It's an occupation that was at one time, very common, but now is a niche industry.

As some of us America's would say..... you're a BALLER.... great craftsmanship !

Man this is way freaking cool. Love trades like this. Absolute art.

Ooh dam mate I wish you were in Scotland as I have a pair of German paratrooper boots which I got resoled and the guy who done them butchered them 3 times I took them back to him he didn't even use the proper all.in one sole he even used separate heel every time I wore them they fell apart I haven't had them done since because of the fear of throwing money down the drain again but you certainly know your profession .all the best and thanks for the knowledge I can arm myself with..

You clearly love your job. I'm absolutely fascinated by your attention to detail. Please keep up the amazing work ! You've certainly had some excellent training 😃

No idea why this came up on my feed, but I had 2 pairs of Altberg Sneakers when I was in the army. Best boots I ever had in 10 years. Great video 🤙

Nice work, it's always great to see boots get a second life.

Good job! You've given me hope for worn shoes, I've thrown out so many pairs 🤠

The boot repair was excellent as usual. My favourite part was that cool Rubik’s Cube pen holder.

Lol the sudden speed up when glueing made it look like that coffee had kicked in 😂

If the shoe repair man is looking like that i am interesting to see what your blacksmiths look like in your part of the world! Probably like Ronnie Coleman... Great video mate.

Always nice to see good craftsmanship.

Popped up on my feed, I love shoes and a handsome man.......I subbed...

I was always told it couldn't be done. I have a pair of Canadian Military Mark II boots issued to me in 1989. I have been wearing them every year except in winter (too cold in Canada) and they are highly polished. I need to find someone who can do this as I am now strictly instructing and the cadets can't figure out how I have kept them this sharp this long. It really is a spit shine. No heat gun or other gimmicks. Soles are getting pretty smooth.

Great video mate I did this job for 30 years still do it part time for friends

Great video. I am 73 now and I have served in the Airforce. As My pension is not brilliant I have had to repair several pairs of shoes and slippers, with various results. I bought a pair of german army boots some years ago and the sole on one of them is breaking up and the rubber was cracking. I used a soldering iron to weld the cracks and seal the crumbling parts. I don't know how long it will last but I know where to go when I need new soles. I live in bedford so its not far to go. Thank you, Mike.

Bunch kilotons of respect to craftsmen like you!

Vibram soles, THE VERY BEST on the market!

I've also got a pair of Alt-bergs which when I need resoling I'll give you an email. Real nice work on your mates boots, like the look of the Vibram Rocker sole. Atb Malcolm 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great job on those soles. I like those boots, and the soles. Now I want to track down a pair of those boots. If anyone knows where I can get a pair of them, even used, let me know.

There's a few army surplus stores online selling used pairs, but supply is sparse. If you're in the UK and you can afford it, you can visit their factory in Yorkshire and get a pair custom fitted.

That's what i call a real job, not a behind a screen and deskjob. But a job with real skills. :))

Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Good job. Altbergs are great boots.

Nice video, I’m just waiting on my Altbergs to arrive. 💪

I’ve had my brown altbergs from 43cdo for eight years and never even imagined I could get them re-soled. They are my most comfortable boots and would love them to get fresh grip! My only concern would be the cobbler I go to won’t do as great a job as you’ve just done! Great work mate. 👍🏼

nice idea to sand the sole and then use the same sole as a midsole , so the boot will be very resistant .

Great video! Very cool!

I like it VIBRAM ! This good channel repairing shoes, thanks my brother ,,,

Started watching 'cos i was thinking of doing my own soles...Yeah...I think I'll take them to them to a cobblers!

I brought some Karrimor boots with Vibram soles about 10 years ago and the Soles haven't worn even 1 cm ....the uppers are fcuked mind you but the soles are like new

Great shoes and great boy 😂

Amazing , enjoyed immensely.,

All I wear is Altberg Defender boots.. on my feet all day 7 days a week washing out my dog runs and out training the dogs.. only thing I will say about them is the soles wear out within 12 months on me

The sanded down original sole looks like a typical rock climbing shoe. Rock climbing shoes are used by strongmen to do truck pulls. Perhaps then, sanded down army boots would make good truck pulling footwear?

I've fallen in love with the comfort of Vibram , it's just I'm scared to take my Goodyear welted nice shoes to a cobbler to replace leather soles with Vibram as scared the glue won't hold and the sole will come off. This is exactly what happened to me years ago when some soles glued on by Timson's came off while I was in the middle of a browse in Harrods- very embarrassing ! Can I trust a cobbler to do the job without having to send my shoes back to the factory ?

Excelente trabalho você trabalha muito bem gosto de ver seus vídeos sou do Brasil 🇧🇷

How much would this cost to be done to the same pair of Alt-Berg please?

Dear " Tring shoe repair & key shop" I suggest you to use abrasive belts having silicon carbide-SIC grain, grit 36 or even 24 (exist even to grit 16), usually they are black color from most producers. Much better working on rubber than blue zirkonia belts. If you are interested, let me know I'll give you material codes. The trick is that silicon carbide grain is much harder and consequently much sharper than zirkonia grains, so SIC actually cut of rubber off compared to zirkonia, which doesn't remove rubber so efficiently and makes more heat. Try it, and you will see difference immediatelly.

Great vid. Always wonder how the soles are put on. Always thought they were stitched, or am I thinking of Dr. Martens.

Quite relaxing to watch lol, how much is it to get a pair of altberg defenders resoled please?

Классная работа! Уважение к тем кто умеет работать руками.

Great video! I was wandering if you could do a video of the man you did the heel/toe n hob nail n sole walking cadence down the sidewalk, past your shop in those boots? That would be awsome!

Fabulous

Great job!

Great video dude I’m ex Military and I know where I can get a new sole !!

Them trap beats tho 🔥

I just bought from the carboot a pair of Goretex army boots with Vibram soles. The first time I wore them, the sole crumbled into pieces beneath the Vibram. The local cobblers say they are impossible to mend. Is that true? The uppers are in absolutely excellent condition
