Another satisfied customer? But to clarify: the knock-offs may look the same but won't necessarily be the same "quality", longevity, performance, etc...

microphone issues almost immediately this time, too. yay

whoah, that got LOUD all a suddy!

then goes all garbly mute as usual for end

Uh, if only the condenser mic hid the mistakes better instead of just garbling the sound mostly.

with any luck temperature here will cool 30 degrees before Halloween or something, otherwise still not wearing boots much yet. thanks. also, I do still prefer their discontinued 55 Last overall, tho, too.

I haven't noticed that issue as much with the Nick's overall, but I haven't tried wearing them all day yet, either. I wore the White's for about half a day but was mostly in the car and not doing anything where I had to walk a lot, but I still don't care as much for that foot shape that whichever guy recommended I would prefer wide size was maybe correct, but I see in the OT boots that a wider front also means a MUCH wider heel that can be more problematic in some other ways, so who knows? I got the other boots and did those other new vids more recently now.

Is meant to be a throwback look, but the other guy says hiking in them can be more challenging than desired, right?

@@Highland_Paddy I don’t know know what I’d wear that kind of boot with. I don’t know many that rock the city slicker look lol.

It's definitely modeled after a traditional upland hunt boot, but could be resoled. And it's nearly MocToeBer, so maybe you'll get in the SPIRIT after all!

Unfortunately, it's neigh just one-size fits all answer. If you REALLY need vintage spec because you are in a throwback band or if you just love the nitro finish and won't play the poly-urethane, then it won't matter that the vintage USA cost way more than the Vintera because that is the only one you'll want. [The nitro finish will age more "gracefully" or handle damage better?] If all you can afford is the MIM, then rest assured that it will function pretty well and the price is charted as being the most consistent for "value" even if a Standard Fender in the old days cost three times as much in today's dollars. The old time Fenders were less Quality Control consistent overall than today's guitars. But if you want the modern neck and the lighter body and can afford the Pro model and the poly finish doesn't bother you, the USA Pro range still might edge out the MIM for this or that reason, even if his percentage chart doesn't account whatever intangibles into the added cost. [Is sound also a thing, that 60s and 50s sound different, too? The cost of the pickups and the sound of the pickups that is worth the extra $150 or $300 or whatever?] I think I said somewhere that the new Performer Tele wasn't necessarily a huge upgrade from the old MIM, but it was also a sale price and pretty much the simple guitar I wanted, but also missing some features I DO want, so the Mod Shop might still be the better guitar eventually than the Pro model if still NOT the better "value". So, annoying as it sounds, it's still a bit subjective at the end the day. Naturally, if possible, try two or three [or five] before deciding upon one or two, but I would argue that having two or three Strats is kind of the norm without being totally redundant, whereas having more than two Teles is starting to become overkill if you're not touring and such all the time. But then I still hafta do another Jazzmaster vid, right?

Well, I don't know where your winter is, so if you need something more insulated or whatever, there is always that. I'd say they're more water repellent than waterproof, so depends how much it rains and don't know if they've solved some of their distribution issues from this spring or whatever. Like I think I said somewhere, they're mostly fine casual boot if you're not planning to try and treat them like Heavy Duty work boots, etc., but they may have cut some corners in the past couple years, too, to keep price down a bit.

some microphone issue, too

Almost any time I see a used one like that from US companies, they are usually too short in length or some super narrow waist sizing issue. BUT I mentioned the other day that now UT kilts sizing is getting more close to correct apparently, but still not the same as Scottish wool for sure.

Also apparently easier to find pre-owned in Canada because ex-military use ones and such.

Well, if you see my most recent vid, I just got a poly kilt to replace a different one and they can look like wool if they're done well without the itch, but this one I don't care for the feel of the fabric as much or the fact that the brand only comes in too big or too small, but it has a good amount of pleats and all that for times when I want wool alternatives that aren't as horrible and flimsy as typical acrylic, etc.

apologies that the play samples are not as back-to-back as would be preferable.

not sure if the microphone is the issue in sample 3

Yes, but usually shoe colors and things are not meant to be taken strictly literally. And they brown laces but also black outsoles and black accent along with the yellow in the leather. I'm sure there is no BLACK in black coffee, just dark brown mostly. ???I'm not sure WHAT exactly you're "just sayin'", actually that you think I don't know that coffee and artists' paint water doesn't have a similar vibe.

All I know is that I think they had a color I liked better that I sent back because that boot didn't fit at all or something.

I got WAY WORSE heel blisters when I wore the new captains without the inner lining last week, too. Kind of a rough sueded heel bit that rubbed terribly through the sock in less than an hour and still not healed.

Also, if you didn't see that vid, the Logger model is basically the same thing as the Hero model but with taller shaft, so I wish I would have gotten that one instead maybe but don't know that it's worth extra money. They had a big warehouse sale, so I tried to get a discounted pair, but then the sizing was still off, so by the time I returned them, the bigger sizes were gone and so were the other color of the Captains that never shipped or whatever.

Correction: I think there was another color of Captain that I liked better that I didn't ORDER because they had the wrong outsole, but they still don't offer all the same colors across all the models, anyway.

I just saw this when I went to look at the BW one again, but the "fraying" he mentions is the selvedge which I explained. He also showed photos that I didn't copy since it's the awful bright green Irish tartan that nobody wants to see, anyway. Don't know what kilt he got married in that ALSO had loose threads, but it couldn't have been much better quality than this one if he thought 30 bucks was a great price or whatever. BUT my sizing issue was far less bad than his and I would still likely give 1 star or maybe 2 for generous since, like I also said, there are actually still kilts with WORSE fabric and such.

I had to unpin the other comment with the long exchange to highlight this one instead now, but I already did fairly comprehensive vids on kilts and accessories last year that got few views and pretty much no questions...

I have updated the description bit considerably now.
