Unsung Handmade Shoes & Repair House

Registrace 28. 02. 2022
Unsung is two brothers striving for excellence in the cobbler craft in Nashville, Tenn.
We have taken apart thousands of shoes and found the pillars of quality footwear by seeing what has worked and what hasn't. We believe anything that lasts doesn't come about by a workaround or shortcut and shoes that hold up longer are made using the best construction styles and the highest grade materials. We have worked with the entire spectrum of material qualities and have learned that the lower the quality of material, the sooner you'll have to repair again. Any money saved is quickly spent on the next premature repair and, in our experience, there is much more value in using top grade materials. It is so important, now more than ever, to be intentional with the resources we use. A well crafted pair of shoes or boots, with the proper care, can be a lifetime companion.

Vintage Sears Engineer Boots Relast and Restoration
These Vintage Sears boots came in for a relast and resole. First, we disassembled so we were left with just the uppers. We then made new footbeds with goodyear welt construction. We nailed the new footbeds to a last fitting the customers measurements, then lasted(changed the size)of the boots. After welting, we attached new oakbark pit tanned leather midsoles and a black Dr.Sole supergrip halfsole. We stitched the new soles on and started making new leather heel bases. After attaching the bases, we sanded them into a slight logger heel shape. To finish up, we conditioned and brushed the uppers.

Hey @UnsungHouse I was wondering about the sizing. In the description of this video you mention that these Kow Hoo's were little too big for you normal size 10 but what size were they marked as? Also how's was the quality of the shoe I haven't seen a ton of info online about the brand.
Mesmerizing! Great video definitely doing this.
Joooosss bro, greetings from Indonesia 👍👍👍
Wow! 😍
Turned them into Thursday Diplomats
Felicitaciones por su gran trabajo, pregunto...cuanto tarda en hacer un par de botas y de que precio estamos hablando....? gracias por atenderme TEO desde España.-
Great work
Professional!
Did not even cut a channel for the stitching? Know's how to get repeat customers ;)
How do these fit ?
Realized how high quality shoes are made! precise measuring, careful cutting handling makes marksman quality product...
I LOVE watching these videos. Makes me so excited for my engineers and it really showcases the craftsmanship involved. If someone is suffering from sticker shock it will be alleviated by seeing how painstaking it is to make boots by hand. Your boots are worth every cent!
Не знаю как при ношении этой обуви, но само производство красиво! Не уверен, что смогу повторить все операции, но я буду стараться. Понравились машинки, особенно для пришивания подошвы, выглядит как машина Апокалипсиса🤔🤔👍👍👍👍
This is a crazy quality repair
A new pair of Alden shell cordovan loafers costs about $800, so it's well worth it to have them restored/reconditioned. I bought a pair of Alden shell cordovan oxfords when I was 21 for $200 and wore them until I was 45. I tried having them restored but the leather had torn. So, I bought my second pair for $500 which I'm still wearing at age 64.
You not a cobler,you a Bucher you don't chench insol😂 work it's extend bravo
Absolutely stunning. I wish I could get a pair of those Boots... truly magnificent craftsmanship..how much are they worth
I like it, the only thing I don't like is the guitar music in the background
Like watching your high school art teacher paint over a Picasso, somehow thinking that doing so puts him in Picasso's league.
Masterfully Done

Great work!!
I would've been tempted to convert those to 360 degree welt
White stitching 🤔
Absolutely stunning. I wish I could give a pair of these to my husband... truly magnificent craftsmanship.
very nice work, I'm wondering if you had to custom order lasts with that heel height?
Thanks for the kind words. We were able to use our custom PBD lasts for this relast. With lasts there is usually a window for the heel height and what will still balance correctly. For this pair the heel height was close to the highest we could probably go for these lasts.
That heel stack though. 😮
Amazing work. They look great
Awesome!
So glad to have another video! What dictates when you use leather instead of cork to fill the gemming void? I'm thinking of getting leather on my next rebuild, but I've never seen a video discussing the pros and cons. Cheers
Maybe the customer specified that the leather be used instead of cork? From what I’ve gathered that leather won't break apart like cork filling over time of wear and tear. Leather is also more expensive.
@@wonkydonkey7899 I think you are correct, but this is our speculation. I'd like the actual answer from the pro, there might be something we are missing. Cheers
Thanks for the question! @wonkydonkey7899 nailed it. The customer did request leather filler, and yes the leather wont deteriorate like cork will over a long period of time. But leather is more expensive than cork. There's also no problem using cork as long as you replace it every resole. Using leather or cork will both work as filler. Hope this answers your question.
@@UnsungHouse Thank you for your answer. If I may, here is a follow up question. Is there a comfort difference between leather and cork? If not, is it more cost effective in the long run to use leather? My thinking is, with leather you wouldn't need to remove the midsole to replace the cork every time a new outsole is replaced. Am I correct?
I am so glad to see another video from y'all.
It's amazing how janky heel stacks look for awhile, and then they end up perfect. It really is the small details with engineers, and you guys nail em! Thanks for sharing another look into the process
That was an impressive job. The attention to detail on the finishing was impressive.
Unbelievable. This is my favorite boot making video
JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN ,FANTASTIC WORK….!
YOU ARE THE MAN WOW…!
YOU ARE A STRAIGHT UP BAD ASS!!!
I used to burn my $600 boots because I was angry after I found out it was not durable. As a person who studies about handmade leather boots, I would say these pairs Unsung makes are gonna last for 10 to 15 years. And are definitely better than Nick's boots without any doubt
Please make more of these!!! Super awesome seeing this method of making brass buckles. Much more different than sand cast buckles!! Have been trying to learn more of this method but very limited info out there! Thanks!!
you do nice work
Do all this without machines😅😅😢😢
I would have put a logger sole on that..😀
Speechless 😮❤❤❤
Un travail magnifique 😍 love from Paris France 🇫🇷💙🤍❤️ congratulations Sir 👏🙏
Super
Was the leather upper really of sufficient quality to merit the expense?
What is that type of sole called?
The sole we used was a Vibram 700 V-bar in brown cork.
Fantastic boots, but what do they cost.
Looked like the original soles had a lot of life left.
*I noticed you removed the cork filling, and didn't put any cork in the void area. What's the reason for not using cork? Or did you use cork, and not include that in the video? I'm just confused. The boots look absolutely amazing! Those are really cool boots! I'm sure the customer was very happy with what you all did 😊!*
Thanks for the comment! We did add cork, but you are correct that we did forget to film that step in the process.
