nemo227 In this instant and disposable society restoration of usable things is a dying art, the sad thing is we’ve been taught to accept that things aren’t supposed to last.
My wife doesn’t get that. America has turned into a 90% consumer state where China supplies everything so cheap you might as well throw it away and buy new. Sad and disgusting.
Just a tip, not meaning to criticize: As a former military man myself, I was very surprised that you didn't use light sandpapering to remove those cuts and gouges. Especially since you're using a colored wax. That's how I kept from replacing my boots all the time. You can get a severely scratched up boot back to "inspection spit shine ready" if you very carefully just (like I said) lightly sandpaper those bad spots. A little too much and you'll get down to light tan raw leather but that's no big deal since you're fixing to use black wax anyway. The method you used in the video was excellent for sure but that one cut on the toe just sticks out like a sore thumb to me. But it's your Ariats and if you're happy it doesn't make one ounce of difference what someone else thinks about it. :)
Thinking Monkey. Great suggestion! Makes sense to me. At what point in the process would you lightly sand? Wet or dry or oiled. etc? I'm a geologist and my leather boots get chewed by rocks. :))
@@cactuswren9771 get "rough out" boots. smooth leather on the outside looks nicer, but it is actually less durable than the rough side with all the fibres sticking up and around, the only caveat is that in extremely cold conditions water can get soaked into the fibres and freeze
That is impressive! They look like new boots! I just bought a pair of old beaten up Ariat boots for $15 because I loved the color and I am restoring them. Thank you for your tutorial! Well done.
And now I'm searching Ebay for conditioner and boot cream. My boots are about 7 years old but they aren't as bad as yours so I feel very confident that I can restore mine. So thank you.
That was an amazing demonstration! I didn't think a pair of boots that far-gone could be saved but you made yours look like brand new! I'm going to have to try those Scout products. Thanks for the video.
Too funny, I was an Army MP wearing Corcoran Jump Boots in the early 80's...Many hours of my life dedicated to maitaining/shining boots that you could literally see yourself in when you were done. I remember how we'd all be very mindful getting in an out of vehicles as not to scuff or gouge our boots-hillarious. Nice job, good video!
Mr. Kitty Yeah, a lot of the old salts as we call them don’t approve of the discontinued trend of having to shine boots. I loved the newer suede leather boots but they were difficult to keep clean.
Floriduh Girl same, I buy quality boots and the soles and the bottom always but worn down and have huge holes and to be honest I don’t normally wear my nice boots outside of school and they still somehow manage to get destroyed
Hoo Rah!! Semper Fi!! Great video of showing us Marine style!! Dad was/ still Marine, Proud son to carry on his teachings and now from you on boot health. Simply amazed after you finished the dry boot... I will follow up with the exact products you're using... I have some Durango boots and some Chippewa loggers, now I just purchased a pair of Chippewa work boots. Saw the conditioner and cream and that's all I'll be needing.. no boot repair shop for me! Thanks sir and thank you for serving! Amen
I've bought many a pair of Frye boots off a site that other women sell them, for next to nothing, & restored them to new looking condition with some TLC. My dad was military & I learned by doing his boots. Thanks for the tutorial. I'm going to check out Scout's products. Thanks for your service.
I grew up wearing Cowboy boots in Texas and my late father taught me how to rejuvenate leather. As a long time veteran of bring life back to abused leather, I can say: Ya did good! Thanks for sharing.
Just amazing watching those boots come back to life. Look after them and they will last a lifetime. A condition,polish and resole and they like new again but broken in and comfortable.
The thing about brown, there are different shades of brown and I hate to use boot polish and it turns into a different shade of brown. Black is no problem.
+Jon Clarkson. When the girl across the road was burning some garden rubbish the grass caught alight. I put it out for her with my boots and I will leave what happened next to your imagination. LOL.
I've been cleaning and polishing leather goods, since my teens. To the military guys, I do the same thing, with my rag. Military marching band here, not the service. Your boots were DRY. They were crying to be conditioned. Excellent video!
Thank you for this! I recently started wearing cowboy boots.. I get strange looks because where I'm from no one wears them.. Honestly it's helped my back, when ever I wear running shoes my back pain is more noticeable. Glad I found your video, I wear them every day and now I'll be able to take proper care of them. Thank you for your service sir, have a nice day
Wow Great Video Gret Product. While it took me more time than you. I was able to walk my daughter down the aisle in a pair of boots I was proud to wear. Thank you Mr. Romero
You are absolutely welcome sir. I had no idea this video would help someone out this much. I’m very happy you were able to wear your favorite pair of boots to the wedding. Thank you.
That was awesome! Restoring something back to full service in this throw away world!!! Just bought a pair of Hawthorne Logging boot. Blew out the sole in a cheaper set of work boots. I'm very flat footed.
I LOVE your cowboy boots, Eric Romero!! I've LOVED cowboy boots since I was little! I have a broken-in brown pair with a more pointed toe and stitching on the toe. I wear mine with loose jeans, jerseys and even shorts!! I LOVE the stitching on the toe of cowboy boots. I think it makes them stand out more. I LOVE how they make me look taller. I'm 5'10" and I wear size 12. Cowboy boots need their own paid holiday!! :) :) I feel the same way you do about cowboy boots and restoring them! Can NEVER have too many cowboy boots! Just NOT possible! 👍😎😊👊 I want a black pair next, maybe with the metal toe taps on them!! Can't wait!!
Nice job I have owned my boots for over 30 years and they are still in great original conditions since I only use Mink oil to treat the leather and that would keep the original color...but good job 👍
Hope you're still out there amigo!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! Great video..wish I'd run across your stuff earlier..I've redone saddles boots etc in the past and you're dead on with your method. Gonna try Sheplers Scout products. Thanks from a Navy vet..
I couldn't agree with you more, I always preferred the round toe, looks more classy. The square toe is comfy but when I go to look at new boots I always see about 70% of the boots with square toe or wide square toe. At least it makes my selection a bit narrowed down. Thanks for watching.
I just found this video. Thank you. I have some Luchese boots I haven't worn in forever and wanted to refresh them (New Luchese boots are soooo expensive).
Even as rough as those were less is still more with creme, I found out the hard way and wasted a lot of polish before I figured it out. Good job anyway. Also, with Ariats anyway, applying a bit of neetsfoot oil to the inside leather (unless they are cloth lined) really extends the life.
Good vid. That stuff you used is very impressive especially when you show the conditioned boot against the untreated one. I've been using Obenauf's for a couple of years now, but I'm going to have to give this stuff a try.
Thanks so much for this- was about to throw out my leather boots but now I'll try this. Shame I'm in the UK and can't get the same products. Great video- could listen to that accent all day. 👍
I had some shoes with the deep scuffs you had. I was able to completely conceal them with a beeswax shoe cream. For that I used a rag to create layers in the scuff. However those were black shoes, much easier to conceal damages.
I have had a pair of Ariat Boots for about 5 years. I wear them everywhere. Unfortunately, the leather was so brittle that they started to look like suede. These boots have had a lot of miles and just couldn’t part with them. I even bought a new pair but haven’t taken them out of the box. I found this video and followed it to a T and what do you know, my boots look like they’re brand new, with the character of being worn and broken in a bit. Thanks a ton for the help! Hopefully will get at least 5 more years out of these bad boys.
Good video. Sadly i tried this couple years ago. My boots didnt last. Ranch work is hard on them. So every month i use saddle soap and it helps pool water and manure. If the right boot i get year and half to 2 yrs. Laredo has been best for ranching. Very good video, enjoyed
shawn tyrrell Ranch work is tough on these boots. Its nearly pointless to do this on ranch boots which are every exposed to the elements. Better get workboots instead.
Good job! Used your method on some excellent Bates Tacticals for camping I got off Ebay for like 19.99 that had the front tips torn up pretty bad and they look great and saved me 100 bucks at least compared to new.
It is definitely worth a shot for the small amount of money. I can't promise this will restore every single pair of boots but it worked really well on this pair and my other pair of Ariats that I own.
Not bad! They came out nice! It would have been nice to have seen the sole reconditioned and the edges dressed. The leather sole after sitting for so long is surely dried out. Conditioning the bottom of the sole would have brought back flexibility and softness that you would definitely feel when you wore them. Just my 2 cents.... but they look amazing! Nothing better than a good pair of brown boots for everyday wear!
this specific ariat has been discontinued i wanted them for the 2 inch heel luckily recently on facebook marketplace people were selling the brown pair and black pair of these in my size in almosy PERFECT and new condition i got lucky as hell! they're literally in perfect shape! the ariat sedona western r toe cowboy boot. i have the brown like this video and the black.
was this a distressed leather boot to begin with ? I have a light brown boot with some scuffs and scrapes that I would like to restore but they are distressed leather ... So not sure what kind of cream or filler I can use so that I don't darken or change the color but more of a blending / masking to the original color of the boots .
I got my first pair of cowboy boots yesterday, they're brown with red design, I like the brown but I also like black boots. If I were to use black boots polish would it take the red out? It may be a dumb question but there's more experienced and knowledgeable people here
There's a lot of satisfaction when we renew old products; shoes, chairs, desks, clothes.
