30 YEAR OLD TIMBERLAND BOOTS RESTORED! // Nubuck boots upcycled

Today we had a crazy job with these 30 year old timberland boots in for a full re-build and restoration. We restored the lot from new vibram soles to reconditioning the nubuck, and for being so old they came out great!

Hi I am a housewife and I live in Guadalajara México ( city of tequila) I find your videos so relaxing, my English is not so good but I understand every word ( most of them) you said. 🤗

I’m on my third pair. I honestly didn’t know you could restore things like this. Great to watch as always.

Cobblering is becoming a lost art and I love watching you bring UGLY shoes back to life. Those super detailed soles you put on are amazing. 👍🏼

This guy is younger than those boots.
But still he is the one who makes this profession as art, and make it sure to survive for decades.
(I don't know how the hell I got to this channel, but I sacrificed 4 hours to this artist.)
Keep on, man!

Always nice to watch a craftsman restoring what once was.
Good lessons for all to learn from. Thnx Dan!

I got here looking for ways to clean stains out of nubuck. I ended up watching this whole video. This process is fascinating. I really appreciate the detail you put in here. I've learned something new today.

Wow, well done!
Hard to believe they are 30 years old.
My work boots look like that after 3 days lol.

That's more that a restoration; that's a total upgrade! Beautiful work!

Good job, they look incredible. Should be the firm basis of another 30 years use.

I need a cobbler of this man's incredible skill to repair my comfy worn in nubuck timbs. I've got three pairs that the outsole has detached at the toe. My timbs cost me 120 US twenty years ago, I'd pay that amount again to get them restored because as anybody familiar with work boots knows, once they're broken in you've got some happy feet.

Dude I just found this channel and subscribed like 2 days ago.... your videos are really realy ace man. I've been trying to be more like my grandfather where when I buy something I take care of it so it lasts forever and your work is just unbelievable and reminds me of him and his generation so much.

Simply amazing pal 🖐️, iv had mine for 21 years so not as old but I love em, my wife's been trying to make me throw them away for years but I just can't and after seeing this I'm certainly not going to, true craftsmanship right there 🖐️

[DashDrones]

Love this channel, these old timberlands came out lovely! I live in Ireland now, but originally from 10 miles away from you 👍

[erick.]

Wow they Look soo good! You are a Real artist in what You do!
Best regards from Germany

Another perfect re-sole, with a nice leather midsole and no stitching through the outsole. Great job!

Love your channel. Timberlands are my favourite footwear, I still live in the 90's in my head. Many times iv wanted old boots repaired but the prices quoted where similar to buying a new pair. Unless they're sentimental it's not worth it. These boots cost £150 to buy and would have been £50 in the early 90's. That guy loved them boots.

How have I not found this channel earlier. Instant sub, and now I shall binge all content ;)

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say apron continuity is not critical. Great video man, as usual. Keep it up and thank you!

Edit: Holy wow these look stunning!
