Custom Boot Restoration - JK Resole
Get the JK Custom Superduty now → www.jkboots.co...
Instead of throwing out his old boots when the soles wore down, this customer sent in his boots so we could work our magic.
Our craftsmen went straight to work, knowing how to carefully remove the old mini-lug sole and prepare the leather for a new sole and heel.
Even though this custom set of boots is worn bald, they have plenty of more miles to run.

Why are the old stitches not pulled out of the upper before stitching on the new sole?

Removing the old threads would leave large holes in the welt which could lead to the welt breaking down much faster. When our stitcher stitches thru the sole and welt it actually punctures a hole that the thread fills in. So there are those existing holes from the original build. At the point of a resole, the threads are very worn down and they serve as just fillers. We also stitch all resoles again, and if the threads were taken out and holes exposed, the stitching again could damage the welt further if they aren’t filled in.

@@jkbootsusayou can always just adjust the thread length on the machine so that it matches the old holes. Doing it this way tears up the welt anyway due to the extra holes. That’s aside from it looking like a rope running along the welt with all of the stitches. Everybody has their way of doing things, I was just taught different.

Yes but the leather is probably damaged by concrete/tar/fire so it has a damaged crust almost like a crust on a steak 🥩

I agree most cobblers do treat the uppers polish and hydrate the leather with a resole one other is that the Mid sole was not replaced ? ? ?

This beautiful resole is like lipstick on a pig.
Why did you leave the old thread in the boot when you installed the new sole? I cannot understand that.

@@jkbootsusathat kind of highlights the benefit of a goodyear welt, no? No need for new holes when resoling since the welt can be replaced and sewn to the upper by hand utilizing the old holes. (Wyatt and dad cobbler co does it this way.)

Didn’t like the stain at the end. I would prefer a clear sealer that showed off the wood heal and keeping the lighter band around the boot sole. Thats just my preference.

I’ve seen where they torched the old thread down so it keep the holes filled but removed all the surface tread.

You guys don't pull the old threads out? Why not?

Because they use such heavy duty stitch down thread and sew by machine, they can't ensure they hit the old holes when they apply new thread, so you potentially leave pockets between the leathers that has no material. This way you at least still have that old heavy duty thread filling everything out.

Our local cobbler does it that way also good to know I was in good hands by going to the local guy.😊
i wish i knew aout you guys before i ordered my nicks, there good boots im just breaking them in, the sock liner is already peeling up less then 10 hours in them, do you guys use sock liners and have much problem with them peeling up seems kinda stupid
Questions: 1.) Between the mini lug and V-bar, which lasts longer? 2.) I never lost an eye, but have lost/busted hooks (which is why my boots have 14 eyelets) Why did you replace the bottom 4?
Is this the harvester boot? Looking to have a set like these custom built of so!
You left the old stitches in????
So skeptical about that mini mug. Pedometer regularly hits 10+ miles per day for work. Cristi wedges last me about 3 months. How does the 430 compare to the wedges in terms of longevity?
Awesome! I am glad this wasn't one of those Damn shorts!
Why isn't there an option to have all eyelets when an order is placed? I'm not a fan of speed hooks. At least my 300s will have fewer hooks than my O.T.
