  • Resoling some ALT-BERG military boots today. These boots are the Alt-Berg Sneekers used by the services and in combat. We put a hard wearing Vibram unit on them as part of there restoration. The best British boots deserve the best care given to them, hence why they were brought to Tring shoe repair & key shop! Thanks for watching the video, Dan.

      Ooh dam mate I wish you were in Scotland as I have a pair of German paratrooper boots which I got resoled and the guy who done them butchered them 3 times I took them back to him he didn't even use the proper all.in one sole he even used separate heel every time I wore them they fell apart I haven't had them done since because of the fear of throwing money down the drain again but you certainly know your profession .all the best and thanks for the knowledge I can arm myself with..

    I was always told it couldn't be done. I have a pair of Canadian Military Mark II boots issued to me in 1989. I have been wearing them every year except in winter (too cold in Canada) and they are highly polished. I need to find someone who can do this as I am now strictly instructing and the cadets can't figure out how I have kept them this sharp this long. It really is a spit shine. No heat gun or other gimmicks. Soles are getting pretty smooth.

    Great video. I am 73 now and I have served in the Airforce. As My pension is not brilliant I have had to repair several pairs of shoes and slippers, with various results. I bought a pair of german army boots some years ago and the sole on one of them is breaking up and the rubber was cracking. I used a soldering iron to weld the cracks and seal the crumbling parts. I don't know how long it will last but I know where to go when I need new soles. I live in bedford so its not far to go. Thank you, Mike.

      @davidcoghill8612 Před 3 lety +2

      I tried reheeling my own boots a few years back using just hand-tools. It "can" be done with a lot of patience, but the one piece of equipment that you really can't do it without is a belt-sander of some sort to make a clean flat surface to glue onto.
      Also if you're only doing one pair, you'll probably spend as much on the tins of primer and adhesive as it would cost to just get them done professionally anyway.
