I’m lucky enough to live in KW and have had two pairs of Redwings - moc toe and Beckmans resoled by this amazing craftsman! Worth every penny to keep perfectly good Redwing uppers on the streets! KW Shoe Repair is 10 outta 10!

Chris, Thanks for the shoutout! We are happy that I could keep your Redwings on the move. If you ever need our expertise again, we're here.

On the recommendation of my cobbler I had these put on my rangers when they were worn out. They’re very nice soles - if you don’t have a gravel driveway. I now track them into the house and it’s no fun with small kids. Just a word to the wise. Nice work though! Very ASMR.

Never seen a blaked heel Rand before! Genius! So obvious a secure solution! The boots now look like John White British Army Boots circa 1965. You must also have clean mind as well judging by state of your shop ;^) fabulous job!

Great sole for those boots. I know it's hard to do all the time, but I really appreciate that you have been posting a lot of videos recently. Thanks!

What a transformation! Greetings from a beautiful Minnesota morning - just down the road from Red Wing!

The Vibram Montagna is a real improvement; not to mention that giant slab of veg tanned leather. Now I am getting the itch to improve those rangers in my closet!

Should come with these soles as a factory option. I have the 6" Moc toe but have been concidering the iron ranger but think the soles look too thin

It's no mid-sole that's the biggest challenge, IMO. Wolverine has a lot more outsole combinations offered in the 1000 Mile.

The sole lasts but its hard and feels like walking on wood. When I blow through the factory sole I'll get it resoled with dainite or something like that.

I watch a lot of different shoe cobler videos. First time I have seen a Blake stitch on the heel like that. Very interesting to see how shops do things differently. Great video. New subscriber here.

So much better than the originals. My Rangers don’t look as rugged as I would like, but I love the leather. Taking them in for a similar resole soon. Great work, looks awesome!

Great video! Could use some narration at the end but unbelievably good work! You are truly a gifted cobbler!

Vibram 132 = Great for hiking trails?

Did you only put that thin mid sole on it photos afterwards look like that soul quarter inch thick or more?

So I’ve been watching countless videos of cobblers repairing and resoling shoes. One thing that I have picked up on is that when taking the old sole off ,with iron rangers it’s good to remove the old cork since it can get damaged and have air bubbles under the cork which can cause squeaks . Also , the videos I have seen and cobblers I have seen talk about it prefer to take the old shank and glue on it out since the old glue does not make a solid bond always with the new glue you put in. I’m wondering if the cork was replaced off camera , or if the cobbler felt that it didn’t need the be replaced and if the shank was removed and reset . On a side note I’m also curious to hear if it’s better to use a metal shank or a leather one . Iron rangers obviously come with the metal shank, but higher end brands like nicks uses a leather shank .

The process involves replacing old cork with new cork, and the steel shank covered with fabric is removed and reglued. These steps have been omitted for brevity, as many prefer shorter videos over longer ones. I hope this addresses your concerns.

Very nice.

I bought the Vibram 132 outsoles and then I noticed that they don't have both the little ©and ®next to the yellow logo, just the ® and also on the heel there's no "Vibram". Are they authentic vibram outsoles?

I don't have the authority to authenticate Vibram products. Kindly reach out to Vibram directly for assistance, as they would be better equipped to help you with this matter.

Great resole video. Are you able to resole Redback boots. I have 2 pairs that are in need of a new set of soles!

Doesn’t the Blake stitch damage the boot? Isn’t it important to use nails to hit the same holes?
