In this video, we give this pair of Carolina Logger Boots a makeover. A customer mailed these to us for a complete refurbishment of his boots, so that's what we did. With new Vibram Montagna soles/heels, and some additional upgrades along the way, this pair of Carolina boots ended up looking...new! Time for another restoration!

Thanks y’all for watching! What videos would you like to see next? Leave us some ideas down below.
Great work as always guys! They look fantastic! Much better than before!

Have you ever resoled a doc marten. Would be a fun video.
More thrift store resoles or cheap shoes getting upgraded as well are fuck to watch. Maybe from like an online store like Amazon or wish etc.
If you had really cool pair of old bowling shoes to be converted to street shoes, that would be cool. 😀 That's a totally random suggestion not-at-all based on the fact that you currently have my old bowling shoes in your shop.
What about the Nick's collaboration boot? 💚
I was bald at 23. The best solution for male pattern baldness is to be secure in yourself, and embrace reality!
Same man. Same. Nothing more embarrassing than a man trying to hide the fact that he’s bald
As someone who takes a lot of pride in their own craft (electrician) it is so interesting to see how you guys take care of the boots that let me do my job properly. I've gone and watched every upload of the past two years, can't get enough of seeing the quality work. Whenever my boots need a resole, I know who I'm sending them to.
Superb work guys - seeing Heath hand-stitching the boot shows just how much physical work goes into each repair.... And how you guys show such attention to detail in your work. Inspiring to see.
Thank you so much!
You guys killed it man. Awesome looking boots. This was a dying trade & you guys bring so much light and positive vibes to the craft. I really respect the hard work and attention to detail you guys put into each pair you work on. I am 34 years old & I went & got myself a nice pair of Thorogood moc-toe boots for work. I was so used to buying Wal-Mart specials until I found channels like this & Rose Anvil. HaHa now I'm a bit of a boot snob but I'm ok with it. The difference in having a nice pair of quality boots to some cheapies is unreal. IT'S WORTH IT! Especially if your on your feet all day like I am your boots are the most valuable tool you can have & it's often overlooked.
Thank you. Yes, definitely worth it to buy a more quality shoe.
My Grampa had a shoe repair shop in his basement. When I was in town, I would go down and watch him do his stuff. I was mesmerized every single time. A wonderful memory for me each and every time I watch your videos.
I am more than impressed with Trent and Heath’s manner and style, Superlative quality and craftsmanship that is rarely seen today….. outstanding work!
Wow! Have never seen a logger heel rebuilt--all those layers of leather! And to see the sole even just partially hand stitched, now that is amazing work.
Great job! And really looking forward to any updates, and possibly a future video, on Heath's dress shoe build.
Happy weekend to all! Mahalo! 🤙
Thanks, Jon!
@@TrentonHeath how much would a resole just like this one cost? I have the exact same boots and you have made them better than new!

When I first saw the boots I said to myself “ Geez , who ever owns these boots should just have thrown them in the garage because not even these two guys will be able to do much for them ! “ In the end of the video I was highly impressed again ! You guys perform the unimaginable ! The boots look really fabulous ! Every-time I think NAH ... these shoes or boots are beyond repair , you guys always soar high as smooth as eagles and prove me wrong ! I love 💕 this channel because you guys are masters of your art and I’m always excited to see what the end results will be ! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us viewers ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍♥️♥️♥️🥰🥰🥰😊😊😊
Here I sit, relaxing on the back porch in South Texas, 61 degrees, drinking coffee, watching another excellent boot rebuild videos by two pros, listening to blue jays squawking, and reflecting on being thankful with Thanksgiving around the corner. If I start complaining, slap me silly. In spite of adversity, life is good and I am blessed.
Mike, you’re the man! Sounds like a wonderful life! Truly blessed.
Here I thought I was the only South Texan on here…lol
These shoe restorations are my new fascination. Thanks fellas for sharing your experience and satisfying my eternal curiosity
I’m in no way a shoe repair person. I don’t wear boots or shoes that would ever be repaired. However I love watching your videos. That says something about your content. Nice job guys ! Keep up the great work.
My experience with Carolina boots is that they are rough and tough and take awhile to get comfortable. But worth the wait!😋
Were they made in China? .... my CA8821's sole delaminated in less than a year. .. Mine were definitely cheaper made than this video.
I would have no idea. However I expect some if not all Carolina products are China made as are many of the flagship boots from my younger years Red Wing. Around 1978-9 I spent a day or so in Red Wing MN. At that time most or all their boots were made right there. I wonder what is left of the town now days.
Spent some summers in college and law school working at Carolina Shoe in Morganton NC. Way back when the boots were actually made there.
Cool!
Where are the boots made now?
Another quality job. These boots are far better put together now than they were from the factory. The uppers looked to be pretty good leather so well worth doing this on.
Just now seeing this older restoration video. Beautiful work! I LOVE that sculpted, Cuban style stacked heel. Thus boot is now as beautiful as it is functional. Appreciate what you share gents!
Those where drier than Tutankhamen!!!
Shows how resilient good leather is when moisturised. Good work as always chaps.
Thanks, Luke
Who would have thought shoe repair was interesting. You guys make it so and provide high quality craftsmanship!
Thank you very much, Mike!
Another fantastic restoration those boots now have another 20 years or more of life..
Very excited to see the pictures of the hand welted dress shoes. Would y’all be able to do a future video on making shoes? As someone who really wants to get into this trade, that would be a killer video to use as a reference.
Thank you. We are considering it.
Dallin, check out Japanese shoemaker, Ken Hishinuma. He's a young bespoke shoemaker and has 2 channels called MORIZIN and CRAZY about SHOES. He does shoemaking videos from start to finish. They are in Japanese but they come out with English subtitles after a couple days. MORIZIN is more of a lifestyle channel, so he focuses shoemaking on CRAZY about SHOES. Both channels have great resources tho! Good luck on your journey.😁
@@It_swill Ken is truly a master craftsman. I need to order a pair of his bespoke shoes. I believe he even does good year shoes for infants haha
@@It_swill • Ken's channel isn't free. This is.
Excellent craftsmanship on your part. I can tell that this job is super hard on your hands! Take care of your ✋️!
I just discovered you guys last Monday! Why didn't I see you guys sooner until now? I'm addicted to your incredible shows now! I never knew how shoes were made. You guys just opened up a new world of how quality shoes are made versus cheap shoes!
Great to see other smaller brands on the channel, it give a lot of great insight. Great video as always, guys!
Smaller brand name - but owned by Berkshire Hathaway.
Thank you!
I'd love to see any specialty boots ( like firemen' boots or something along those lines) Keep up the fantastic work :)
I am finding these repairs relaxing. Subscribed.
Incredible watching you guys. Such skill and craftsmanship is a joy.
Amazing workmanship. I hope the worker who wears those boots takes good care of them.
Heath, you never cease to amaze! That hand stitching was impressive. Way cool!
Hello, nice to meet you! I am Japanese. I will buy boots for the first time in my life. The first shoes I bought were carolina boots! In Japan, boots called Red Wing are mainstream, but I recommend Carolina.
I have this exact pair of boots. I actually picked them out myself from a catalog as a gift from my mother in law 20 years ago. They lasted forever, but I found out within about a month that my feet were not designed to wear loggers. My toes were numb for the three years that I wore them. I guess from the higher heel? I still have them, thinking about having a more traditional sole put on. They're still good boots. I hate to waste them!
Logging is super hard on boots.. especially the boots I wear and other people I work with. A comfortable boot is a must...
Love the finish. Master craftsmen.
I really liked the look of the natural stacked leather heel. It gives the boot imo a more rugged look. How were you able to flatten out the kilties on these boots ? I removed the ones I had on a pair of Red Wing boots because I didn't like the way they eventually curled up. BTW I'm always amazed at how well the Saphir conditioner works to restore dry tired old leather. Makes me think I should try their conditioner on my face. :-D Have a great weekend guys. : )
Holy shit, you’re FINALLY doing Carolinas! I commented in previous videos that you guys sleep on this company. But I’m proud to see it
The Bros kicked butt on this build. Its how I would like all my boots built. You’re real pros!
You guys are the coolest cobblers I ever encountered. Even the cobblers are cool guys in the USA.
I just ordered a pair of those Carolina logger boots. I’m glad you guys said they are ok.
Well done chaps, incredible job. Those boots look awesome. All the best from the UK.
I've always heard that Carolina boots are pretty well constructed.
I knew they had to be using a number of economical materials the achieve the price point they sell for, so I'm not surprised here but it's good to see that they are pretty well constructed.
this just amazes me how beautiful and precise I see how you guys work
Gorgeous work!!!
I'm a machinist by trade and dabble in woodworking. But for some reason I love leather work. Of all kinds really. But this is fascinating work.
Those logger heels looked amazing. Nice job.
Just discovered this channel , outstanding work guys !
When using this hair product be sure to give your scalp a really good massage, it opens up those hair follicles. I use to be a hairdresser.
You guys did an amazing job. Those boots came out so good 🤌🏻
Do you guys ever find if one of you is doing one boot and the other one does the other one, at the end the restoration there’s differences between the two? Love your videos by the way!
Fantastic work! I really enjoy to watch real craftsmanship. It's something genuine with leather, natural rubber and hand-sewn. Cool...
I enjoy seeing construction of different manufacturers. I gives me more buying confidence when I go for a pair of boots. These turned out awesome.
Thanks you
Better than new...love the stacked leather heel, perfectly shaped! Is there a name for the type of construction where the eyestay appears to come up through the vamp? Any boot built like that automatically gets my attention. Great job!
I’m way late to this video, but I noticed what you said about this particular type of construction. I’m also a fan. I have a pair of “Red Dawg” boots from Bailey’s logging supply, and they are built as such. They are also Lace-to-Toe, so maybe that is why.
I would love to see y’all’s opinion doc martens. I know they aren’t made to be re-souled but it would be so cool seeing y’all work on them!
You guys!!!! Proving once again that quality always wins.
Hello from Melbourne, Australia....Damn, that southern accent ...it's a joy to listen to.
Another great video! I would love to see you guys make a pair of shoes by hand if you ever get a chance!
Thank you. We’re considering it.
12:28 with the Billy Ocean slapping…
Stellar works as always.
Great job as always. I always enjoy watching your videos - thank you.
Wow is right...what a difference..amazing work was done on these well worked boots..with new sole and upgraded membrane they will be to work for a long time...great info as well..thanks dudes!..
Really enjoyed watching him skin the boot
as shoemakers/cobblers what are your thoughts on the traditional pine tar and oil mixtures that northern Europeans use to condition their boots. are modern conditioners better?
Man I wish I could grow my mullet back.
Great insight on the boots.
Thanks yall.
I love Carolina I'm a tree climber and these are the best bang for the buck hands down
Beautiful work guys ! The end result! I love this channel !
I had a pair of these I absolutely ran into the ground about 5 years ago. Really liked them.
Carolinas are the best boots ever if you oil them every week. Got 2 years of commercial construction out of every pair i had in the the trade. If your not a logger dont get logger cuts. But hamds down best boots money can buy.
Great work, definitely better than new!
I want some boots that look that great. Better than new.
Love watching your work.
Thank you, Renda!
Man, that looks better than a new boot.. wonderful job there, if i owned those boots i wouldn't wear it for a week and just keep looking at them and appreciate the work before i wear them.
Thanks you for doing the Carolina brand.I don't exactly like the construction of plastic and rubber but they are durable at a reasonable price. I where the linesman boots and love them. Good beginning boot.
Those boots look a thousand times better! I can't wait to see the shoes Heath is making, that holdfast looks great!
Great video as always especially that sneak peek at the 'side project'. Can't wait to see if you guys decide do a start to finish video series on your own custom line of shoes...!?!
Thank you. We’re thinking about it. 😉
Carolina work boots have one purpose… to keep the store shelves looking full. They used hold up quite well but nowadays they never seem to last very long once removed from the shelves.
You guys gotta do more b-roll beauty shots of the boots at the end comparing old vs. new. Your craftsmanship is too good to speed through!
I always wanted to see Carolinas on here i found out about them about a year ago and they are for me the best boot for the price they have hands down lasted longer than any other boots. I’m talking about the leather upper since I’m on my knees and work around concrete it always rips before the outsole wears out but with Carolinas they lasted the longest although they seem to be getting more expensive lately I think everything is, anyway thanks for doing a pair of these.
👍
I just bought a pair of these loggers and like he mentioned they don't feel like they have a lot of padding under foot. Once broken in how comfortable are they?
Exceptional work fellas !!! You guys have outstanding skills I think you can start your own shoe or boot line! 💪💪💪👍👍👍 just out of curiosity how much was this fantastic job done on these boot? Thanks for sharing
Great job guys!!! Always love seeing the inside of various brands and their construction approaches and techniques!!! Thanks!!
Definitely going to do my loggers next because of this video
Always amazes me how people can wear down soles without shredding the upper. After 6 months mine are always gouged, cut, and scratched. These were smooth and shiny after a quick hit with conditioner.
I enjoy watching your videos. I got myself a used pair of Wesco Highline boots that actually fit me, I have small feet for my height. From your videos I know exactly what I want from my local cobbler and I think I can express what I want done from your videos. I know you are busy and would take a while to get to my boots if i sent them into you. I want to talk to the local guy and explain what I want. He did a pair of combat boots for me so I know he does decent work and the new soles make them feel a lot better for all day working. Thanks for your awesome videos.
Huge improvement.
Nice job gentlemen! God bless.
That was great work on those boots.
I love hearing the sounds in the shop!
I think that's the Elm boot with the plastic welt. Those are the cheaper logger model they make. I have a pair of Birch loggers, and they are definitely a step up.
Carolina used to have a Cadillac line called Carolina Gold, they were glove leather lined and had a thick soft insole/footbed. Boy I miss the good old days....
Just eye satisfaction man, your guys videos got me into learning a lot more about boots and shoes.
Turned those bad boys into a pair of nicks! Love these videos
Thank you, Thomas for watching!
Nice craftsmanship !
Hey guys! Question for you two. Recently subscribed like a month ago and I've been binge watching you take apart boots trying to figure out what my next pair should be. What's your opinion for the best fire boot and the best rebuildable hiking boot I can put a lot of miles on. You guys are awesome, thank you!
Those boots took a lot of layers. I love the laces. Thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you
It's the "Scrub-a-dub-dub, I got my boots in the tub!" for me! Don't know why it made me smile and giggle...but it did!! 🙂😆
😂 Thank you for watching our videos, Krista!
I have georgia goretex loggers..they are great boots, ive had them for about 14 years and had them rebuilt a few years ago...they didn't do as good a job as you all, though. Theybare currently at another shop being stretched, probably gonna pick them up today. Hopefully.
Glad I found this channel! Amazing work! Let me know when you take orders again. I have a pair of White's Logger Boots that I've had for around 10 years while working on the Railroad. I'd like to do a makeover. I know them boots are built like a tank! Keep up the good work!
Send them to whites themselves.
OOOOH!!! Please make a video of you creating those dress shoes!!!
Nice job on the Carolinas
Love this boot videos that everytime I watch one I feel committed to use shoes that can be recraft.
I need to send my boots on in these guys I got these things warm for a month on the souls already falling off but they're really nice boots like how they wear
Man, those boots look so much better
Also, do you guys always work in silence? Or is it just for the video?
Just wondered, I definitely love watching your work!
Only for the videos. 😎
It's a shame he didn't go full rebuild, a leather insole would have been a huge upgrade.
I have these same exact boots and I love them. Great video
Heath’s got a Black Tie Event coming up… Can’t wait to see the shoes, bud!
Thanks, brother!
@@TrentonHeath will there be a video on them?
Man. This was a nice one. I appreciate you walking through where synthetics are a good choice. Thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
Thank you, Andrew!
