Sorry for the sound at the end. Unfortunately, this was last minute editing for us, and we didn’t have time to re-shoot that portion. We appreciate y’all watching and putting up with the sound.
Not only did Harrison Ford insist on Alden’s, he insisted the Raiders production team purchase them from the man he used to buy them from during his days as a carpenter because that gentleman used to give him a break on his work boots. He wanted to pay him back.
Another great video guys. Liked all the trivia sprinkled through out . Did anyone else notice the static towards the end of the video or was it just on my end ?
Interesting to see how poorly the insole had held up. Weston of Rose Anvil had questioned why such a pricey boot uses split leather for the sole and your restoration work seems to confirm that it's a poor choice of material by Alden. Great video!
Alden boots are great but I’ve heard they’ve started cutting corners, I have an older pair of 405’s from about 5 years ago with the leather lining, I like them, there’s a few QC issues that I noticed when I got them but I know they’re handmade so small imperfections are expected. Most of these little issues are no longer noticeable with wear anyways. Thanks for the video these turned out great.
you bros..never ceases to amaze me how you resurrect evey pair of shoes ( in this case boots) since I followed your channel I've been always conscious of my footwear. Keep it interesting and informative as always.
That was a great iconic resole on the Indy boots. Glad others heard the crackling, thought it was darn sinus congestion in my ears. You guys inspired me to do a color and conditioning make over on my almost 20 year old Redwing boots. The burgundy came out terrific and they're soft and pliable again. Thanks for sharing the tips. That Saddle Soap is excellent
Really interesting. Always enjoy your videos. I wonder if you could show us another couple of shoes/boots that certain actors wore. “Tom cruise wore this in this movie, or something like that”. Could be an interesting collaboration with one of the other shoe experts you guys have worked with. Thanks for the work!!
Thank You for another Great video . I like the little captions at the bottom of the screen , it adds a little bit more . You guys are very informative and entertaining , also useful information .
Great video! I love the Indy facts. BTW you need to remember that women watch your channel as well as men and mention that Anson Belts has belts for women too.
As a tracker and someone who grew up wearing boots I would definitely know if one side had more cork. I absolutely despise it when I get a pebble stuck in my boot. Yes, even with safety boots. As a kid I could run across dry leaves and not make a sound, even today I'm told I should put bells on my footwear.
As I understand it, all granular cork is a by-product of the wine bottle cork industry. Full sheets of cork (bard) is made into wine stoppers. The rest is sold, ground up and mixed with all the sticky stuff. Just ask Birkenstock.
Harrison was a carpenter and liked the cork soles on the Aldens because they didnt pick as much debri to be tracked into peoples houses.Tom Selleck would of made a teriffic Indy also.Good job guys.👍
Question regarding conditioning. Do you have any advice for Over conditioned boots? Bought a pair of second hand Alden Indy’s and they’re over conditioned - tacky to the touch. I’d love to know some options how i might dry these out a bit. These are Kudu, typically a dryer leather correct? Thank you kindly!
Curious about these rebuilds. Isn’t the last what forms the arch support part of the insole? And if this is the case, isn’t a rebuild flat on the inside now?
Hey Trenton, Dawn dishwashing detergent is great for most any stain, even after it's been washed and dried, fyi. Some of my T shirts are thread bare, but I can't let them go. Stains drive me crazy.
When these boots were cut in half over at the Rose Anvil channel it seemed like Weston didn't quite feel they lived up qualitywise to the price. How did these boots come off to you guys?
I love Alden’s, but I have a handful of pairs of boots from Spokane and those boots are much better made. But I like Alden better than Redwing or 1000 mile boots.
@@Kingfisher1215 interesting. What is it that makes these boots better for you than the other boots that you mention? I am genuinely curious as what we see here on TrentonHeath as well as Rose Anvil is kind of a more theoretical perspective as opposed to practical Real Life Experience...
Tom Selleck actually filmed several scenes for IJ for auditions... he would have been cast except CBS wouldn't let him out of his Magnum PI contract to do it. It sorta killed him to know that Spielberg and Ford were in Hawaii filming some of the opening scenes for ROTLA while he was also there filming Magnum PI. As much as I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tom, I just don't think he could have done as good a job as Harrison Ford did in these movies.
I have never been a fan of Indiana Jones. But i am a Harrison Ford fan (especially the fugitive). And im a big fan of your channel. You always do such amazing jobs. Great video. Great boot.
Hi! I really enjoy your videos. I have some Redwing chukkas style 1221 and I used them for work as a mechanic. I have had them for a year and they absolutely worked for me. I want to clean them but have no idea where to start. They are stained with grease and oil especially where I was laying under a car and would move my legs around and the sides of my shoes would rub against the floor which was obviously dirty. Could you make a video on that or give me any tips on cleaning them? Thanks in advance!
Great vid! I have a question about mini lug half rubber soles. Wouldn't it make more sense to glue them to the sewn leather sole instead of glueing and sewing them together as one piece? This way there won't be any need to redo the sewing in future repairs. I've also notice that the thread wears out very quickly under the rubber sole.
what if you put too much cork in the shoe and made it convex ? I know that would bother my foot as my Jim greens are convex and it does bother my foot but I do love Jim greens because the width is perfect.
Great episode...quick question, I have new, good quality white leather shoe/sneaker and want to protect the white rubber from that yellowing in the future...in your expert opinions, what do you recommend to use as a UV/waterproofing protection to keep them from the inevitable yellow rubber issue for as long as possible. Thank you.
Hi, I found your channel with a search for I have vintage (70's) pink western boots, how to restore, I can send pictures, I purchased at a flea market about 10 years ago, and really want to wear them...what would be your suggestions? Thank you!

Very cool video & they turned out great.
thats okay. I can speak static.
I thought it was a hard rain on the roof.
Just thought that was some shop noise. May we have some more, please? For the ASMR hit.
Going for that retro scratchy record sound

Class move, Harrison.
That wasn't static at the end. That was just the buzz of excitement for another fantastic job!
Haha…thanks so much! We always appreciate you watching.
Another great video guys. Liked all the trivia sprinkled through out . Did anyone else notice the static towards the end of the video or was it just on my end ?
Thanks for watching! Sorry about that. Yeah, something was causing static, and it was too late to re-shoot that part.
Cant believe they let it go out.....Very telling.

I finally understand why in the past you'e said, "we're in a hurry, so we used sheet cork".
Thanks guys, God bless!

I had Vibram minilugs put on mine. It definitely transforms the boot, positively. My favorite pair, and I have a bunch. Great video!
Nice! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic video Gents. I love when you guys continue to educate us (this time with the cork) in your videos.
Have a great rest of your weekend.
Great job guys! Loved the comments on Indiana Jones 😁
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to see y’all back to doing the basics.

Okay this is one of my favorite episode of a restoration I’ve seen. So glad I’m subscribed to see it
Many thanks for answering my question on the cork weight. Loved the Indy facts you added.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoyed this one a lot. Thanks
Thank You for another Great video .
I like the little captions at the bottom of the screen , it adds a little bit more .
You guys are very informative and entertaining , also useful information .
You guys are so freaking good at what you do! I enjoy watching all your videos. It also doesn’t hurt that you’re both pretty easy on the eyes. 😛
You’re sweet! Thanks for watching.
Great video! I love the Indy facts. BTW you need to remember that women watch your channel as well as men and mention that Anson Belts has belts for women too.
Great point, Patricia! 👍 Hopefully you’ll check them out use our discount link to buy one or two. 😉
Good Job guys.
I have similar soles on a pair of Allen Edmonds. Glad to know you can replace them.
Nice video as usual. Good timing with this boot with the new movie
Have you actually seen the movie? I haven’t heard much positive about it.
@Kingfisher1215 I've heard it's terrible too. Mind you I wasn't that fussed on the film before
It's not nearly bad as people say it is in my opinion at least.
Work ethic and craftsmanship is what I like about you guys. Always interesting!
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching.
My Saturday morning with coffee fix. Nice save on those kicks.
We always appreciate you watching! Enjoy your weekend.

Another one! Amazing job gentleman!!! Love the Aldens!
I appriciate the fun-facts about the red wing boot. Cool stuff, keep it up. Luv your work. Cheers from Germany!
The sole on that after you done reminds me of Oldmulla boots. Which I think are great boots.
Those boots look great... Good stuff guys.
Thanks! We appreciate you watching.
If I ever need work done to my Indy Boots, I’m sending them to you. Nice video!
Thanks for another great review. Those boots look amazing. Maybe so worn because they were in the movie.
As I understand it, all granular cork is a by-product of the wine bottle cork industry. Full sheets of cork (bard) is made into wine stoppers. The rest is sold, ground up and mixed with all the sticky stuff. Just ask Birkenstock.
Man...I could watch leather work all day!
Harrison was a carpenter and liked the cork soles on the Aldens because they didnt pick as much debri to be tracked into peoples houses.Tom Selleck would of made a teriffic Indy also.Good job guys.👍
You guys are to shoes, what Hillary Farr is to home renovation. Awesome!
I really enjoyed the pop-ups!
I wish you get cowboy pointy boots with grippy sole like that.
Makes me wanna get a pair of Alden's now and send em to you guys when they break down haha
Excellent video this time around. Really liked it.
I thought the laces were para cord!!! The boots look great!!!
Talk about what it means to have new insoles, in so far as original feel, break in, shape
Coolest Boot Ever
Excellent video. Size 15 here. Shoes/boots like these are almost impossible to find. Would love a pair of boots like these
Tell me about it, so many cool boots and shoes are not available for those of us with big feet. Alden, how about some 15W Indy boots?
Question regarding conditioning. Do you have any advice for Over conditioned boots? Bought a pair of second hand Alden Indy’s and they’re over conditioned - tacky to the touch. I’d love to know some options how i might dry these out a bit. These are Kudu, typically a dryer leather correct? Thank you kindly!
Beautiful work.
Nice job👍
Love the trivia along with the restoration. Question, why are some of the nails in the heel pulled and some are just clipped?
It just depends upon the type of nail and which direction they’re going.
Paracord laces nice
What a great "sympathetic restoration" :) - thanks!
"Squirrel"! Then spots oil spot on t-shirt. A couple drops of Dawn dish soap will get that out. 😊
Wow 404k subs! That’s awesome!! Great job fellas.
Thanks so much!
10:33 I though my headphones broke, my heart sank... but it was y'all just going into a tunnel
Curious about these rebuilds. Isn’t the last what forms the arch support part of the insole? And if this is the case, isn’t a rebuild flat on the inside now?
Good stuff!
its crazy how much faster beto is with his tools and tearing down boots effeciently.
😂😂
Been a while for me, great result.
Hey Trenton, Dawn dishwashing detergent is great for most any stain, even after it's been washed and dried, fyi. Some of my T shirts are thread bare, but I can't let them go. Stains drive me crazy.
Awesome! Thanks for the info. I love this shirt!
Such beautiful pantina on those Indys. Now they're better than new.
great work , thanks
Damn good resole.
When these boots were cut in half over at the Rose Anvil channel it seemed like Weston didn't quite feel they lived up qualitywise to the price. How did these boots come off to you guys?
They’re pretty well made, but I don’t think they’re worth $650+.
I love Alden’s, but I have a handful of pairs of boots from Spokane and those boots are much better made. But I like Alden better than Redwing or 1000 mile boots.
@@TrentonHeath thanks for the answer. I will not be buying these, then.

Crystal Skull wasn't an actual Indiana Jones movie, it was just a horrible fever dream that hopefully we'll all forget soon. :P
Haha…very true.
OFF ON ANOTHER ADVENTURE
Saturday morning; Coffee & T&H restoration video. Good job gentlemen.
Side note, the audio towards the end is kinda messed up. Cheers.
Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, sorry about the noise.
@@TrentonHeath no worries. Have a great weekend.

Why not apply conditioners and creams before putting the welt? Wouldn't be better to condition the leather under the welt?
I have never been a fan of Indiana Jones. But i am a Harrison Ford fan (especially the fugitive). And im a big fan of your channel. You always do such amazing jobs. Great video. Great boot.

Bellissimi bravi ragazzi siete super peccato che abito in Italia avrei diverse scarpe da rinnovare

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Amen!
Long overdue, welcome back! Great video. Thank you. Do you ever do R M Williams?
Thanks! We appreciate you watching. Yes, we’ve resoled quite a few. Not sure if we’ve ever done a video of them.
@TrentonHeath I don't believe you have. It would be great to see you guys do one and get your opinion on them 🙂
As always another great video.
Thanks so much!
Nice!
I never thought about Indiana's boots. What's a similar alternative for less than $300...these are way over my price point.
Fun video
That static sounds like the static I get when I’m on the phone recording or on a call next to an ultrasonic machine
Could you use poron where you used the cork?
Got to admit, I WAS wondering about the cork
Popup video returns!
Wondering if Anson Belts come with Full Grain or Top Grain Leather?
Do you do anything in reconstruction which (pat yourselves on the back) you judge to be superior to the original construction?
0.08 is classic. 😅😅😅
Beauty.
Great video as always. In your opinion would Redwing have been a better choice?
Audio goes bad at 10:32. Static like crazy!
if you didn't edit how long would this restoration take in real time? Thanks
Great episode...quick question, I have new, good quality white leather shoe/sneaker and want to protect the white rubber from that yellowing in the future...in your expert opinions, what do you recommend to use as a UV/waterproofing protection to keep them from the inevitable yellow rubber issue for as long as possible.
Thank you.
do you clip / remove the nails from the heel of the insole before the actual sole ?
Video viewed, belt set purchased...
You’re the best!
I’m watching a couple of English cobblers, ie cobbler Dan. They don’t iron their cork glue mix? Is that different compound from what we use in US?
How much was it?
Did you use leather board (compressed leather and glue) for the insoles or aniline Veg tan?
We used veg tanned leather. No leather board here.
Thanks for the cork info - But what I really want to know is: what brand or manufacturer makes that particular cork, and where to obtain it? Thanks
Why hot iron cork over cork board?
How about a video where you guys restore a boot or shoe completely separate and see how you guys differ. Probably an ebay shoe and not a customers!
Heath wins by a long shot. IMO
