A BAD Resole Job on These Crockett & Jones Chukka Boots | We Refurbish Them Correctly

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

A customer brought this pair of Crockett and Jones chukka boots into our shop after another cobbler shop did a bad repair job. He wanted us to get them back to their original look, so that's what we did. After adding a new welt, Baker leather soles, and giving the uppers a complete makeover, these boots came out looking nice.

  • 4 жыл бұрын

    Oh, you'd be surprised how many are still left! Many people, even in this modern day appreciate bespoke shoes. I have a few pairs myself, and frankly, the prices for cobbled shoes over 15-20 years, even including the resoles and such, is comparative in price to getting new shoes every year or two anyway. Now, this does mean you need to maintain your shoes more, like dry and clean (as needed), wax after some use, YMMV, and get the shoes to a cobbler if parts come loose, or you damage your shoes. And well, parts will wear out, like heels or soles. You can replace only the heel, or even just the wear layer of the heel, which is much cheaper. The LARGEST benefit by far, is that the part of the shoes that feels nice and worn in (uppers) need never be replaced, and even a newly soled shoe will fit on your foot like a cozy dream. It's truly a wonder to wear cobbled shoes, and I can recommend trying to buy a pair. Doesn't have to be insane in cost either, you can get good cobbled shoes (not bespoke, though, but still hand made) down to $300-400 dollars, or maybe even less, but I'd watch out for those dipping lower than that.

The guy tried to “polish” the boots and completely destroyed the finish. Since he could hold the boots hostage until she paid, she didn’t have a choice but to pay him for the ruined boots.

    I have watched this video three times now. It just amazes me how significantly mistreated shoes can have some serious TLC and turn them into a completely new pair of shoes. And its abundantly obvious you love what you do. Such love and passion going into each part of the process. Beautiful work.

    I can’t tell you how many times in my line of work I’ve had to go back and put right the lax “workmanship” of others. It’s frustrating to know there are people out there with so little pride in their work that they’d let something like that go out the door in the first place. A pair of C&J’s no less... those boots deserved better and I’m glad to see you get them properly sorted.

If I were the customer and walked in to pick up my boots, I don't think I would believe that they were the same boots.

    English chemist Sir Humphry Davy named the element alumium in 1808 and then changed it to aluminum in 1812. British editors changed it to aluminium to be more in keeping with other elements such as potassium and sodium, while the Americans retained the spelling as aluminum. So as long as those US folks spell it without the second i, they are pronouncing it correctly. Unfortunately, in my experience, they spell it the British way, but pronounce it the US way. Tut tut tut lol
