This is fantastic. I wish you made this video years ago. People are still spouting Rose Anvil bunk about “leatherboard”. Guess what leatherboard breaks in faster than full veg tanned leather and is lighter and works fine. You don’t need off road mud tires on a Honda civic

I have two pair of Thorogood's moc toe and round toe. I work in both pair of those boots and one pair i have own since 2017 and i have used and abused them on construction sites. I also own two pair of Whites that I wear causually when I have extended periods of time off from work. I'm just an everyday blue collar guy wheather I''m at work or not.

I have 2 pairs of boots for work and 1 pair of JK OT for hiking/fishing, as i got tired of the AZ desert tearing up $200 boots after 3 months.

I would’ve never purchased the Rugged African trooper if not for watching Rose Anvil, or started buying Viberg if not for RUclips, I have no regrets but everything this man says is truth!

Hey. Good video. There are not a lot of channels with solid information on western boots compared to the the amount talking about PNW boots. So keep the content coming. Thanks.

cool topic!

I haven’t seen other reviews talk about the foam insole working with the leather insole on these. I wonder if they’re using the same manufacturer as the much more pricey Chisos boots? That’s the only other heritage made brand I know that specifically designed the last sizing to accommodate for the foam insole. Thanks for the thorough and honest review 👍

Speaking of experience with “soft-tempered” leather. I had a pair of Jim Green Vellie’s that my pinkie-toe knuckle rubbed through and made a hole after a few months of wear. They’re roughout leather is too soft and too thin. This is the reason why I’m not buying their new PNW style boots, sadly.

most of my shoes are 50-100 euro , reality is , got 4 pairs in my winter rotation and 4 in my summer , walk on pavement , don't do expream work , as long as is leather , is good enough , don t care if is goodyear welted or glue , when the sole will be worn out the uper will be to , just buy a new pair ,

Nice video cool sword tattooo

I have become a huge Jim Green fan. They make all of their styles on the zero-drop/barefoot last which has become my go-to boot style. Waiting for my 9th pair to be started in February.

Very good to keep this in perspective. I think the appeal of Nicks and such for casual fashion users is that when you learn the way high quality footwear is made, you begin to respect them simply for their craftsmanship. Its like owning a Ford Mustang. Nobody needs a car that has a 4 second 0-60, but people appreciate the engineering and the visceral experience of using it. The problem is when it becomes like the people who trick themselves into thinking they need to own a pickup truck when they are a suburban soccer mom who loads the bed less than once a year. Companies want to sell you this fantasy self that if you own this product you can be this certain type of person.

Very nice pair, remember seeing them on their Instagram. I have a pair of their engineers on order right now, can’t wait to get them in.

Love those freakin sexy kickers!! I'm going to get myself that exact pair. Awesome taste buddy !! Cheers 🍻

These videos are very informative and you keep it real, something this community has been lacking for a while now.

Youre absolutely correct. Take the materialism out and emphasize utility and function. Butter knives for the table and an ax for the woods. I lean toward the fashion end and you got that aspect COVERED! Im a man that appreciates common sense from another.

A really nice review, it's a shame not so many people talk about Jim green

Any chance you could do a Lucchese review? I feel they are just living off the name at this point but im curious about your opinion

I have 3 pairs of OT’s. Black one’s for when having to dress up a little nicer like Dinner or get together’s. Brown ones for everyday time if work, even to work out in, and my grey OT pros’s for more of a lunch, running errands, days off kinda wear.

Quick question, why do you not want to oil them with obenauf’s?

Wow, what great content man, so insightful and thoughtful. Also being respectful to other youtubers even when you express disagreement to them - it's something that we're lacking as a society these days, I am super impressed! Thanks for this video, I subscribed and I definitely would love to hear more from you!

Have you looked at Urban Wolf Club? I have 3 pairs of PNW, pair of Parkhurst and others but for the price I really like my UWCs. Very casual but you can dress them up, too. Check 'em out if you have time. I wear my arch support boots for work but like you said I don't always need it, especially if I'm not going to be standing for 8-10-12 hours. I stock shelves at a major retail chain, I'm on finished cement and my job doesn't tear up my boots but maaaaan does that arch support do wonders for me. My PNWs could last me 15 years if I take care of them, or more.

Great perspective, man! I have 3 Thursday boots on rotation and had them for 5 years and I haven't bought new footwear since. Are they the best boots out there? No. But I'm an accountant and they suit my needs well. More money for other stuff and taking care of family. :) Subscribed!

Thanks for this video, i feel like i should have met you a year or two ago. Thankfully i bought a pair of jim green boots a year or two ago, but I settled on russell moccassin zephyrs that ill wear casually everyday. The quick on and off, from the zippers and the conformity of the moccassin and the waterproofness of the random need for it.

What's your favorite boot brand so far?

Also whats up with Cody James? I cant get a read on them. Are they good boots are they meh boots? I felt a few at BB and I wasn’t to impressed kinda felt cheap in some areas but decent in others idk lol I wouldn’t buyem tho

That makes sense, they’ve recently really pushed hard in terms of marketing and I dont mind it. They recently opened a store front in San Diego (of all places lol) and the people you see buying these boots are the casuals who just want comfy boots they’re gonna wear to the rodeo in January and put them in the closet and maybe bust them out every once in awhile so it makes sense they would make them more casually. I don’t agree with the price tho too high for what they are but it helps with there reputation and there brand perception more expensive = more better to the casual non western crowd

Great video and great points! I've felt the same way listening to a lot of videos. How can you review a product you've never actually used? My favorite was when a reviewer said his 2 weeks wear was equivalent to 3 months wear for a normal person. He's an office worker. Must be one crazy office because I'm a steel mill worker. I tear stuff up quick because steel trumps leather every time.

Good video. Good message. 👍 If you genuinely want that top-tier pair of boots, then go for it. Wear what you want and enjoy it. 100%. But, that being said, take some time to think about it. Make sure it's what you really want. And know that, depending on what you do for a living, a middle-of-the-road boot may last you for as long as you could possibly want. I own a pair of Thursday Captains and work as a teacher. I've had the boots for 4 or 5 years and wear them about 70% of the time, and i often walk to work (a 20-minute walk). I've had them resoled once, and the boots are still in great shape; about once a week, I'll get a compliment on them. Recently, i decided to get a 2nd pair of boots, and i toyed with the idea of getting a pair of Vibergs. I was seriously considering it but decided not to. They're beautiful, great boots, and I'd _love_ to have a pair, but i decided that for me, personally, i couldn't justify the price. Instead, I got a pair of service boots from Canada West (a company out of Winnipeg, MB). In terms of construction quality, they can't compare with a pair of Vibergs, but, for me, I suspect they'll do. (I say, "suspect" because I just got them. I haven't even broken them in yet). And in terms of style/aesthetic, they're not bad at all. Again, they're no Vibergs, but they caught my eye. So, anyway, are the boots magnificent in the same way that a pair of Vibergs are? No. But they meet my needs and wants, and I paid about 25% of what i would've otherwise paid for the Vibergs. So, if you want the expensive boots, then get them. In fact, I'll be looking at your feet with envy as you walk past. But just be sure before you buy. Get what makes sense for you.

I find them overpriced for what they are.

You can have a celastic heel fail just from walking around, though. The arch support issue is an actual thing for people who NEED the arch support, though, that they WON'T get from the Thirsty Challenger and will hafta phase them out for higher quality things w' time after they realize that they CAN'T just wear Chuck's sneakers or e'en Captain boots out the bar on occasion anymore. I think the Boot Bros were mostly addressing the OT model of the JK as being marketed as same durability as JK Superduty while being a more disposable boot. So they were also comparing JK unfavorably to other companies in other areas, too, but I don't recall the whole discussion there, but yes, despite the fit issues, my OT boots will make fine clodhoppers once in awhile until I can get them rebuilt when they need a new outsole. They are in a better position than Teik or Dale for functionality discussion, but they also want to criticize Rose while refusing t' take a more definitive stance on WHAT is the best for each: 1 day ago I evaluate lots of things, but as far as your conversation here so far I'm evaluating absolutely nothing. Cuz I don't yet know what evaluation is being asked of me. Or what question you are asking yourself. But I'm pretty sure whatever the question is the answer isn't necessarily PNW only. So again, what is the exact question? I asked the same question TWICE about how exactly are the other GYW boots significantly better than Thirsty t' justify the price difference and if there were any quality work boots overall that aren't PNW and this is what I get in response? Cop out??? At least Rose, for all his faults, holds up different models of shoes; shows you the components and the price, and then gives a less wishy-washy opinion most the time? I don't know how many people buy crap boots because he gives the green light or if they just like t' see the band saw, butiIt's a simple enough format and has OVER A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS, so if anyone gonna give better info than him, better find a good gimmick that people wanna watch instead just criticize him, etc.

Great video brother, I’ve got a pair of Nicks that I’ve been wearing for 8 months straight doing construction work, well worth the money and the most comfortable boots I’ve ever had, saving up for my second pair now

what the hell is wrong with you ? i don't spit that much in a month

Fantastic boot commentary and analysis. 👏 👏 👏 I have The Hank by Tecovas canyon sand Lizard but I only use them for going out as you say for casual and dress occasions. I really like their look but would not wear them for heavy duty or even minimal work. Yes each boot is made for a purpose either work or casual. Your python 🐍 boots look great! Your cat looks similar to mine...part Siamese? What is your cat's name? Overall great boot information and commentary! Sounds like you have quite an extensive collection! Cheers! Life is Boots...Boots is Life! 🤠

Your knowledge is incredible. Learning a lot from you.

Very informative video, brother. Keep them coming 🫡

💯 💀

I’m pretty fortunate that I fit a 12D in most American lasts. Thorogoods I’ve never been able to size properly. A 12D will not accommodate my instep. A 12EE is too wide , a 13D is too long.

Keep it up dude. I got a pair of redwood OTs for construction and living up in the rocky desert of Nevada. Love hearing about boots especially customs. Love the content and just subscribed!

Great video and informative! 👏 👏 👏

Good video boots are like drugs lol I'm hooked

Fantastic perspective!

Nice boots! I feel the same way about my channel, I just like boots. I like discussing them, showing them. I also love giving them a good solid year of use and then talking about that experience. I couldn’t care less if my channel makes money or anything else, I just like talking boots/wearing boots/working in boots, and seeing how they hold up.

Beautiful boots! Gives me an idea on my next pair. I really like the 2 heel and honey sole. I think I'll stick to 8" with all brown roughout though. Thanks.

Just curious what is the style/ticket on your elephants are? I have a very similar pair and was trying to confirm if they were elephant or replica. I’ve got hooked on Nocona bought 2 vintage in last 2 months. Newest is a shark black on black like new branded heel like your pythons white tag

I'm ordering a pair in a few hours. Can't wait.

What cowboy boot would you recommend for a beginner?

Hey brother, JK Western is NOT made in Spokane Washington, they are made in Mexico. But they are all leather, high quality, and they are made traditionally.

fugly boots

Very cool color for these boots! I prefer a snip toe but these look really nice! 🤠 🐊
