White's Boots Restoration Resole - I bought these boots in preparation for the how to buy used thrifted boots video and I loved them so much I wanted to restore them. White's boots make some of the most expensive boots, the best boots, and the highest quality boots in the world so a lot of times the only thing that needs to be replaced on a pair of used whites is the top lift. This is a pretty basic fix that most people can do at home with very basic tools without the need of taking it to a cobbler. So in this video I show you how we "garage cobbled" these boots back to life with some basic how to clean boots, how to condition boots, and how to resole a boot.

Please do a review on the New White’s Boots Fire Hybrid! 🙏🏻 Your videos are awesome!!
Would you be interested in doing a video on some Irish Setter - Ashbys with about 6 months of wear from an Ironworker?
Can you do a review about ECCO boots? Like exostrike.
Thanks for the amazing restoration. I do a lot of this garage cobbling myself. I’ve restored a lot of second hand boots in this way, I have resoled a few pairs of red wings and now I am making my first pair of boots from scratch. Videos from you, Trenton & Heath and Terry Kim Shoemaker introduced me to the world of shoemaking and I absolutely fell in love with the craft. I would like to learn from a master cobbler and maybe one day do this for a living. You are a great inspiration as craftsman and an entrepreneur to a lot of people. Thank you from Czech Republic.
the hardest part of this is finding white's boots in a thrift store.
.... A pair that also fits you.
Yes and yes. I would love to find a pair of Whites low heel logger boots. The packer boots look like 19th century women’s shoes to me.
@@joeyoungs8426 the farmer rancher is low heel version of the packer.
100% agreed, this was a super lucky find and it’s my exact size which is crazy. I went to 5 or 6 thrift store almost every day to find the boots for the thrift store video. So if you are really dedicated you can find good stuff for cheap.
@@jamesmilos9909 It’s the lineman style heel that I object to. The Smokechaser would suit me much better.
Oh my god, I think the White’s packer are the most handsome boots ever, but their brand-new price tag makes this video incredibly inspiring. I need quality boots for work and I’ve been really into keeping care of them with mink oil and a soap rinse, but waxes and conditioners are a new necessity now. Thank you for this video!
Keep your eyes open. I just picked up a new set of mismatched Custom Order Frank's that could have been ordered for me (I'm 3/16" shorter and 1/8" smaller diameter on my left foot). Basically for professional rebuild cost.
for future videos:
don't forget to wear respirator gear when on the grinding wheel. you don't know where the used boot walked through, so it's best to assume those boots walked through caustic areas that are now being spread when you sand in aerosol fashion.
love the channel. want you guys to stay healthy to provide content for a long time.
*He said he also learned from Bedos Leatherworks. Steve on there has used leather filler for marks in the leather, to smooth out the surface. You put some in the marks, smooth it out with a flat tool. Then you sand it. You repeat the process however many times you want, until it's smooth as you like. Then you paint dye over those areas to blend it all in. I think the boots really would have benefited from the use of leather filler.*
*Either he didn't watch Steve's videos deep enough to know about leather filler. Or perhaps he does know about leather filler, and wanted to keep it simple for the general public 😅 I think I can see why since, maybe some people don't want to put the time into filling in cut marks in their boots. I know there's people out there who love the "character" in their boots with the patina, scuff marks, and the cut/gouge marks. That's completely okay! It makes them look interesting and cool! And then there's also people who do use leather filler. Anyway, people will do what they want with their boots, and that's ok. I just think it's cool to have seen what leather filler does. The results I've seen are amazing! You can barely notice the marks anymore, when seeing the shoes/boots up close. From a distance, you don't notice them.*
*The results of these boots look amazing! The cleaning and conditioning did more than enough to enhance the overall look of the boots! Even conditioning the heels, the midsole sides, and the leather brought out a beautiful sheen! Good work guys!!😊*
Those boots are Hathorn Packers. White's less expensive ($270-$350) line but still good boots.
The manufacture date of the boots is stamped where the size is. The week and year ex: 45(week) 10(2010)
White's restores their boots all the time. It's one of their #1 services.
These boots were in very good condition compared to what White's receives for restoration.
It is stitchdown version packer, whites still produce it for drews boots drewsboots.com/products/drews-cascade-rancher-style-dr08mv
They are $550 now.
Great job and great video! Always enjoy watching someone who not only enjoys their craft/hobby but explain it so well. Well done!
should do an asmr boot cleaning, kinda satisfying to hear the brush and cloth dragging on leather
Outstanding video. When I worked in the woods in Montana, I wore Westco Jobmasters. I always had two pairs that I alternated every other day. Those Westcos lasted and lasted and lasted, because I dried them slow and oiled them often.
I love how so many trade supplies in the cobbler business have a big German brand name or description on it - even for export. But here in Germany so little people care about good shoes / shoe repair...
Sweden is the same regarding quality footwear sadly!
@@dennisnordlund902 really? Perhaps it's the robust outdoor recreation mentality we have in the US? It's a large area of land with nearly every conceivable biome. It's odd because the US seems split between "the newest everything, all the time" and a real appreciation for heritage craftsmanship but I'm from the southwest so my experience is probably atypical
I added a pair of your light brown kilties to my Cognac color Thorogood Tomahawk boots and I love them.
They were a decent color match, fit well, and didn't need to be broken in.
Thank you for doing these videos especially the ones you take apart I am a Shoemaker there's a lot of junk shoes out there today and people just don't know it thank you so much
Cut women's high heels in half! It would be so nice to see if there are any comfortable high heels anywhere in the world.
Pretty sure that part of why most women's high heels are uncomfortable is because the heel is lifted too high putting too much pressure on parts of your foot that aren't well suited to holding your weight (granted I don't have first hand experience with women's shoes).
BUMP! I'd love to see a dissected women's heel.
alot of the northampton brands and carmina make turn of the century women's heels still. not stilleto but a modest heel, and they use a welt so they can be recrafted.
@@garethbaus5471 it's mostly a combination of heel lift, aswell as heel thinness
@@mcfarofinha134 I suppose that does make sense my work boots have roughly 3 inches of heel lift, and they are still fairly comfortable.
Hell yeah 😎 awesome vlog as usual my man
Love what you do . Keep it up
Every pair of my boots I’ve owned I’ve treated with Mink Oil Paste. To help the paste sink in I put my Boots in the oven for a few minutes. By doing this it prolonged the life of my Boots
That was great fun. Thanks for putting this up.
Your channel is one of my favorites!!!
Really enjoying my subscription to your channel....entertaining and educational!
That is a Talent. Thanks for taking the time to make this
I think they turned out great! Good job, guys!
Great job. Happy trails.
This was a great video. Anytime you find Whites boots, or any boots of that quality at a thrift store, you should immediately buy a lottery ticket.
I had a pair of Whites Packers that I ordered in about 1989. Really liked them! Well made and tough. Heel counter was really wide though. Had to really spread spurs out to fit. Thanks for the video
Bedo's and Trenton & Heath... These channels are the best and they got me into your channel too. ha ha. Love this.
Good work!!
Ok, I'm adding 'old boots' to my thrifting list.
Those are White's #695 Cowboy Packers (Not the regular #690 packers you showed on your B roll). They have a more narrow toe and are designed "with the horseman in mind for easy stirrup fit and unmatched ankle support when stepping off a horse in rough terrain."
Maybe #795 w/Thoroughbred Pointed Toe?
Great video! God bless!
Really cool video!
Love those rose anvil kilties!
So satisfying
looks great!
❤ Love your work!
Since you got an hot air gun, use that instead of burning the wax. That's what came to my mind once when I cleaned my boots on my work table next to the tools.
Also, If you preheat the clean leather, it absorbs the oils and waxes WAY faster. Just a bit of het tho, leather must be able to be touched!!
Fascinating. I'd also like to second the idea of cutting pairs of high heels in half to see what they're made out of. Also more Toaster, as always.
I'm going to do this on a PR of American made chippewa work boots they were 275.00 best boots I've ever worn 3 yrs old and I want to give them I hope 2 more yrs I'll see thank you nice video !!!
Beautiful boots! I’d love to own these.
Would love to see you cut different roller skate boots! I think it would be interesting to see higher end brands like Reidell or Moxi boots cut up and compared to cheaper ones like Impalas and off brand skates
Another cool video. I recently saw an advertisement for a new shoe from birchbury and was wondering if you had seen it and would think about cutting this one in half too. The new shoe is a dress style shoe called the Brenston and looks pretty slick.
well done good work you hit th nail on the head. Can be done at home
AMAZING
Inspiration for the whites drifter
The green rust from copper/brass is called "verdigris"
You beat me to it!
@@jamesmilos9909 the statue of liberty was originally copper coloured, then from aging/weathering, took on the green colour from the verdigris,
actually I think the technical term is "ewww, yucky gunk, get it off my boot" lol
Hi, French guy here. Yeah, we said in France "vert de gris", 'cause vert = green, and gris = grey. So vert de gris means green of grey. It's a chemical process and a color.
Sounds like another word for shmegma
I will argue that cleaning the eyelets is absolutely necessary! They're so gross lol
pfff... you defenetely dont know what is gross in this world.
Well done! Nothing wrong with them now!
These boots with a vibram 100 red x sole look awsome too
I have this same pair of whites boots. I’ve also used their other work boots for work. Great, long lasting boots.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
3 great channels.
do you ever condition the inside?
Not really - that would actually prevent the leather from being as comfortable on the inside, especially since so many boots are lined. 🙂
From the video he made of a 3 year old beat up pair of iron rangers, he recommended to condition the insole, if its a full veg leather sole.
@@gustavvarming2365 veg leather? what is that
@@earlgrey1 by veg leather sole he means vegetable tanned leather. It's a way of tanning the leather.
@@earlgrey1 Vegetable tanned leather
Great video! im requesting a video about Worx boots by redwing and how they might compare to irish setters or redwing boots.
Nice job. It’s rewarding to save and restore quality items, especially in today’s throw away and replace society.
Man them boots are amazing I would love to have a par
What brand nylon laces do you recommend? Those look like the vintage Danner packers I just bought and restored to wear.
Hope you could make a review on military boots (old or new), like the Vietnam tropical boots, WW2 paratroopers boots, modern Vibram boots, etc. Thanks.
I live in Spokane WA, and that was surprising to see that those were made here!
Hey Watson. Slowly you are gathering the cobbler tools. That sole stitching machine is looking closer and closer. I know you been eyeing one you can't lie to me hahaha.
This is great
You can go into the Whites store in spokane and actual watch the whole process of your feet getting the molds done to the boot being made
I love this videos I bought a pair of whites boots on eBay, they were a little banged up but the structure of the boot was pretty good. I want to put a new rubber part of the heal at the bottom they are a size 8.5 what size of the rubber part do I need and where can I get it.
Where did y’all get your heel caps from? Thanks for the video
I get a weird angle on my boots from riding the motorcycle. It's because I occasionally drag my heels a bit more than I should when I'm coming up to or going from a stop. (the correct amount being zero)
I don’t know about anyone else but I DEFINITELY want more of this boot restoration videos, I wonder if we could even get a DIY boot video? Either way, thanks for the video!
Check Trenton and Heath
@@shewbell2176 thanks
Utah has the best Thrift Stores in the Country. Seriously what a score & they’re my size 😉 I’m hoping there’s a giveaway in the Future.
Would love to See a full resole off a pair of Nick's or Whites 🤩
Thanks.. found a decent pair sorrel boots at salvation army for 4.00 not a boot I ever buy new but they soles where in good shape.. the uppers need work .
These are work boots and are typically used by linemen, loggers, wildfire fighters and some construction workers. This shows how a good cleaning can bring boots/ shoes back to life.
I used them in Alaska some years ago. Still have them and never wore them out. They would take extreme punishment and hold up , wore In gold mines oilfield and hunting!!
I need to replace the heel cap on my first pair of White's Boots. ITs the 700 V-bar sole. I need help with finding the cobblers anvil, when looking around I rarely see any size and if there is its something I am not familiar with (for example I found one that was #18 but it was tiny?) I wear size 13EE in White's. Is there another way to describe the cobblers anvil? am I saying it wrong? is there any reference material which will explain the sizing of the iron shoe?
Help! thanks.
I don't mind wearing those boots 😜☺️ those boots look beautiful
So pretty!
Have you or would you resole a rubber and foam rubber hiking boot?? ASOLO TPS 520 GV.
Does anybody know if the Rose Anvil is a cobbler or something? Does he have a vid on it or something
Wes you gotta condition the inside of the boot too. You don't want the insole to crack or split from lack of conditioner.
If those boots could talk...
I wish I had the time and money to try these kinds of restorations
This does not take very much time. All he’s doing is cleaning and conditioning the boots. Hardly a restoration. If you want to see what a real restoration looks like, where they are using their cobbler skills, go watch Trenton and Heath’s channel.
I’ve seen a cobbler use superglue dye and sandpaper to fill in cracks. I don’t know if this is an appropriate method, but it seemed to work!
Are those regular nippers or are they some kind of special cobbler pliers you used to pull the heel plate off
QUESTION.. What was the pen thingy you used to apply the leather dye? I restore vintage leather roller skates. Thank you for making such informative videos!
looked like just a thin paintbrush
How do you clean the inside ? People sometimes have bad foot odor / bacteria 🦠
HI, nice video, really interesting, I have learnt a lot ;) Quick question: what would you use if you want to waterproof the whole boots ? I noticed that you use wax on the rigid part, but what about the flexible part of the boots?
There isn’t really a easy way about doing that without discoloring the leather, but if that isn’t a issue I personally use either huberd's shoe grease, or snow seal over the entire boot. You can find either of them at most sporting goods stores and it’s good stuff. All you need to do is heat the can in water off the boil, stir it so it’s all consistent, and rub it into the boot with either a rag or a gloved hand. There are plenty of other ways of waterproofing boots and I’m not going to say how I do it is best, but that’s how I personally do it. Hope it helps
My great grandfather was a cobbler prior to the Holocaust. When he was selected at KL Auschwitz-Berkinau to be slave labor, he was a cobbler.
I recall as a young kid in Philly, where he immigrated, his small cobbler shop in North Philly, his work.
There is only one cobbler shop in my area now, I walk in there, the smell takes me back.
You’re right about the welt stitches. That’s the only thing that looks bad.
You guys should of done the whole sole, cork, midsole and heal blocks. Prob needs a new welt too. I have several pairs of these whites and nicks boots. Honestly it’s a half ass repair. The most important parts were skipped.
Wicked witch if the west boots
That top lift seems a little too tall, would affect the pitch an balance.
I'd sand the inside on your sanding belt and take a little of the bulk off
Check out Tring shoe repair, good cobbler, great videos too, great job on those boots
That leftover stitching is not a bad cobbler. Whites have two rows of stitching on their welt. Even their new packer boots do.
Could you do a review on Vessis?
Between the sander, contact cement and the new heel cap; what was the cost to do this?
Wow! that pair of boots was stolen from me about 4 years ago. know them anywhere, bought them in 1994 , resoled in early 2000s and i can tell you where every scuff came from and how that paint got on them. man doesn't wear boots that many years and not know every scrape and cut. Come to think of it , been more than 4 years. When purchased they were marked Hathorne Spokane, and size was not exactly as stamped inside.
No way. Really? Why did you buy them
That’s crazy!
I own 4 pairs of Whites grew up in Spokane.
I guess that removing the old stitch would be too risky in garage cobbling operations such as these?
Replacing your heel at home is not a good decision. It can mess with the balance because of the wear on the sole. Recommend taking it to a cobbler if you do not know how to balance a heels.
Or if you live in Wa. Drive over to Spokane. I do but it's a 3hr drive, so I'll just ship my smoke jumpers.
as a cobbler, I agree. anyone who doesn't remove the old stitching before resoling is a lazy cobbler lol
thats pretty gud for a home job tbh, id still send em to treanton and heath or a cobler since the welt is fucked to hell still and redoing the cork or insoles would make it feel brand new instead of just looking brand new. this was a great vid tho i think showing how much can be reasonably done for cheap or worn boots at home.
Super
Wes you think you can get ahold of some new or used Wesco Jobmaster or engineer boots to cut apart? I’ve never heard anything negative about them. Would be nice to know how they compare to the quality of Nicks.
I’d love to see the wesco engineers cut apart! However a pair of John Lofgren would be my dream on this channel!
I second wesco jobmasters
Whats the name of the tool that you used to peel off the heel pad?
How to clean the inside of the boot tho, i cannot chuck leather boots into washing mashine.
Was going to take my thrift store boots to the cobbler, but now I'm thinking I might be able to do the resto myself...
