Amazing how the boots look almost contemporary. I had no idea those fundamental designs went back that far. That really shows they have stood the test of time.

There is just something special about watching a proper tradesman performing their skills. Boots turned out amazing

*Some are complaining that only the shaft is being used. That's because the shaft is in not too bad of shape and good enough to keep 😅 It's totally ok to rebuild boots. They do it all the time. People super commonly do it for sentimental reasons. It's valid 😊 I think the contrast with the old and new is great! It adds more life to the boots to be used much more! I did read the description and I know it was for entertainment purposes only. However, the owner may or may not use them. But still it does add life to them. They did an awesome job!*

New life to an old boot. Nice one. Personally, I would have preferred that the final stitches on the sole were channelled. I'm hard on workboots and would have worn down those stitches in no time if they were not channelled.

That's one thing that troubles me about the current boot construction.... It's such a small detail, but it really helps protect the stitches!

Agreed. It shouldn’t be that complicated imo, but those stitches are worn out very rapidly in the workplace.

Great video, no talking, all business. 👍👍👍

Wau ! Mega schön geworden 😍😍👍Respekt

Looks amazing, old and New at same time

I was a little worried these would get big Vibram V100 soles. The Cat's Paw just fits the old aesthetic so well.

As a 35 year finish carpenter, this is impressive

Beautiful!

Wow they are beautiful.

Wow, magnificent!

Certainly rare seeing Cat's Paw. Dr Sole captured their market nowadays.

Interesting and beautiful!

There's more steel in a Nick's boot than in a German Leopard 2A6 tank.

Dayum i really need to try nicks boats!!!!

Sends me straight into my grandfather's ax paradox. But beautiful work on both ends of the spectrum.

I can't believe those boots were just nailed together and that lasted.

What sucks is where I live, it is down to 3 cobbler shops. majority of the boot companies just make them disposable and not repairable. I have a pair of thorogood boots and one shop was able to repair them but had to wait a week as they still have business but still a reasonable time if you want them done right.

Great looking boots...no doubt. Well made. However...the only part that is part of the old boots...is the shaft. Everything else is brand new.

Spoko! Walnij Bracie! 🖐️

If you ever wanna open up a pacific-asia shop in new zealand im keen learn a new craft. We have some good leather tanneries local for horse, cow, and sheep leather. Our market down here were exposed more to RM williams chelseas and the good old wellington, so it is essentially and untapped PNW boot market, but these would be appealing to alot of men down here not just for the utility and durability but also the look. 😂 😆 🤣

Never see them removing the last out of the boot in any video I've ever watched. Would really like to see how that's done..

Now dig up the original owner and see if they still fit.

that when boots was made to last forever.

How do you know the age? From what I hear about nail down boots (my friends own Viberg), if you start offering it, I'd be interested.

i love watching these, i dontt get an asmr response, its just great to watch a true craftsman. but why go thru all of this when you can just buy new boots. i buy fairly expensive boots and i would just replace them.

Part of it is the savings in expense, a rebuild being roughly half the cost of new, the other part is that upper is already broken in.

⁠@@TheDoug2103I’ve heard that it’s been common in some branches to “liberate” used oil from the motor pool to soak new boots before doing this. I never served but have veteran friends who told me that. I can imagine it being true tho just for a bit of break in relief before all that running in new boots.

How do the nails not go through to the inside of the shoe or at least be felt from the inside? They seem longer than the width of the leather layers.

Is it just me or is it weird not having some sole cover that middle section?

Seriously, nothing beats a handmade boot. Even if they are 100 years old, your always going to spend a lot of time removing the sole and the heel.

There is still no way for me to understand _why on earth_ those heels should look like women's boots. The original shape was really good.

Do we know what brand boots these are? They look like PNW boots but not stitch down. Maybe they built them like that in the 30’s? 🤷🏽‍♂️
