Nice to see someone do a classic half welt and pegged sole. Those are rare, and getting more so.

I converted these Chippewa Engineer Boots to a 40's Style.
This pair is a bit different from the other 40's conversion I have done in the past. The owner gave me the privilege to add my own twist with this project. I added two thin leather soles like the original Chips. I also stacked the the heel with more leather and put a thin Catspaw rubber heel. To finish it off, the owner sent me these sweet roller buckles very identical to the originals.

Here is a picture of the process I go through with every resole I do. I handwelt every pair of shoes/boots for more durability. For instance I converted the stitcher construction on these Vibergs to a handwelt construction.

Hey Brian, just curious but why did you replace the straps?
-
Because the weight of original instep straps were too light so the holes for the pin were stretched out and wasn't wide enought for the roller buckle.
