Alden Indy Transformation
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
These Alden Indy boots are a classic but we changed the style a bit. These come with 270degree welt and we changed the to 360 degree welt. All eyelets and speed hooks were replaced with solid brass. New split welt with blue stitching. Also changed the toe stitching to blue. Added JR soles and JR heel blocks. Added GTO sole guards and heels to finalize the deal.

I know, man. He goes way beyond repair, far into transformation. I love seeing the original products evolve.

Yes that’s it, I keep forgetting the name
I would not have picked any of those options. I like my Indys stock. But damned if they aren't absolutely beautiful!!!
I could watch videos of you strictly working on Alden Indys. I’m obsessed with these boots, i own 2 pair. This particular repair is INSANE! Wow, the finished boot is probably the slickest pair of boots I’ve ever seen. I love your work.
Wow, the work that went into these boots, we saw a little of one boot that has to be repeated for the other. They came out Flawlessly beautiful. What amazing talent. 👍🏻
Amazing work I originally thought the blue wasn't going to work but I was wrong for sure great job
You look so much better than initial videos. Your hands don’t shake like they used to, you’re groomed, you’re happier, you’re more put together. It’s so awesome to see you’re doing well! I love your work and I’m overjoyed that your life is going so well!
after some searching for the tool, some key words to find the tool is "cobbler tubular nailer"
Omg, when I saw your bandaid...I'm a sewer and that's exactly what I do
Your customer seems like a high energy, happy go lucky guy. It's obvious that each of you enjoy your friendship.
They sure turned out great 👍 I really enjoy these longer videos Steve. 🙂 I’m always excited to watch everything you upload. Always a treat to watch you work.
Great job. I appreciated your explanation about the difference between 270 and 360 degree welts. Thanks
Wow! They look fantastic!
Very nicely done. The blue matched perfectly with the brown and the leather layers of the sole look great.
Beautiful! You have such great pride in your work!
Hey Steve, great work. Thank you for sharing your techniques and wisdom!
Steve was miraculously able to change a Nick’s Falcon boot from a 10.5 to a 10 for me. He sewed a piece of leather into the heel. He mirrored the existing stitching on the boot, so the change is unnoticeable visually. I went from a boot that was always slipping in the heel to one that fits perfectly. I wear them all the time now. He is a magician.
Hi Steve, loved the wavy edge on the sole and heal. Brilliant as ever. Love and respect from the UK 👍
glad you got a fun environment during these times, keep up the great vids.
Beautiful! The blue laces and trim stitching make those boots really unique.
As usual great video! I really enjoy the up close up shots so we can see what is going on at that step in process!
Nice video Steve...👍. That brogue boot at 22:10, very nice...👍.
Those beautiful Alden Indy boots turned out absolutely SPECTACULAR!!!!! I love the blue, it’s my favorite color and shade - cobalt!!! Such a craftsman, they look BETTER THAN BRAND NEW!!!!
Those boots look amazing. What A lot of work. Virtually rebuilt from scratch. Love watching you work. Expertise. Beautiful pair of boots. Love the blue stitching.
Those are some beautiful boots. An amazing transformation. They weren't bad before you started but gorgeous afterwards. May have to look for a pair of those boots next.
That was too cool. Always excited to see an Indy boot transformation. Great Work!
Steve great work again the blue stitching and laces is excellent such stunning work 👍
That’s such a clever tool you use when repairing boots. Great job as always Steve.
Great video!! I was waiting all day for this to drop! Thanks for the content.
Great skills. When you mentioned "icing on the cake" I was thinking, more like the fancy piping that they trim the cake with. A work of art.
Beautiful looking redo ! Thanks for the video Steve..
They turned out amazing 💖
CLASSIC!!! Thx for sharing with us.
ABSOLUTELY ONE OF MY FAVORITES. LOVE THEM!
I love all your videos Steve, but this one definitely now has a top spot on my "favorites" list. What a complete re-do! This customer truly loves these boots--he had you pull out all the stops to restore them to better than new. And although I would have preferred red laces and sole detail (red being my favorite color and all), I think the blue looks great. Excited to see your next videos, especially the ones featuring the contest winners!
That is a beautiful job once again Steve, you are the best
Great job Steve.
Listening to you feathering that sewing machine pedal brings back some bad memories. So glad I went to a servo motor instead of keeping with the clutch motor. Love the transition of the Indy's, they look awesome.
Once again, beautiful work. Watching your videos lower my blood pressure, thank you Steve. Denver out
Wow Steve you did such a grest job on them boots. You are a master and I love all the close up views. Keep up the great work
Love watching you work!
Another fantastic job. Another fantastic hour of relaxation and fun for us. Another happy customer will recieve piece of art made out of his boots...
You sir are a master crafts man ,your work speaks for itself thank you for another great video...
Those were very smart Alden Indy semi-dress boots. Wonderful craftsmanship. Congratulations on their make-over.
Yes! Leaving in the customer video bomb was classic! Beautiful work, as usual!!!
Lovely work. I always enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work
What a beautiful work. 🙏
Awesome transformation on the boots. Love watching your work.
Was having a bad day, then Steve posted and saved the day!!! Thank you Steve!!

Those are really nice. I learn so much from watching you. Thanks!
You (your videos) have convinced me to try these boots, and I now have two pairs. Best money I have spent in many years.
Hi Steve here we go again with another job well done.I just can,t have enough of your videos oK, SO LETS CONTINUE.
Wow. What a craftsman. Beautiful 👍🏻
Boots turned out 🔥! Great work!!
What a relaxing video. You sir are a true artisan.
Wonderful remake of a legendary boot.
Let's continue! Thumbs up!
Ooooo I like the simplicity of the inner shoe hammer tool 👍💖 always wondered how those got placed👍👍
Steve. You are a master artist!
What a beautiful green bandage!!
Love your work!!
I just realized how huge those boots are at the end of the video when you hold it in your hand. Amazing job as always.
Amazing. It’s great to see craftsmanship.
I need that eyelet press! Spectacular finished product!
Great job mate. Looks fantastic
They are super fantastic 🤗 let’s continue 👍
Haha it is great to see the interaction with the walk im customers! You should do it more!
The best looking boot I've seen on the channel 👌 Awesome !
Loved your first aid to your finger it made me chuckle, dirty old rag and tape, but an absolutely amazing job thumbs up Steve very best wishes from Reading England 🏴 xx
Great to see the pride in your face. One can see you enjoy your craft.
Always learn something when I watch you. Nice.
Didn’t know workboots could look so beautiful!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I'll tell you what man you've tought me allot. I've watched you for a while and thanks to you I'm in the process of making my own boots my hand with 0 machines at 16 years old. I look up to you allot man keep up the good work!
Very fine work and craftmanship , I am impressed .
I just got a pair of Alden 405 F2s from the Shoe Mart and absolutely love them! As someone with 3E wide AND fast feet, these boots are the boots I never knew i needed. I work in a mix of office and warehouse settings so I genuinely need something that can hang along as workware and office-ish shoes. Vintage F. Imperaisl have been my go to but now I have these for my rotation. Id definitely recommend these boots. The price is steep but well worth the investment as long you add heel caps!
Amazing work again Steve 👍🏼
The cuts you make with that utility knife are bang on.
beautiful workmanship.
Phenomenal! Great works
I live in a remote place to avoid stuff like this. Glad you are back to what I love - your sure-footed craftsmanship and creativity. Better than watching paint dry :)
another "Wow" job. Imagine one notch up: a blue midsole... ;) Your range of imagination and skill is incredible.
Omg I love these!! I love the blue!!
I just got a pair of these recently. Most comfortable boots ever
Blue threads and sholazes ! I liked them alot ! Wonderful repair you did, best regards fron Norway and Harald K
Wow….awesome boots. Your customer sure must be happy. I would love to have those. Great job Steve
Yeah first and I’ve liked before even watching because we know you so well 👍🏻 greetings from London

I can’t believe I watch this stuff... but so interesting-wonderful craftsmanship!
Awesome, better than new! The quality of the job worths the price.
Stunning!
Thanks Steve.
Great job!
You literally put your blood sweat and tears I to your work... 😂
of all the cobblers you've got the best sole removal technique. you go one side at a time rather than trying to pull the whole thing off at once. your way takes way less time. kudos on your channel brother.
Great video and project!
So beautiful Steve.
Awesome job.looking good.
Years ago I worked for Brown & Root Corporation at an Industrial Plant and we used a tool similar and called it a "pea shooter". Essentially for the same purpose, to place nails inside the tube for hard to reach areas, then would slide the inside tube back and forth until the nail was driven. Regardless, the name provided by others in your line of work seems right on par. Thx for sharing your videos, love watching you work and the final product. Those are a lovely pair of boots. I've always loved Alden's ;)
Stunning
