I no longer work in Guelph so it's a bit of a drive. He is the best!. Pablo, what type of glue are you using? I've watched a few videos and you don't seem to reference it. Thanks m

Hey Pablo, at about 9:50, looks like you didn't install a heel rand. Is that not needed? I have never seen a 270 welt construction without a rand. Can you please explain? Thanks!

When you glued on the midsole, why the clean line and no glue on the heel? Thanks for the video.

Beautiful work. What is the name of that specific leather Truman’s used to make your pair? It’s gorgeous.

Another great video that was fun to watch. I’ve wanted a pair of Truman’s but will pass now considering they are not using cork filler.

Did you not go in everyone of the old holes when putting the new welt on? If so why not

Why don’t you use a cork paste as filler rather than sheets?

Who is the mystery cobbler on the hammer?

So would you say you recommend Truman? just that you personally change two pieces of the boot. What other boot brand would you recommend that meets all of your expectations?

Personally i wish they used cork, the shank is fine but foam..meh. I was wondering how they kept the price as low as it is🤔 regardless a nice boot, I still intend to buy one eventually. Though I’d rather shell out a few extra bucks for the cork/leather or be provided the option on an MTO🤷🏻‍♂️ guess we’ll find out when I order. For the price it’s not offensive, it’s sensible. They wanted to offer rugged boots in cool leathers w a price that’ll place them in a specific group. Any higher and they’d be losing business to Nick/Whites/Viberg. Cause who’s their competition really? Grant Stone, Parkhurst. Red Wing? Oak Street uses foam too even though their misleading factory RU-vid video displays otherwise. Lots of fancy tricks out there nowadays, one of the reasons i prefer unlined quarters (besides that they roll beautifully and feel nicer). Companies love using thin upper and backing it w “glove lining”, tear apart a Thursday Vanguard for example and you’ll find canvas between the layers. Reeaal slick man. I’m sure you’ve seen these things. These are still a good boot, especially for the price and lead times 👌

would've preferred to see him rebuild a pair of boots that actually needed it...

Worn out? Those soles looked to have plenty of life left. Good content though.

Truman is expensive shank,plastic,

Not Truman's... Those appear to be Taft's going by the sole...
