^^^ really like the roughout on those! They remind me of teddy bear material [emoji199][emoji28]
Thanks! wakka wakka wakka!
Great shoes …Im so jonzing for a pair of his engineers

After seeing an IG post of a pair of Alden Indy's Brian has re-soled recently I just sent off my pair to him for a re-sole
IG post:
Im looking for the same result…quoted time is 4-5 weeks ( less than I expected) and the cost is only $40 more than what Alden would charge for their in house re-sole.

Thanks! I would be too but I have brown Road Champs with a Takeshi triple leather sole and black Lofgrens so I can't justify it. If he had been around earlier I would have em… Also love his Underdogs.

I got my Alden Indy’s back from Brian yesterday..25 days from door to door. I’m really happy with the results as well.
-
Wow, those look amazing. Great work
-
Just a heads up, Brian has started posting vids again every Sunday.

@Boyo do you know if your resole is slip resistant? Need my indys resoled and the neocork is terrible and slippery.
-
Hey @Matty123, yes I would consider the Role Club half sole to be pretty slip resistant, at least for “normal” use. It’s a hard rubber but after a few wears they scuff up and footing seems pretty secure.
This is how they look today, with a pretty solid amount of wear..

Thanks Billy!

Is Brian the Bootmaker the only person out there that can do a resole?
I don’t think resoling stitch down boots is a standard skill for cobblers or shoe makers anymore, but there are still many specialists who can do it.
-
Yeah, it's not something that some dude at the mall will do, but there are lots of decent repair shops that will be able to do a reasonable quality resole. Call around and ask and you should be able to find a local shop.

If I do a re-sole i'll probably go with Brian, or Alden. I'd eventually like to get a lug sole or commando sole so that my boots have some sort of grip.
-
Yeah that’s why I was wondering about Brian’s branded soles. I’m doing a resole in the next few months. Def commando or something non slip
-
I am on the horns of a dilemma. Do I pay full buck for a hand crafted pair of Engineer Boots from Brian or accept a cheaper pair from elsewhere which will be great but not as great. Thoughts?
