It's very soothing to know there still is someone doing things the way they are supposed to. This is the very finest type of craftsmanship.

This old school craftsmanship, patience and attention to detail is so refreshing to see around in this day and age. And from a young, talented man.. to boot. I can't get enough of this - very satisfying , relaxing and rewarding to watch. Love your talented work & videos, Brian🤟🏽💫💜🙏🏽

The rubber soles on those type of Docs are complete crap. I have a pair in black, they're called Tobias (not sure if the ones in the video are the same model but they do share the same exact soles as mine). Trust me, any bit of water on any smooth surface will have you slipping, plus the sole on my left boot cracked in less than a month's use. On the plus side other than the soles, they're pretty solid and well made. The resole on these are actually an upgrade to the originals, which should of been the way Dr. Martens made them in the first place.
