Great video

Very cool video and awesome upgrades to the boots!!!!

Thank you so much. I wasnt really sure if this was possible..

Thes turned out great. I just love the look of Vibram's lugs.

Georgias are incredibly durable despite some of the cheaper materials, especially if you don't get them wet. Mine had the steel 3-rib shank, rubber filler, rubber mid-sole, and plastic welt and heel cup. The Vibram logger sole was on there solid. The footbed wasnt even leatherboard: it was actually just compressed paper with some synthetic fabric over it. There was a leather heel patch covering the heel nails. The welt had those mini staples as well as the stitching and was a b*tch to get off. They tore through the vamp leather which was pretty beat up, so those are getting replaced, too. Mine had painted/finished black uppers. Decent quality but not the easiest to keep protected and conditioned despite using conditioner and Sno-Seal.

My boots are gonna be getting mailed to you guys. A pair of Iron Rangers and my Thorogoods . This channel is great

Haha! I love it guys!

GB152 greatest boot ever. My modifications are these: 1) Order 1/2 size bigger 2) By a pair of Spenco Cross Trainer insoles 3) Cut insoles and install. Enjoy the difference. :) Note: I like the wide model.

Do you mean the G6152? Was unable to find a GB152, Thanks for the insole tip though. Also found a G8152.

*5:34** I see the old insole here. Was it replaced with a new one after sewing the welt on? I usually see cobblers replace it with a new one before sewing the welt on. I suppose it works both ways? Just curious since I like learning about the process.* *The results of the boots are awesome! You all worked very hard to make his boots even more sturdier to last for a very long time!*

@@JinsKookieJams you are correct. We did the welting before replacing the inner soles on this one. It can be done either way, before or after. When the inner sole is still in good condition and the gemming is attached to it well, I prefer to rewelt first. It helps hold the shape of the boots better. If the inner soles are in bad condition or the gemming is in bad condition, I replace the inner soles and add new gemming before rewelting. Good question!

Very good upgrades and now a much better pair of boots 🥾

Is it easier to work on a brand new pair? (I just bought a pair of Georgia's) I like the way they look! You guys do great work! I'm into dirtbikes too! What a great vid!

Most of the time it is easier to work on new.

This is the first video I have ever seen about boots, I just buy georgias and take them to work. But seeing how you can upgrades these , I dig it , how should I go about finding a company in my area that can upgrade my boots ? Is there a better term for doing this kind of work ?

We offer mail in services if you can’t find a local company that can do upgrades and customizations. If you want to visit our website and send me a message of where you are located, I can look for someone in your area for you.

Good Job; well done! Do you know the # for that particular Georgia boot? And can logger boots with logger heel be resoled with the sole in your video or are logger uppers shaped or contoured specifically for high arch logger sole?

@WyattDadCobblerCompany

Unfortunately, we don’t know that model number. Logger boots can be resoled with lower heels. They key is to not go too low. Thanks!

Did you replace the gimping also? I know it make make the video longer but I would to have seen more of the insole and gumming replacement. Still a great video!

Did u keep the stitch-through at the toe? That really matters with tree boots.

We didn’t on this build because it wasn’t necessary for this customer. However, it’s not a problem to do for customers that need it.

So in your opinion what will be the best built brand of working booths ??

@WyattDadCobblerCompany

There really is no one brand that is the best brand for working in. There are a lot a variables to consider. People have different shaped feet, different bio mechanics and different jobs. That’s why some boot companies have different lasts and styles. I hope this helps. Thanks!

When you sew the parts back together. Do you use the same holes?

Yes, the welts are hand sewn to insure no damage is done to the uppers.

I have the same boot .the lower leather .is .widened on the rear ankles lower part.of tge boot ..and needs repair .

Ok great video but I see that you replaced the footbed in one boot and not the other ?

The foot bed was replaced in both boots. Elizabeth was welting one boot while I replaced the foot bed in the other. Once she was done, she welted the other boot while I replaced the other footbed.

It really does look like the old foot bed in the shots where she is stitching on the welt. Then it goes to a shot of a boot with a new footbed getting a shank.

@@NewRiverBoot I could see why John asked about that. It does only show the one boot being done. We don’t edit the videos. The editor doesn’t fix shoes. He was just going for good footage while trying to keep the video from being too long. The video also doesn’t show but one sole being stitched, but both are stitched in the end.

Hey btw do u prefer using like say mink oil or saddle soap to condition old leather boots I’ve been using just the cheap kiwi saddle soap and it’s brought a lot of life back into my 3 pairs of old georgias but it seems to dry up fairly quick so just wondering what your preferred method is

@WyattDadCobblerCompany

I apologize for the delayed response. I just saw your last message. We prefer Bick4 for a conditioner on most boots.

First time watching this channel. Great work on the boots, from what was shown. 👍🏻 I think I would have preferred no music at all, and more commentary explaining what's happening. No slow motion walking. And, wear a mic and stop using the mic on the camera.
