I have been producing leather products for 58 years professionally. I avoided Shoe building and repair. That all changed When a cobbler friend of mine gave me his complete shoe store and machinery, as he was having health issues and wanted me to carry on the trade. i’m not a big CZcams fan. I subscribed to your CZcams channel because it is direct and informative and you are true to the Trade. Thank you sir…..Ozarks Leathersmith
Thanks! Feel free to hit us up if you need anything.
Where are you in the Ozarks? I’ve got some shoes & boots that need some work.
@@mjc6131. It’s the Ozarks. You’ll never find him unless he wants you to. 😊
My Grandfather had a suitcase manufacturing, & repair company "El Paso Trunk" in downtown El Paso, Texas, his best friend was Tony Lama the boot maker. I spent my summers with my grandfather learning at his shop. He taught me how to make suitcases by hand. We'd have lunch with Tony almost every day. A hotdog and a coke. I watched your video to the end, it brought back great memories. I could smell the leather as you were working! Very awesome result!
What a fantastic story. I’m glad we could take you back for a few moments! Thanks for sharing your story and watching!
My Grandfather worked at Tony lama boots. He was a boot maker for many years. Downtown El paso tx. Menny Herrera Jr.
Very possible your team would buy skins and leather from family we have in El Paso. Small world.
I am surprised Redwing doesn't offer something like this already. It looks so much better than their stock boot!
You have any idea how much this would raise their price point? Instead of 250-300 your looking at 4-500
@@drshin9893 perhaps! Would be a cool option to have though!
@@OfDeath I bet this guy charged about 200$ so you’re in the ballpark already
@@drshin9893 iron rangers are 350 now, so 550 or so with what this guy did. Cheaper than Nick's or other pnw boots but still not up to their quality either .
@@markdwolf3198the hipster boot bubble will burst soon
You resoled my Iron Rangers with the addition of a midsole and the perfect Vibram sole and they came out amazing. I wear them all the time and I'll be sending them back when they need another resole.
Awesome! We are happy to hear that you are enjoying them!
Best looking Iron Ranger I’ve ever seen. Definitely gave it some PNW vibe. Amazing work.
Cleanest cobbler "work station", on CZcams. I can appreciate a cobbler with a "clean" work station. Lends credence to quality work. If a cobbler keeps his area organized and clean...then it is safe to assume...he does just as well with his cobbler work.
Some shops give me anxiety from the mess.
@@WyattDadCobblerCompany Messy work space = messy mind. Well done pair of IR's and very unique. Your recraft on mine is just fantastic as well. Functional artistry.
Thank you.
Your workmanship is great.
If more men in trades would work like you we'd have much better buildings, houses. Etc. Truly nice to watch your attention to detail and to hear the knowledge you give. Impressive.
I have been watching a fair number of boot and shoe resoles/restoration videos from other cobblers, and they are generally quite good. What I appreciate about yours is that you take the time to explain in great detail the reasons for doing such. The camera angles and close-up details clarify your verbal explanation. Your many decades of experience is also quite evident. My neighbor just had a pair of Iron Rangers done by you and he is very pleased.
Thank you! I’m also very glad he is enjoying them!
I'm so unimpressed with my rangers now after seeing these. Master of your craft
If Red Wing offered soles like this, I would have bought a pair already.
Good work. 👍🏼
I have been wearing boots a long time (26 years in the Army) and watching boot repair videos a while too, but I still learn something.
For most of my life my focus was to try to keep a decent sole on my work boots, for all the obvious reasons. I'm older now, still working on the ranch for the day-to-day stuff, but the much harder work, well, I get a hand with that stuff, like fences, veterinary tasks, trailer loading livestock, stacking hay, etc. Seeing this video, I realized, why not have a pair of boots that look good, not just function? This video really got me to thinking. I appreciate that. Oh, the boots in the video? Wow! So nice. Thanks, Tony.
Thanks! I’m glad I was able to spark your imagination. Customization is a lot of fun!
whites has something like these converted iron rangers. we just pay the whole price up front instead of in two stages.
Now, I want some! That is a wonderful boot.
I'm jaw droppin right now! This video was the best step by step video I've seen. No fluff, just showing superb craftsmanship! Those boots are incredible! I would love to send you my Redwing 1907's when I get some funds saved up. I love that everything is done by hand. This is definitely the best work I've seen out of countless CZcams videos that I've watched. Hopefully I'll be able to send you my babies sometime soon! Till then I'll will watch your videos and maybe drool on myself a little.
Thanks!!
Wow " EchteEichenlohe Gruben Gerbung" is the best stuff we have here in Germany. Genuine handmade vegitable tanning since 1645. Tanning process takes about 1 1/2 years. Love your work!
You really made a lovely job of those.
I wish I wasn't so old, I'd love to apprentice with one of you guys. The creative elements and the range of tools I've never seen before would be a hell of a learning experience.
Strong craftsmanship and skill on display. The close up shots are really well done and makes the audience feel as if they are in the shop watching in person! Kudos to your videographer! Commentary and explanation on your work is excellent, smooth and relaxed on each step of the process. This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on CZcams. Great Work!
Thanks! That’s our goals.
I like the work you done with the boots can I ask for custom made ones form my hubby??@@WyattDadCobblerCompanyhello I like the work you done w the boots
@@clarivelgomez1092 my apologies for the delayed response. CZcams doesn’t notify us about comments added to other comments. I just happened to be reading things and came across this. If you still have questions, please email us at wyattndad@gmail.com

Damn, that's a solid craftman. Excellent job. Love seeing a real man and American working hard making quality USA made equipment.
That is a work of art! Looks amazing.
While nothing replaces hands-on training apprenticing with a teacher I reckon videos like this are a great supplementary tutorial lesson for apprentice cobblers / shoemakers and also serve as documentation of the craft.
Great work Tony! Makes me excited to see mine!
These turned out awesome! Great Job!
You guys do some excellent work!!
Freaking beautiful! Love the work you do.
Another great job, Tony! The boots look amazing. You’re a true master cobbler.
Awesome work!!! You guys are definitely the best!!
Beautiful craftsmanship!
Those are like works of art. Thank you for explaining as you go.
awesome work, such a unique look, and great craftsmanship as always.
I like the look!! Also the craftsmanship is insane!
Top notch! Beautiful work
Top quality work, absolutely beautiful!
An absolute masterpiece
Thank you Sir
Christoph
Awesome modification and great videography, Tony!
That’s an amazing job, you do really good work.
WOW!!!!!!! I LOVE these!!!!! Great job!!!
The best IR conversion ever!!! You’re a wizard Tony!!!
they look truly amazing.
beautiful work from the hands of a master
Wow, what an amazing job. Glad the video was suggested to me.
I think you made that sole into Arnold Schwarzenegger mode! Beautifully done. I think Red wing is taking notes on the chocolate and thread match. 😂 I can hear it from here….”Why didn’t you think of that!” Thank you for a great session.
Absolutely love the finished product. I've wanted to convert a pair like this from awhile. Watched all the videos to do it, but this is by far the most professional one yet!
Very beautifully done!👌❤
Excellent Workmanship !!! 👍😎
A true professional. Beautiful finished product.
That is a righteous boot. Well done.
Those are really nice. You Know your stuff. Enjoy the videos. Keep cranking them out.
Excellent work as always.
You are a master of your trade and craft Sir
A pleasure watching your work... 🖐
Fantastic workmanship on your part, and agreat vision on the clients part.
That is one great looking boot!!!
Those look great...huge improvement
Nice job, those look great.
Everytime I watch you, I realize just how much I still don't know. Magnificent work. Thanks so much for the lesson
WHAT AN AMAZING UPGRADE!!! I want a pair done like that now!
I have just discovered your channel. I love the Infocus close-up detail view that you’re giving us also your explanation of what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Thank you.
I really enjoyed your thorough explanation of everything you were doing. I will probably never resole a shoe but I like to be knowledgeable on the subject
fantastic work & look to these! "Glue don't stick where glue aint at" Thanks buddy!
Nice work, they look great.
Awesome work!
God bless these hands for such a nice work
They look tuff! Great job.
Thats an extraordinary customization! Subscribed!
VERY nicely done!
Well done, awesome looking boot
Those Rangers look AWESOME!
Sr. it's been a pleasure watching you working...so satisfying...flawless handcrafting ...beautiful finish, congratulations!

Guys I had purchased a pair of red wing rangers before I saw your videos eventually when my sole need replacing it’s going out to you guys great work most importantly made in America priceless
Excellent work.
Excellently done and fantastic video production. Subbed.
I always liked the iron ranger but I have to say I really like them with a logger type sole! Thanks for your content.
Great work and great video. Thanks!
Great video! I make & repair shoes as a hobby and your explanation as you go is top notch and very helpful. Thank you for sharing all the tips and hard-earned experience, that is very gracious of you sir. Cheers!!
Thanks! I try to help

Excellent work! Greetings from the great Black Forest 😊

What an artist!
Great job!
Well documented work.. now I just need to go back to the other videos to find out what glue you are referring to 🙂
We use Renia superfix as an all purpose cement and Renia CDC for dense rubber
Looks fantastic
I just found your page. Love it!
very relaxing zen video...
That turned out great
I love watching a skilled craftsman doing his work. These came out great! Although personally, I would have skipped the logger heel
Another great job.
Looks great!
Just discovered you and that’s a fine boot.👍🔥
Tell Nick I said Hey and I hope he's doing well.
Great job, as always on the boots!
I will let him know!
