Follow along as Cobbler Tony gives these boots a Logger style for the urban wearer with converting the Vibram 100 sole into a 1/2 sole over leather midsoles.
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 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 KZhead fan. I subscribed to your KZhead 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. 😊
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!
Cleanest cobbler "work station", on KZhead. 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.
Best looking Iron Ranger I’ve ever seen. Definitely gave it some PNW vibe. Amazing work.
I'm so unimpressed with my rangers now after seeing these. Master of your craft
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 wearing boots a long time (26 years in the Army) and watching boot repair videos a while too, but I still learn something.
You really made a lovely job of those.
Now, I want some! That is a wonderful boot.
Those are like works of art. Thank you for explaining as you go.
Damn, that's a solid craftman. Excellent job. Love seeing a real man and American working hard making quality USA made equipment.
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.
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 KZhead. 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. KZhead 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 Thanks Tony Wyatt
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 KZhead 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!!
That is a work of art! Looks amazing.
Another great job, Tony! The boots look amazing. You’re a true master cobbler.
Freaking beautiful! Love the work you do.
Awesome work!!! You guys are definitely the best!!
Beautiful craftsmanship!
I like the look!! Also the craftsmanship is insane!
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!
An absolute masterpiece Thank you Sir Christoph
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.
Great work Tony! Makes me excited to see mine!
awesome work, such a unique look, and great craftsmanship as always.
These turned out awesome! Great Job!
Top quality work, absolutely beautiful!
You guys do some excellent work!!
A pleasure watching your work... 🖐

Top notch! Beautiful work
The best IR conversion ever!!! You’re a wizard Tony!!!

That’s an amazing job, you do really good work.
A true professional. Beautiful finished product.
Awesome modification and great videography, Tony!
That is a righteous boot. Well done.
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!
Those are really nice. You Know your stuff. Enjoy the videos. Keep cranking them out.
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.
God bless these hands for such a nice work
Fantastic workmanship on your part, and agreat vision on the clients part.
Very beautifully done!👌❤
Everytime I watch you, I realize just how much I still don't know. Magnificent work. Thanks so much for the lesson

Wish I lived nearby to be able to come and learn from you. Great work!
WOW!!!!!!! I LOVE these!!!!! Great job!!!
Nice work, they look great.
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
Excellent work.
Those Rangers look AWESOME!
Nice job, those look great.

Beautiful boots, quality craftsmanship really enjoyed this episode definitely getting a sub here. 👌🇬🇧
Excellently done and fantastic video production. Subbed.
I just found your page. Love it!
Brilliant work
Looks great!
Awesome work!
Now THIS is one good looking boot! WISH the factory would do this! Beautiful job Wyatt. Love it.
Excellent work! Greetings from the great Black Forest 😊
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 job my friend 😎👍
Thats an extraordinary customization! Subscribed!
looks great, thanks for sharing!
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.
🤯Beautiful artwork! 💯🔥 You are a fantastic artist. Bravissimo maestro! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🫡🍾
So satisfying watching an artisan at work.
Ohhhhhhhh. Heart breaking. Brand new shoes. I'll cry
very relaxing zen video...
Just discovered you and that’s a fine boot.👍🔥
Looks fantastic
That turned out so incredibly good dude. I am so impressed. You do great work sir. You are one of the best. Wish you were in my area. I sure do.
Thanks! What area are you in?
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
simply amazing!
That turned out great
What an artist!
Those are sick!
Great job!
Hai Wyatt, you made a beautiful Job.👍 Greetz from the Netherlands 🇳🇱🇳🇱
Those are beautiful
I love watching a skilled craftsman doing his work. These came out great! Although personally, I would have skipped the logger heel
Good work , good music
Mulțumesc pentru munca pe care o faceți și pentru faptul că împărtăși!
