greasydot, I agree sir. I am not a big guy. 5' 7", but more fire plug than man. I lift weights and bike a lot. I also work in my shop and build golf clubs and do repairs. I am on my feet. Prior to this retirement job, I was in the infantry in the Army 28 years. The soft soles are MANDATORY or I will be laid up. I have had 2 back surgeries. I have chronic pain. The harder the sole, the less time I can wear the shoe or boot. Around the house I have some slip on Sketchers. The soles are super squishy. If you have back, knee, foot problems you WILL search for soft soles. Comfort is the number one factor to me.

These boots are about $250, the complete overhaul which was probably a few hundred bucks and only 6 months later they need a complete resole for „about $100 at a local cobbler“. I don‘t know what he does with these boots but even my cheap boots last around 2 years and I can buy a whole lot of cheap boots for the money he‘s invested in these.

It gently warms so you're not damaging the leather, I just leave my boots overnight and they're good to go the next morning never stinking.

The current replacement pair of the same boots would smell as bad or worse without the Pete.

There's two types of brushes you need for suede shoes besides a regular brush to get the dust out, the first is a crepe brush, which is really aggressive and to use only on stains. The other one is a brush with nylon and brass bristles, which you use once you cleaned your shoes, and they feel dry because all the "hairs" kinda stick together. It looks like a regular brush, except it's stiffer, and it separates the hairs again. You just brush the shoe lightly and it'll feel soft again.

I'm not surprised that the softer sole only lasted this long, Abom79 is not a small person and his shop floor is raw concrete. Yes softer soles wear faster but hopefully it saves some wear and tear on his body as knee replacement is not cheap!

The way you did these last time means they should be able to have this done for as long as the uppers last since there's virtually no wear on the midsole and welt if it's just peeling off and gluing on a new sole each time. It seems like if one wants a sole like this, having them re-worked like this is well worth it. Not everyone calling themselves a cobbler could do that first re-work as well as you did, but any of them should sure be able to handle resoling them now.

My wife and I just watched but we couldn't help but wonder: why did the boots only last 6 months? Resoling twice a year seems like a lot.

Wow, I was super surprised to find out that when you guys re-sole boots it’s $160.

What do you do about boots that have oil on them, like mine have hydraulic oil on them cause of where I work, I can rub my finger across the front of my boot and it’s oil, can a regular clean fix that or no??

If this is possible, shouldn’t it be possible to resole cemented construction leather shoes as well? Is there really a need to go for a Blake stitch or Goodyear welt construction?

Hey guys. Love your content! Marine Corps vet and have been a paramedic for 10 yrs now. Most my work partners including my wife who's also a paramedic wear thoroughgood 8in side zip jump boots. We love them as far as ems work goes. Fast break in and super comfortable and durable, but the soles only last about 2 years max. The unfortunate side is that the rest of the boot is in great shape because we clean, maintain, and polish our boots, but that model is not the U.S. made thorogood. Can these boots still be re soled? We all have 2 to 3 pairs at home that we just use as sh*t kickers. The boots themselves are in good shape as far as the uppers just the sole is worn out so we buy a new pair every 2 years

Hi, thanks for your service and thanks for your work! I work for a fire and EMS program at a college and I'm familiar with those boots! So, those can absolutely be re-soled. The challenge is, they are $150 boots and the first time you'd re-sole them, you'd pay at least $250 for the overhaul for the first job, just like the first job on the boots in this video: replace the rubber welt with a leather welt, add a leather mid-sole, and possibly add/replace cork or leather filler between those. Also, for the thick lug sole those have, there's a possibility they can't just be glued on like the wedge-style soles in this video, so would need to be sewn and/or screwed into the boot, but I would defer to a cobbler on that. I say 2 years for a $150 boot is awesome. I imagine you could buy something like a Nick's or White's model and it might last longer, but you'd pay $350-$550 in that case. Anyway, just my two cents. Be well.

Is there an aftermarket wedge style sole that doesn't wear down with in 8 months? It's kinda sad when the sole on $60 walmart boots lasts 5 times longer than the soles on a $280 thorogood.

My question would have been why you didn't go with a harder sole since he went through this sole in 6 months, but I am sure you know better than me.

Did the original sole wear off this quickly as well? 6 months seems too soon.

Thorogood makes their own sole now, because the Vibram Christy soles didn’t last long enough, from what I’ve been told. I own a pair of the 6” moc toe that I wear working in an assembly plant, so we’ll see how long the soles last.

What about removing midsoles to inspect the cork and shank? Then you could possible reuse the midsole. I understand why you did what you did on this pair. I'm just talking about generally .
