These USA-made Danner boots were turned down by other cobblers. The stitchdown construction was too complicated, the soles were worn through, and the job wasn’t worth the effort… to anyone else.
I decided to take on the challenge myself — a full custom rebuild done entirely by hand. We’re talking:
– Blacked out Vibram wedge soles
– Hand-stitched midsoles
– Stitchdown welt reconstruction
– Burnished black leather mids
This isn’t just a boot resole — it’s a full transformation, built for the long haul. If you’re into handmade boot repair, custom boot builds, or watching detailed craftsmanship with a purpose, this one’s for you.
🔧 Tools used: stitch groover, welt knife, Vibram outsole, hand awl
🥾 Boot model: Danner Bull Run (Made in USA, stitchdown)
